Free-ranging Eurasian beavers, Castor fiber, deposit anal gland secretion when scent marking
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 1998)Two adult free-ranging Eurasian Beavers (Castor fiber) were observed depositing anal gland secretion at the border of thei territory byeverting the "cloaca", protruding the anal gland openings and rubbing them against the ... -
Methods for live-trapping beaver (Castor spp.)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 1998)Effective live-trapping of beaver (Castor spp.) has been and will continue to be necessary for introductions, re-introductions, translocation for the preservation of populations, removal of nuisance beaver, and to obtain ... -
Comeback of the beaver Castor fiber : an overview of old and new conservation problems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 1998)Due to over-hunting c. 1200 Eurasian previous termbeaversnext term Castor fiber survived in eight relict populations in Europe and Asia at the beginning of the 20th century. Following hunting restrictions and translocation ... -
Scent-marking in the Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) as a means of territory defense
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 1998)Beaver (Castor spp.) normally scent mark by depositing castoreum and/or anal gland secretion on scent mounds close to the water's edge. The aim of this study was to investigate the hypothesis that the Eurasian beaver (C. ... -
Dynamic system multivariate calibration
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 1998)In the first part of the paper, the optimal estimator for normally nonmeasured primary outputs from a linear, time invariant and stable dynamic system is developed. The optimal estimator is based on all available information ... -
Pine marten, Martes martes, as an Eurasian beaver, Castor fiber, lodge occupant and possible predator
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 1998)We trapped three adult Eurasian Pine Martens (Martes martes) at an earlier trapped-out Eurasian Beaver (Castor fiber) lodge in southem Norway. At another site, Pine Marten feces containing remains of beaver claws and hair ... -
Project work as an integrating and revenue-making tool
(Conference report, 1998)The Engineering College at Høgskolen i Telemark has since 1982 practised cooperative learning as the model of promoting student learning. It has earlier been shown that the Telemark Model do enhance many aspects of learning ... -
From the industrial to the post-industrial society in 25 years - as seen by an engineering educator
(Conference report, 1998)Dieses Papier beschreibt und diskutiert kurz die Veränderung der Rahmen des Ingenieurpädagogens über dieletzten 25 Jahre. In 1973 hatten die Pädagogen eine stabile, doch vom Ministerium abhengige Arbeitssituation.Trotz ... -
On primary output estimation by use of secondary measurements as inputsignals in system identification
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 1999)In many cases, vital output variables in, e.g., industrial processes cannot be measured online. It is then of interest to estimate these primary variables from manipulated and measured inputs and the secondary output ... -
The impact of staged combustion on the operation of a precalciner cement kiln
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;1999:89, Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 1999)In this thesis, the impact of staged combustion on the operation of a precalciner cement kiln, is considered. Mathematical modelling and full-scale experiments at the Norcem cement works in Brevik, Norway, is the basis for ... -
Dynamic system multivariate calibration for optimal primary output estimation
(Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 1999)In industrial plants and other types of dynamic systems, it is a common situation that measurements of primary system outputs are not available on-line. The primary outputs may for example be quality properties, that can ... -
Use of anal gland secretion to distinguish the two beaver species Castor canadensis and C. fiber
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 1999)Introduced North American beavers Castor canadensis pose a potential threat to the continuing recovery of Eurasian beaver C. fiber populations in several European countries. For management purposes, it is necessary to be ... -
Mixture of term assignments, tutorials, laboratory assignments and problem based learning for masters degree in engineering: an alternative to traditional learning and examination forms
(Conference report, 1999)We look at a course as a process of continuous learning and assessment of knowledge transfer to the students. In this context, we use a mixture of term assignments, tutorials, laboratory assignments and Problem Based ... -
Landscape use and economic value of Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) on large forest in southeast Norway
(Conference report, 1999)Though numerous studies of damage caused by beaver (Castor canadensis and C. fiber) to commercially managed forests have been conducted, few have incorporated the economic advantages beaver can create for forest owners. ... -
Is engineering mathematics really an engineering tool?
(Conference report, 1999)A set of final exams at Telemark State University has been studied to check if there is a symbiotic relationship between the mathematical tool and some technical courses offered at the Electrical Engineering Department. ... -
Dynamic system multivariate calibration with low-sampling-rate y data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2000)When the data in principal component regression (PCR) or partial least squares regression (PLSR) form time series, it may be possible to improve the prediction/estimation results by utilizing the correlation between ... -
Responses of foraging Eurasian beavers Castor fiber to predator odours
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2000)The ability of Eurasian beavers Castor fiber to recognise different predator odours has received little research, nor has the use of predator odours to deter Eurasian beavers from damaging agricultural crops, fruit and ... -
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 ... -
Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber) behavioral response to simulated territorial intruders
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2000)Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber) live in family groups that defend territories against other conspecifics. Part of this territorial defence involves constructing scent mounds near the stream bank within territories and ... -
Lessons to be learned from industry/university cooperation on undergraduate project work
(Conference report, 2000)Experiments with cooperative learning started in 1976, and has since 1982 project work in groups has been the hallmark of the pedagogical approach at Hogskolen i Telemark. This paper examines some attributes of 18 senior ...
