Dose-response functions that attempt to relate the prevalence of a consequential degree of transportation noise-induced annoyance to long term cumulative noise exposure levels have typically been derived by descriptive statistical methods. These methods are not based on understanding of the effects...

Animals and their associated microbiota share long evolutionary histories. However, it is not always clear how host genotype and microbiota interact to affect phenotype. We applied a hologenomic approach to explore how host–microbiota interactions shape lifetime growth and parasite infection in...

A hybrid system combining robocasting and NIR laser postprocessing has been designed to fabricate layers of mixed proton-electron conducting Ba0.5La0.5Co1-xFexO3-δ ceramic. The proposed manufacturing technique allows for the control of the geometry and microstructure and shortens the fabrication...

Driven by the digital transformation currently pursued by organisations, artificial intelligence (AI) applications have become more frequent. Nevertheless, its impact on employees’ behaviors and attitudes is still poorly known. As employees’ engagement (EE) is a key element for a successful Lean...

This study examines road user opinions regarding small modular autonomous electric vehicles, focusing on the differences between the elderly and non-elderly populations in Norway. The data allowed for a comparison between 193 respondents under 65 years old and 208 respondents over 65 years old. The...

In emergency fire situations in road tunnels in which vehicles cannot exit the tunnel, evacuation on foot might be the only alternative. In such scenarios, self-rescue using rescue rooms might provide provisional safe shelter to people trapped in tunnel emergencies. Yet, a stay in a rescue room with...

A systematic scoping review was performed to map literature in the field of Design for Disassembly (DfD) in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction industry and identify existing built DfD structures to compare the current DfD practice and research front. Online scientific databases and...

The combined challenge of climate change and population aging requires novel solutions that enhance the resilience of building energy systems and secure indoor comfort for vulnerable occupants in extreme weather conditions. This research investigates the performance of a newly developed Energy...

Preventive measures adopted to protect buildings and infrastructure from extreme weather and natural hazard events may serve to mitigate extensive damage and thus avoid major expenditures to businesses and society. A survey of 1,001 representative companies across different sectors and regions in...

The Intelligent Ship Transport System (ISTS) project is focused on advancing the adoption of usercentred Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) standards within the maritime sector. Work Package 1 (WP1) in this project is focusing on defining user requirements and understanding industry needs. WP...

This report gives an overview of the background for the ISTS project. This includes the role of digitalization in reaching the UN sustainable development goals as well as a discussion of the benefits of digitalization and standardization (section 2 and 3). A main point is that digitalization is...
