Luftambulansetjenesten HF har i dag kontrakt med Avincis Aviation Services, som opererer luftambulanseflyene i Norge. Denne delen av tjenesten hadde 109.095 oppdrag i tiårsperioden 2013-2022, hvorav 30.0% var haste- eller akuttoppdrag. Luftambulansetjenesten har blitt beskrevet av flere som en samfunnskritisk ressurs, da befolkningen i Norge har rett på lik medisinsk behandling uavhengig av ...

Understanding changes in Antarctic ice shelf basal melting is a major challenge for predicting future sea level. Currently, warm Circumpolar Deep Water surrounding Antarctica has limited access to the Weddell Sea continental shelf; consequently, melt rates at Filchner‐Ronne Ice Shelf are low. However, large‐scale model projections suggest that changes to the Antarctic Slope Front and the coastal ...

Recent developments in augmented reality technology have paved way for newapplications in a wide range of areas. These include the commercial markets,medicine applications, military applications and education. The technology pro-vides immersive images to enhance our perception of the world. Augmentedreality addresses challenges related to problem-solving by seamlessly integrat-ing digital images ...

<p>Organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts and acritarchs are a vital tool for reconstructing past environmental change, in particular in the Neogene of the high northern latitudes where marine deposits are virtually barren of traditionally used calcareous microfossils. Yet only little is known about the paleoenvironmental value of fossil assemblages that do not have modern analogues, so that reconstructions ...

Well-preserved fault gouge along brittle faults in Paleoproterozoic, volcano-sedimentary rocks of the Raipas Supergroup exposed in the Alta–Kvænangen tectonic window in northern Norway yielded latest Mesoproterozoic (approximately 1050 15 Ma) to mid-Neoproterozoic (approximately 825–810 18 Ma) K–Ar ages. Pressure–temperature estimates from microtextural and mineralogy analyses of fault ...

Three-dimensional numerical simulation of circulation in fjords hosting marine-terminating ice shelves is challenging because of the complexity of processes involved in such environments. This often requires a comprehensive model setup. The following elements are needed: bathymetry (usually unknown beneath the glacier tongue), ice shelf draft (impacting water column thickness), oceanographic state ...

Renewable generation and power flow control are increasing its importance for power systems. The promising development in the technology increases the efficiency for transferring energy. With increasing consumption, remote locations benefit from close laying power production due to reduced transfer losses. In these recent years, energy storage system and local renewable energy production injected ...

The recent worldwide outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has opened up new challenges to the research community. Artificial intelligence (AI) driven methods can be useful to predict the parameters, risks, and effects of such an epidemic. Such predictions can be helpful to control and prevent the spread of such diseases. The main challenges of applying AI is the small volume of data and the ...

Neutral temperatures at 90 km height above Tromsø, Norway, have been determined using ambipolar diffusion coefficients calculated from meteor echo fading times using the Nippon/Norway Tromsø Meteor Radar (NTMR). Daily temperature averages have been calculated from November 2003 to October 2014 and calibrated against temperature measurements from the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) on board Aura. ...

Corroles are ring-contracted, triprotic analogues of porphyrins. This PhD study expands earlier knowledge in particular on ReO corroles. Early on, it became apparent that ReO corroles exhibit the highest phosphorescence quantum yields among all metallocorroles. They also sensitize singlet oxygen formation and serve as oxygen sensors and as triplet-triplet annihilation upconverters. I accordingly ...
