    • Including patient-generated health data in electronic health records – a solution for CGM-data 

      Randine, Pietro; Pape-Haugaard, Louise; Hartvigsen, Gunnar; Årsand, Eirik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Patients with diabetes and health personnel do not have an optimal way of interacting. Health personnel must use multiple ICT systems, such as third-party companies’ services, to access health-related data from diverse vendors’ CGM platforms and Electronic Health Record (EHR). Furthermore, other health-related data like physical activities, quality of life or well-being is often discussed but ...

    • Increased scalability of the StormCast distributed application 

      Farsi, V. (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 1994-09)
      Scaling is recognized as a primary concern in developing distributed applications. Scaling problems occur when an application reach its upper boundary in some way or another. This paper describes the considerations made in the redesign of the StormCast distributed application to achieve more scalability. Naturally, there can be many factors that restrict a system's scalability. The challenge meeting ...

    • Increasing physical activity for individuals with intellectual disability through indoor bike cycling and exergaming 

      Berg, Valter (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-06-01)
      Studies reveal that individuals with intellectual disabilities have more sedentary lifestyles than the general population. Regular physical activity is of both medical and social importance, reducing risks of cardiovascular diseases and obesity. Health organizations recommend that everyone should at least engage in 150 minutes of physical activity each week because of the beneficial health effects. There ...

    • Incremental Information Retrieval. Finding new information by registering and ignoring already seen search results 

      Johannessen, Erlend (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-05-15)
      When searching the internet today we want immediate answers. We often search for a person, or a solution to a problem, or some topic we are interested in. The result quality of this kind of search is pretty good, most of the time we get the answers we need. The results, though, seems to be minor variations on the same results. But what if the search for information is of a different nature, more ...

    • Inexpensive Head Tracking for use with Large High-Resolution Displays 

      Simonsson, Carl Erik Joakim (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2010-06-01)
      This thesis investigates how head tracking can be implemented by using inexpensive off-the-shelf hardware for a 6 x 3 meter high-resolution display wall. The tracking system has been integrated into to an existing event system, Shout, that allows for inter-program communication. An application called htsim has been developed that is used for testing different head tracking configurations in a ...

    • Inferring image semantics from collection information 

      Thorvaldsen, Idar (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2009-02-06)
      There is a continuing desire and need for improving the processes of describing and searching for digital images. While good progress has been made adapting traditional information retrieval techniques to perform these tasks, processing images still presents a number of challenges not encountered when working with just text. This project implements a system allowing for the indexing and searching ...

    • Influence of Biosynthesized Nanoparticles Addition and Fibre Content on the Mechanical and Moisture Absorption Behaviour of Natural Fibre Composite 

      Lakshmaiya, Natrayan; Ganesan, Velmurugan; Paramasivam, Prabhu; Dhanasekaran, Seshathiri (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-19)
      This study looks at how incorporating nanofiller into sisal/flax-fibre-reinforced epoxy-based hybrid composites affects their mechanical and water absorption properties. The green Al2O3 NPs are generated from neem leaves in a proportion of leaf extract to an acceptable aluminium nitrate combination. Both natural fibres were treated with different proportions of NaOH to eliminate moisture absorption. ...

    • Integrating libpesto with subversion 

      Jakobsen, Oleg (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2007-06-15)
      Subversion, an open-source centralized version control system, developed by CoallabNet, is currently the second most popular version control system, after the ever popular CVS. Like CVS, Subversion uses a client-server architecture, but has a cleaner, modular architecture. One set of subversion modules, are the filesystem backends modules of subversion. Two ``official'' backends are currently ...

      The Norwegian healthcare sector is vast, with a substantial number of organizations employing plenty of people, and thereof, 7,300 are customers of Norsk Helsenett. Maintaining and keeping up-to-date information about access rights for these customers is a difficult, time-consuming, and manual task, especially since organizations often change personnel without notifying the system administrators. ...

    • Integration of solar latent heat storage towards optimal small-scale combined heat and power generation by Organic Rankine Cycle 

      Lizana, Jesus; Bordin, Chiara; Rajabloo, Talieh (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-16)
      Thermal energy and distributed electricity demand are continuously increased in areas poorly served by a centralized power grid. In many cases, the deployment of the electricity grid is not economically feasible. Small-scale Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) appears as a promising technology that can be operated by solar energy, providing combined heat and power (CHP) generation. Additionally, thermal ...

Oceanbox makes the model results accessible in a web application. New visualizations are needed to accommodate land-masking and ...

    • Interdisciplinary optimism? Sentiment analysis of Twitter data 

      Weber, Charlotte Teresa; Syed, Shaheen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-31)
      Interdisciplinary research has faced many challenges, including institutional, cultural and practical ones, while it has also been reported as a ‘career risk’ and even ‘career suicide’ for researchers pursuing such an education and approach. Yet, the propagation of challenges and risks can easily lead to a feeling of anxiety and disempowerment in researchers, which we think is counterproductive to ...

    • Internet of things DDoS mitigation. Preventing DDoS attacks using learning algorithms on limited hardware 

      Munch-Ellingsen, Peter (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-10-01)
      DDoS attacks are becoming more and more common, and threatens the current infrastructure of the internet. Cheap new IoT devices have led to a lot of new devices that are poorly secured and can easily be compromised and used for such nefarious purposes. While there are many attemps at solving this problem this thesis looks at a solution which could be applied to typical home router. This would stop ...
