Improved indoor lighting improved healthy aging at home – an intervention study in 77-year-old Norwegians
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Introduction: Healthy aging and good quality of life is important to allow older people to live at home. Lighting is a significant environmental attribute promoting visual, physical, and mental health. Due to normal visual ... -
Improved model for solar heating of buildings
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-25)A considerable future increase in the global energy use is expected, and the effects of energy conversion on the climate are already observed. Future energy conversion should thus be based on resources that have negligible ... -
Improved Models for Predicting Bubble Velocity, Bubble Frequency and Bed Expansion in a Bubbling Fluidized Bed
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)An efficient design and operational control of a fluidized bed reactor relies on accurate prediction of bubble properties. This paper employs measurement of bed void fraction in determining the bubble velocity in a given ... -
Improved multi-stage cross-flow fluidized bed classifier
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)In the present work, improvements to a novel fluidized bed solids classification system previously published by Jayarathna et al. are discussed (Jayarathna et al., 2018 [1]). The system is designed for a high temperature ... -
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, ... -
