In a short span of time since its introduction, generative artificial intelligence (AI) has garnered much interest at both personal and organizational levels. This is because of its potential to cause drastic and widespread shifts in many aspects of life that are comparable to those of the Internet...

Over the last decade, many organizations worldwide have been assimilating Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to increase their productivity and attain a competitive advantage. As with any technology, intelligence systems come with potential downsides. Despite the efforts to mitigate any...

We present the Seismic Laboratory for Imaging and Modeling/Monitoring open-source software framework for computational geophysics and, more generally, inverse problems involving the wave equation (e.g., seismic and medical ultrasound), regularization with learned priors, and learned neural...

Large-scale CO₂ injection for geo-sequestration in deep saline aquifers can significantly increase reservoir pressure, which, if not appropriately managed, can lead to potential environmental risk. Brine extraction from the aquifer has been proposed as a method to control the reservoir pressure and...

Background There is a lack of knowledge concerning how changes in family structures are associated with involvement in child welfare systems. Particularly little attention has been paid to the role of parental relationship transitions, which may involve major changes in the lives of children and...

Background: Up to 70% of people with multiple sclerosis (MS) experience cognitive difficulties. Cognitive rehabilitation is a type of therapy that helps manage cognitive problems. Objective: The Cognitive Rehabilitation for Attention and Memory in MS (CRAMMS) trial showed some evidence of...

Yards are industrial sites for production and servicing of ships and offshore maritime installations, such as oil and gas platforms and modules, offshore windmills, and fish farms—all essential products in the maritime industry. Although many yards are performing highly complex and technically...

The home is becoming a key location for healthcare delivery, including the use of technology driven by autonomous systems (AS) to monitor and support healthcare plans. Using the example of a smart mirror, this paper describes the outcomes of focus groups with people with multiple sclerosis (MS; n...

Ultrasonic well integrity logging is an important and common procedure for well completion and plug-and-abandonment operations. Typical logging tools employ single-element ultrasound transducers. In medical ultrasound imaging, however, more flexible phased arrays are the standard. This paper...

Automation is expected to improve efficiency, as well as increase safety and quality. However, as more automation is added to a system, the lower the situation awareness of the operators may be. In safety critical systems this could have severe effects. Recent accidents illustrate that poor design...

Highly automated and autonomous seaborne vessels (ASV) are developed to improve environmental impact and transport of goods and people. ASV are expected to be remotely supervised, to fulfil legal requirements and assure safe handling in cases of emergencies. The AutoSafe project is developing...

Today, the number of crew required to operate small, conventional passenger ships is often equal to the number of safety crew required to ensure passenger safety in emergency situations. This paper investigate whether it is possible to realize autonomous passenger ships and still maintain passenger...

Levels of Autonomy (LOA) is a popular subject in both scientific and regulatory literature. This applies to many different types of autonomous systems, but here we will focus on "Maritime Autonomous Surface Ship" (MASS). LOA is often looked at as a scale on which one can measure autonomy, as if it...

Assurance of functional safety of safety instrumented systems includes monitoring of reliability performance throughout the operational phase. Currently, collecting and analyzing failure data and re-calculating reliability performance are manual and work-intensive tasks. The main objective of this...
