In this article, we analyse how energy security are woven into political discourses among Norwegian policymakers after the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the consequences of this for intergenerational justice and environmental concerns more broadly. Preceding justifications centred on state revenue and domestic economic growth, the current discourse focuses on the European need for security of ...

<p>Artificial intelligence (AI) encompasses a range of techniques that enable machines to perceive, learn, and make intelligent decisions and it has emerged as transformative technology in many applications. This thesis presents the development of an AI model, focusing on the significance of the primary representative dataset and the effectiveness of transfer learning and fine-tuning techniques for ...

Havforskningsinstituttet gir råd for alle operasjoner til havs som involverer bruk av lydkilder, samt elektromagnetiske kilder som kan påvirke marine økosystemer. Dette inkluderer vitenskapelige undersøkelser, utbygging og sprenging i sjø, seismiske og elektromagnetiske undersøkelser i forbindelse med petroleumsvirksomhet , og utbygging og drift av vindkraftanlegg til havs. Denne rapporten er en ...

In response to the increasing demand for construction informatics (CI) expertise, universities in the Nordic countries have developed new educational offers. This study explores how CI related education is being delivered by three different universities, two in Norway and one in Sweden. By comparing curricula and interviewing CI teachers, this paper contributes to the recent debate on the international ...

Underwater capacitive power transfer (CPT) can provide an inexpensive and light electric charging solution with good misalignment tolerance for unmanned maritime vehicles. This paper investigates the effect of the changing of the frequency and the distance on the power transfer and overall efficiency of the underwater CPT system, considering the dielectric losses of the medium. It also proposes and ...

According toThe International SocietyofMultiphysics (“Definition— MULTIPHYSICS”),multiphysics (sometimes spelledasmulti-physics) is defined as a coupled modeling approach of studies that demands simultaneous addressing of hitherto separate physical disciplines and combining them to generate relational mathematical models and validate them with controlled experiments to enhance the understanding of ...

In this paper, we present a novel concept of tracking cargoes at open ports using remote sensing images and convolution neural network (CNN) to classify various dry bulk commodities. The dataset used is prepared using Sentinel-2 atmospherically corrected (Sentinel-2 L2A) images covering 12 spectral bands. There are total 4995 labeled and geo-referenced images for four different cargoes-bauxite, coal, ...

Rapid changes in the level of digitalization have changed manufacturing and production industries during our lifetime. Several industries have explored the extent to which these changes can be utilized to optimize supply chain processes and increase sustainability – they have achieved success in implementation. The energy industry, being one of the world’s largest and most financially consuming ...

The ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and the influenza epidemics have revived the interest in understanding how these highly contagious enveloped viruses respond to alterations in the physicochemical properties of their microenvironment. By understanding the mechanisms and conditions by which viruses exploit the pH environment of the host cell during endocytosis, we can gain a better understanding ...

As the world moves towards mass customization, there is a need for a manufacturing system that can quickly adapt to market changes. Reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) have been proposed as a solution. RMS is designed to be modular with a high degree of flexibility. However, such a structure creates a lot of complexity. For instance, if the modules are moved or changed, the robot arms in the ...
