With the advance of cloud computing and centralization of data, a new effort goes entirely in the other direction and aims for decentralization of data through local-first software. Collaborative applications created this way need strong undo and redo support to handle the inevitable mistakes that take place in a collaborative setting. Local-first software can be effectively built using Conflict-Free ...

People with diabetes live a life of constant need to monitor and manage their illness. Unfortunately, a large number of people with diabetes suffer from diabetes-related distress and depression. A better diabetes consultation can directly impact the health of people with diabetes, both mentally and physically. In this thesis, healthcare practices that previous studies have reported lead to a ...

Modern technology has provided people with ease of living but at the same time has given birth to the problems of equally modern nature. For instance, high reliance on private transportation has resulted in unintended consequences such as high level of air pollution and congestion in urban cities. Another main disadvantage that is often overlooked is related to the rise of several noncommunicable ...

This project integrates various health parameters Temperature, Heart Rate, Pulse Rate, Blood Pressure, Respiration Rate, ECG, EMG, GSR, Spirometry values, Snore, Blood Sugar, Body Positions and Weight measured through wired and wireless sensors, into a standalone mobile health app. It shows Health Status of the user based on these parameters, and displays the values in different colors for normal ...

Energy storage is needed in Longyearbyen to enable a transition to local renewable energy sources. As heating accounts for more than half the energy use in Longyearbyen, affordable large-scale thermal storage is a good option. We investigate the opportunities for hot water, molten salt and hot rocks storage systems using a techno-economic optimisation model for the Longyearbyen energy system.

This report documents a workshop organised by the COGMAR and CRIMAC projects. The objective of the workshop was twofold. The first objective was to give an overview of ongoing work using machine learning for Acoustic Target Classification (ATC). Machine learning methods, and in particular deep learning models, are currently being used across a range of different fields, including ATC. The objective ...

Cold polar and mountainous periglacial environments are characterised by highly dynamic ground surfaces that move under the action of frost and gravity, and contribute to shaping the landscape. The movement rates and directions are spatially and temporally variable, depending on the involved periglacial processes and their environmental controlling factors. Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) ...

In marine basins, gas hydrate systems are usually identified by a bottom simulating reflection (BSR) that parallels the seafloor and coincides with the base of the gas hydrate stability zone (GHSZ). We present a newly discovered gas hydrate system, Moby-Dick, located in the Ship Basin in the northern Gulf of Mexico. In the seismic data, we observe a channel-levee complex with a consistent phase ...

In recent years, in-situ measurements on Kongsvegen, a surge-type glacier located in the Kongsfjorden area, have showed an acceleration in the flow speeds of the glacier. This could indicate the onset of a surging event, which presents the opportunity to study the dynamics of a glacier surge using remote sensing techniques with in-situ data for reference. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is well suited ...

Marine controlled source electromagnetic (CSEM) data have been utilized in the past decade during petroleum exploration of the Barents Shelf, particularly for de-risking the highly porous sandstone reservoirs of the Upper Triassic to Middle Jurassic Realgrunnen Subgroup. In this contribution we compare the resistivity response from CSEM data to resistivity from wireline logs in both water- and ...
