Is Hygrothermal Aging of Construction Polymer Composites a Reversible Process?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This paper presents the effects of wet/dry cycling loading on the moisture uptake behavior of a Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite used in the civil engineering sector. FRP samples of various dimensions were cut from ... -
Is individual practice in an immersive and interactive virtual reality application non-inferior to practicing with traditional equipment in learning systematic clinical observation? A randomized controlled trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background The aim was to investigate if individual self-practice of the ABCDE approach (Airways, Breathing, Circulation, Disability, Exposure) in an immersive and interactive virtual reality (VR) application gave ... -
Is integration of Uncertainty Management and The Last Planner System a good idea?
(Chapter, 2018)The Last Planner System (LPS) is a tool for project planning and control, and is an important contribution from Lean Construction. LPS focuses on scheduling, task coordination and time management. Uncertainty Management ... -
Is interspecific gene flow and speciation in peatmosses (Sphagnum) constrained by phylogenetic relationship and life-history traits?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Peatmosses are interesting for studies of speciation processes not only because of their frequent hybridization and recent diversification, but also their phenotypic diversity, ecological importance and ancient history. ... -
Is intracranial volume a risk factor for IDH-mutant low-grade glioma? A case-control study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Purpose Risk of cancer has been associated with body or organ size in several studies. We sought to investigate the relationship between intracranial volume (ICV) (as a proxy for lifetime maximum brain size) and risk of ... -
Is it cognitive effort you measure? Comparing three task paradigms to the Need for Cognition scale
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Measuring individual differences in cognitive effort can be elusive as effort is a function of motivation and ability. We report six studies (N = 663) investigating the relationship of Need for Cognition and working memory ... -
Is it possible to detect an improvement in cancer pain management? A comparison of two Norwegian cross-sectional studies conducted 5 years apart.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Purpose: Cancer pain (CP) management is challenging. In recent years, efforts were undertaken to achieve better CP management, e.g. clinical research, new treatment modalities, development of guidelines, education, and ... -
Is it possible to measure the tensile strength and fracture toughness simultaneously using flattened Brazilian disk?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The Flattened Brazilian Disk test was designed for measuring both the tensile strength and fracture toughness of rocks. Using cohesive zone modelling, we found that the method is practically not suitable for extracting the ... -
Is It Possible to Supply Norwegian Apartment Blocks with 4th Generation District Heating?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Direct electricity is widely used for heating purposes in Norway, leading to significant strain on the electricity grid during the heating season. Conversion to 4th generation district heating (4GDH) is an effective method ... -
Is knowing how a natural kind?
(Chapter, 2023)Many philosophers think propositional attitudes like beliefs, desires, and states of knowledge that can only be properly attributed to language-using creatures and that explaining behaviour in terms of them is answerable ... -
Is literature data useful for identifying enzyme catalysts for new substrates? A case study on reduction of 1-aryl-2-alkanoates
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The use of literature data to identify catalysts for a novel transformation is a commonly used approach. Herein, we have evaluated if this is a viable strategy in enzyme catalysis, using asymmetric reduction of 1-aryl-2-alkanoates ... -
Is local always best? Social acceptance of small hydropower projects in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Small-scale development of renewable energy has been identified as one possible solution to meet future energy needs and is well aligned with the general European trend towards further development of community energy ... -
Is long-bout sedentary behaviour associated with long-Term glucose levels 3 months after acute ischaemic stroke? A prospective observational cohort study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background and purpose Sedentary behaviour is a risk factor for vascular disease and stroke patients are more sedentary than their age-matched peers. The association with glucose levels, as a potential mediator, is unclear, ... -
Is mental regulation related to self-esteem? Testing a basic metacognitive model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Individual differences in global self-esteem are associated with general psychological functioning and well-being, and lower self-esteem could be a target for prevention and treatment interventions. Traditionally, self-esteem ... -
Is meta-worry relevant to interpersonal problems? Testing the metacognitive model of generalized anxiety disorder in an analogue- and a clinical sample of GAD
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Interpersonal problems are common in individuals with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and improved interpersonal functioning is an important goal in treatment. In the metacognitive model of worry and generalized anxiety ... -
Is more data always better? A simulation study of benefits and limitations of integrated distribution models
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Species distribution models are popular and widely applied ecological tools. Recent increases in data availability have led to opportunities and challenges for species distribution modelling. Each data source has different ... -
