Dagens energibehov øker i en slik takt at bruk av alternative biobrensler i biomasse kraft-varme anlegg i økende grad blir nødvendig for å oppnå kostnadseffektivitet. Disse alternative biobrenslene byr ofte på problemer på grunn av deres lavere brenselkvalitet sammenlignet med f.eks. flis. Den...
Large-scale agile development has gained widespread interest in the software industry, but it is a topic with few empirical studies of practice. Development projects at scale introduce a range of new challenges in managing a large number of people and teams, often with high uncertainty about product...
Purpose: To compare performance, physiological and biomechanical responses between double poling (DP) and diagonal stride (DIA) during treadmill roller skiing in elite male cross-country skiers. Method: Twelve skiers (VO2peak DIAup; 74.7 ± 3.7 ml kg−1 min−1) performed two DP conditions at 1° (DPflat...
Prompt-based language models have produced encouraging results in numerous applications, including Named Entity Recognition (NER) tasks. NER aims to identify entities in a sentence and provide their types. However, the strong performance of most available NER approaches is heavily dependent on the...
Early detection of gas influx in boreholes while drilling is of significant interest to drilling operators. Several studies suggest a good correlation between ultrasound backscatter/attenuation and gas volume fraction (GVF) in drilling muds, and thereby propose methods for quantification of GVF in...
Denne rapporten har med utgangspunkt i ElMar-prosjektets fem casestudier samlet erfaringer fra planlegging, etablering, drift og bruk av landstrømsanlegg. Erfaringene kommer fra flere aktører (havner, nettselskap, landstrømstilbydere og rederi), og gir viktig informasjon til nye havner og aktører om...
Designing games for learning in the workplace is challenging in many ways. Within the process industry, the aluminium production cells are harsh environments that are difficult to instrument and pose domain related challenges, which make effective training difficult to achieve. In particular...
Background: Bronchoscopy for peripheral lung lesions may involve image sources such as computed tomography (CT), fluoroscopy, radial endobronchial ultrasound (R-EBUS), and virtual/electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy. Our objective was to evaluate the feasibility of replacing these multiple...
Objective: Pre-clinical trials have obtained promising results that focused ultrasound (FUS) combined with microbubbles (MBs) increases tumor uptake and the therapeutic effect of drugs. The aims of the study described here were to investigate whether FUS and MBs could improve the effect of...
