Wood burning habits and its effect on the electrical energy demand of a retrofitted Norwegian detached house
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Using firewood as a space heating source is a popular solution in Norwegian housing and can significantly reduce the electrical energy demand of houses. This study analysed habits and reasons for using a wood stove from ... -
Wood coating failures against natural and accelerated climates
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Monitoring, assessment and prediction of service life of materials are a serious challenge for the building and construction sector. According to ISO 15686 (2008), laboratory testing must be performed alongside field testing ... -
Wood dust flammability analysis by microscale combustion calorimetry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)To study the practicability of a micro combustion calorimeter to analyze the calorimetry kinetics of wood, a micro combustion calorimeter with 13 heating rates from 0.1 to 5.5 K/s was used to perform the analysis of 10 ... -
Wood Facade Materials Ageing Analysis by FTIR Spectroscopy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy is used in this study to quantify wood degradation. Nine different types of wood materials were studied. All types of wood were exposed in an Atlas solar ... -
Wood Pellets Utilized in the Commercial and Residential Sectors: - an in-depth study of selected barriers for increased use
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2013:322, Doctoral thesis, 2013)Biomass is an important energy carrier since it is a renewable source and the energy content in the fuel can be stored over time and also generate high temperatures. Bioenergy can be in liquid form, gas-phase or solid. The ... -
Wood shrinkage coefficient and dry weight moisture content estimations from CT-images
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)The aim of this work was to try out an algorithm for estimating wood shrinkage coefficients from X-ray computed tomography images. The maximal amount of shrinkage that could occur from a green wood to oven-dry wood condition ... -
Wood stove material configurations for increased thermal comfort
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)In this work, a numerical model of the heat transfer through composite wood stove walls has been used to study the effect of material configurations on the heat storage and the heat release profile to the room, to arrive ... -
Wood Weathering as Design Option
(Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2014:272, Doctoral thesis, 2014)The objective of the presented work is to provide a more thorough understanding of weathering colors and color patterns of untreated wooden claddings. The perspective taken throughout this work is that weathering is ... -
Wood Weathering from a Service Life Perspective
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2011:187, Doctoral thesis, 2011)Untreated wooden cladding has a long tradition and has in recent years become a both economically and environmentally beneficial solution in miscellaneous modern building applications. Untreated wood in cladding and similar ... -
Wood-based nanocellulose and bioactive glass modified gelatin-alginate bioinks for 3D bioprinting of bone cells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)A challenge in the extrusion-based bioprinting is to find a bioink with optimal biological and physicochemical properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of wood-based cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) and ... -
Wood-Pellet Heating in Norway: Early Adopters' Satisfaction and Problems That Have Been Experienced
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Given the vital role of early adopters during the early stage of wood-pellet heating development, this study aims to explore the factors that explain the overall satisfaction among the early adopters of this type of heating ... -
WoolPlot: A Visual Wool Profiler
(Master thesis, 2011)Task-based programming involves creating tasks, which can be run independently of each other, and letting the run-time system schedule the tasks on the underlying architecture. Wool is a new library for task-based programming ... -
Word Discovery from Unsegmented Speech
(Master thesis, 2020)Hensikten til denne oppgaven er å finne ord i sammenhengende tale ved hjelp av ikke-veiledet maskinlæring. Det ble testet med to metoder av latent faktoranalyse; Non-Negative Matrix Factorization (NNMF) og Beta Process ... -
Word Embedding based on Low-Rank Doubly Stochastic Matrix Decomposition
(Chapter, 2018)Word embedding, which encodes words into vectors, is an important starting point in natural language processing and commonly used in many text-based machine learning tasks. However, in most current word embedding approaches, ... -
Word learning in ASD: the sensorimotor, the perceptual and the symbolic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Word learning requires successful pairing of form and meaning. A common hypothesis about the process of word learning is that initially, infants work on identifying the phonological segments corresponding to words (speech ... -
