Improving construction site documentation based on cell phone and web technology
(Master thesis, 2010)In many construction companies it is a policy that all the work done on construction sites must be documented. By studying how the pilot customer documents their construction work, we found that their documentation methods ... -
Improving Energy Efficiency and Motion Control in Load-Carrying Applications using Self-Contained Cylinders
(Doctoral Dissertations at the University of Agder; no. 283, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Because of an increasing focus on environmental impact, including CO2 emissions and fluid spill pollution, inefficient hydraulic systems are being replaced by more environmentally friendly alternatives in several industries. ... -
Improving Energy Efficiency and Response Time of an Offshore Winch Drive with Digital Displacement Motors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Offshore winch drives require high energy efficiency and control precision, making digital displacement motors an attractive solution due to their high efficiency and potential controllability. However, the response time ... -
Improving performance of evolutionary algorithms with application to fuzzy control of truck backer-upper system
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)We propose a method to improve the performance of evolutionary algorithms (EA). The proposed approach defines operators which can modify the performance of EA, including Levy distribution function as a strategy parameters ... -

Improving the performance metric of wireless sensor networks with clustering Markov chain model and multilevel fusion
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)The paper proposes a performance metric evaluation for a distributed detection wireless sensor network with respect to IEEE 802.15.4 standard. A distributed detection scheme is considered with presence of the fusion node ... -
Improving the technical properties of recycled aggregates for road construction
(Doctoral Dissertations at the University of Agder; no. 428, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Sustainable construction, operation and maintenance of road infrastructure are currently of high priority in Norway. The development of the highway standards and specifications (e.g., N200) plays an important role, so that ... -
Improving understanding of logarithms by using the approach of repeated division
(Master thesis, 2016)Empirical evidence from research (Chua & Wood, 2005) and my own experience as a teacher point to the difficulties in teaching logarithms in schools. Students find logarithm related questions difficult. They see ‘log’ as a ... -
