The global wave model WAVEWATCH III®; works well in open water. To simulate the propagation and attenuation of waves through ice-covered water, existing simulations have considered the influence of sea ice by adding the sea ice concentration in the wind wave module; however, they simply suppose that...
Denne rapporten er utarbeidet på oppdrag for Møre og Romsdal fylkeskommune som del av prosjektet Smartere Transport – Møre og Romsdal. Hovedmålet har vært å utrede et felles kontrollromskonspet for prosjektets brukercase – Pendelfergen i Kristiansund og den hurtiggående Langevågsbåten i Ålesund...
Ship designers face increasing pressure to comply with global emission reduction ambitions. Alternative fuels, potentially derived from bio-feedstock or renewable electricity, provide promising solutions to this problem. The main challenge is to identify a suitable ship power system, given not only...
The COVID-19 outbreak has admittedly caused interruptions to production, transportation, and mobility, therefore, having a significant impact on the global supply and demand chain’s well-functioning. But what happened to companies developing digital services, such as software? How has the enforced...
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly exposed to cyber risks. Some of the main reasons include budget constraints, the employees’ lack of cybersecurity awareness, cross-sectoral cyber risks, lack of security practices at organizational level, and so on. To equip SMEs with...
Background: Diagnosing multiple sclerosis (MS) can be a lengthy process, which can negatively affect psychological well-being, condition management, and future engagement with health services. Therefore, providing timely and appropriate emotional support may improve adjustment and health outcomes...
Purpose: To determine changes to people’s social contact during COVID-19, and whether reduced social contact was associated with changes to psychosocial wellbeing. Methods: Questionnaire data were collected from a sample of adult respondents (18 years or more) in two Norwegian counties participating...
Cooperative, connected, and automated mobility (CCAM) can lead to a significantly improved transport system by increasing safety and efficiency, and reducing emissions. To achieve the goal of fully automated mobility and self-driving vehicles, accurate and reliable positioning is essential...
A novel coalescence kernel with high predictive properties is constructed to be used within the population balance framework. The kernel includes the product of a collision frequency term and a novel binary coalescence probability expression. The probability expression employs critical velocity...
