Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) experience periodic drops in dissolved oxygen (O2) inside aquaculture sea cages. In order to evaluate whether fish function or welfare is compromised during such drops in O2 (termed hypoxia), it is necessary to establish the limit for acceptable O2 reductions; the...
Patient pathway has become a key concept in the organization of healthcare. However, the materialization and operationalization of pathways often focus on work processes of health personnel, clinical decision-making, and deadlines, contradicting the strong patient-oriented perspective that is...
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) necessitates tailored care along intricate pathways throughout a patient's lifetime. Visualizing these pathways enhances the collective understanding of care processes and fosters collaboration among stakeholders. This study employed a qualitative study to map and the...
This article provides an estimation model for calibrating the kinematics of manipulators with a parallel geometrical structure. Parameter estimation for serial link manipulators is well developed, but fail for most structures with parallel actuators, because the forward kinematics is usually not...
The project aimed to enhance Norway’s capacity to conduct microplastic (MP) toxicity assessments by standardizing testing methods and promoting collaboration among institutes. Assessing the biological effects of microplastics on marine organisms is essential for complementing existing plastic...

Industrialisering av boligproduksjonen fikk fornyet interesse i både Skandinavia og deler av Europa etter årtusenskiftet. Årsakene var flere; økte kostnader, mangel på arbeidskraft, varierende kvalitet og stor etterspørsel etter boligbygg. Dette var også årsak til at temaet fikk oppslutning blant...
This document reports the findings of a market and research review related to state-of-the-art highly insulating window frames. The market review focuses on window frames that satisfy the Passivhaus requirements (window U-value less or equal to 0.8 W/m2K ), while other examples are also given in...
A digital product passport (DPP) is a set of data specific to a product that includes the information of a product which can be electronically accessed through a data carrier. It can support sustainable production and assist consumers and businesses in making informed choices when purchasing...
The manufacturing industry is an important part of safe and sustainable growth in Europe. Sustainable and flexible tools in the energy sector can bring benefits for quality assurance of the produced goods. This paper takes a closer look at combining such concepts as digital twins and demand response...
This paper describes a decision-making and support framework for energy efficient and flexible production planning and scheduling. The framework aims to provide guidelines to align the design and development of the energy-aware production scheduling decision support systems with the requirements and...
Heart dysfunction can be very dangerous and directly associated with the risk of fatality. Therefore, automatic heart rate monitoring is important for detecting a heart abnormality early and providing timely intervention. The development of advanced sensor technology allows continuous tracking of...
This State-of-the-art report has been compiled through extensive search of relevant literature and through information and experience provided by international experts. The report deals with the production and use of manufactured sand, which is defined as aggregate material less than 4 mm...
This State-of-the-Art report (STAR) gives an overview over factors influencing particle packing and porosity. An overview of methods for measuring and modelling particle packing and porosity is also made. Improved particle packing of the concrete matrix (i.e. particles < 125 μm) will reduce porosity...
