In industry 4.0 manufacturing, sensors provide information about the state, behavior, and performance of processes. Therefore, one of the main goals of Industry 4.0 is to collect high-quality data to realize its business goal, namely zero-defect manufacturing, and high-quality products. However, hardware sensors cannot always gather quality data due to several factors. First, industrial 4.0 deploys ...

Calving of icebergs at the tidewater glacier fronts is a component of the mass loss in Polar regions. Studying the regional distribution of icebergs, their volume, motion, and interaction with the environment is of interest. Here, we present the results from a fieldwork campaign conducted in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard in April 2016, where both satellite and ground-based remote sensing instruments were ...

Varmeterapi (hypertermi) er en ny behandlingsmetode for krefttyper som ligger overfladisk plassert i kroppen. Prinsippet består i å varme opp vev til en temperatur på 42-45 ̊C, noe som øker raten for celledød i vevet. En multilags likeformet applikator er utviklet spesielt for dette formålet. En av bestanddelene i denne applikatoren er vannbolusen. Dens hensikt er å sørge for kontrollert temperatur ...

Optical microscopes today have pushed the limits of speed, quality, and observable space in biological specimens revolutionizing how we view life today. Further, specific labeling of samples for imaging has provided insight into how life functions. This enabled label-based microscopy to percolate and integrate into mainstream life science research. However, the use of labelfree microscopy has been ...

Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy is a widely employed technique in cell biology research, yet remains relatively unexplored in the field of histopathology. Here, we describe the sample preparation steps and acquisition parameters necessary to obtain fluorescent multicolor super-resolution structured illumination microscopy (SIM) images of both formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded and cryo-preserved ...

Stengte veger på grunn av snøskred eller fare for snøskred utgjør ca. 55% av all registrert vegstengning langs norske veger. En økende sammenknytning av landsdelene stiller stadig større krav til framkommelighet og fleksibilitet. Tidligere har det vært opp til hvert enkelt vegprosjekt å bestemme en akseptabel risiko for skredhendelser på veg. Statens Vegvesen ønsker å utvikle en modell for risikoaksept ...

Large fields of view (FOVs) in total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM) via waveguides have been shown to be highly beneficial for single molecule localisation microscopy on fixed cells [1,2] and have also been demonstrated for short‐term live‐imaging of robust cell types [3‐5], but not yet for delicate primary neurons nor over extended periods of time. Here, we present a waveguide‐based ...

Ship icing may lead the ship and crew in great jeopardy. Usually, predictions of such ice build-up are based on the modelling of the heat fluxes capable of freezing sea water originated from wave-ship interactions. This study, on the other hand, follows a different and more general approach by investigating the relationship between the weather situation and icing both using observed parameters from ...

For the third time in a decade, solar energy pricing records are tumbling in the Persian Gulf. As each previous wave of new records was met with incredulity, only for these prices to become the new normal around the world within a few years, it would be unwise to once again dismiss low prices as unrepresentative outliers. In this study, we show how local conditions and global macroeconomic factors ...
