Integration of renewable energy and sustainable development with strategic planning in the mining industry
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-16)With an increase in the world population, the global demand for minerals is rising, increasing energy consumption. Due to the distance of mines from urban areas, the energy required for mining is highly dependent on fossil fuels. Using renewable energies is an effective solution to reducing this problem. This study examines the challenges and opportunities of integrating renewable energy into ... -
Demonstrating low Raman background in UV-written SiO2 waveguides
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-06)Raman spectroscopy can give a chemical ’fingerprint’ from both inorganic and organic samples, and has become a viable method of measuring the chemical composition of single biological particles. In parallel, integration of waveguides and microfluidics allows for the creation of miniaturized optical sensors in lab-on-a-chip devices.

Role of transfer functions in PSO to select diagnostic attributes for chronic disease prediction: An experimental study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-22)Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a classic and popularly used meta-heuristic algorithm in many reallife optimization problems due to its less computational complexity and simplicity. The binary version of PSO, known as BPSO, is used to solve binary optimization problems, such as feature selection. Like other meta-heuristic optimization techniques designed on the continuous search space, PSO ... -
Generalized Teleparallel de Sitter geometries
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-30)Theories of gravity based on teleparallel geometries are characterized by the torsion, which is a function of the coframe, derivatives of the coframe, and a zero curvature and metric compatible spin-connection. The appropriate notion of a symmetry in a teleparallel geometry is that of an affine symmetry. Due to the importance of the de Sitter geometry and Einstein spaces within General Relativity, ... -
A Multi-pronged Self-adaptive Controller for Analyzing Misconfigurations for Kubernetes Clusters and IoT Edge Devices
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2023-10-12)Kubernetes default configurations do not always provide optimal security and performance for all clusters and IoT edge devices deployed, making them vulnerable to security breaches and information leakage if misconfigured. Misconfiguration leads to a compromised system that disrupts the workload, allows access to system resources, and degrades the system’s performance. To provide optimal security ... -

(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2023-10-12)Kubernetes default configurations do not always provide optimal security and performance for all clusters and IoT edge devices deployed, affecting the scalability of a given workload and making them vulnerable to security breaches and information leakage if misconfigured. We present an adaptive controller to identify the type of misconfiguration and its consequence threat to optimize the system ... -
Diel and seasonal methane dynamics in the shallow and turbulent Wadden Sea
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-25)The Wadden Sea is a coastal system along the fringe of the land–sea borders of Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands. The Wadden Sea is extremely productive and influenced by strong variations in physical and biological forcing factors that act on timescales of hours to seasons. Productive coastal seas are known to dominate the ocean's methane emission to the atmosphere, but knowledge of controls and ... -
Geographical study of the stroke incidence and mortality rates using Bayesian analysis
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-09-21)There is large geographical variation in the stroke incidence rate worldwide. In addition, stroke is one of the diseases with highest mortality rate. In this thesis, our main focus is to examine if there are any geographical variation in stroke incidence and mortality rates in Norway. We approach this study using models within the Bayesian framework. Before performing analysis, we first introduce ... -
The Subglacial Lake That Wasn't There: Improved Interpretation From Seismic Data Reveals a Sediment Bedform at Isunnguata Sermia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-26)Radio Echo Sounding (RES) surveys conducted in May 2010 and April 2011 revealed a 2 km2 flat area with increased bed reflectivity at the base of Isunnguata Sermia at the western margin of the Greenland Ice Sheet. This flat reflector was located within a localized subglacial hydraulic potential (hydropotential) minimum, as part of a complex and elongated trough system. By analogy with comparable ... -

The relevant literature is analyzed according to a framework consisting of several questions related to the metaphysical notions of the author(s), ... -
ML-Peaks: Chip-seq peak detection pipeline using machine learning techniques
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-07-17)CHIP-Seq data is critical for identifying the locations where proteins bind to DNA, offering valuable insights into disease molecular mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets. However, identifying regions of protein binding, or peaks, in CHIP-seq data can be challenging due to limitations in peak detection methods. Current computational tools often require manual human inspection using data ... -

The poset of Specht ideals for hyperoctahedral groups
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023)Specht polynomials classically realize the irreducible representations of the symmetric group. The ideals defined by these polynomials provide a strong connection with the combinatorics of Young tableaux and have been intensively studied by several authors. We initiate similar investigations for the ideals defined by the Specht polynomials associated to the hyperoctahedral group <i>B<sub>n</sub></i>. ... -
The impact of safety factors on decision-making in maritime navigation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)Approximately 85% of maritime accidents are accounted for by navigation accidents, caused by human errors such as mistakes in impropriate decision-making. Decision-making skills are the key to safe sailing. However, the assessment of decisionmaking based on objective measurements is rarely studied. This paper aims to assess the impact of safety factors on decision-making in maritime navigation. ... -
Linear slices of Hyperbolic polynomials and positivity of symmetric polynomial functions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-17)A real univariate polynomial of degree n is called hyperbolic if all of its n roots are on the real line. Such polynomials appear quite naturally in different applications, for example, in combinatorics and optimization. The focus of this article is on families of hyperbolic polynomials which are determined through k linear conditions on the coefficients. The coefficients corresponding to such a ... -
Approximate Bayesian Inference Based on Expected Evaluations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-01)Approximate Bayesian computing (ABC) and Bayesian Synthetic likelihood (BSL) are two popular families of methods to evaluate the posterior distribution when the likelihood function is not available or tractable. For existing variants of ABC and BSL, the focus is usually first put on the simulation algorithm, and after that the form of the resulting approximate posterior distribution comes as a ... -

Mesospheric Dust - radar applications for detection and investigation
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2023-11-15)<p>Large amounts of meteoric particles ablate globally into the Earth’s atmosphere each day, and they interact with the atmosphere through several processes in the mesosphere and below. These processes include dust charging, where dust is expected to influence the charge balance in the D-region of the ionosphere. Consequently, the charged dust particles can influence the incoherent scatter that is ... -
