Large-scale CO2 and energy storage is a mandatory part of the green shift to reduce CO2 emissions and limit consequences of climate change. Large-scale storage will require the use of shut-down depleted hydrocarbon fields to take advantage of well-characterized reservoirs and cap rocks. Thanks to...
... Since January 2021, Havila Kystruten has been one of two companies sailing the coastal route between Bergen and Kirkenes. This paper contains information on the new shipping company Havila Kystruten and their 2019 bid for a 10‐year operational license to sail the coastal route. The governmentʹs...
In conventional Visual Odometry (VO), featureless scenarios, such as facing uniformly textured walls often lead to failure or reliance on fused inertial tracking. Depending on sensor quality, calibration and initialization, this can cause severe drift of the positioning solution, limiting the use of...
With low latency communication, it is possible to improve the reliability and reduce the downtime for the electric grids with coordination of digital protection relays. 5G wireless networks are quickly getting better coverage and becoming a viable alternative for smart grid communication. Moreover...
The healthy “superfood” sector is currently quickly developing in Europe, and grocery stores are increasingly stocking macroalgae food supplements. Due to its high amount of protein, fiber, and minerals, numerous studies have demonstrated that seaweed has a significant potential for usage as a...
Background Establishing positive oral health behaviours during adolescence should be a key priority to improve lifelong oral health. However, changing adolescent behaviours is known to be a challenge. Motivational interviewing (MI) is a method of working with patients to activate their motivation...
A thorough regulation of building energy systems translates in relevant energy savings and in a better comfort for the occupants. Algorithms to predict the thermal state of a building on a certain time horizon with a good confidence are essential for the implementation of effective control systems...
Various aspects of power system flexibility are evaluated within the multi-country study framework of IEA Wind Task 25. Grid components and actions which have been adopted for enhancing flexibility in different areas, countries, regions are addressed, as well as how Transmission System Operators...
Background: Identifying occupational health hazards among Registered Nurses (RNs) and other health personnel and implementing effective preventive measures are crucial to the long-term sustainability of health services. The objectives of this study were (1) to assess the 12-month prevalence rates of...
Arguably, the main challenge of nucleation theory is to accurately evaluate the work of formation of a critical embryo in the new phase, which governs the nucleation rate. In Classical Nucleation Theory (CNT), this work of formation is estimated using the capillarity approximation, which relies on...
Objectives: The 11+ is an effective injury prevention warm-up programme but is often poorly adopted in practice. One reason for low compliance is the claim that the strength training part of the programme acutely impairs muscle performance before the football activity. This study aims to compare the...
Approximately 20% of acquired brain injury (ABI) survivors experience reduced psychological wellbeing (PWB). Neuropsychological rehabilitation (NPR) is one approach supporting people with ABI to participate meaningfully in activities despite challenges. Although literature supports NPR effectiveness...
Interventions addressing cognitive and emotional difficulties after acquired brain injury (ABI) often focus on specific impairments in cognition or mood. These interventions can be effective at addressing their specific target, but do not routinely translate to improved activity and participation...
This paper describes the sustainability design process of a mobile augmented reality (MAR) application called AudioNear. Through a four-step process and a dedicated workshop with developers, the Sustainability Awareness Framework (SusAF) is applied to capture and connect sustainability issues into...
I 2018 lanserte Helsedirektoratet pilotprosjektet Strukturert tverrfaglig oppfølgingsteam med mål om å implementere nasjonal veileder for oppfølging av personer med store og sammensatte behov (2017) i seks kommuner. Veilederen retter seg mot ledere på alle nivå og tjenesteområder i kommunen som yter...
In this paper, we improve upon a method for optimal control of quadrupedal robots which utilizes a full-order model of the system. The original method utilizes offline nonlinear optimal control to synthesize a control scheme which exponentially orbitally stabilizes the closed-loop system. However...
Liquid air energy storage (LAES) is regarded as one of the promising large-scale energy storage technologies due to its characteristics of high energy density, being geographically unconstrained, and low maintenance costs. However, the low liquid yield and the incomplete utilization of compression...
The field of time series anomaly detection is constantly advancing, with several methods available, making it a challenge to determine the most appropriate method for a specific domain. The evaluation of these methods is facilitated by the use of metrics, which vary widely in their properties...
