Arbeidet analyserer tilgjengelig søk og redningskapasitet (SAR), med fokus på søk, med sikte på å avdekke forbedringspunkter. Arbeidet er begrenset til Norges ansvarsområde i henhold til Arktisk råds avtale om søk og redning i Arktis. Redningshelikopter på SAR beredskap består av 2 AS332L1 AWSAR på Svalbard, et Sea King på Banak og et i Bodø. I tillegg har Bristow et EC225 AWSAR helikopter i Hammerfest. ...

In the framework of the CERN Large Hadron Collider Injectors Upgrade (LIU) Project, the Proton Synchrotron (PS) has been equipped with two new movable Internal Dumps (PSID), each of them capable of absorbing particle beams of an energy of up to 100 kJ. These dumps replace the old Internal Dumps, which have been operated in the accelerator complex since their installation in 1975 until their ...

Automatic ice charting cannot be achieved using only SAR modalities. It is fundamental to combine information from other remote sensors with different characteristics for more reliable sea ice characterization. In this paper, we employ principal feature analysis (PFA) to select significant information from multimodal remote sensing data. PFA is a simple yet very effective approach that can be applied ...

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have become the de-facto standard in computer vision, as well as in many other pattern recognition tasks. A key drawback of DNNs is that the training phase can be very computationally expensive. Organizations or individuals that cannot afford purchasing state-of-the-art hardware or tapping into cloud hosted infrastructures may face a long waiting time before the training ...

The in vitro fertilization procedure called intracytoplasmic sperm injection can be used to help fertilize an egg by injecting a single sperm cell directly into the cytoplasm of the egg. In order to evaluate, refine and improve the method in the fertility clinic, the procedure is usually observed at the clinic. Alternatively, a video of the procedure can be examined and labeled in a time-consuming ...

In this paper, we present an algorithm for automatically detecting events in soccer videos using 3D convolutional neural networks. The algorithm uses a sliding window approach to scan over a given video to detect events such as goals, yellow/red cards, and player substitutions. We test the method on three different datasets from SoccerNet, the Swedish Allsvenskan, and the Norwegian Eliteserien. ...

An overview of integrating two energy efficient and emission reduction technologies to improve ship energy efficiency under advanced data analytics is presented in this study. The proposed technologies consist of developing engine and propulsion innovations that will be experimented under laboratory conditions and large-model-scale sea trials, respectively. These experiments will collect large ...

The efficacy and controls governing glacial erosion over geological timescales are intricately linked yet remain poorly understood and contended. By assimilating geophysical data with modelling of the Eurasian Ice Sheet - the third largest Quaternary ice mass that spanned 49°N - 82°N - we decipher its erosional footprint during the last ~110 ka glacial cycle. Our results demonstrate extreme ...

A large fraction of the electronic health records (EHRs) consists of clinical measurements collected over time, such as lab tests and vital signs, which provide important information about a patient’s health status. These sequences of clinical measurements are naturally represented as time series, characterized by multiple variables and large amounts of missing data, which complicate the analysis. ...

Albite-spodumene pegmatites, which are remarkable resources of Li worldwide, may experience both magmatic-hydrothermal transition and sub-solidus hydrothermal alteration during their formation and evolution. However, fluids involved in the different stages of the evolution of a spodumene-bearing pegmatitic systems are not well defined, especially at the magmatic-hydrothermal transition stage. In the ...
