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 ...

Hensikt: Å utforske norske jordmødres erfaringer i møte med innvandrerkvinner i fødsel som ikke behersker det norske språk. Metode: Kvalitativ metode med åtte individuelle intervju. I dette studiet ble det brukt en hermeneutisk tilnærming og data ble analysert etter livsverden hermeneutikk. Funn: Funnene presenteres gjennom fem temaer: språkbarrierer kan gi disharmoni og hindre deltakelse, ...

We consider linear codes over a finite field Fq, for odd q, derived from determinantal varieties, obtained from symmetric matrices of bounded ranks. A formula for the weight of a codeword is derived. Using this formula, we have computed the minimum distance for the codes corresponding to matrices upperbounded by any fixed, even rank. A conjecture is proposed for the cases where the upper bound is ...

For the largest exceptional simple Lie superalgebra F(4), having dimension (24|16), we provide two explicit geometric realizations as supersymmetries, namely as the symmetry superalgebra of super-PDE systems of second and third order respectively.

Nintendo has recently released a new Mario game, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, a multiplayer platformer involving a good dose of mushrooms, both in-game and presumably during development. But psychedelic trips aside, in the first few stages of the game we are introduced to a completely new (and arguably the best) “enemy” in Mario games: a snail with a fabulous pink shell. Figure 1. Snail (©Nintendo, ...

We observe that, up to conjugation, a majority of higher order ODEs (ordinary differential equations) and ODE systems have only fiber-preserving point symmetries. By exploiting Lie's classification of Lie algebras of vector fields, we describe all exceptions to this in the case of scalar ODEs and systems of ODEs on a pair of functions. The scalar ODEs whose symmetry algebras are not fiber preserving ...

With the rapid technological advancement and innovation in Industry 4.0/5.0, digitalization has become the mainstream that transforms the paradigm of many industries, businesses, and services. In this regard, AI-enabled chatbots have been increasingly adopted by many companies for providing customer services instead of human agents. On the one hand, the use of AI-enabled chatbots provides opportunities ...

An exploration of the economization of the ocean through the small modifications that enable great transformations of nature.<p> <p>The ocean is the site of an ongoing transformation that is aimed at creating new economic opportunities and prosperity. In Nature-Made Economy, Kristin Asdal and Tone Huse explore how the ocean has been harnessed to become a space of capital investment and innovation, ...

Product development is often an important component in increasing demand for successful aquaculture species. However, this topic has not received much attention due to limited data availability. In this paper, we investigate how the composition of salmon sales differ by product form by comparing the four largest European countries in terms of salmon consumption: France, Germany, Spain and the United ...
