Denne artikkelen diskuterer hva ingeniørstudenter gjør når de lærer lineær algebra. Arbeidet inngår i et pågående forskningsprosjekt om læring, og grunnlagsdataene for artikkelen ble samlet inn ved at studentene besvarte et obligatorisk spørreskjema der spørsmålet om hva de gjør når de lærer lineær algebra, ble stilt som et åpent spørsmål. Dataene representerer derfor studentenes egne ord om hva de ...

Vehicular Visible light communication (VLC) technology has recently attracted much interest from researchers and scientists. This technology enables connectivity between vehicles and infrastructures along the road by using vehicles’ headlights and taillights as wireless transmitters. The reliability of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) VLC systems is affected by several factors, such as car mobility, optics ...

This paper investigates the feasibility of using free space optics (FSO) for communication between multiple hovering unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and a detection unit (DU) in the Arctic. The uniqueness that sets apart UAV-based FSO systems from conventional FSO systems is the dynamics of the system since location and inclination of the UAV changes over time due to wind load and UAV oscillations. ...

Atmospheric icing on onshore and offshore structures is problematic, if we don’t detect and remove it. Despite of various ice detection techniques, capacitor based ice sensing technique is interesting one, as it is based on dielectric properties of material. This technique of measuring icing event is simple and cost- effective. Based on the dielectric concept, an experi mental ...

This paper proposes the concept of a field programmable and configurable power electronic converter together with a new synthesis method. By considering the converter as a pack of resources, the converter topology and configuration of inputs and outputs can be programmed in the field through, utilising the available device resources.

This paper describes a framework for simulating household appliances in Simulink. Typical Norwegian household equipment have been analyzed based on their characteristic behavior, to establish the requirement for synthesizing and recreating their current waveform, harmonic currents and phase shift. Both detailed simulation of the current waveform and RMS currents for simulation over longer time periods ...

The present paper investigates the gender perspective of flipped classroom. In particular, it considers how the collaborative setting of in-class group-work affect the female population of students. The paper draws on an in-depth analysis of the interview with one such student. The focus of this interview was on interactional collaboration between peers during group work activities in a ...

This paper presents the benefits of PVA fibers in improving the mechanical properties of class F fly-ash-based geopolymer concrete. The activator used in the geopolymer was 8M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium silicate (Na₂SiO₃), with a mass ratio of Na₂SiO₃ to NaOH varied from 1.5 to 2.5. Cylindrical specimens with a diameter of 100 mm and a height of ...

The aim of this study is to investigate teaching videos about mathematics, seeking to uncover research-based foundations for their quality. By drawing on the notions of procedural and conceptual knowledge, the research was operationalized by asking professionals in undergraduate mathematics education (n=18) to interpret sections of a teaching video. The video dealt with a topic in linear algebra. ...
