A review of the Norwegian plain language policy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)In this paper, we examine the policy documents that define the Nor-wegian policies on language use in the public sector, with an emphasis on how ICT is mentioned as a tool for creating a public sector language citizens ... -
A review of wearable technologies for elderly care that can accurately track indoor position, recognize physical activities and monitor vital signs in real time
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Rapid growth of the aged population has caused an immense increase in the demand for healthcare services. Generally, the elderly are more prone to health problems compared to other age groups. With effective monitoring and ... -
A Semi-empirical Approach Based on Genetic Programming for the Study of Biophysical Controls on Diameter-Growth of Fagus orientalis in Northern Iran
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This paper examines the possible ecological controls on the diameter increment of oriental beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) in a high altitude forest in northern Iran. The main objectives of the study are computer-generated ... -
A Semi-Heuristic Process-Reaction Curve PID Controller Tuning Method
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)A simple semi-heuristic method for designing PID controllers for time constant models are shown to be close to optimal. A Process-Reaction Curve method is proposed, composed by a method for approximating stable time constant ... -
A Sensor Fusion Algorithm for Filtering Pyrometer Measurement Noise in the Czochralski Crystallization Process
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)The Czochralski (CZ) crystallization process is used to produce monocrystalline silicon for solar cell wafers and electronics. Tight temperature control of the molten silicon is most important for achieving high crystal ... -
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 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 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 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 ... -
A test of the dear enemy phenomenon in the Eurasian beaver
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2002)We tested the hypothesis that Eurasian beavers, Castor fiber, display the dear enemy phenomenon; that is, they respond less aggressively to intrusions by their territorial neighbours than intrusions by nonterritorial ... -
A Variable Depth Search Algorithm for Binary Constraint Satisfaction Problems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)The constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is a popular used paradigm to model a wide spectrum of optimization problems in artificial intelligence. This paper presents a fast metaheuristic for solving binary constraint ... -
A Wearable Haptic System for the Health Monitoring of Elderly People in Smart Cities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)A sensor-fusion wearable health-monitoring system with integrated haptic feedback was previously introduced by our research group. The system's components are the following: a chest-worn device with an embedded controller ... -
A-endelser og lokal indeks blant ungdommer i flerspråklige miljøer i Oslo
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Artikkelen viser hvordan unge språkbrukere i flerspråklige miljøer i Oslo bruker tradisjonelle talemålstrekk som utrykk for lokal identitet og tilhørighet, og at lokale språktrekk også får ny og utvida betydning når de ... -
Abandoned ideas and the energies of failure
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Our academic life is ripe with failures and things abandoned, with hurt and feelings of defeat and despair. Already as students, we learn how to hide and tuck away such experiences and the impact they have on us. As a ... -
ABC og lesebok : noen sentrale trekk ved utviklingen av innholdet
(Journal article, 1992)Når vi betrakter historien og abc-er og lesebøker fra omkring 1780 og fram til omtrent 1980, kan vi grovt skille mellom tre faser i utviklingen. Pietisme og opplysning, 1870-1880. Lesestoff om Norge og arbeidsskolepedagogikk, ... -
