The Meaning of Comfort in the Intensive Care Unit
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Providing comfort in an intensive care unit (ICU) setting is often related to pain relief and end-of-life care; environmental factors are often neglected, despite the major role of the environment on the patients’ well-being ... -
Collaborative project delivery methods: a scoping review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Understanding how to systemise, organise, and finance the design, construction, operation, and maintenance activities are all parameters needed to be optimised simultaneously in a Project Delivery Method. To meet the ... -
Uncertainty assessments of structural loading due to frst year ice based on the ISO standard by using Monte-Carlo simulation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Sea ice is the major source of loading for structural design in cold regions. The intrinsic properties of sea ice are generally associated with high degrees of uncertainty due to ice growth taking place during different ... -
Performance Assessment of Safety-instrumented Systems Subject to Cascading Failures in High-demand Mode
(Chapter, 2019)Safety-instrumented systems are designed to act upon hazardous events and reinforce safety. IEC 61508 specifies two possible reliability measures of safety-instrumented systems: the average probability of failure on demand ... -
An experimental investigation into moisture-induced expansion of plasters
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)This paper presents an experimental study on moisture-induced expansion of selected plasters. Contactless measurement is introduced and a coefficient of moisture expansion for different building plasters is established. ... -
Climate change and hydrological analysis of Tekeze river basin Ethiopia: implication for potential hydropower production
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Climate change is expected to intensify the hydropower production in East Africa. This research investigates the runoff and energy production in the current and future climate for the Tekeze hydropower plant located in the ... -
Investigation of the effects of ship inducedwaves on the littoral zone with field measurements and CFD modeling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Waves induced by ship movement might be harmful for the habitat in the littoral zone of rivers due to the temporally increasing bed shear stress, the high-energy breaking waves and the consequently related detachment of ... -
Utilization of Size-Tunable Hollow Silica Nanospheres for Building Thermal Insulation Applications
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Hollow silica nanospheres (HSNS) have been the subject of intense studies as a possible building block that may successfully bring about nano insulation materials (NIM) with substantially reduced thermal conductivity. The ... -
Climate Change Adaptation Measures for Buildings—A Scoping Review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Abstract:As the climate changes globally and locally, the built environment will be subject to differentclimatic exposure than in the past. Adaptation measures are required to ensure the long-termintegrity and successful ... -
Modeling and Prediction of Regular Ionospheric Variations and Deterministic Anomalies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Knowledge on the ionospheric total electron content (TEC) and its prediction are of great practical importance and engineering relevance in many scientific disciplines. We investigate regular ionospheric anomalies and TEC ... -

Grønn energi til Stryn Sommerski - Utredningsstudie om alternative energiløsninger
(SINTEF Rapport;, Research report, 2019)Strynefjellet Sommerski ligger langt fra kraftnettet, og strømforsyningen er dermed basert på bruk av fossile brensler med årlige CCE-utslipp på ca. 61 tonn. I denne rapporten er tre ulike alternative energiforsyningssystem ... -
First Evidence of Mesoscale Ocean Eddies Signature in GNSS Reflectometry Measurements
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Feasibility of sensing mesoscale ocean eddies using spaceborne Global Navigation Satellite Systems-Reflectometry (GNSS-R) measurements is demonstrated for the first time. Measurements of Cyclone GNSS (CYGNSS) satellite ... -
Optimal design of offshore wind turbine support structures under uncertainty - Towards a framework for practical reliability-based design optimization
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:33, Doctoral thesis, 2020)As part of efforts to reduce the costs of offshore wind energy, optimization methods for the design of support structures are an important contribution. In order to account for the uncertainties in the design process without ... -
The impact of fixed link projects to islands on accessibility and population development
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:50, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Norway has a long coastline, with many islands and fjords. Ferries play a vital role in enabling people to access these islands and to cross the fjords. However, in recent decades, several ferry services have been replaced ... -
