For large ports and terminals, the loading and discharge operations have to a great extent been automated already. However, for the vast number of small ports, for instance all Norwegian ports, this large-scale automation is not possible due to the small size of the ports compared to the cost of...

The so-called non-linear vector fitting (NL-VF) technique was recently introduced as a new method for rational function approximation in the frequency domain (FD). While the classical vector fitting (VF) fits a rational function to a given frequency response, NL-VF calculates the rational function...

Robust motion planning in highly dynamic environments affected by challenging conditions remains an important task for autonomous robots, and an open problem for the robotics community. This paper proposes significant extensions to the elastic band method that gives more robustness to uncertainty in...

Hydrogen and ammonia are considered crucial carbon-free energy carriers optimally suited for seasonal chemical storage and balancing of the energy system. In this context, longitudinally staged combustion systems represent an attractive technology in power generation for their capability of...

Bioenergy crops can cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, yet often bring hard-to-quantify environmental impacts. We present an approach for integrating global land use modeling into life cycle assessment (LCA) to estimate effects of bioenergy crops. The approach involves methodological choices...

Biotechnology, as an enabling technology, is among the fastest-growing technologies in industrialization globally. Biotechnology is important for a number of value chains globally and nationally, such as in the biorefining of land-based and marine biomasses, in the production of bioenergy, the...
