Denne oppgaven er en studie om radon i eksisterende bygninger med en casestudie. I forkant av utarbeidelse og utførelse av en tiltakspakke, ble det gjort en litteraturstudie innenfor temaet om radon, situasjonen i Norge og anbefalte tiltak for å redusere radonnivåene i eksisterende boliger. Casestudien omhandler en enebolig i Beisfjord, Narvik kommune. Det har blitt utført bytte av innvendig radonbrønn ...

Transition curves are a useful tool for lateral alignment of railway segments. Their design is important to ensure safe and comfortable travel for passengers and cargo. Well designed transition curves can lead to reduced wear of tracks and vehicles, which is beneficial from a maintenance point of view. Extensive studies have been performed through decades to find transition curves that can replace ...

"This master thesis is written for Norwegian volunteer organization “Hjelpekorpset” that is a search and rescue organization. The organization performs different kinds of activities in addition to rescue missions. During wintertime, they transport materials, furniture and other cargo to local huts to raise funds for the organization. This is the basis for the thesis, where the aim was to redesign a ...

SMEs constitute the backbone of the global economy possessing a vital role in future economic prosperity. Today, with the increasing competition due to globalization of markets and mass customization, as well as the increasing focus on green shift and sustainability, the need to take advantage of new technological innovations has never been more prominent. Metal Additive Manufacturing (MAM) is one ...

In this paper the problem of real-time particle tracking is studied. Using sensor measurements, a formation of UAVs autonomously find the closest point with high particle density where they enter a holding pattern. After converging to the holding pattern, one UAV will remain, while the rest will go looking for other maxima. To avoid collisions between the UAVs during the mission, a controller is ...

The growing installation of distributed energy resources (DERs) in a distribution network (DN) poses substantial issues related to voltage regulation. Due to constrained switching operation and slower response time, traditional voltage regulation devices cannot handle current voltage-related challenges. One alternative to solve these problems is to use smart converters to control the reactive ...

In this paper we derive and discuss some new theorems related to all rearrangements of a given set in Rn , denoted (x) and use the results to prove some new Jensen type inequalities for convex, superquadratic, strongly convex and 1 -quasiconvex functions.

Falls in homes of the elderly, in residential care facilities and in hospitals commonly occur in close proximity to the bed. Most approaches for recognizing falls use cameras, which challenge privacy, or sensor devices attached to the bed or the body to recognize bedside events and bedside falls. We use data collected from a ceiling mounted 80 60 thermal array combined with an ultrasonic sensor ...

The manufacturing industry is moving from mass production towards more personalized products through mass customization. In order to adapt factories should be highly flexible and rapidly able to adjust their operations.The new technologies and concepts in industry 4.0 are important in the transition from mass-to flexible and personalized manufacturing systems. One such specific tool for increased ...

In this paper we discuss, complement and improve some Bennett type inequalities. In particular,we prove a new refinement of a Bennett type inequality using super quadracity argument.
