Codes from symmetric polynomials
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-10)We define and study a class of Reed–Muller type error-correcting codes obtained from elementary symmetric functions in finitely many variables. We determine the code parameters and higher weight spectra in the simplest cases. -
Of Monsters and Men: Forms of Evil in War Films
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2018-08-21)The present chapter engages with the formal framing of friend and foe in the war genre. Asserting the significance of film for cultural forms of memory and a politics of the past, I sketch out the generic conventions through which particular notions of self and other are inscribed, before I conduct an analysis of Clint Eastwood’s <i>American Sniper</i> (2014) to flesh out what I term a cosmologic ... -
Predicting peek readiness-to-train of soccer players using long short-term memory recurrent neural networks
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2019-10-21)We are witnessing the emergence of a myriad of hardware and software systems that quantifies sport and physical activities. These are frequently touted as game changers and important for future sport developments.

Impacts of artificial light at night in marine ecosystems—A review
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-18)The globally widespread adoption of Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) began in the mid-20th century. Yet, it is only in the last decade that a renewed research focus has emerged into its impacts on ecological and biological processes in the marine environment that are guided by natural intensities, moon phase, natural light and dark cycles and daily light spectra alterations. The field has diversified ... -
Cost-effectiveness of a rule-out algorithm of acute myocardial infarction in low-risk patients: emergency primary care versus hospital setting
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-21)Aims: Hospital admissions of patients with chest pain considered as low risk for acute coronary syndrome contribute to increased costs and crowding in the emergency departments. This study aims to estimate the cost-effectiveness of assessing these patients in a primary care emergency setting, using the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) 0/1-h algorithm for high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T, ... -

The POPE enables remote transfer of large volume of environmental information using flying vehicles as data-mules. The presented prototype has been ... -
On Edge Cloud Service Provision with Distributed Home Servers
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2017-12-28)Edge computing has been proposed for new types of cloud services, which need computing infrastructure at the network edge. Driven by important use cases from the Internet of Things (IoT) domain, edge cloud computing has also a huge business potential. Edge computing devices are already operational in many industrial and consumer-oriented scenarios. A typical characteristic of these solutions is, ... -
Combinatorics of Reflection Groups and Real Algebraic Geometry
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2022-11-18)Real algebraic geometry studies sets defined by a finite system of real polynomial equalities and inequalities. A central topic in this area is the study of the cone of nonnegative polynomials. Verifying that a given polynomial is nonnegative is an NP-hard problem. However, it turns out to be algorithmically much more feasible to verify if a given polynomial admits a representation into a sum of ... -

Batch Experiments Demonstrating a Two-Stage Bacterial Process Coupling Methanotrophic and Heterotrophic Bacteria for 1-Alkene Production From Methane
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-19)Methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) is a sustainable carbon feedstock for value-added chemical production in aerobic CH<sub>4</sub>-oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs). Under substrate-limited (e.g., oxygen and nitrogen) conditions, CH<sub>4</sub> oxidation results in the production of various short-chain organic acids and platform chemicals. These CH<sub>4</sub>-derived products could be broadened by ... -
Diabetes nursing: Clinical and organizational knowledge as aspects of diabetes management in children with type 1 diabetes
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2016-05)The background of this study is the world wide increase in type 1- diabetes in children. The international diabetes federation (IDF) estimates that approximately 500.000 children under the age of 15 have type 1- diabetes (1). -
Light and freshwater discharge drive the biogeochemistry and microbial ecology in a sub-Arctic fjord over the Polar night
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-30)The polar night has recently received increased attention as a surprisingly active biological season. Yet, polar night microbial ecology is a vastly understudied field. To identify the physical and biogeochemical parameters driving microbial activity over the dark season, we studied a sub-Arctic fjord system in northern Norway from autumn to early spring with detailed monthly sampling.
