Large timber buildings are increasingly used in the Nordic countries because of low greenhouse gas emissions and good access to timber. There is however uncertainty about the airtightness of the envelope of such buildings over time because of the possible timber’s shrinking and swelling, in...

Cyber-physical systems (CPS)/lntemet of Things (IoT) are omnipresent in many industrial sectors and application domains in which the quality of the data acquired and used for decision support is a common factor. Because of things like sensor failures and defects brought on by working in harsh and...

In the oil and gas industry, pulse echo measurements have for decades been used in cased holes to estimate the properties of the materials on the outside of the pipe. To investigate the methods used to analyse pulse echo measurements from pipes, we use numerical modelling in COMSOL Multiphysics...

Det råder en viss forskjell mellom norske myndigheters (SFTs) og EUs tolkning av energiutnyttelse, energiut¬nyttelsesgrad og energieffektivitet for avfalls¬forbrenningsanlegg. Dessuten er det en viss usikkerhet blant forbren-ningsanleggene i Norge med hensyn til definisjon av disse begrepene. Avfall...

I forskningsprosjektet aCOM, er det fra industrideltagerne framsatt ønske om å kartlegge SO₂ utslipp fra avfallsforbrenning, hvis avfallet inneholder gips. Innledende forsøk (TR F6615) viste at gips ble spaltet ved en mye lavere temperatur enn hva som er beskrevet i teorien (~1100 °C), og at ved...

Understanding what attributes or characteristics of those delivering interventions affect intervention fidelity and patient outcomes is important for contextualising intervention effectiveness. It may also inform implementation of interventions in future research and clinical practice. This study...

The paper considers the problem of formation path-following of multiple vehicles and proposes a solution based on combining distributed model predictive control with parametrizations of the trajectories of the vehicles using polynomial splines. Introducing such parametrization leads indeed to two...
