A discussion of Basel II and operational risk in context of risk perspectives
(Conference object, 2014-03)The Basel II Capital Accord, established in 2007, provides guidelines on management of operational risk including requirements for regulatory capital. In the quantitative analysis of operational risk the guidelines require ... -
Activity-Oriented Petri Net for scheduling of resources
(Conference object, 2012-10)This work presents a new methodology for modeling discrete systems in which activities compete for resources. The new methodology known as Activity-Oriented Petri Net (AOPN) allows modelers to concentrate on modeling ... -
Digital humanities : why worry about reading?
(Nobel Symposium;147, Chapter; Conference object, 2011)In this study, interviews reveal that sustained discontinuous reading constitutes a distinctive reading characteristic among humanist scholars. Preferring paper to screen, scholars actively use their hands in flicking, ... -
Encircling the living space of early postglacial reindeer hunters in the interior of southern Norway
(Chapter; Conference object, 2003)Seven tent rings, six evident and one analytically segregated, found on sites at Store Myrvatnet and Store Fløyrlivatnet in the mountains of SW Norway, are presented. C14-dated between c. 9600 and 9000 uncal. BP these range ... -
Facing suffering and death : Alternative therapy as post-secular religious practice

Is Norway an information society?
(Conference object, 2010)Information Society can be loosely defined as a society integrated by complex communication networks that rapidly develop and exchange information. Information society is becoming an earthly phenomenon and the goal of every ... -
Mesolithic man and the rising sea spotlighted by three tapes-transgressed sites in SW Norway
(Chapter; Conference object, 1995)The Holocene (Tapes) transgression in West Norway, which started c. 900 y b.p. and ended between 6700 and 4500 b.p., did not invariably disturb Mesolithic coast-line situated settlement sites. In SW Norway, several sites, ... -
A multiple-source air quality control model achieving a standard, defined by a vector-valued function
(Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2009-07)Earlier papers by Gustafson, Kortanek, Sweigart and others describe models for controlling air pollution, consisting of chemically inert pollutants like sulphur dioxide. It was assumed that the concentration contributions ... -
Pion condensation and the QCD phase diagram at finite isospin density
(Conference object; Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-08)We use the Polyakov-loop extended two-flavor quark-meson model as a low-energy effective model for QCD to study 1) the possibility of inhomogeneous chiral condensates and its competition with a homogeneous pion condensate ... -
Prehistoric reindeer hunting in the southern Norwegian highlands
(Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2008)In contrast to the European alpine areas and lowland plains, where Rangifer tarandus L. became extinct during the final Late Glacial, the species has survived in a wild state in relatively unchanged natural environments ... -
Representing Resources in Petri Net Models: Hardwiring or Soft-coding?
(Conference object, 2011)This paper presents an interesting design problem in developing a new tool for discrete-event dynamic systems (DEDS). A new tool known as GPenSIM was developed for modeling and simulation of DEDS; GPenSIM is based on Petri ... -
Revisiting Petri Net Modeling of the Cigarette Smokers' Problem: A GPenSIM Approach
(Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2013-11)Petri Nets is a family of modeling formalisms, with different interpretations and abstraction levels; the Petri nets family of modeling formalisms includes ordinary Petri Net, generalized Petri Net, and also all other ... -

Security risk management in Norwegian aviation meets nordic traditions of risk management
(Conference object, 2012)The risk management systems in the Norwegian aviation sector in the aftermath of 9/11 have been a top down process characterised by rapidity and secrecy and there has been little local and national risk assessment involved ... -
The Mesolithic of Western Norway : prevailing problems and possibilities
(Chapter; Conference object, 1995)The landscape and settlement development in West Norway until c. 5200 y. b.p. is broadly outlined. An evaluation of the source material reveals lacunaes which delimit detailed information on topics such as daily life, ...
