Brannprosjektering av automatiske parkeringsanlegg
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-18)Automatiske parkeringsanlegg er en innovativ parkeringsløsning som løser plassutfordringene som følge av befolkningsvekst, sentralisering og fortetning, men medfører samtidig nye utfordringer med hensyn til brannsikkerheten. Der en parkeringsplass tidligere var forbeholdt én bil, kan det i denne typen parkeringsanlegg være stablet flere biler i høyden. For rednings- og slokkemannskaper medfører disse ... -

Optimal bruk av reaktive ressurser
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-18)God kontroll av reaktiv effekt er en helt nødvendig del av et velfungerende kraftsystem. Reaktiv effekt er funksjon av spenning og lastvinkel, men er i størst grad påvirket av spenningen under normale forhold. Det finnes mange forskjellige reaktive ressurser i kraftsystemet, og de har forskjellige egenskaper og karakteristikker. Statiske reaktive ressurser er kondensatorbatterier, reaktorer og ... -
The potential for reducing inappropriate hospital admissions : a study of health benefits and costs in a department of internal medicine
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 1999)Inappropriate hospital admissions are defined as those which do not result in health benefit for the patient or in such benefit that could have been obtained on a lower care level. Studies from many parts of the world have reported high rates of such admissions. It is commonly believed that they represent a potential for significant cost reductions. However, this assumes that they can be identified ... -

Vilkår for begrepsdannelse og praksis i psykiatri : en filosofisk undersøkelse
(Others; Andre, 1996)Det begrensede siktemålet med denne avhandlingen, er å gi en oversikt over sentrale vilkår for psykiatrisk begrepsdannelse og praksis. En slik oversikt vil dog forhåpentligvis gjøre det enklere å bedømme hvilke spørsmål det er viktig å stille, i en klargjøring av psykiatriens potensiale som forvalter av intensjonen om lydhørhet overfor den Andres smerte. -

Factors affecting self-evaluated general health status and the use of professional health care services
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 1991)The idea of health has been given different meanings throughout history. The “Pippin perspective” introduced here contrasts the seemingly prevailing cultural climate of fascination and concern with personal health, uneasiness and “elevating health to a super value, a metaphor for all that is good in life” (1). What Pippin might help to illustrate is the reported historical trend toward a ... -
Roach Infestation Optimization MPPT Algorithm of PV Systems for Adaptive to Fast-Changing Irradiation and Partial Shading Conditions
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-18)Of all the renewable energy sources, solar photovoltaic (PV) power is considered to be a popular source owing to several advantages such as its free availability, absence of rotating parts, integration to building such as roof tops and less maintenance cost. The nonlinear current–voltage (I–V) characteristics and power generated from a PV array primarily depends on solar insolation/irradiation and ... -

The Transitivity Index: Using Transitivity as a Continuous Measure to Account for Clitic Case Alternation in Spanish Causative Constructions.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-25)In Spanish causative constructions with dejar ‘let’ and hacer ‘make’ the subject of the embedded infinitive verb can appear in the accusative or the dative case. This case alternation has been accounted for by resorting to the notion of direct vs. indirect causation. Under this account, the accusative clitic with a transitive verb denotes direct causation while the dative clitic with an intransitive ...
