A 2018 update on computer glasses for use at work in Norway
(Chapter, 2018)On a more or less biannual basis, for thirteen years, The Norwegian Association of Optometry has performed consumer surveys in Norway. Typically, approximately 1300 randomly selected Norwegians, at the age of 15 years ... -
A Bayesian framework based on a Gaussian mixture model and radial-basis-function Fisher discriminant analysis (BayGmmKda V1.1) for spatial prediction of floods
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)In this study, a probabilistic model,named as BayGmmKda, is proposed for flood susceptibility assessment in a study area in central Vietnam. The new model is a Bayesian framework constructed by a combination of a Gaussian ... -
A capacitive touch screen sensor for detection of urinary tract infections in portable biomedical devices
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Incidence of urinary tract infections (UTIs) is the second highest among all infections; thus, there is a high demand for bacteriuria detection. Escherichia coli are the main cause of UTIs, with microscopy methods and urine ... -
A Clover shaped silicon piezoresistive microphone for miniaturized photoacoustic gas sensors
(Chapter, 2009)Here we present the design and modeling of a novel piezoresistive microphone designed for a photoacoustic gas sensor system. The microphone is fabricated using a novel process to enable DRIE etch through of membranes of ... -
A comparison between a two feedback control loop and a reinforcement learning algorithm for compliant low-cost series elastic actuators
(Chapter, 2020)Highly-compliant elastic actuators have become progressively prominent over the last years for a variety of robotic applications. With remarkable shock tolerance, elastic actuators are appropriate for robots operating in ... -
A Critical Analysis of an Innovative Approach: A Case of Diversity in Norwegian Education
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)This article investigates an innovative approach that has as its aim to ensure that more students complete secondary education. The national program, called Competence for Diversity, puts emphasis on children with minority ... -
A cross-sectional study of experienced coercion in adolescent mental health inpatients
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background Involuntary care and coercive measures are frequently present in mental healthcare for adolescents. The purpose of this study was to examine to what extent adolescents perceive or experience coercion during ... -
A cross-sectional study on person-centred communication in the care of older people: the COMHOME study protocol
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)This paper presents an international cross-sectional study on person-centred communication with older people receiving healthcare (COMHOME). Person-centred care relies on effective communication, but few studies have ... -
A Decision support system (DSS) for municipal nurses encountering health deteroriation among older people
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Background: This study is part of a larger project called ViSam and includes testing of a decision support system developed and adapted for older people on the basis of M (R) ETTS (Rapid Emergency Triage and Treatment ... -
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 Mathematical Theory for Mixing of Particulate Materials
(Doctoral thesis, 2006)A theoretical framework for sampling theory is developed. In this relation, concepts like mixture heterogeneity and representative samples are mathematically defined. Further, the relation between Gy's concepts of accuracy ... -
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 ... -
