    • Vertical nitrate fluxes in the Arctic Ocean 

      Randelhoff, Achim (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2017-03-16)
      Upward mixing of remineralized nutrients is essential for photosynthesis in the upper ocean. Weak vertical mixing, which restricts nutrient supply, and sea ice, which leads to low light levels, conspire to severely inhibit marine primary productivity in the Arctic Ocean. However, little has been known about their relative contributions. No large-scale quantitative estimates of the vertical nutrient ...

    • Vibrational spectroscopy beyond the harmonic approximation with the Polarizable Embedding model 

      Dundas, Karen Oda Hjorth Minde (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-02-23)
      In order to efficiently and accurately calculate vibrational properties for solvated systems, a theoretical framework for combining response theory with the Polarizable Embedding model (PE) has been derived and implemented, and is presented in this thesis. An open-ended recursive formalism is utilized through the implementation in OpenRSP, allowing energy-derivatives to be calculated analytically ...

    • Water and heat transfer in cement based materials 

      Nguyen, Hung Thanh (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2011-06-17)
      For the mass transfer case (the absorption of moisture-water into concrete), the water content in concrete has a significant impact on its mechanical properties. Moisture transport in porous media, for example, plays an important role in the degradation of building materials such as mortars and concrete. LWE ignores the complex pore structure and network, typically found in cement materials. Many ...

    • Wave damping and momentum transfer. Manifestation of momentum transfer in case of ocean surface waves being damped by an elastic film or a viscous layer 

      Foss, Marianne (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2001-02-28)
      Virkninga av å ha et bølgedempende overflatemateriale i ei havoverflate er studert, med særlig vekt på betydninga av strålingstrykket (-stresset) eller bølgetrykket fra et innfallende, udempet bølgefelt. Det er et teoretisk studium av den dynamiske prosess som foregår når udempede overflatebølger propagerer inn i et område med bølgedempende overflatesjikt, i lys av det bølgetrykk bølgene øver på ...

    • Waveguide Mach-Zehnder interferometer for measurement of methane dissolved in water 

      Lindecrantz, Susan M. (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2016-04-25)
      In this dissertation, we present the development of a novel, compact and highly sensitive waveguide Mach-Zehnder interferometer to measure methane dissolved in water. Methane is a greenhouse gas, like carbon dioxide, and is emitted from both natural sources and human activities. Due to the challenges to measure dissolved methane in the sea and the vast area it covers, much of the methane cycle is ...

    • Waveguide-based Excitation for High-throughput Imaging 

      Coucheron, David Andre (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-03-24)
      Chip–based fluorescence imaging is an emerging field where the fluorophores in a sample are excited by the evanescent field generated by waveguides. The aim of this thesis is to explore how waveguide–based excitation can benefit super–resolution optical microscopy, as well as investigate other imaging and spectroscopic applications which can benefit from the same platform. For all imaging and ...

    • Web-Based Surgical Telementoring. Service design and evaluation of the key features. 

      Budrionis, Andrius (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2015-10-13)
      This thesis provides a detailed outlook on research in telementoring, identifying the fundamental limitations hindering its smooth integration into clinical practice. The findings are based on literature reviews and user involvement, minimizing the gap between research and actual use of the system. To address the identified shortcomings, a service-oriented approach to clinical VC systems was proposed. ...

    • What are the characteristics of mathematical creativity? An empirical and theoretical investigation of mathematical creativity. 

      Haavold, Per Øystein (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2013-12-17)
      The main research question in this research project was "what are the characteristics of mathematical creativity?" It was investigated both qualitatively and quantitatively and the findings are presented in four articles. In the first article, three high achieving students were given an unfamiliar trigonometric problem. The findings indicate strongly that the student’s way of thinking is strongly ...

    • Wind Energy at Nygårdsfjellet – Norway. Wind field characterization and modelling 

      Bilal, Muhammad (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2016-11-25)
      The research focuses on the characterization of wind flow over complex terrain of Nygårdsfjell and numerical wind flow modelling. In the context to research focus, the main contributions of this research thesis are within the following areas: Characterization of wind flow at the Nygårdsfjell wind farm, situated in the arctic circle in Norway. Wind data is collected from the anemometers installed on ...
