Attainable regions and fuzzy multi-criteria decisions: Modeling a novel configuration of methane bioreactor using experimental limits of operation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)This study sets out to develop an approach that couples attainable regions and fuzzy multicriteria decision methods for modeling optimal configurations of multistage digesters without using a kinetic model of the process. ... -
The automated driver as a new road user
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Although road infrastructure has been designed to accommodate human drivers’ physiology and psychology for over a century, human error has always been the main cause of traffic accidents. Consequently, Advanced Driver ... -
Automated Tool Trajectory Generation for Robotized Deburring of Cast Parts Based on 3D Scans
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Manual removal of burrs on castings introduces health, safety, and environmental concerns. Automated removal of highly variable casting burrs could improve safety, but requires a solution based on robots, smart sensors, ... -
Automatic building outline extraction from ALS point cloud data using generative adversarial network
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The generation of building footprints from laser scanning point clouds or remote sensing images involves three steps: segmentation, outline extraction and boundary regularization/generalization. Currently, existing approaches ... -

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024) -
Avoiding Cost Overrun Through Stochastic Cost Estimation and External Quality Assurance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Cost overruns are a threat to project performance and continue to attract interest in both the popular media and the academic literature. Numerous studies from all continents have demonstrated that overruns remain prevalent ... -
Avoiding snow and ice accretion on building integrated photovoltaics - challenges, strategies, and opportunities
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)As building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) are becoming increasingly popular, the demand for optimized utilization will be increasing with respect to efficiency, aesthetics and reliability. In cold climate regions, we ... -
Avoiding Snow and Ice Formation on Exterior Solar Cell Surfaces - A Review of Research Pathways and Opportunities
(Integrating Data Science, Construction and Sustainability;ICSDEC 2016, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Today energy-efficient and energy-harvesting buildings experience an ever-increasing interest and demand. Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) may in this respect represent a powerful and versatile tool for reaching ... -
Bacterial Adhesion to Ultrafiltration Membranes: Role of Hydrophilicity, Natural Organic Matter, and Cell-Surface Macromolecules
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Insight into the mechanisms underlying bacterial adhesion is critical to the formulation of membrane biofouling control strategies. Using AFM-based single-cell force spectroscopy, we investigated the interaction between ... -
Bank Retreat and Streambank Morphology of a Meandering River during Summer and Single Flood Events in Northern Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)In recent years, advanced methods for measuring riverbank migration have been used to understand the process of river planform evolution. However, the role of the so-called outer secondary cell in the hydraulic pattern in ... -
Barriers and potential solutions to the diffusion of solar photovoltaics from the public-private-people partnership perspective – Case study of Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Norway is a major renewable energy developer in Europe, mainly through its development of hydropower. Research has shown that solar energy also has potential in Norway, however, the cumulative installed photovoltaic capacity ... -
Bedload Velocity and Backscattering Strength from Mobile Sediment Bed: A Laboratory Investigation Comparing Bistatic Versus Monostatic Acoustic Configuration
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Despite the many advantages of using active ultrasound sonars, recent studies have shown that the specific acoustic geometry, signal-processing configuration, and complex surface-volume scattering process at the riverbed ... -
Behaviour of 60-year-old trial embankments on peat
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The search for low cost solutions for roads on peatlands inspired the construction of four full scale trial embankments at two sites in Norway in the early 1960's. The embankments are still accessible and this work was ... -
Benchmarking the vibration velocity-based measurement methods to determine the radiated sound power from floor elements under impact excitation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The Rayleigh Integral Method, the Integral Transform Method and the Discrete Calculation Method are all vibration velocity-based measurement methods to determine the radiated sound power from planar objects. Even though ... -
The benefits of flushing for mitigating Legionella spp. in non-chlorinated building plumbing systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Flushing is a common corrective action recommended by Legionella management guidelines to remove stagnant water and replenish disinfectant. Due to water age and different local regulations, buildings may receive water with ... -
Best Value Approach (BVA) - Enhancing Value Creation in Construction Projects
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background: Research has revealed an inadequate understanding of the owners’ and users’ strategic objectives and a lack of methodology for translating these objectives into functional buildings. Fulfilment of owners’ and ... -
Best Value Procurement (BVP) in Norwegian Construction Projects
