    • Asymptotics of a spectral-sieve problem 

      Amirat, Youcef; Bodart, Olivier; Chechkin, Gregory; Piatnitski, Andrey (Peer reviewed; Journal article; Tidsskriftsartikkel, 2015-11-18)
      In a bounded domain with a thin periodically punctured interface we study the limit behavior of the bottom of spectrum for a Steklov type spectral problem, the Steklov boundary condition being imposed on the perforation surface. For a certain range of parameters we construct the effective spectral problem and justify the convergence of eigenpairs.
    • Osmosis for non-electrolyte solvents in permeable periodic porous media 

      Heintz, Alexei; Piatnitski, Andrey (Peer reviewed; Journal article; Tidsskriftsartikkel, 2016-08)
      The paper gives a rigorous description, based on mathematical homogenization theory, for flows of solvents with not charged solute particles under osmotic pressure for periodic porous media permeable for solute particles. The effective Darcy type equations for the flow under osmotic pressure distributed within the porous media are derived. The effective Darcy law contains an additional flux term ...
    • Singularly perturbed spectral problems with Neumann boundary conditions 

      Piatnitski, Andrey; Rybalko, A; Rybalko, V (Peer reviewed; Journal article; Tidsskriftsartikkel, 2015-09-07)
      The paper deals with the Neumann spectral problem for a singularly perturbed second-order elliptic operator with bounded lower order terms. The main goal is to provide a refined description of the limit behaviour of the principal eigenvalue and eigenfunction. Using the logarithmic transformation, we reduce the studied problem to an additive eigenvalue problem for a singularly perturbed Hamilton–Jacobi ...
    • Homogenization of random Navier–Stokes-type system for electrorheological fluid 

      Piatnitski, Andrey; Zhikov, Vasily (Peer reviewed; Journal article; Tidsskriftsartikkel, 2015-11-19)
      The paper deals with homogenization of Navier–Stokes-type system describing electrorheological fluid with random characteristics. Under non-standard growth conditions we construct the homogenized model and prove the convergence result. The structure of the limit equations is also studied.
    • A note on the maximal operators of Vilenkin-Nörlund means with non-increasing coefficients 

      Memić, Nacima; Persson, Lars Erik; Tephnadze, George; Kroo, A (Peer reviewed; Journal article; Tidsskriftsartikkel, 2016)
      In [14] we investigated some Vilenkin—Nörlund means with non-increasing coefficients. In particular, it was proved that under some special conditions the maximal operators of such summabily methods are bounded from the Hardy space H1/(1+α) to the space weak-L1/(1+α), (0 < α ≦ 1). In this paper we construct a martingale in the space H1/(1+α), which satisfies the conditions considered in [14], and so ...
    • Boundedness and compactness of a class of Hardy type operators 

      Abylayeva, AAkbota M; Oinarov, Ryskul; Persson, Lars Erik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-12-13)
      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.
    • Some sharp inequalities for integral operators with homogeneous kernel 

      Lukkassen, Dag; Persson, Lars Erik; Samko, Stefan G. (Peer reviewed; Journal article; Tidsskriftsartikkel, 2016-04-09)
      One goal of this paper is to show that a big number of inequalities for functions in Lp(R+), p ≥ 1, proved from time to time in journal publications are particular cases of some known general results for integral operators with homogeneous kernels including, in particular, the statements on sharp constants. Some new results are also included, e.g. the similar general equivalence result is proved and ...

      Abramovich, Shoshana; Persson, Lars Erik (Peer reviewed; Journal article; Tidsskriftsartikkel, 2016-02-01)
    • Sharp Hp-Lp type inequalities of weighted maximal operators of Vilenkin-Nörlund means and its applications 

      Baramidze, Lasha; Persson, Lars Erik; Tephnadze, G; Wall, P (Peer reviewed; Journal article; Tidsskriftsartikkel, 2016-10-01)
      We prove and discuss some new Hp-Lp type inequalities of weighted maximal operators of Vilenkin-Nörlund means with monotone coefficients. It is also proved that these inequalities are the best possible in a special sense. We also apply these results to prove strong summability for such Vilenkin-Nörlund means. As applications, both some well-known and new results are pointed out.

      The complete characterization of the weighted L<sup>p</sup>-L<sup>r</sup> inequalities of supremum operators on the cones of monotone functions for all 0 < p, r≤∞ is given.

    • Shock Tube. Detail overview of equipment and instruments in the shock tube experimental setup 

      Khawaja, Hassan Abbas; Kapaya, Juma; Moatamedi, Mojtaba (Book; Bok, 2015)
      The shock tube is a device in which a normal shock wave is produced by the interaction of fluids at significantly high-pressure difference. The shock tube is comprised of two sections known as driver and driven sections. These two sections are interacted with the high-speed valve or a bursting disc. When the interaction happens, a shock wave forms almost instantaneously and propagates into the driven ...

      Marine noise reduction tends to be challenging and requires a comprehensive engineering approach. The soundproofing materials for marine noise reduction are usually exposed to high temperatures, potential fluid or oil spills, engine maintenance and a high airflow environment. This work looks into the acoustic proofing properties of a non-toxic material ‘SK One Component Polyurethane’ developed by ...
    • Study of Ice Adhesion Behavior of SK One Component Polyurethane 

      Xue, Hui; Khawaja, Hassan Abbas; Moatamedi, Mojtaba; Sun, Zhiheng (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2016-12)
      Ice adhesion causes many serious problems such as aircraft accidents, navigational issues on ships, and power loss on wind turbines. These challenges are mainly associated with the acute behavior of ice adhesion. The ice adheres when water seeps into the microscopic pores of the material substrate and freezes, thereby, forming an interlocking mechanism. Therefore, surface roughness has a significant ...
    • Optimal placement of PMUs considering logical topology of communication medium power system observability 

      Nikumbh, Bhushan Madan (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-11-07)
      A phasor measurement unit (PMU) has a unique ability of providing synchronized phasor measurements of voltage and currents. This ability distinguishes it from all other metering devices. It has been perceived that PMUs hold the capability of revolutionizing the way of power system monitoring and control. However, high per unit cost and challenges related to its communication system has made ...

It does not use any photosensors to orient the PV module. Describing the process in short, the position of the Sun is first calculated based on time and location information. Since this solar panel will be mounted here at UiT, ...
