The Generalized Contrast-to-Noise Ratio: A Formal Definition for Lesion Detectability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In the last 30 years, the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) has been used to estimate the contrast and lesion detectability in ultrasound images. Recent studies have shown that the CNR cannot be used with modern beamformers, ... -
Psykoedukativ undervisning om biopsykososial mestring av fødselssmerter for kvinner med fødselsangst - utvikling, utprøving og resultater
(Master thesis, 2018)Background: Many women suffer from fear of childbirth (FOC). FOC may have negative effects on both mother and child before, during and after the birth. This makes it important to develop effective treatment strategies for ... -
Self-Reinforced Polypropylene Composites based on Discontinuous Tapes - An Experimental and Numerical Study of the Influence of Tape Length
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The creation of highly oriented, coextruded polypropylene (PP) tapes allows the production of recyclable self-reinforced polypropylene (SRPP) or all-PP composites, with a large temperature processing window and high volume ... -
Determinants of tree seedling establishment in alpine tundra
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Questions Changes in climate and herbivory pressure affect northern alpine ecosystems through woody plant encroachment, altering their composition, structure and functioning. The encroachment often occurs at unequal rates ... -
Norwegian upper secondary students’ experiences of their teachers’ assessment of and for learning in physical education: examining how assessment is interpreted by students of different physical abilities
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Teachers’ assessment enhances students’ learning in many situations in physical education (PE). The present study aims to examine the issue of potential unequal assessment of students due to their different physical abilities ... -
EvoDynamic: A Framework for the Evolution of Generally Represented Dynamical Systems and Its Application to Criticality
(Chapter, 2020)Dynamical systems possess a computational capacity that may be exploited in a reservoir computing paradigm. This paper presents a general representation of dynamical systems which is based on matrix multiplication. That ... -
Nanoscale modelling of combined isotropic and kinematic hardening of 6000 series aluminium alloys
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Kinematic hardening is incorporated into a nanoscale model for 6000 series aluminium alloys consisting of three sub-models describing in turn precipitation of hardening particles, yield strength and work hardening. The ... -
Experimental investigation of ASR-affected concrete – The influence of uniaxial loading on the evolution of mechanical properties, expansion and damage indices
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The alkali silica reaction (ASR) in concrete causes internal localized swelling and micro cracking, which result in expansion and correlated deterioration of the concrete material. The stress state of the concrete is known ... -
Whole-genome sequencing analysis of the cardiometabolic proteome
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The human proteome is a crucial intermediate between complex diseases and their genetic and environmental components, and an important source of drug development targets and biomarkers. Here, we comprehensively assess the ... -

Application of Soft Data in Nodule Resource Estimation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Minerals and metals are of uttermost importance in our society, and mineral resources on and beneath the deep ocean floor represent a huge potential. Deciding whether mining from the deep ocean floor is financially, ... -
Alcohol‐attributed disease burden in four Nordic countries between 2000 and 2017: Are the gender gaps narrowing? A comparison using the Global Burden of Disease, Injury and Risk Factor 2017 study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Introduction and Aims The gender difference in alcohol use seems to have narrowed in the Nordic countries, but it is not clear to what extent this may have affected differences in levels of harm. We compared gender ... -
GHG emission requirements and benchmark values in Norwegian building codes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)As a response to the Paris agreement, Norway is committed to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50 percent by 2030. Highly energy-efficient buildings have a greater proportion of embodied GHG emissions from material ... -
Teachers’ conceptions and uses of student collaboration in the classroom
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background The ability to collaborate is a central competence that students need to be taught in school, in order to prepare them for the social and work realities that they will face in the 21st century. Research shows ... -
Sandwich panels with polymeric foam cores exposed to blast loading: An experimental and numerical investigation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Sandwich panels have proven to be excellent energy absorbents. Such panels may be used as a protective structure in, for example, façades subjected to explosions. In this study, the dynamic response of sandwich structures ... -
Added Resistance and Speed Loss of a Ship Found Using Onboard Monitoring Data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Prediction of the added resistance or corresponding speed loss in real sea conditions is essential to evaluate the performance of a ship. Assessment of the environmental impact on vessel performance is essential for route ... -
