Structural optimization has gained popularity in modern structural design, helping to reduce material consumption while maintaining the structural performance of buildings. This process also significantly influences the architectural appearance, affecting various aspects such as cross-section sizing...
The prediction of the structural properties of biobased carbonaceous materials of pyrolytic origin (chars) with only base feedstock properties and process conditions still poses a challenge that hinders char tailoring for novel applications. CFD modeling of single biomass particle conversion can...
Multiport converters with a large number of ports have been explored for integrated generation units or batteries. An attractive candidate multiport converter has been developed based on the modular multilevel converter (MMC) with cell loading. Accordingly, this study proposes a control strategy for...
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to provide in-depth knowledge on customer-facing technology and customer experience in the grocery retail sector, including how the value-added potential of customer-facing technologies may be enhanced. Design/methodology/approach: The analysis is based on 30 in...
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) serve many critical systems. Unfortunately, the GNSS based services are threatened by interference causing anomalies to the acquired signals. To protect the critical infrastructure, navigation signal quality should be monitored, anomalies immediately...
Floating solar (FPV) energy production represents an innovative technology with the potential to increase renewable power production, meeting both rising consumption and the need to replace fossil-based energy. The HydroSun Competence project, led by the Institute for Energy Technology (IFE) and...
This paper presents cyber threats and vulnerabilities in Norwegian power distribution networks identified from historical incidents and practical experiences over the last decade....
Describing uncertainty is one of the major issues in modern deep learning. Artificial Intelligence models could be used with greater confidence by having solid methods for identifying and quantifying uncertainty. This article proposes two alternative methods for outlier detection in Bayesian Neural...
Prosjektet «Morgendagens skoler – et samspill mellom arkitektur, pedagogikk og læring» har ved hjelp av casestudier utviklet empirisk kunnskap om hvordan skolers fysiske miljøer brukes og oppleves av forskjellige brukere, og hvordan brukeropplevelsene samsvarer med opplæringas mål og forutsetninger...
The global impact of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions on climate change is undeniable, with carbon dioxide (CO2) identified as the primary contributor to global warming. Urgent action is required to mitigate global warming by reducing anthropogenic CO2 emissions to achieve net-zero levels...
European plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) is among Europe's top-consumed fish species, but wild stocks fluctuate and change their habitat due to drastic changes in climate. Their potential in aquaculture is under consideration, and therefore multiple quality aspects have been evaluated in this study...
Airway mucus is a major barrier to the delivery of lipid-based nanoparticles in chronic airway diseases such as cystic fibrosis (CF). Receptor-Targeted Nanocomplexes (RTN), comprise mixtures of cationic lipids and bifunctional peptides with receptor-targeting and nucleic acid packaging properties...
Seaweed-based bioplastics are considered a possible alternative to conventional fossil-based plastics due to their potential environmental advantages. The cultivation of seaweed is a fast-growing practice that requires no arable land, freshwater, or fertilizers, perceiving it as an advantageous...
This paper introduces a simultaneous optimization approach to synthesizing work and heat exchange networks (WHENs). The proposed work and heat integration (WHI) superstructure enables different thermodynamic paths of pressure and temperature-changing streams. The superstructure is connected to a...
In traditional short-term hydropower scheduling problems, which usually determine the optimal power generation schedules within one week, the off-design zone of a hydraulic turbine is modeled as a forbidden zone due to the significantly increased risk of turbine damage when operating within this...
