Norway has made efforts to improve safety at sea and ability to reduce consequences of shipping accidents in regions under Norwegian jurisdiction and to fulfill international obligations for specific NAV areas in the High North. Following from a number of accidents along the Northern Norway coastline...

...can be used as guidelines for the development of energy supply and technology deployment in regional energy systems. In order to produce recommendations for policy development and regional energy investment strategies, both quantitative and qualitative research were applied. Until an international climate...

...intermittent generation into the network and its reliable operation require a gradual evolution of the network structure and in particular improvement of its monitoring or observing. The present practices of observing distribution networks are quite limited and vary from country to country. New network...

...fire-fighting and maintenance where it may either be too narrow or too dangerous for personnel to operate. This thesis reports novel results within modelling and control of snake robots as steps toward developing snake robots capable of such operations. A survey of the various mathematical models and motion...

...emerged to specify the deployment of cloud-based applications and automate the provisioning of computational resources. While CloudML was introduced in the REMICS project, its development continued by ongoing projects, i.e., ARTIST, MODAClouds, and PaaSage. As the evolution of CloudML in the three projects...

...rock and increase its borehole failure strength. The technique is modeled using Cox’s original shear-lag method. In the continuum sense, nail reinforcement is viewed as a body force that acts as a confinement. The finite element formulation of the reinforced elastoplastic borehole is presented and results...

...of equally serious incidents in the recent past. This talk will give a brief introduction to some of these incidents, highlighting important trends and the need for increased vigilance....

Mechanochemical reactions between KBH4 and KBF4 result in the formation of potassium fluoroborohydrides K(BHxF4−x) (x = 0–4), as determined by 11B and 19F solid state NMR. The materials maintain the cubic KBH4 structure. Thermogravimetric (TG) data for a ball-milled sample with KBH4:KBF4 = 3:1 are consistent...

...prioritized, or because the practitioners are not able to see the relevance and importance of the activities to the improvement of the security in the project. In many teams, security activities can be seen as an innovation and as such, there is a need for a champion to realize these innovations in the...

...most attention from both industry and academia. Femtocells may either be part of a HetNet as standardised within 3GPP, or constitute the secondary system in cognitive networks. Power control is a useful mechanism to allow efficient communications within both femto- and macrocells, but should be designed...

...of frozen mackerel is an important component in respect of food safety and quality for the export from Norway to Japan. Vital processes in the cold chain were identified in respect of the flow of goods through processing, storage and transport. RFID combined with temperature sensors was regarded as one...
