Improved Multiphase Flow Performance Using AICV and its Potential Impact on Reservoir Recovery
(Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;198, Doctoral thesis, 2024-06-14)The global energy demand is growing, and oil and gas supply and consumption will evolve in the coming years. It is important to maintain the current oil production to meet the global energy demand. A major challenge in oil ... -
Improved oil recovery and the study of CO₂ storage in oil/gas reservoirs and aquifers
(Master thesis, 2016)As the world’s energy needs grow, several techniques have been introduced for an improved oil recovery (IOR) and secured storage of CO₂. Such techniques include the use of water injection, CO₂ for Enhanced Oil Recovery ... -
Improved Oil Recovery through Advanced Control
(Master thesis, 2021)Norway is one of the major suppliers of oil and gas to the world market. Revenues from sales of oil and gas have played an important role in building modern Norwegian society. Oil and gas are trapped in the subsurface ... -
Improved packaging techniques for LWIR microbolometers
(Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;164, Doctoral thesis, 2023)A new generation of Infrared (IR) camera sensors, based on MicroBolometer Arrays (MBA) has been developed. This technology is lower cost and has no need for active cooling, unlike the previous generation. It, therefore, ... -
Improved quality factor on lamb wave resonators using a phononic crystal structure array
(Master thesis, 2023)This thesis explores the possibility of increasing the quality factor of a lamb wave resonator device with the use of a phononic crystal structure array on the surface of the bridge suspending the device. In the growing ... -
Improved resolution Fourier ptychography scheme using oil-filled dome-shaped LED array
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Utilising angular-varied illumination in Fourier Ptychography, the resolution of optical microscopes can be increased and the phase of the sample can also be recovered while maintaining a wide field-of-view. In this work, ... -
Improved work ability and return to work following vocational multidisciplinary rehabilitation of subjects on long-term sick leave
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2007)Objective: To evaluate a vocational multidisciplinary rehabilitation programme for patients on long-term sick leave with respect to their work ability and return to work. Methods: A multidisciplinary rehabilitation ... -
Improvement areas for e-learning.
(Master thesis, 2018)E-learning is a different way of transferring knowledge in where the traditional classroom has been replaced by a computer screen and the traditional instructor has been replaced by plain text, often supported by voice, ... -
Improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index Score predicts improvement in skin pain over time in patients with psoriasis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Pain and discomfort are common and often severe skin symptoms in patients with psoriasis. However, no studies have investigated skin pain and discomfort over time, or factors that explain changes in these symptoms. The ... -
Improvement in refractive precision for intraocular lens power calculations in patients with a history of laser vision correction for myopia
(Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;99, Doctoral thesis, 2021-05-28)In Cataract surgery and refractive lens exchange (RLE) planning, calculations of intraocular lens (IOL) power depend on, at a minimum, the measurement of corneal curvature and the axial length of the eye. In patients without ... -
Improvement of onboard crew safety by applying personal tracking and monitoring technologies
(Master thesis, 2019)This study deals with the improvement of onboard safety through personal tracking and monitoring technologies. It focusses on the relationship between safety, reporting (formal and informal) and monitoring of the crew, and ... -
Improvement of the Frequency Response Indicators by Optimal UFLS Scheme Settings
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This research investigates the positive changes in the system frequency response indicators caused by the implementation of a set of optimal settings of an under-frequency load shedding (UFLS) scheme. The optimal under-frequency ... -
