A Demonstration of 'Broken' Visual Space
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)It has long been assumed that there is a distorted mapping between real and ‘perceived’ space, based on demonstrations of systematic errors in judgements of slant, curvature, direction and separation. Here, we have applied ... -
A didactically motivated PLS prediction algorithm
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2001)The intention of this paper is to develop an easily understood PLS prediction algorithm, especially for the control community. The algorithm is based on an explicit latent variables model, and is otherwise a combination ... -
‘‘A fine balance’’ - how child welfare workers manage organizational changes within the Norwegian Welfare State
(Journal article, 2015-03-25)In 2004, the Child Welfare Reform (CWR) was introduced in Norway. One of the most important goals of the reform was to strengthen State level authority in public child welfare and establish equal child welfare services ... -
A four-dimensional time-space trend model to be applied in the reconstruction of former sea levels and ice-front recession
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 1997)The model is represented by a four-dimensional trend function giving the elevation of the sea level (Z) above the present one as a function of locality co-ordinates (x and y) and time co-ordinate (t). The function and an ... -
A gross assessment of the suitability of selected Scottish riparian habitats for beaver
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2000)In November 1998 we were shown a selection of riparian habitats in Scotland and asked to assess their suitability for beaver based on our experience in working with beaver elsewhere. Though many examples of good beaver ... -
A human-induced landscape of fear influences foraging behavior of brown bears
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Animals adapt their foraging behavior to variations in food availability and predation risk. In Sweden, brown bears (Ursus arctos) depend on a nearly continuous intake of berries, especially bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus) ... -
A Hybrid GIS Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Method for Flood Susceptibility Mapping at Shangyou, China
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Soil salinity caused by climate change associated with rising sea level is considered as one of the most severe natural hazards that has a negative effect on agricultural activities in the coastal areas in most tropical ... -
A microfluidic device for continuous sensing of systemic acute toxicants in drinking water
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)A bioluminescent-cell-based microfluidic device for sensing toxicants in drinking water was designed and fabricated. The system employed Vibrio fischeri cells as broad-spectrum sensors to monitor potential systemic cell ... -
A nearest integer solution to the longest run of randomly generated words
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)How rare is the event of observing more than a certain number of consecutive and identical letters of any kind somewhere in a randomly generated word? No one can deny that the use of generating functions is crucial for ... -
A Novel Ensemble Classifier of Rotation Forest and Naïve Bayer for Landslide Susceptibility Assessment at the Luc Yen District, Yen Bai Province (Viet Nam) Using GIS
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The objective of this study is to attempt a new soft computing approach for assessment of landslide susceptibility in the Luc Yen district, Yen Bai province (Viet Nam) using a novel classifier ensemble model of Naïve Bayes ... -
A Novel Hybrid Approach Based on Instance Based Learning Classifier and Rotation Forest Ensemble for Spatial Prediction of Rainfall-Induced Shallow Landslides Using GIS
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)This study proposes a novel hybrid machine learning approach for modeling of rainfall-induced shallow landslides. The proposed approach is a combination of an instance-based learning algorithm (k-NN) and Rotation Forest ... -
A Novel Intelligence Approach of a Sequential Minimal Optimization-Based Support Vector Machine for Landslide Susceptibility Mapping
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The main objective of this study is to propose a novel hybrid model of a sequential minimal optimization and support vector machine (SMOSVM) for accurate landslide susceptibility mapping. For this task, one of the landslide ... -
A Novel Process-Reaction Curve Method for Tuning PID Controllers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)A novel process-reaction curve method for tuning PID controllers for (possible) higher order processes/models is presented. The proposed method is similar to the Ziegler-Nichols process reaction curve method, viz. only the ... -
A paradigm shift in nurse specialist clinical supervision-implementation of a competence program
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The change of the anesthesia-, intensive-, surgery-, and oncological nursing postgraduate education into clinical-oriented master programs makes it necessary to increase the professional skills of nurse specialist clinical ... -
A participatory discourse analysis of service users’ accounts of meeting places in Norwegian community mental health care
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Since the 1960s, deinstitutionalisation has been salient in mental health reforms across the West. In Norway, this culminated in the National Action Plan for Mental Health (1999-2008), where meeting places in community ... -
