Best practice for Games Design: Guidelines for ensuring quality
(Master thesis, 2009)The gaming industry is getting bigger for each year and new games hit the market almost every week. But what makes a game a success or a flop? In the end it is the users, gamers, that have decide if they think a game is ... -
Better coding for learning speech representations
(Master thesis, 2022)I denne oppgaven er muligheten for å bruke Non-autoregressive Predictive Coding (NPC) til å lære talerepresentasjoner undersøkt. NPC er en selv-overvåket dyp-læringsmetode som, i motsetning til andre vanlige selv-overvåkede ... -
Beyond the 2D limit: étendue-squeezing line-focus solar concentrators
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Line-focus solar concentrators are commonly designed by extruding a two-dimensional concentrator in the third dimension. For concentration in air, these concentrators are, by the nature of their design, limited by the ... -
Beyond the Self: Using Grounded Affordances to Interpret and Describe Others' Actions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)We propose a developmental approach that allows a robot to interpret and describe the actions of human agents by reusing previous experience. The robot first learns the association between words and object affordances by ... -
Bi vacancy formation in BiFeO3 epitaxial thin films under compressive (001)-strain from first principles
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Point defects in BiFeO3 affect both structural and functional properties. To elucidate the role of single Bi vacancies and Bi–O vacancy pairs we investigate their stability and effect on structural and ferroelectric ... -
Bildetransmisjon basert på 2D-nedsampling og shannonavbildninger
(Master thesis, 2006)I følge rate-distorsjonsteorien skal de deler av et signalspektra som faller under støynivået ikke overføres. Dersom signalspekteret er monotont avtakende, kan signalet i slike tilfeller lavpassfiltreres og nedsamples. I ... -
Bilirubin estimates from smartphone images of newborn infants’ skin correlated highly to serum bilirubin levels
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Aim Neonatal jaundice is an important cause of morbidity and mortality, and identifying the condition remains a challenge. This study evaluated a novel method of estimating bilirubin levels from colour‐calibrated ... -
Binaural Reproduction of Higher Order Ambisonics - A Real-Time Implementation and Perceptual Improvements
(Master thesis, 2014)During the last decade, Higher Order Ambisonics has become a popular way of capturing and reproducing sound fields. It can be combined with the theory of spherical microphone arrays to record sound fields, and this ... -
Biocompatible bonding of a rigid off-stoichiometry thiol-ene-epoxy polymer microfluidic cartridge to a biofunctionalized silicon biosensor
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022) -
Biomedical Applications of Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy and Hyperspectral Imaging
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181, Doctoral thesis, 2010)Optical measurement techniques have a large potential as diagnostic tools in medicine. This thesis covers multiple biomedical applications of optical spectroscopy and hyperspectral imaging. Main topics have been monitoring ... -
Biomedical applications of multifunctional magnetoelectric nanoparticles
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Advances in nanotechnology are impacting biomedicine with the potential to improve disease diagnosis, enhance targeted drug delivery, refine imaging of therapeutic responses, control cell and tissue responses, and guide ... -
Biomedisinske sensornettverk basert på Ultra Wide Band impulsradio og IEEE 802.15.4/Zigbee
(Master thesis, 2007)Ved behandling og restitusjon av pasienter må pasientenes kroppfunksjoner overvåkes. Typiske funksjoner som må overvåkes er blodtrykk og elektrokardiogram. Dette er til nå gjort ved kabelbaserte løsninger og en overgang ... -
Blind deconvolution based equalizer for underwater acoustic communications
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Reliable and efficient underwater acoustic communications are challenging problems because of complex underwater channel properties. With the recent advancements in underwater technologies, there is a need for a robust ... -
Blind Source Separation Using Temporal Correlation, Non-Gaussianity and Conditional Heteroscedasticity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Independent component analysis separates latent sources from a linear mixture by assuming sources are statistically independent. In real world applications, hidden sources are usually non-Gaussian and have dependence among ... -
Blood Glucose Control Using a Novel Continuous Blood Glucose Monitor and Repetitive Intravenous Insulin Boluses: Exploiting Natural Insulin Pulsatility as a Principle for a Future Artificial Pancreas
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)The aim of this study was to construct a glucose regulatory algorithm by employing the natural pulsatile pattern of insulin secretion and the oscillatory pattern of resting blood glucose levels and further to regulate the ... -
Boundary Conditions and Fresnel Equations for Weakly Spatially Dispersive Media
(Master thesis, 2017)Although usually negligible for natural materials for optical and lower frequencies, spatial dispersion is a significant effect for metamaterials. In this thesis the electromagnetics of such media are investigated using a ... -
Bowel Sounds Localisation
(Master thesis, 2021)En lokalisering av tarmlyder på fire forskjellige deler av magen ble realisert. For å oppnå lokalisereringen, ble det konstruert en binær klassifikator ved hjelp av en støttevektormaskin og en enklere klassifikator basert ... -
