(Master thesis, 2024)Denne avhandlinga tek utgangspunkt i det å ha lokal tekstiltradisjon som inngang til eige skapande arbeid. Undersøkinga byggjer på ulike sider ved kulturarvforståing og handlar om å synleggjere delar av den immaterielle ... -
A Simultaneous and Continuous Excitation Method for High-Speed Electrical Impedance Tomography with Reduced Transients and Noise Sensitivity.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This paper presents a concept for soft field tomographic scan of all the projections of electromagnetic waves emanating from an array of electrodes. Instead of the sequential excitation of all pairs of electrodes in the ... -
A solution method for one-dimensional shallow water equations using flux limiter centered scheme for open Venturi channels
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The one-dimensional shallow water equations were modified for a Venturi contraction and expansion in a rectangular open channel to achieve more accurate results than with the conventional one-dimensional shallow water ... -
A spherical-plot solution to linking acceleration metrics with animal performance, state, behaviour and lifestyle
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Background: We are increasingly using recording devices with multiple sensors operating at high frequencies to produce large volumes of data which are problematic to interpret. A particularly challenging example comes from ... -
A STAMP and HFACS-MA Analysis of the Sanchi Oil Tanker Disaster: Lessons Learned and Ways Forward
(Master thesis, 2021)The merchant shipping industry – carrying around 90% of the world’s trade – has been considered as one of the most international and important industries of the world. It has also been considered as a high-risk industry ... -
A Study into Academic, Social, and Professional Integration of Bangladeshi International students at USN in Light of the Theory of Multicultural Education by Banks
(Master thesis, 2021)Norwegian Universities are welcoming an increasing number of international students in recent years (SIU, 2016, P.11, Norway Today, April 30, 2021). However, they face integration issues, particularly in respect of social ... -
A study of Anisotropic Conductive Adhesives with Novel Spacer Particles
(Master thesis, 2016)A method for quantitative evaluation of particle distribution, which includes clusterization and dispersion, is developed. Clusterization parameter C and dispersion parameter D were measured by statistical calculation of ... -
A Study of Mass Transfer Kinetics of Carbon Dioxide in (Monoethanolamine + Water) by Stirred Cell
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-08-05)The gas phase resistance in a stirred cell was investigated to understand and avoid its influence on the measurement of the reaction kinetics. To validate the influence of gas phase resistance and the experimental conditions ... -
A Study of the Effect of Relative Permeability and Residual Oil Saturation on Oil Recovery
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-25)The depletion of oil production and the low recovery rate are the major challenges faced in oil production. Several studies have shown that considerable amount of oil still remains in the reservoir after the well shutdown. ... -
A study of the wartime experiences of twenty naval veterans: The reality of the war at sea for the men of the Royal Norwegian navy during the second world war
(Master thesis, 2023)Denne tesen tar utgangspunktet i 20 intervjuer tatt av Horten marinemuseum for å svare på spørsmålet som er nemlig, hva mennene intervjuet så på som de mest betydelige aspektene av sine krigserfaringene i den Kongelig ... -
A study on Masterbulk's four P-class vessels : how does eco-assistant affect fuel consumption and CO₂ emission?
(Master thesis, 2013)This is a research study, conducted to investigate how optimal trim affects the Singapore-based company Masterbulk’s four P-class vessels. The software implemented on the four vessels is ECO-Assistant, provided by Germanischer ... -
A Sustainable Methanol Ship Fuel Supply Chain for the Maritime Industry: Developing a Framework through a Systematic Literature Review Exploring the Technological, Economic, and Regulatory Challenges for a Sustainable Methanol Ship Fuel Supply Chain (SMSFSC)
(Master thesis, 2023)The maritime industry faces increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adopt sustainable fuel alternatives. Methanol has emerged as a promising candidate due to its low emissions profile, compatibility with ... -
A Systematic Review of Intuition – A way of knowing in clinical nursing?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The aim of this systematic review was to illuminate intuition in clinical nursing. Frequently described as a defining characteristic of professional expertise, intuition is gaining acceptance as a legitimate form of knowledge ... -
A systems biology approach to integrated molecular analysis in pancreatic and periampullary adenocarcinoma
(Doctoral dissertations at the University College of Southeast Norway;2, Doctoral thesis, 2016-04-13)Pancreatic and periampullary adenocarcinoma (PA) is a highly lethal disease, for which the mortality rate closely parallels the incidence rate. Most of the PA patients remain asymptomatic until the disease reaches an ... -
A systems theory perspective on the relationship between practice and research in the making disciplines
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)This article discusses the relationship between practice and research in the making disciplines. The discussion is based on a systems theory with reference to the German sociologist Niklas Luhmann (2007) and the way ... -
