Kronisk utmattelsessyndrom/myalgisk encefalopati (ME/CFS) er en kompleks og kronisk sykdom som er assosiert med en betydelig reduksjon i livskvalitet for de rammede. I denne studien estimerer vi insidensraten for ME/CFS i den norske befolkningen mellom 2016 og 2018. Data om pasienter er innsamlet...
The large brown seaweeds (kelps) are potential sources of protein for animal feed. They have lower protein contents than most red and green algae, but due to potential for large-scale production, they may represent a significant future protein source. The impact of pH, temperature and...
Large-scale transformations of agile ways of working have received more attention in the industry in recent years. Some organizations have developed their own solutions for scaling, whereas many have chosen trademarked frameworks. In large-scale agile software development, many developers and...
The lack of generalizability of deep learning approaches for the automated diagnosis of pathologies in Wireless Capsule Endoscopy (WCE) has prevented any significant advantages from trickling down to real clinical practices. As a result, disease management using WCE continues to depend on exhaustive...
Flue gas recirculation (FGR) for the silicon process may facilitate increasing the CO2 concentration in the off-gas, which will be beneficial for potential future carbon capture. Lower oxygen concentration in the combustion gas will also reduce NOx emissions. An existing 400 kVA Submerged Arc...
Psychological safety is a precondition for learning and success in software teams. But what happens to psychological safety when work becomes remote? In this article, we explore how Norwegian software developers experienced remote work under the pandemic and after restrictions were waved and...
Alginate hydrogels have been broadly investigated for use in medical applications due to their biocompatibility and the possibility to encapsulate cells, proteins, and drugs. In the treatment of peritoneal metastasis, rapid drug clearance from the peritoneal cavity is a major challenge. Aiming to...
Modern information systems are built fron a complex composition of networks, infrastructure, devices, services, and applications, interconnected by data flows that are often private and financially sensitive. The 5G networks, which can create hyperlocalized services, have highlighted many of the...
Wear and tear on fishing gear is a sparsely investigated source of microplastic pollution in the sea. In Norway, Danish seine ropes and trawls are the fishing gears that contribute most to this pollution. The main reason for this pollution is that the seine ropes are dragged along the seabed over a...
Following the latest Permian extinction ∼252 million years ago, normal marine and terrestrial ecosystems did not recover for another 5-9 million years. The driver(s) for the Early Triassic biotic crisis, marked by high atmospheric CO2 concentration, extreme ocean warming, and marine anoxia, remains...
To create an international recommendation concerning the release of alkalis, test method AAR-8 was developed within the scope of RILEM TC 258-AAA activities. The first round robin test was performed using five aggregate types, and further investigation was conducted as RRT2, leading to the final...
Abstract: This paper presents a novel intelligent system based on graph convolutional neural networks to study road crack detection in intelligent transportation systems. The visual features of the input images are first computed using the well-known Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT...
Nullutslippsnabolag er områder med ambisjon om å redusere direkte og indirekte klimagassutslipp mot null. En av utfordringene kommuner og eiere/utbyggere møter når de vil bygge i tråd med normene for nullutslippsnabolag, er mangel på samordning mellom regler for arealplanlegging og energiproduksjon...
The moisture safety designs of basements used for habitation have become a topic of concern. Basements are prone to high moisture strain and have a limited outward drying ability compared with above-grade structures. The risk of interior moisture-related damage can be reduced if the basement walls...
Medical devices and their connectivity capabilities are providing a variety of benefits to the healthcare domain, including remote monitoring, automated alerts, and improved patient outcomes. However, these medical devices introduce a range of new potential cyber security risks when connected to the...
This paper evaluates the potential of grid services in France, Italy, Norway and Spain to provide an alternative income for electrolysers producing hydrogen from wind power. Grid services are simulated with each country's data for 2017 for energy prices, grid services and wind power profiles from...
The performance of carbon anodes in aluminium production will depend on both the coke quality (impurities, structure) and the physical properties of the anode (density, permeability, electric resistivity). Here, a set of industrial anodes of different porosity and permeability, and a set of pilot...
