Meaning making for psychological adjustment and quality of life in older long-term breast cancer survivors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Objectives: This study aims to explore in depth the meaning and meaning discrepancies among older Norwegian breast cancer survivors in light of the meaning making model by Park (2013). Design: We utilized a qualitative ... -
Organizational Factors Affecting Successful Implementation of Chatbots for Customer Service
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)While chatbots have become an important part of customer service operations, there is a knowledge gap concerning organizational aspects of chatbot implementation and management. In response to this gap, we present a study ... -
Comparing Deep Reinforcement Learning Algorithms’ Ability to Safely Navigate Challenging Waters
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Reinforcement Learning (RL) controllers have proved to effectively tackle the dual objectives of path following and collision avoidance. However, finding which RL algorithm setup optimally trades off these two tasks is not ... -
Self-organising map based framework for investigating accounts suspected of money laundering
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)There has been an emerging interest by financial institutions to develop advanced systems that can help enhance their anti-money laundering (AML) programmes. In this study, we present a self-organising map (SOM) based ... -
Reduced order models for finite-volume simulations of turbulent flow around wind-turbine blades
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The computational cost of the design optimisation of wind turbines, as well as the optimisation of the operation and maintenance of offshore wind farms represents a limitation to the application of conventional simulation ... -
The Use of Wearable Sensor Technology to Detect Shock Impacts in Sports and Occupational Settings: A Scoping Review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Shock impacts during activity may cause damage to the joints, muscles, bones, or inner organs. To define thresholds for tolerable impacts, there is a need for methods that can accurately monitor shock impacts in real-life ... -
Silicon Metalens Fabrication from Electron Beam to UV-Nanoimprint Lithography
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This study presents the design and manufacture of metasurface lenses optimized for focusing light with 1.55 µm wavelength. The lenses are fabricated on silicon substrates using electron beam lithography, ultraviolet-nanoimprint ... -
Metasurface Fabrication by Cryogenic and Bosch Deep Reactive Ion Etching
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The research field of metasurfaces has attracted considerable attention in recent years due to its high potential to achieve flat, ultrathin optical devices of high performance. Metasurfaces, consisting of artificial ... -
How does general practitioner discontinuity affect healthcare utilisation? An observational cohort study of 2.4 million Norwegians 2007-2017
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Objectives: Patients may benefit from continuity of care by a personal physician general practitioner (GP), but there are few studies on consequences of a break in continuity of GP. Investigate how a sudden discontinuity ... -
Efficient adjoint-based well-placement optimization using flow diagnostics proxies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Model-based optimization of placement and trajectories of wells in petroleum reservoirs by the means of reservoir simulation forecasts is computationally demanding due to the high number of simulations typically required ... -
Sound signals to improve evacuation in road tunnels
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Although visual signage is the most common means of evacuation support in road tunnel emergencies, these can be of little help when there is dense smoke product of a fire. In such cases, auditory messages can lead evacuees ... -
Enhancing Learning and Collaboration in Organisations through In-house Crowdsourcing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Learning and innovation are central to organisations’ development. Insights and innovative ideas occur to individuals. However, learning in organisations takes place at several levels which include individuals, groups, and ... -
Smart Journey Mining for Improved Service Quality
