3D-printing of polymers come in a large variety of methods and materials, each configuration with its own strengths and weaknesses. To compute and estimate mechanical properties of 3D-printed parts, good knowledge to the geometry of the internal structures is important to obtain. This will vary between different printers and slicers. As 3D-printed parts are anisotropic, it is often challenging to ...

Thanks to technical improvements, drones may now perform more than simply visual inspections of structures and buildings. An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) drone can be equipped with a robotic arm or an attachment with sensors to check and test the structures and buildings. Designing a robotic arm with a modular end-effector that can be attached to a drone was the focus of this master's thesis research. ...

Generating structured music using deep learning methods with symbolic representation is challenging due to the complex relationships between musical elements that define a musical composition. Symbolic representation of music, such as MIDI or sheet music, can help overcome some of these challenges by encoding the music in a format that allows manipulation and analysis. However, the symbolic ...

Ageing civil infrastructures such as bridges and building causes many consequences from practical and economical point of view. Especially in northern Norway, the impact of extreme arctic conditions is intense on civil engineering infrastructures (see \cite{Singh:2022:hologaland_Bridge}). With the increased loading due to the prosperous seafood industry and increased cargo activity is putting ...

This paper examines the current state-of-the-art in object tracking and detection in the context of baggage handling systems using a variety of technologies, with special interest in image classification. Data collection at Tromsø Airport using simple and inexpensive equipment in order to capture images of different types of luggage will be described. Furthermore, a selection of three relevant ...

The proposed paper documents research carried out in the Smart Charge project. This project has investigated the use of electric snowmobiles for V2G purposes. Electric snowmobiles and ATVs have been introduced in remote areas in the Arctic to replace the fossil fuelled vehicles that dominate today. Electric versions of these can add extra loads to the local electricity grid. But they can also be ...

This paper is devoted to investigating the sequence of some linear functionals in the space BV of finite variation functions. We prove that under certain conditions this sequence is bounded. We also prove that this result is sharp. In particular, the obtained results can be used to study convergence of some general Fourier series. Moreover, the obtained conditions seem to be new and useful also for ...

The paper deals with periodic homogenization problem for a para\-bo\-lic equation whose elliptic part is a convolution type operator with rapidly oscillating coefficients. It is assumed that the coefficients are rapidly oscillating periodic functions both in spatial and temporal variables and that the scaling is diffusive that is the scaling factor of the temporal variable is equal to the square of ...

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.

In this paper, we derive the maximal subspace of natural numbers { <i>n_k</i> : <i>k</i> &#8805; 0 }, such that the restricted maximal operator, defined by sup_{<i>k</i>&#8712;&#8469;} | &sigma;<i>_{n_k}F</i> | on this subspace of Fejér means of Walsh–Fourier series is bounded from the martingale Hardy space <i>H</i>_1/2 to the Lebesgue space ...
