Vehicular Edge Computing (VEC) emerges as a rem-edy to achieve flexible and fine-grained air pollution monitoring, where vehicles equipped with onboard sensors can sense, process, calibrate and store air pollutants on the drive, and roadside units (RSUs) can be deployed for vehicles to offload data via low-cost vehicle-to-RSU (V2R) communication. However, existing VEC-based air pollution monitoring ...

Background - Supported Employment (SE) is a widely used methodology for work inclusion, with a documented positive effect for several user groups with difficulties to enter the competitive labor market. In 2017, SE was implemented in the Norwegian Labor and Welfare Administration (NLWA), provided by employment specialists for labor market inclusion.<p> <p>Objectives - To examine experiences of ...

Denne rapporten undersøker hvorvidt dagens finansiering av fastlegeordningen understøtter fastlegenes portvokteroppgaver. Vi har tatt utgangspunkt i fastlegers inntjening fra takster for å belyse i hvilken retning insentivene i dagens finansieringssystem trekker. Vi har undersøkt sammenhengen mellom fastlegenes inntjening og forskrivning av antibiotika, vanedannende legemidler, henvisning til ...

We have synthesised a series of 12-residue analogues of a previously reported lead peptide (P6) developed from the heavy chain of the marine peptide EeCentrocin 1, isolated from the sea urchin Echinus esculentus. We optimised the lead peptide by increasing its net positive charge, its lipophilicity through N-terminal fatty acid acylation or incorporation of a Trp residue, and by synthesising ...

This chapter explores the perceptual acts modelled by John Clare’s poetry, especially in encounters with the more-than-human world. Rather than foregrounding the ways a perceiving ego shapes a landscape, Clare details situations and perspectives readers can imaginatively enter and emphasizes the ways that the situations themselves invite receptivity. He normalizes ecologically attuned modes of ...

This chapter brings together the issues of analogy and contrast through a perspective of linguistic borrowing. We analyze the integration of new [N[N]] compounds, borrowed from English into Russian (e.g. top-igrok ‘top player’). By discussing two corpus studies and two small experiments, we show that Russian new [N[N]] compounds reflect both “levelling” and “extension”. There are at least three ...

Warehousing constitutes an important part of spare parts management in the oil and gas industry. During the past years, the introduction of Industry 4.0 has enabled several industries to introduce new technologies to their warehousing activities to optimize processes. Examples from industries such as e-commerce and retail have shown that Industry 4.0 technology implementation can lead to lower costs, ...

For å komme til Vega må en reise via sjøveien. Ferge eller hurtigbåt frakter en til de om lag 6500 øyene som stadig flere ønsker å reise til. Disse besøkene symboliserer også en reise som Vega har tatt – en reise fra et fraflytningstruet kystsamfunn til en turistdestinasjon med UNESCO-verdensarvstatus (fra 2004). Bakgrunnen for tildelinga av verdensarvstatus er knyttet til tradisjonene med ærfuglrøkting ...

I Norge står fellesskap sterkt som ideal. Når norske samfunnsmedlemmer møter utfordringer som koronaepidemi, finanskrise, eldrebølge, økende sosial ulikhet og miljøtrusler, er det «fellesskapet» som er truet. Og når de skal løse problemer, er det gjerne «fellesskapet» som skal stille opp. Men hva med fellesskap som realitet. Finnes det et norsk fellesskap? Eller er det bare ideologisk retorikk og ...

Accurate segmentation of subcellular structures from microscopy images is crucial for understanding cellular processes and functions, but it presents significant challenges due to factors such as noise, low signal-to-noise ratios, limited resolution, and complex spatial arrangements. To address these challenges, we introduce CMU-Net, a novel hybrid architecture that combines the strengths of U-Net, ...
