CBC in media 2013

Teknisk Ukeblad; April 28 - 2013: "Hvorfor stanser hjertet hos noen, og hva gj¿r et infarkt med hjertet?"

The article titled "Why do some hearts stop, and what does an ischemia do to the heart?" focus on our studies on heart failure, and in particular on our efforts on improving the computational models of the heart. These models are very mathematical challenging and time consuming to calculate. We work on improving the models with regard to efficiency and accuracy, which in turn will promote a better understanding of our heart. Our combined focus on the electrical and mechanical behavior of the heart not only helps us to understand how the heart work, but may also provide solutions to why and how hearts fail and how we can prevent and treat heart diseases.
This article was also publishet on the webpages of the Research Council of Norway: www.forskningsradet.no/prognett-evita/Nyheter/Regner_for_livet/1253985052474/p1226485583574

Ring blad; 12.11.2011; Page 38-39: "Oljeteknologi på hjernen"

Our research on aneurysm rupture is picked up by a local newspaper (Ring blad) under the heading: "Oil technologi on the brain". Our research indicate that simulating the blood flow in patients aneurysms will make us able to better predict whether there is risk of life threatening rupture or not. Recent calculations show that turbulence may occur in some aneurysms, this might explain the mechanisms that lead to rupture in these aneurysms. The research was performed in cooperation with our research partners at Oslo University Hospital, the University Hospital of Northern Norway and the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI).

Budstikka; 09.11.2011; Page 5: "Kan forutsi hjerneblødning"

Our research on aneurysm rupture is picked up by a local newspaper (Budstikka) under the heading: "May predict hemorrhage". Our research indicate that simulating the blood flow in patients aneurysms will make us able to better predict whether there is risk of life threatening rupture or not. Recent calculations show that turbulence may occur in some aneurysms, this might explain the mechanisms that lead to rupture in these aneurysms.

Ambulanseforum; 07.11.2011: "Kan forutsi hjerneblødning"

Our research on aneurysm rupture is picked up by the national magazine for emergency and rescue service (Ambulanse forum) under the heading: "May predict hemorrhage". Our research indicate that simulating the blood flow in patients aneurysms will make us able to better predict whether there is risk of life threatening rupture or not. Recent calculations show that turbulence may occur in some aneurysms, this might explain the mechanisms that lead to rupture in these aneurysms. Professor David Steinman at the University of Toronto confirms that these findings probably will lead to a paradigm shift in the field of computational cerebral hemodynamics. The scientific community have in general neglected the effects of turbulence in the cerebral blood system, regarding it either as non existent or unimportant. Our findings may also result in the development of new methods for detecting potentially harmful aneurysms. The research was performed in cooperation with our research partners at Oslo University Hospital, the University Hospital of Northern Norway and the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI).

CBC in media 2008

Uniforum; 04.02.2008: "Revolusjonerer undervisninga i realfag"

Article about our cooperation with the University of Oslo, the Centre of Mathematics for Applications (CMA) and Simula (CBC) to reform traditional courses in mathematics intensive student programs. The reform consists of integrating numerical methods, programming and visualization in basic bachelor courses on mathematics, physics, mechanics, astrophysics, geophysics, and so on.
