This article presents a target detection algorithm based on spatial gradient image features to enhance radar detection performance in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) environments. The proposed spatial gradient-based detector (SGBD) exploits the characteristic appearance patterns of targets in radar...

The European Union's ambitious carbon reduction targets for 2030 demand innovative solutions across energy-intensive sectors. Among these, the glass industry is actively seeking sustainable alternatives to natural gas combustion, a major source of carbon emissions in glass production. This paper...

Notatet beskriver noen presiseringer i metode for beregning av tilstandsindikator for bæreevne bru, tunnelsikkerhetsforskriften og bæreevne veg...

Dette notatet oppsummerer drøftinger om hvilke tema eller vegobjekter som er aktuelle for tilstandsindikatorer. Hensikten med notatet er å dokumentere diskusjoner knyttet til valg av indikatorer i løpet av prosjektet og peke på behov og muligheter for videreutvikling....

Notatet beskriver arbeidet med utvikling av metode for beregning av tilstandsindikator for dekketilstand....

The transport of drugs into tumor cells near the center of the tumor is known to be severely hindered due to the high interstitial pressure and poor vascularization. The aim of this work is to investigate the possibility to induce acoustic streaming in a tumor. Two tumor cases (breast and abdomen...

The design of cryogenic liquid storage solutions requires accurate methods for estimating heat ingress, from the material level to the tank level. For insulation materials, thermal performance is usually measured using ambient conditions and liquid nitrogen at 77 K as boundary temperatures. A key...

With increasingly strict requirements for emission reductions in the cruise shipping industry there is a need for improved utilisation of on‐board waste heat, either directly or in the production of electrical power. The performance and subsequent optimal choice of technologies and solutions for...

New environmental constraints for hydropower improve ecosystems but reduce energy production and flexibility, creating a dilemma between protecting nature and ensuring a sufficient and reliable energy supply. Approximately 88% of Norway’s power comes from hydropower, produced by over 1770 plants...

Dual-port grid-forming control enables simultaneous ac and dc voltage regulation for modular multilevel converters (MMCs) connecting the HVDC transmission line to the ac network. However, its ability to provide damping and inertial power is inherently constrained by the limited internal energy...

The use of PZT as a dielectric for RF MEMS shunt switches to improve the RF performance is investigated. Currently, the dielectric properties of PZT at microwave frequencies are not fully characterized. Thus ungrounded coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission lines were designed and used to...
