Measuring icing load and icing rate are important parameters for an atmospheric icing sensor. A new icing sensor has recently been designed and developed at Narvik University College for measuring atmospheric icing rate, icing load and icing type. Unlike the existing atmospheric icing sensors commercially available in market, which uses the axial loading for measuring icing load and icing rate, this ...

Music generation using deep learning has received considerable attention in recent years. Researchers have developed various generative models capable of imitating musical conventions, comprehending the musical corpora, and generating new samples based on the learning outcome. Although the samples generated by these models are persuasive, they often lack musical structure and creativity. For instance, ...

In this paper, we present a framework to study the spatial structure of noctilucent clouds formed by ice particles in the upper atmosphere at mid and high latitudes during summer. We studied noctilucent cloud activity in optical images taken from three different locations and under different atmospheric conditions. In order to identify and distinguish noctilucent cloud activity from other objects ...

As the world moves towards mass customization, there is a need for a manufacturing system that can quickly adapt to market changes. Reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) have been proposed as a solution. RMS is designed to be modular with a high degree of flexibility. However, such a structure creates a lot of complexity. For instance, if the modules are moved or changed, the robot arms in the ...

The recent advancement of digitalization and information and communication technology (ICT) has not only shifted the manufacturing paradigm towards the Fourth Industrial Revolution, namely Industry 4.0, but also provided opportunities for a smart logistics transformation. Despite studies have focused on improving the smartness, connectivity, and autonomy of isolated logistics operations with a primary ...

—With the growing concern of climate change and global warming, the reduction on carbon emissions of supply chain activities have been increasingly focused by both academics and corporates in the last two decades. The increased public awareness on sustainability and stricter environmental policies together enforce the companies to rethink their practices in supply chain design and operations in an ...

With the development of increasing globalization of markets, the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are necessary to improve their innovation ability, and enhance their competitiveness in the global market. This project analyzes the global and region current situation of SMEs, and then provide the conclusion of advantages and challenges of SMEs, especially the sort of small manufacturing ...

Refrigerated seawater (RSW) cooling using CO2 based refrigeration is a relatively new technology that shows promising performance in cold climates. For being a refrigerant CO2 has a low global warming potential (GWP) and is therefore recognized as an environmentally friendly alternative if the unit is competitive on energy efficiency. However, RSW systems with CO2 have a significant reduction in ...

Faget «Transportsystemer for Vann og avløpsteknikk» ved Institutt for Bygg, Energi og Material teknologi skal foreleses for første gang ved UiT Norges Arktiske Universitet våren 2023. For å utforme pensum i emnet vil denne oppgaven samle, analysere og søke å forbedre modeller fra følgende kilder og metoder: • Data fra utgitte lærebøker, rapporter eller tilgjengelig materiale. • Data fra aktuelle ...

The aim of this paper is to adapt the notion of two-scale convergence in Lp to the case of a measure converging to a singular one. We present a specific case when a thin cylinder with locally periodic rapidly oscillating boundary shrinks to a segment, and the corresponding measure charging the cylinder converges to a one-dimensional Lebegues measure of an interval. Themethod is then applied to the ...
