The battle against outsiderness: Translating gamer skills into corporate competencies
(Master thesis, 2024)Dette arbeidet hadde som formål å undersøke mulige løsninger til den økende mengden unge mennesker som faller utenfor arbeidslivet og utdanning. Arbeidet fulgte en pragmatisk og løsningsorientert fremgangsmåte, basert ... -
The bayesian pursuit algorithm: A new family of estimator learning automata
(Lecture Notes in Computer Science;6704, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2011)The fastest Learning Automata (LA) algorithms currently available come from the family of estimator algorithms. The Pursuit algorithm (PST), a pioneering scheme in the estimator family, obtains its superior learning speed ... -
The design of absorbing Bayesian pursuit algorithms and the formal analyses of their ε-optimality
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)The fundamental phenomenon that has been used to enhance the convergence speed of learning automata (LA) is that of incorporating the running maximum likelihood (ML) estimates of the action reward probabilities into the ... -
The development of the Norwegian wrasse fishery and the use of wrasses as cleaner fish in the salmon aquaculture industry
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Norway leads the world aquaculture production of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar and farmed Norwegian Atlantic salmon is currently consumed around the globe. However, sea lice infestation is a major problem faced by the salmon ... -
The differences between tutor and student perceptions of design elements in online courses
(Master thesis, 2017)The purpose of this study is to examine tutor and student perceptions of how design elements are implemented in online courses. The four elements collaboration, motivation, digital tools and course structure are discussed ... -
The Dreaming Variational Autoencoder for Reinforcement Learning Environments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Reinforcement learning has shown great potential in generalizing over raw sensory data using only a single neural network for value optimization. There are several challenges in the current state-of-the-art reinforcement ... -
The effect of feedstock origin and temperature on the structure and reactivity of char from pyrolysis at 1300–2800 °C
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This study reports the effect of feedstock origin, residence time, and heat treatment temperature on CO2 and O2 reactivities, nanostructure and carbon chemistry of chars prepared at 1300, 1600, 2400, and 2800 °C in a ... -
The effect of removing a natural migration barrier on a previously isolated population of Brown trout (Salmon trutta L.) – Kvåsfossen, Norway.
(Master thesis, 2023)In the years of 1970s and 1980s acidic rain threatened coastal freshwater fish populations in European rivers. Several fish populations in western and southern Norway were particularly affected including the Norwegian brown ... -
The effects of oil spills on marine fish: Implications of spatial variation in natural mortality
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The effects of oil spills on marine biological systems are of great concern, especially in regions with high biological production of harvested resources such as in the Northeastern Atlantic. The scientific studies of the ... -
The EU project “United4Health”: Results and experiences from automatic health status assessment in a Norwegian telemedicine trial system
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Introduction Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease require help in daily life situations to increase their individual perception of security, especially under worsened medical conditions. Unnecessary hospital ... -
The finding and dynamic detection of opinion leaders in social network
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)It is valuable for the real world to find the opinion leaders. Because different data sources usually have different characteristics, there does not exist a standard algorithm to find and detect the opinion leaders in ... -
The fundamental theory of optimal "Anti-Bayesian" parametric pattern classification using order statistics criteria
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)The gold standard for a classifier is the condition of optimality attained by the Bayesian classifier. Within a Bayesian paradigm, if we are allowed to compare the testing sample with only a single point in the feature ... -
The Gantry-Tau parallel kinematic machine-kinematic and elastodynamic design optimisation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)One of the main advantages of the Gantry-Tau machine is a large accessible workspace/footprint ratio compared to many other parallel machines. The optimal kinematic, elastostatic and elastodynamic design parameters of the ... -
The harp: a vehicle crash test apparatus for full-scale crash test experiments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)The current paper describes an apparatus for full-scale vehicle crash test experimentation. This apparatus is referred to as the harp. In brief, the harp may either accelerate a trolley which is impacted into a test vehicle ... -
