I dette masterprosjektet har eg undersøkt korleis doktorgradsstudentar snakkar om Open Access. Dette er ei kvalitativ studie der diskursanalyse er nytta som analysemodell. Målet har vore å få eit innblikk i kva tankar, haldningar og tankar haldningar som finnast blant ferske forskarar ved universitet i Norge. Problemstillingane eg har nytta er: Korleis snakkar doktorgradsstudentar om Open Access? ...

Fast changeover is changing from one process or machine to another line, process, or machine to produce different products or services. Lean aims at reducing waste, improving productivity, and eliminating non-value-added activities to the customer. Whilst achieving sustained continual improvement in certain activities and process of an organization. This project focuses on implementing the methodologies ...

Both the generation and transmission power networks are facing new threats and opportunities as the number of distributed energy resources (DERs) grows. Because of the high solar PV penetration, voltage rise and voltage volatility are becoming major problems in the distribution network. Voltage regulating devices (VRDs), such as on load tap changers (OLTCs), phase voltage regulators (SVRs), and ...

The world is evolving towards automation at a rapid rate. With this, there are lot of gaps that need to be filled as we switch from conventional methodology of doing things to the adaptation of newer automated technology. One of those many news aspects is Additive Manufacturing, also known as 3D printing. 3D Printing has changed significantly over the years, from it being used for making prototypes ...

This Master's thesis represents the preliminary design study and proposes the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) -based inspection framework, comprising several multirotors with automatic charging and deployment for 24/7 integrity inspection tasks. This project has three main topics. First one describes the operational environment and existing regulations that cover use of UAVs. It forms the basis ...

This thesis will investigate different robotic manipulation and grasping approaches. It will present an overview of robotic simulation environments, and offer an evaluation of PyBullet, CoppeliaSim, and Gazebo, comparing various features. The thesis further presents a background for current approaches to robotic manipulation and grasping by describing how the robotic movement and grasping can be ...

God kontroll av reaktiv effekt er en helt nødvendig del av et velfungerende kraftsystem. Reaktiv effekt er funksjon av spenning og lastvinkel, men er i størst grad påvirket av spenningen under normale forhold. Det finnes mange forskjellige reaktive ressurser i kraftsystemet, og de har forskjellige egenskaper og karakteristikker. Statiske reaktive ressurser er kondensatorbatterier, reaktorer og ...

The present thesis shows how ordinary people experience the process of medicalization in their everyday life. The thesis describes how health and iliness is resolved, and how they solve their daily health problems. <p>The data presented is from two villages on the coast of Northern Norway. The study from Nordfjord examines how people change their attitude to iliness, health and health-care over time. ...

Effective communication is essential for understanding and recall of hospital discharge information. This study aimed to explore discharge information, patient recall and patient involvement in discharge encounters. We conducted an explorative observational study at a secondary care level, observational ward. Patients discharged to their home were asked to participate. 34 patients were assessed ...
