Dual Control System for Virtual Protection of a Remote UAV Experiment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)The topic of this paper is the utilisation of a strategy with a dual control system for the prevention of damage on laboratory equipment used in a remote laboratory. One control system is implemented before the laboratory ... -
Experiment Setup for Focused Learning in Advanced Servo Control of DC-Motors
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Remote laboratories are normally developed for giving students and others remote access to physical laboratory facilities. In contradiction to this, the main objective of the setup presented in this paper is to create a ... -
Increasing the competitiveness of e-vehicles in Europe
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Introduction This paper is concerned with incentives for the take-up and use of e-vehicles that are in place in different European countries. Especially, it analyses Norway and Austria, in order to establish and understand ... -
Introduction to Non Commutative Algebraic Geometry
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Ordinary commutative algebraic geometry is based on commutative polynomial algebras over an algebraically closed field k. Here we make a natural generalization to matrix polynomial k-algebras which are non-commutative ... -
Physical Interpretation of Noncommutative Algebraic Varieties
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)The theory of algebraic varieties gives an algebraic interpretation of differential geometry, thus of our physical world. To treat, among other physical properties, the theory of entanglement, we need to generalize the ... -
Thinking Tracks for Multidisciplinary System Design
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Systems engineering is, for a large part, a process description of how to bring new systems to existence. It is valuable as it directs the development effort. Tools exist that can be used in this process. System analysis ... -
Critical Factors Influencing Viability of Wave Energy Converters in Off-Grid Luxury Resorts and Small Utilities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Abstract: This paper examines technical and non-technical factors that are critical to the viability of commercialization of wave energy converters in off-grid luxury resorts and small utilities. Critical factors are found ... -
Bearings-only aerial shooter localization using a microphone array mounted on a drone
(Journal article, 2017)Estimating the direction of arrival (DoA) of an audio signal from an aerial platform gives way to estimating the localization of the source. This paper addresses the problem of airborne shooter localization using an array ... -
Cause and Impact Analysis of Cost and Schedule Overruns in Subsea Oil and Gas Projects – A Supplier’s Perspective
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Abstract. This paper identifies drivers for cost and schedule overruns in subsea production system projects from a supplier’s point of view. Subsea Production Systems connects subsea wells to offshore vessels, and enable ... -
Video production - mathematics for beginner students
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Beginner student courses in mathematics in higher education have had high failure rates across the country. A national study [1] conducted by the Norwegian Association of Higher education Institutions (UHR) in 2013 showed ... -
Software Tool for Semantic Resources Allocation in Humanitarian Crises
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2017)Resource Allocation (RAlloc) is one of the most important tasks in organizing humanitarian response to humanitarian crises. It is not only that adequate and efficient RAlloc save lives and reduce damages caused by humanitarian ... -
Analysis of ZIKA Virus Tweets: Could Hadoop Platform Help in Global Health Management?
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2017)This paper investigates possibilities of enhancing everyday decision making in global health management, by looking at the power of twitter data and the use of big data platforms in order to collect and interpret excessive ... -
Personalizing Drug Administration to Patients with Parkinson’s Disease: Manipulating Sensor Generated Data in Android Environments
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2017)This paper illustrates the application of mobile and wireless technologies for estimating the severity of Parkinson Disease symptoms, and performing a personalized drug administration to PD patients. The measurements of ... -
The Level of Automation in Emergency Quick Disconnect Decision Making
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)As a key measure for safety and environmental protection during offshore well operations, drill rigs are equipped with Emergency Quick Disconnect (EQD) systems. However, an EQD operation is in itself considered a risky ... -
Bridging the Gap Between Bio-inspired Steering and Locomotion: a Braitenberg Snake Robot
(Chapter, 2018)Braitenberg vehicles are simple models of animal motion towards, or away from, a stimulus (light, sound, chemicals, etc). They have been widely used in robotics to implement target reaching and avoidance behaviors based ... -
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 ... -
