Multi-basin and regional calibration based identification of distributed precipitation–runoff models for hourly runoff simulation: calibration and transfer of full and partial parameters
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Identification of distributed precipitation–runoff models for hourly runoff simulation based on transfer of full parameters (FP) and partial parameters (PP) are lacking for boreal mid-Norway. We evaluated storage–discharge ... -
Multi-criteria analysis applied to environmental impacts of hydropower and water resources regulation projects
(Report;, Research report, 2013) -
Multi-criteria decision analysis in Bayesian networks - diagnosing ecosystem service trade-offs in a hydropower regulated river
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The paper demonstrates the use of Bayesian networks in multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) of environmental design alternatives for environmental flows (eflows) and physical habitat remediation measures in the Mandalselva ... -
Multi-directional Irregular Wave Modelling with CFD
(Chapter, 2019)The design of coastal structures requires accurate simulations of the wave conditions. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) captures most complexities of the wave physics with few assumptions and therefore is considered to ... -
Multi-Functional Building Envelopes: Key Properties, State-of-the-Art Technologies and Visions for the Future
(Master thesis, 2012)A broad and original definition of the building envelope is given as a shelter aiming at controlling various fluxes in the building. This paper reviews the underlying key properties ruling the phenomena enabling the ... -
Multi-objective optimization of a nearly zero-energy building based on thermal and visual discomfort minimization using a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-07-06)Multi-objective optimization methods provide a valid support to buildings’ design. They aim at identifyingthe most promising building variants on the basis of diverse and potentially contrasting needs. However,optimization ... -
Multi-Objective Optimization of Building Energy Design to Reconcile Collective and Private Perspectives: CO2-eq vs. Discounted Payback Time
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Building energy design is a multi-objective optimization problem where collective and private perspectives conflict each other. For instance, whereas the collectivity pursues the minimization of environmental impact, the ... -
Multi-Scale Entropy Analysis as a Method for Time-Series Analysis of Climate Data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Evidence is mounting that the temporal dynamics of the climate system are changing at the same time as the average global temperature is increasing due to multiple climate forcings. A large number of extreme weather events ... -
Multi-sector partnerships in the urban development context: A scoping review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The existing research on urban development has gradually changed from policy-led management to multi-sector participation in co-design, aiming to create a more livable urban ecosystem. The goal of this paper is to identify ... -
Multi-sensor InSAR analysis of surface displacement over coastal urban city of Trondheim
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)In this study, we present maps of ground surface displacement of the coastal urban city of Trondheim in central Norway using observations from interferometry synthetic aperture radar (InSAR). We used 98 SAR images including ... -
Multi-temporal interferometry (MTI) techniques for ground deformation mapping using Sentinel-1 SAR data
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2019:153, Doctoral thesis, 2019)The multi-temporal interferometry (MTI) techniques, such as persistent scatterer interferometric synthetic aperture radar (PS-InSAR) and small baseline (SBAS) have proved to be powerful geodetic tools to measure deformations ... -
Multi-Temporal Satellite Image Composites in Google Earth Engine for Improved Landslide Visibility: A Case Study of a Glacial Landscape
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Regional early warning systems for landslides rely on historic data to forecast future events and to verify and improve alarms. However, databases of landslide events are often spatially biased towards roads or other ... -
Multidisciplinary design analysis and optimization of support structures for offshore wind turbines
(Master thesis, 2014)The purpose of this thesis was to implement complex optimization techniques developed in the aerospace industry for structural optimization of offshore wind turbine support structures. The OpenMDAO (Multidisciplinary ... -
Multiple solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations computing water flow in sand traps
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Two cases are presented wherein the main flow pattern in sand traps changes considerably as a function of discretization scheme, grid resolution and turbulence model. Both cases involve channel flows directed into a desilting ... -
Multiple-Use Water Services in Rural Sites in sub-Saharan Africa: Case study from the Hanang, Mbulu, and Mkalama districts in Tanzania
(Master thesis, 2020)I Tanzania bor 66 prosent av befolkningen i landlige områder hvor folk trenger vann til en rekke viktige bruksområder, alt fra drikking, hygiene og sanitet til matproduksjon og inntektsgenerering. Nåværende vannforsyning ... -
Multiscale modeling of wave propagation on the Norwegian Coast
(Master thesis, 2018)Fjords coastlines are attributed to glaciers as the main agent of erosion. Thus, fjords are characterised by an irregular coastline configuration and rapid changes in their deep and steep slopes. These features generate a ... -
Multivariate log-concave probability density class for structural reliability applications
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Structural reliability analysis is conventionally based on a description of uncertainty via a joint probability density function (JPDF). This paper builds on an alternative concept of working with a probability distribution ... -
