Current control systems for autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) often disregard model uncertainties and the need to adapt dynamically to varying model parameters. This limitation hinders their ability to ensure reliable performance under complex and frequently changing maritime conditions...

Underwater navigation is an area of increasing research interest due to its fundamental complexity and industrial applications. However, due to convenience and current theoretical understanding, the vast majority of underwater platforms utilize thrusters, while other forms of propulsion, such as...

Tire wear emissions are one of the biggest and most overlooked sources of microplastics pollution. If the Global Plastics Treaty leaves them out, it risks failing to meet its intended aims....

It is found that due to a simplification in the metaplast model, the original chemical percolation devolatilization (CPD) model does not ensure mass conservation. This is caused by the fact that evacuation of tar is only approximately accounted for in the underlying formulas derived from percolation...

Mean value coordinates can be used to map one polygon into another, with application to computer graphics and curve and surface modelling. In this paper, we show that if the polygons are quadrilaterals, and if the target quadrilateral is convex, then the mapping is injective....

Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a cornerstone in minimally invasive thoracic lymph node sampling. In lung cancer staging, precise assessment of lymph node position is crucial for clinical decision-making. This study aimed to demonstrate a new deep...

Chapter highlights – Provides a blueprint for leveraging transition design to create more inclusive experiences of outdoor activities. – Extends the understanding of transition design by demonstrating its applicability in tourism by applying such a design process. – Develops prototypes aimed at...

Regjeringen oppnevnte i mars 2024 en ekspertgruppe for å se på virkemidler for å fremme sirkulære aktiviteter. Et slikt arbeid var anbefalt og nevnt i flere prosesser i forkant. Langsiktig og bærekraftig forvaltning av ressurser er et grunnprinsipp i regjeringens politikk. Vi må gå fra en...

På laboratoriet i Trondheim begynner den første norske samlingen av endometriosevev å ta form. Mariell Brunvær (32) håper den vil bidra til at færre pasienter må oppleve den samme reisen som hun hadde....

The rapid advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs) has opened new possibilities for intelligent multi-agent systems capable of autonomously performing complex tasks. To build such systems, LLMs can be leveraged for task-solving, tool interaction, and code generation but at the same time their...

In Norwegian coastal communities, rubber microplastic granules (≤ 5 mm in size) derived from discarded vehicle tires are used in large quantities on outdoor synthetic turf sports pitches. Through transport by waste water effluents and terrestrial runoff, these rubber particles are considered a...
