The invention of microscopy- and nanoscopy-based imaging technology opened up different research directions in life science. However, these technologies create the need for larger storage space, which has negative impacts on the environment. This scenario creates the need for storing such images in a memory-efficient way. Compact image representation (CIR) can solve the issue as it targets storing ...

Pigghå er en datafattig og rødlistet art som historisk har gitt grunnlag for et stort fiskeri med årlige landinger på mer enn 40 000 tonn i mer enn 40 år. Etter langvarig overfiske og etterfølgende bestandssammenbrudd har det nå i en del år vært tegn til vekst i bestanden. I 2020 tok Måløy videregående skole, som eier en autoline/garnbåt, kontakt med Havforskningsinstituttet og presenterte et ønske ...

Phone users around the world are enabling the creation of a space-weather monitor that will deepen our understanding of the physics governing Earth’s ionized upper atmosphere and improve the accuracy of satellite positioning.

Unsupervised representation learning has become an important ingredient of today’s deep learning systems. However, only a few methods exist that explain a learned vector embedding in the sense of providing information about which parts of an input are the most important for its representation. These methods generate the explanation for a given input after the model has been evaluated and tend to ...

Developing new diagnostic models based on the underlying biological mechanisms rather than subjective symptoms for psychiatric disorders is an emerging consensus. Recently, machine learning (ML)-based classifiers using functional connectivity (FC) for psychiatric disorders and healthy controls (HCs) are developed to identify brain markers. However, existing ML-based diagnostic models are prone to ...

The development of electricity storage solutions is crucial to support the integration of variable renewable electricity sources in electricity systems. This study experimentally characterizes a state-of-the-art full-scale electrical thermal energy storage (ETES) system in outdoor conditions. The system integrates a 600 kWh_th high-temperature latent heat storage module and a 13 kW_e ...

Higher penetration of renewable energy and increased electricity consumption makes delivering a reliable power supply a complex task. Power system operators are nevertheless required to provide a reliable power supply with a power quality within specified limits. Power quality events can cause malfunctioning of sensitive equipment for consumers in the distribution network. Communities in the periphery ...

Recent decline of sea ice in the Barents Sea represents a clear manifestation of the ongoing Arctic warming. This study presents a compilation of data sets on sea ice physics acquired during 2018–2022 during Nansen Legacy—a Norwegian multidisciplinary national research programme that focused on the northern Barents Sea. The data were acquired using a variety of methods such as sea ice coring, thickness ...

This paper presents the development of a single-shot, partially spatially coherent quantitative differential phase contrast microscopy (Q-DPCM) system. The optical scheme comprises a polarizer, lenses, calcite beam displacer, and analyzer, which can be seamlessly integrated to an existing bright-field microscopy system, transforming it into a Q-DPCM system. It utilizes a partially spatially coherent ...

Strain localization within crustal shear zones involves intricate feedback between deformation mechanisms, metamorphic reactions and fluid circulation. Despite evidence that these high-deformation zones proceed at least partly through dissolution-precipitation creep, available creep laws so far only account for dislocation creep and/ or solid-state diffusion processes. Deciphering the role and ...
