Comparative MFA of protein rich aquafeed ingredients: can Norwegian seaweed dethrone Brazilian soybean?
(Master thesis, 2017)Improving sustainability in agriculture and aquaculture production systems is paramount to global food security and maintaining healthy, diverse ecosystems. One way to reduce pressure on terrestrial food production systems ... -
Comparing individual and coordinated demand response with dynamic and static power grid tariffs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This paper investigates cost-optimal operation of flexible electricity assets with a capacity-based power grid tariff involving power subscription. The purpose of this research is to identify the characteristics of a ... -
Comparing PM2.5, respirable dust, and total dust fractions using real-time and gravimetric samples in an exposure chamber study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Using an exposure chamber, we investigate the precision of the DustTrak DRX monitor by comparing its results to those obtained from taking traditional gravimetric samples of two stone minerals commonly used in asphalt and ... -
Comparing the primary energy and phosphorus consumption of soybean and seaweed-based aquafeed proteins – A material and substance flow analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This study compares the environmental performances of two protein sources for aquafeed production: Brazilian soy protein and Norwegian seaweed protein concentrates. The efficiency and sustainability of these two production ... -
Comparison of four nanoparticle monitoring instruments relevant for occupational hygiene applications
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background The aim of this study is to make a comparison of a new small sized nanoparticle monitoring instrument, Nanoscan SMPS, with more traditional large size instruments, known to be precise and accurate [Scanning ... -
Comparison of Three Real-Time Measurement Methods for Airborne Ultrafine Particles in the Silicon Alloy Industry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)The aim of this study was to compare the applicability and the correlation between three commercially available instruments capable of detection, quantification, and characterization of ultrafine airborne particulate matter ... -
Comparison of trihalomethanes in the air of two Indoor swimming pool facilities using different type of chlorination and different types of water
(Journal article, 2017)Certain aspects of the distribution of disinfection by-products (DBPs) in the air of indoor swimming pools, the exposure of the users, and possible health effects, have not been well documented. To determine the distribution ... -
Competitive sustainable manufacturing - Sustainability strategies, environmental and social innovations, and their effects on firm performance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)It is important for practitioners, policymakers, and scholars to understand how the adoption of sustainability strategies and innovations influence firms’ overall performance. Practitioners obviously seek knowledge of the ... -
Complexity in Engineering R&D Projects.
(Master thesis, 2013)The Literature is busying itself much with the subject of complexities in project work from the early 2000. There are many definitions proposed about complexity, but still no one suggested the unique one way to name it, ... -
Compliance with requirements versus situation-based adaptions to work operations in the construction industry
(Master thesis, 2013)This thesis studied two different safety approaches in the sharp end at a large Norwegian construction company; compliance with requirements versus situation-based adaption (resilience) to work operations. The research ... -
Composing vessel fleets for maintenance at offshore wind farms by solving a dual-level stochastic programming problem using GRASP
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background: Dual-level stochastic programming is a technique that allows modelling uncertainty at two different levels, even when the time granularity differs vastly between the levels. In this paper we study the problem ... -
Compression and expansion at the right pinch temperature
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Heat Integration is extended to the topic of Heat and Work Integration when pressure changing equipment such as compressors and expanders are included in heat exchanger network design. The latter topic is much more complex ... -
Compression and Expansion at the Right Pinch Temperature
(Chapter, 2017)Heat Integration is extended to the topic of Heat and Work Integration when pressure changing equipment such as compressors and expanders are included in heat exchanger network design. The latter topic is much more complex ... -
Conceiving a Lean and Participative Project Management Framework Suited to Large-Scale Scientific Projects:: How to Adapt Existing Systems Engineering and Project Management Best Practices to CERN's Projects?
(Master thesis, 2013)The use of project management methodologies has increased within most sectors the recent years. While project management earlier was an optional asset to an organization, the discipline is increasingly acknowledged as a ... -
A Conceptual Framework for Determining the Economically Optimal Level of Microgrid Resilience
(Chapter, 2022)Microgrids are considered to be an effective measure for resilience due to their ability to operate in island mode during a power outage and to ensure continuity of supply. Current standard frameworks for microgrid resilience ... -
Conditional value at risk optimization using vines - The effect of complex modelling on input error in portfolio optimization
(Master thesis, 2016)In this paper, a complex modelling technique, vine modelling, is compared with the Monte Carlo method to test whether it reduces the sensitivity to errors in inputs for CVaR portfolio optimization. The sensitivity to errors ... -
