This article presents the results of mechanical testing and structural analysis of the glulam frame supporting novel external façade envelope elements made of aluminium, glass, and insulation. The glulam frame forms the basic structural support for the new modular hybrid façade system, an industrial...
Circular strategies of prolonging and closing resource flows within the economy hold the potential of avoiding greenhouse gas emissions and reducing other environmental impacts. There are several circularity indexing systems that account for material circularity in buildings. However, there is a...
Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) is used in the minimally invasive sampling of thoracic lymph nodes. In lung cancer staging, the accurate assessment of mediastinal structures is essential but challenged by variations in anatomy, image quality, and operator-dependent image interpretation. This study...
For å redusere utslippene fra tungtransport har Norge stort fokus på innfasing av ny teknologi, med et økende antall batteri-elektriske og biogasslastebiler. Denne rapporten gir en oppdatert oppsummering av erfarin¬ger, barrierer, drivere og læringspunkter for videre teknologiomstilling mht. batteri...
This study investigates the potential economies of scope in the Norwegian public hospital sector after a major structural and organizational reform. Economies of scope refers to potential cost savings occurring from the scope of production rather than the scale. We use a data driven approach to...
Traditional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods used for wind field prediction can be time-consuming, limiting architectural creativity in the early-stage design process. Deep learning models have the potential to significantly speed up wind field prediction. This work introduces a...
Seafood products are mainly provided through trade to international markets and Norway is the major international player for the export of salmon products. It is argued that fresh or chilled salmon, which are perishable products and Norway's main seafood export, need stable trade partners to safely...
The timely and precise prediction of flooding progression and its eventual outcome in ships with breached hulls can lead to dramatic improvements in maritime safety through improved guidance for both emergency response and ship design. The traditional approach to assessing damage-induced flooding in...
Introduction: Despite the positive effects of physical activity (PA) to prevent lifestyle diseases and improve health and well-being, only one-third of Norwegian adults meet the minimum recommendations on PA. Digital interventions to promote PA in inactive adults may improve health and well-being by...
Digital Twin technology has emerged to become a key enabling technology in the ongoing transition into Industry 4.0. A Digital Twin is in essence a digital representation of an asset that provides better insight into its dynamics by combining a priori knowledge of the system through mathematical...
Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) poses a major threat in marine land-based recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) leading to acute mortality in sensitive fish species such as Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). To date, little is known about the effects of H2S on the physiology and behavior of the species. The...
Although pharmaceuticals are increasingly detected in abiotic matrices in the Arctic, the accumulation of drugs in the resident biota and trophic transfer have not been yet examined. This study investigated the behaviour of several pharmaceuticals in the rocky-bottom, macrobenthic food web in the...
