This paper investigates the vibration stresses endured by electronic components installed on printed circuit boards (PCB) within compact passenger and lightweight cargo Electric Vehicles (EVs). Electronic components included Ball Grid Array (BGA) and Fan-Out Wafer-Level Packages (FOWLP). Board level...

This work develops process options using a novel protonic membrane reformer (PMR) and liquefaction-based CO₂ capture process for low-carbon hydrogen production from natural gas. Several hybrid concepts of the PMR and liquefaction process are suggested based on the strategies to handle the residual...

Cable parameters are used to establish models of cables for transient and steady-state analysis. Finite element methods (FEM) can calculate such parameters accurately but are time consuming and demanding, thus not always suitable in an engineering process. In contrast, classical analytical equations...

Norsk senter for digitale teknologier i rehabilitering inviterer til hybrid seminar om de etiske aspektene ved bruk av digital teknologi....

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subtype of breast cancer associated with poor prognosis and limited treatment options. While chemotherapy has traditionally been the main treatment, resistance frequently emerges, reducing its effectiveness. Recently, a range of immunotherapy strategies...

Onboard Carbon Capture (OCC): The Everlong project The maritime industry must decarbonise. Onboard Carbon Capture (OCC) offers a promising solution for mitigating emissions from existing and new build vessels. Here, the EverLoNG project demonstrates the feasibility of OCC, exploring its technical...

Background: Cream skimming can be defined as the selective treatment of patients that demand little resources while providing high economic refunds. We test whether cream skimming occurs after the introduction of DRG-based activity-based financing (ABF) in Norway in 1997 and if the problem further...

This study presents an optimal experimental design (OED) framework for efficiently identifying low-frequency hydrodynamic loads on floating structures. The proposed method exploits the possibilities offered by cyber-physical (CP) testing, an experimental method allowing real-time control of the...

Open Source Software (OSS) projects are no longer only developed by volunteers. Instead, many organizations, from early-stage startups to large global enterprises, actively participate in many well-known projects. The survival and success of OSS projects rely on long-term contributors, who have...

This paper investigates the link between budgets, accounting information and the decisionmaking processes at both strategic and operational levels in a large Norwegian hospital, as this hospital now is facing the New Public Management reforms which are introduced in Norway. The study has examined...

In recent years, with the focus of the maritime industry on the development of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS), intelligent algorithms have been developed to be used as the decision support layers for these types of ships. The implemented navigation systems on such vessels require advanced...

This study examines the effect of ring fencing in surgical departments. Ring fencing means to shield a surgery unit from interrupting emergency cases. The analysis is performed on two levels. First, an intensive three-month study at the departmental level of three hospitals was performed. It...

As the global demand for renewable energy grows, wave energy has emerged as a promising solution due to its energy density and predictability. Norway, with its extensive coastline and strong expertise in offshore technology, possesses a notable potential for wave energy harvesting. Estimates suggest...

This paper investigates the link between performance measures and decision-making processes in the Norwegian hospital sector. The research findings are expected to add knowledge to the implementation of performance measurements and management systems in this context. The implementation of...

In recent decades, the rapid growth of intelligent sensors and technology has made the idea of autonomous ships a reality. It is anticipated that autonomous ships will become operational shortly. Researchers have already started working on developing supportive infrastructure for autonomous ship...

The increasing demand to address maritime emissions necessitates the implementation and testing of emission reduction technologies onboard ships. This study explores a risk-based certification (RBC) approach, developed under the EU/UK Green Marine project, to assess the retrofitting of a membrane...

Abstract As the lightest structural metal materials, Mg alloys are promising for wider applications but are limited by low strength and poor corrosion resistance. Precipitation is an effective way to improve the strength and other performance of Mg alloys. Facing the extremely complex precipitation...

Representing the complex operational and navigational behavior of an ocean-going vessel with a single linear model is challenging due to inherent nonlinearities and diverse operational conditions. However, vessel operations can be segmented into distinct regions, where localized linear models can...

An overview of the proposed innovations of the TwinShip Horizon Europe project (www.Twin-Ship.eu) is presented in this paper. The first part of the paper discusses the respective challenges in the shipping industry towards digital twin (DT) type technology development. The second part is consisting...
