With the growing aquaculture, improved management of the environmental, logistic-managerial, social, and economic aspect are vital to preserving sustainability in the industry. The dissertation addresses the potential processing of the fish waste in aquaponics (a combination of two highly effective production technologies: hydroponics and recirculating aquaculture). Involving a suggestion for ...

A small and medium sized enterprise (SME) with an assembly to order manufacturing system (ATO-MS) depending on a global supply chain has especially challenges when it comes to secure the quality. The parts procured from a global supply chain represent a big amount of value invested in to the short line of the MS. Depending on the definition of quality from the suppliers, how can the company react ...

This thesis explores various charging standards for electric vehicles with the goal to find a standard that can be implemented in an electric maritime vessel (EMV). Combined charging system 2.0 (CCS2) is selected and the standard is explained in detail along with the necessary power electronics. Several Matlab and dSPACE simulations is made to test the charging and communication. A laboratory ...

This thesis will investigate the effects of an energy storage system incorporated into the submodules of a modular multilevel converter connected to a HVDC line. A simulation has been made to see the effects of energy storage on the transmission of power from a generator connected to the grid via a HVDC line with two MMCs connected in each end, one of which incorporates the energy storage system.

Denne rapporten presenterer design og simuleringer av en toakset solcellerigg. Denne bestpunktsporingen riggen fungerer utelukkende basert på utgangseffekten til solcellepanelet montert til det. Det bruker ikke noen solsensor til å orientere solcellepanelet. Posisjonen til solen er beregnet basert på tid og stedsinformasjon. Siden dette solpanelet vil bli montert her på UiT, Norges Arktiske Universitet, ...

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 ...

This thesis describes results of study into development of a Visual Speech Therapy tool for therapy of speech impediments. It describes what Visual Speech Therapy tools are, their benefits, and what tools are available on the market. Main focus being therapy for children and teenagers with dysarthria, hearing problems, and functional speech impediments. After introducing the therapy tools it presents ...

We present three case studies of the distribution of adjective + head noun (‘adjective’) vs. head noun + noun-genitive (‘genitive’) constructions based on datasets extracted from the Russian National Corpus. Each case study focuses on a different set of non-head referents: case study 1 examines non-heads that are country names (like ‘Norway’ as in <i>norvežskij</i> N vs. N <i>Norvegii</i>), case ...

Although the health benefits of physical activity are well documented, a large proportion of the population fails to meet current guidelines for physical activity. In order to develop evidence-based public health policies, surveillance of physical activity prevalence and trends is essential. The main aim of this study was to present updated data on physical activity trends in a Norwegian general ...

<b>Background:</b> Exposure to environmental pollutants may contribute to the development of asthma and other allergies. The aim of this study was to investigate possible associations between asthma and other allergies with exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in adolescents from the Arctic region of Norway.<br><b> Methods</b> The Tromsø study Fit Futures 1 (TFF1) and 3-year follow-up Fit ...
