Exploring the link between the EU emissions trading system and net-zero emission neighbourhoods
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Climate policy is transforming the energy system and the building sector. Since these sectors overlap, we need to understand how the short-term operational link between them impact their long-term development subject to ... -
Exploring the need for a CERT for the Norwegian Construction Sector
(Chapter, 2023)This paper presents an empirical study on the need for sector-specific CERT capacity in the Norwegian construction sector. Findings from the interviews demonstrate a need for developing competence in ICT security in this ... -
Exploring the Potential for Use of Virtual Reality Technology in the Treatment of Severe Mental Illness Among Adults in Mid-Norway: Collaborative Research Between Clinicians and Researchers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Virtual reality (VR) technology is not currently used in the treatment of severe mental health illness in Norway. Objective: We aimed to explore the potential of VR as a treatment for severe mental health ... -
Exploring the Relationship Between Food Insecurity, Gender Roles and HIV/AIDS Among Tonga Carers of Disabled Children of Binga in Zimbabwe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Many people are reluctant to access voluntary counselling and testing services for fear of stigma and the implications of death often associated with a positive HIV diagnosis. This study however noted how Tonga females ... -
Exploring the Use of Technology for Active Aging and Thriving
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The study explores how older adults with limited digital experience become users of tablet computers (iPad) with Internet access, and how the tablet computers become part of their daily life facilitating active aging and ... -
Exploring wait time variations in a prostate cancer patient pathway—A qualitative study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Norwegian health authorities emphasise that all citizens should have equal access to healthcare and implement cancer patient pathways (CPPs) to ensure medical care for all patients within the same time frame and to avoid ... -
An exponential time-differencing method for monotonic relaxation systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)We present first and second-order accurate exponential time differencing methods for a special class of stiff ODEs, denoted as monotonic relaxation ODEs. Some desirable accuracy and robustness properties of our methods are ... -
Exposure to Bioaerosols during Fish Processing on Board Norwegian Fishing Trawlers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Objectives:The main objective was to gain more knowledge on exposure to bioaerosols in the processing area on board fishing trawlers. Methods: Exposure sampling was carried out during the work shifts when processing ... -
Exposure to ultrafine particles in the ferroalloy industry using a logbook method
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: It is difficult to assess workers’ exposure to ultrafine particles (UFP) due to the lack of personal sampling equipment available for this particle fraction. The logbook method has been proposed as a general ... -
Extending the Lin-Kernighan algorithm to improve solutions to VRPs with Time Windows
(Research report, 2009)Helsgaun’s implementation of the Lin-Kernighan algorithm (LKH) is an effective heuristic solver for the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). The report presents an extension of LKH to support time windows, i.e., to a solver ... -
Extracellular vesicles in patients in the acute phase of psychosis and after clinical improvement: an explorative study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-derived structures that transport proteins, lipids and nucleic acids between cells, thereby affecting the phenotype of the recipient cell. As the content of EVs reflects the status of ... -
Extracts of pine bark (Pinus sylvestris) inhibit Cryptosporidium parvum growth in cell culture
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The widespread apicomplexan parasite Cryptosporidium parvum is responsible for severe gastrointestinal disease in humans and animals. The treatment options are limited, and the efficacy of available drugs is low. Bark ... -
Extremum Seeking With Enhanced Convergence Speed for Optimization of Time-Varying Steady-State Behavior of Industrial Motion Stages
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Recently, an extremum-seeking control (ESC) approach has been developed for optimization of generically time-varying steady-state responses of nonlinear systems. A generic filter structure was introduced, the so-called ... -
