Patients being admitted to a hospital will most often be associated with a certain clinical development during their stay. However, there is always a risk of patients being subject to the wrong diagnosis or to a certain treatment not pertaining to the desired effect, potentially leading to adverse events. Thus, there is a need to develop an anomaly detection system for deviations from expected ...

Supervised methods for Visual Grounding often require costly annotations of paired sentences and images with ground truth boxes. Recent zero-shot approaches to visual grounding such as ReCLIP and ChatRef aim to avoid the need for costly annotation of paired sentences and images with ground truth boxes. However, these approaches leverage an inflexible detect-then-reasoning paradigm, which leads to a ...

Pelagic fishing is one of the primary economic activities in the Arctic, especially in the Barents Sea region. Optimizing fishing vessel voyage planning is a feasible avenue for enhancing efficiency, profitability, and sustainability while mitigating accidental risks posed by adverse weather conditions and reducing environmental impact through decreased fuel consumption. Currently, fishing voyage ...

AC microgrids play a crucial role in integrating distributed energy resources and facilitating localized power management in contemporary power networks. Nevertheless, conventional droop control methods in these microgrids have constraints in guaranteeing precise power distribution, stability of voltage/frequency, and flexibility in response to changing operating conditions. This study introduces ...

The Svalbard archipelago at the border of the Arctic Ocean experiences substantial glacier retreat due to global warming, resulting in a retreat of glacier termini from the marine to terrestrial settings. However, the impact of these transitions on marine environments remains poorly understood. To improve our understanding of how Arctic Svalbard responds to fluctuations in climate and glaciers, we ...

Cold seeps and cold-water corals (CWCs) coexist on Northern Norway's continental shelf at the Hola trough between Lofoten and Vesterålen. Here, cold seeps release methane from the seabed, yet none reaches the sea surface. Instead, the methane dissolves and disperses in the ocean where it is ultimately consumed by methane-oxidizing microorganisms. These microorganisms metabolize methane and release ...

The effective implementation of preparedness and response strategies toward climate change resilience has evolved into a technical, sociopolitical, and communication issue. We argue that, for climate communication to effectively contribute to community resilience, it demands meaningful dialogue and engagement to facilitate understanding. Using the risk communication theory, we assessed the impact ...

Density functional perturbation theory (DFPT) is a well-established method to study responses of molecules and solids, especially responses to atomic displacements or to different perturbing fields (electric, magnetic). Like for density functional theory (DFT), the treatment of metals is delicate, due to the Fermi-Dirac (FD) statistics and electronic bands crossing the Fermi energy. At zero temperature, ...

The development of sensitive dopamine (DA) sensors has significantly contributed to our understanding of DA-related disorders and has enabled advancements in medical diagnostics and neuroscience research. Therefore, in the present work, a novel electrochemical sensing platform was developed using multi-layer graphene arrays (MGA) modified electrodes for the selective detection of DA. The preparation ...

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 ...
