Most simple blending functions are polynomials, while more advanced blending functions are, for example, rational or expo-rational fractions. The Fabius function has the required properties of a blending function, but is a nowhere analytic function and cannot be calculated exactly everywhere on the required domain. We present a new set of trigonometric and polynomial blending functions with the shape ...

We establish characterizations of both boundedness and of compactness of a general class of fractional integral operators involving the Riemann-Liouville, Hadamard, and Erdelyi-Kober operators. In particular, these results imply new results in the theory of Hardy type inequalities. As applications both new and well-known results are pointed out.

The purpose of this thesis is to set the groundwork for future research on developing a machine-learning based anomaly detection system for hospitalized patients. Our first step was to study and analyze the project’s needs, background, and literature examining similar criteria. In the second step, we interviewed medical experts and researchers. Based on our research and the suggestions received ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a field with both industrial and academic significance. Computer-aided optimisation has brought advances to this field over the years, but challenges and areas of improvement still remain. Design to execution inaccuracies, void formation, material anisotropy, and surface quality are examples of remaining challenges. These challenges can be improved via some of the ...

This master's thesis reports on security of a Cyber-Physical System (CPS) in the department of industrial engineering at UiT campus Narvik. The CPS targets connecting distinctive robots in the laboratory in the department of industrial engineering. The ultimate objective of the department is to propose such a system for the industry. The thesis focuses on the network architecture of the CPS and ...

The aim of this research is to assess the response of a thin membrane subjected to high-pressure gas loading for inflation. This procedure is applied during the design process of the membrane structure to allow the product to resist high-pressure loading and to further characterize the hyper-elastic material. The simulation in this work considers the standard procedures used in the LS-DYNA software, ...

In this thesis, the designing of a grid-connected photovoltaic system for the power electronic laboratory of UiT- Campus Narvik has been carried out. The relevant topics and literature regarding the elements in a photovoltaic system and grid connection standards have been studied and reviewed. A system with the capacity and ratings of solar modules currently available has been designed in Simulink. ...

This paper presents design considerations for a shock tube experimental rig used to investigate the dynamic failure mechanisms of shell geometries subjected to water shock impact loading. In such setup, it is desirable that the drive pressure used within the tube can provide a wide range of impulsive loads on the test structures and some flexibility can be achieved on the applied pulse durations. ...

With today's storage of information moving from paper to physical hard drives and the cloud, safety of these new information platforms are of great importance. Today an average server suffers several instances of abuse weekly, or even daily. The purpose of this project is to design a system for detecting abusive data traffic coming to or from a server by using machine learning algorithms. Also of ...
