Non-Destructive Activation of Pine Wood (Picea Abies)
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IEP/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-15)This study investigates a novel technique of non-destructive activation(NDA) of Pine wood (Picea Abies) via the aid of chemical activation in the presence of a metal additive. Two additives (Cu and Al) were considered in ... -
Non-equilibrium quantum field dynamics in the early Universe
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Inflation is the leading paradigm of early Universe cosmology. It provides compelling explanations of the observed near-homogeneity of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, the spatial flatness of the Universe ... -
Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) of pressure vessels
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKM/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-09-14)The aim of this thesis is to identify and recommend vessels that are suitable for inspection according the NII methodology, DNV-RP-G103. The theoretical guideline used during the analysis, DNV-RP-G103, was chosen since it ... -
Non-linear buckling analysis of ship hull stiffened panels
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Stiffened panels are crucial in maritime applications, where buckling is a primary structural failure concern. Typically, assessing the buckling capacity of these panels relies on established guidelines like DNV-RP-C201 ... -
Non-linear buckling analysis of stiffened panels
(Master thesis, 2022)Nonlinear buckling capacity analysis has become a reliable practice in order to investigate the buckling capacities for cases that do not fall into the scope of the traditional standards. DNV has issued the recommended ... -
Non-linear finite element analysis of tubular X joint with selected geometry
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKM/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)“Tubular Joints” play a very important and quite vital role in most of the marine structures; we can see maybe hundreds of them in every even simple jacket or steel platforms. It is obvious that having full control about ... -
Non-normal Data Simulation using Piecewise Linear Transforms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)We present PLSIM, a new method for generating nonnormal data with a pre-specified covariance matrix that is based on coordinate-wise piecewise linear transformations of standard normal variables. In our presentation, the ... -
Non-precious metal activated MoSi2N4 monolayers for high-performance OER and ORR electrocatalysts: A first-principles study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Developing high-performance electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is crucial for energy conversion and storage. Recently, a new type of two-dimensional material MoSi2N4 ... -
The non-substitutability of local news? Advertising and the decline of journalism's umbrella market model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-02)This article addresses the challenges facing local newspapers as the digital economy transitions to artificial intelligence (AI). We interview five CEOs of Scandinavian newspaper corporations, representing small, mid-sized, ... -
Nonequilibrium attractor in high-temperature QCD plasmas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)We establish the existence of a far-from-equilibrium attractor in weakly coupled gauge theory undergoing one-dimensional Bjorken expansion. We demonstrate that the resulting far-from-equilibrium evolution is insensitive ... -
Nonlinear analysis of a space frame subjected to loading from dropped objects
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKM/2009, Master thesis, 2009)There is always a risk of an object being dropped during offshore lifting operations. Any underlying structure or equipment might be severely damaged, and in worst case, lives might be lost. Consequently, structures which ... -
Nonlinear fatigue life prediction model based on the theory of the S-N fatigue damage envelope
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)A nonlinear model is proposed in light of the theory of isodamage curves, to assess the cumulative fatigue damage under multistage loading. The isodamage curves were developed through the theory of the S-N fatigue damage ... -
Nonperturbative analysis of the electroweak phase transition in the two Higgs doublet model
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-11)We perform a nonperturbative study of the electroweak phase transition (EWPT) in the two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) by deriving a dimensionally reduced high-temperature effective theory for the model, and matching to known ... -
Nonpolymeric Citramide-Based Kinetic Hydrate Inhibitors: Good Performance with Just Six Alkylamide Groups
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The use of kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) is a well-known method for preventing gas hydrate formation in oil and gas production flow lines. The main ingredient in KHI formulations is one or more polymers with amphiphilic ... -
Nonrelativistic effective field theories with enhanced symmetries and soft behavior
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)We systematically explore the landscape of nonrelativistic effective field theories with a local S-matrix and enhanced symmetries and soft behavior. The exploration is carried out using both conventional quantum field ... -
Nordic approaches to evaluation and assessment in early childhood education and care
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-06)This paper presents and discusses the findings of a collaborative investigation into Nordic approaches to evaluation and assessment in early childhood education and care. The project explored values and principles that ... -
Nordic cuisine as a tool of Nation Brand
(Bachelor thesis, 2021)New Nordic cuisine has been studied with the main objective to contribute to the research field of integrating the Norwegian food culture into the nation branding of Norway. The study conducts a detailed description of ... -
Nordic populists as hegemony challengers
