In this experimental study the performance of novel compact evaporator configuration was investigated. What makes this evaporator configuration unique is the integration of a gravity-fed/ self-circulation evaporator loop on one side of a plate heat exchanger (pre-cooling the secondary flow) and an...

High physical work demands are believed to be partly responsible for the high sickness absence among home care workers, but no studies have assessed their physical work demands using precise device-based measurements. Hence, the objective of this observational study was to assess physical work...

Training within Industry was created under World War II by the U.S. Department of War, within the War Manpower Commission, to assist defense industries meet the high production output demand from less or inexperienced labor. It ran from 1940 to 1945, made its way to Japan after the war and became a...

The pollution of the environment with plastics is of growing concern worldwide, including the Arctic region. While larger plastic pieces are a visible pollution issue, smaller microplastics are not visible with the naked eye. These particles are available for interaction by Arctic biota and have...

Solar silicon wafers are mainly produced through multiwire sawing. The sawing process induces micro cracks on the wafer surface, which are responsible for brittle fracture. Hence, it is important to scrutinize the crack geometries most commonly generated in silicon wafer sawing or handling process...

The standard lightning impulse voltage wave used in transformer factory testing does not properly cover all the overvoltage stresses that a transformer can experience while in service. To properly asses the internal overvoltages that can occur in practice, we propose to interface the manufacturer's...

Most microplastic (MP) and nanoplastic (NP) environmental fate and hazard assessments utilise spherical, monodisperse polymer particles that do not represent the continuum of partially degraded, irregular-shaped MPs in the natural environment. A such, there is a strong need for environmentally...

The integration of renewable energy sources into modern electrical grids contributes to satisfying the continuously increasing energy demand. This can be done in a sustainable way since renewable sources are both inexhaustible and non-polluting. Different renewable energy devices, such as wind power...

Accountability becomes a necessary principle for future computer systems. This is specially critical for the cloud and Web applications that collect personal and sensitive data from end users. Accountability regards the responsibility and liability for the data handling performed by a computer...

Denne rapporten presenterer resultater fra gjennomgang av tidligere NVE‐rapporter rundt temaet leverandørkjedesikkerhet, supplert med et litteratursøk blant nyere akademisk litteratur og diskusjoner med et lite utvalg av bransjeaktører, og anbefaler basert på dette, et sett med anbefalinger til krav...

Det er utført støyberegninger for en tredje rullebane ved Oslo Lufthavn, hvor den nye rullebanen er plassert nordvest for dagens vestre bane. Beregningene er gjort for år 2030, 2040 og 2050 og inkluderer forventet trafikkvekst og utskiftinger i flyparken mot stillere flytyper. Som referanse er det...

Abstract: This paper introduces a novel deep learning architecture for identifying outliers in the context of intelligent transportation systems. The use of a convolutional neural network with decomposition is explored to find abnormal behavior in maritime data. The set of maritime data is first...
