Explainable AI (XAI) has received growing attention the last years due to the growth of more sophisticated machine learning models. These modern models are often complex, and their internal workings are often challenging to explain, fuelling the interest in terms like explainability...
Autonomous urban passenger ferries are emerging as an efficient solution for public transportation, allowing operators to supervise multiple vessels from a Remote Operation Centre (ROC). A recent milestone demonstrated the remote operation of MF Estelle, the world's first commercial autonomous ferry...
The launch of MF Estelle, the world’s first commercial autonomous passenger ferry, in Stockholm in 2023 has accelerated the need to establish a Remote Operation Centre (ROC) to manage multiple vessels with fewer human supervisors, reducing operational costs. This transition, by technological...
The growing use of high-energy lithium-ion batteries for energy storage raises fire safety concerns, especially under high charge/discharge rates or external heating. This work presents an experimental investigation of different heating rates into the thermal runaway behavior of two large cell...
De fleste numeriske likevektsmodeller er deterministiske mens den økonomien de skal beskrive er preget av mange typer usikkerhet. Vi presenterer en metode for å transformere en eksisterende modell for energimarkedene i Vest-Euorpa uten stokastikk til en modell med stokastikk. Modellen benyttes til å...
Reliability databases for hydrogen equipment are essential for risk and reliability assessments of both established and new hydrogen facilities. Existing hydrogen event databases have significant limitations with respect to quantity and quality of data, hence providing limited value for rigorous...
This life cycle assessment study evaluates the environmental performance of aviation fuels produced from two perennial grasses, switchgrass and miscanthus, grown on abandoned European cropland with and without irrigation. The system boundaries include the conversion of biomass to jet fuel via two...
Ved hjelp av aktsomhetskart og skadeberegninger analyseres flomrisiko som følge klimaendringer for Trondheim Spektrum i et hydrologisk og samfunnsøkonomisk perspektiv. Trondheim Spektrum er en arena for sport, næringsliv og kultur, plassert på Øya i Trondheim nær Nidelva. Spektrum sin plassering...
Despite many preventive measures introduced to reduce accidents in the Norwegian construction industry the last decade, accident rates (fatal and non-fatal) have been relatively stable. The main purpose of this study was to identify and suggest key topics and recommendations to significantly reduce...
Background There is a need for analytical techniques for measuring Erosive Tooth Wear (ETW) on natural surfaces in clinical studies. The purpose was to investigate the use of two instruments aimed to assess initial to more advanced stages of ETW. Methods Human premolar enamel samples (2x3mm...
A pH drop during the inflammatory phase during bone regeneration can cause corrosion in TiO2 bone scaffolds and the loss of compressive strength. Corrosion as ion leaching and dissolution is confined to grain boundaries. Cationic doping of TiO2 showed to increase the compressive strength but...
The deployment and operation of wind turbines can have a negative environmental impact on bird population. To preserve avian wildlife, several studies have been done to understand and reduce the risks of collisions between birds and wind turbines. This work proposes a novel control scheme for...
The envisioned role of hydrogen in the energy transition – or the concept of hydrogen economy – has varied through the years. While in the past hydrogen was mainly considered a clean fuel for cars and/or for electricity production, the current renewed interest stems from the versatility of hydrogen...
Bösartige KI-Agenten könnten laut Forschenden eine neue Phase im globalen Informationskrieg einläuten. Um das zu verhindern, wollen sie hart gegen die Schöpfer vorgehen....
Im Internet tobt ein erbitterter Informationskrieg. Nun heben KI-gesteuerte Chatbotnetze diesen auf ein neues Level und entfesseln das volle Potenzial digitaler Desinformation und Propaganda....
Water temperatures control life histories and diversity of aquatic species. Hydropower regulation, particularly in high head systems, alters natural water temperature regimes, which may have profound and long-term impacts on aquatic environments. Temperatures in by-pass sections and reaches affected...
