Recurrent Neural Networks for Artifact Correction in HRV Data During Physical Exercise
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)In this paper, we propose the use of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) for artifact correction and analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) data. HRV can be a valuable metric for determining the function of the heart and ... -
Experimental and numerical investigation of residual stresses in proximity girth welds
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)International fabrication codes and standards provide minimum distance criteria for proximity welds, although rigorous justification is lacking. These distances are either based on practical experience or mutual agreement ... -
Modeling and investigation of the performance of a solar-assisted ground-coupled CO2 heat pump for space and water heating
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The rise in the popularity of heat pumps should be accompanied by the increase in the utilization of environmentally-safe working fluids. To push for wider uptake of hybrid heat pump systems that use natural working fluids, ... -
Addressing challenges in uncertainty quantification: The case of geohazard assessments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)We analyse some of the challenges in quantifying uncertainty when using geohazard models. Despite the availability of recently developed, sophisticated ways to parameterise models, a major remaining challenge is constraining ... -
Kernel recursive least squares dictionary learning algorithm
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)An online dictionary learning algorithm for kernel sparse representation is developed in the current paper. In this framework, the input signal nonlinearly mapped into the feature space is sparsely represented based on a ... -
Dementia death rates prediction
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background Prevalence of dementia illness, causing certain morbidity and mortality globally, places burden on global public health. This study primary goal was to assess future risks of dying from severe dementia, given ... -
Investigation of the hydraulic integrity of cement plug: Oilwell cementitious materials
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The loss of hydraulic integrity in oil and gas wells due to the loss of cement sheath sealability can lead to environmental contamination, annular pressure build-up, and safety threats. In this study, we examine the hydraulic ... -
MRI data-driven clustering reveals different subtypes of Dementia with Lewy bodies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is a neurodegenerative disorder with a wide heterogeneity of symptoms, which suggests the existence of different subtypes. We used data-driven analysis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ... -
Novel methods for reliability study of multi-dimensional non-linear dynamic systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)This research presents two unique techniques for engineering system reliability analysis of multi-dimensional non-linear dynamic structures. First, the structural reliability technique works best for multi-dimensional ... -
Convolutional Neural Networks and Feature Fusion for Flow Pattern Identification of the Subsea Jumper
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The gas–liquid two-phase flow patterns of subsea jumpers are identified in this work using a multi-sensor information fusion technique, simultaneously collecting vibration signals and electrical capacitance tomography of ... -
Combined Effect of Citric Acid and Polyphenol-Rich Grape Seed Extract towards Bioactive Smart Food Packaging Systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-07)Alginate films (2% w·v−1) were prepared with varying concentrations (5–20% w/w) of citric acid and aqueous grape seed extract (GSE) filtrate (11.66 ± 1.32 g GAE/L) using the solvent-evaporation method. Crosslinking alginate ... -
Numerical study on vibratory extraction of offshore wind turbine monopile foundations under sandy seabed condition
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The wind industry has experienced a rapid growth in Europe over the last decades. The early generation turbines were designed for a life of 20–25 years. Decommissioning of offshore wind turbines is becoming more important ... -
Automatic AI-Driven segmentation of Acute Ischemic Stroke Regions with CT Perfusion Images
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2023)This thesis investigates artificial intelligence (AI) methodologies to automatically delineate ischemic areas of brain Computed Tomography Perfusion (CTP) scans acquired at hospital admission in patients suspected of acute ... -
Experimental investigation of laminar and turbulent displacement of residual oil film
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-11)Residual oil films on pipe walls are a common occurrence in industrial processes, and their presence can significantly impact system efficiency and performance. However, the mechanisms that govern oil film removal by an ... -
Prevalence of bradycardia in 4876 newborns in the first minute after birth and association with positive pressure ventilation: A population-based cross-sectional study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Objective To determine the prevalence of bradycardia in the first minute after birth and association with positive pressure ventilation (PPV). Method A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2019 ... -
An Attribute Perspective on Regulatory Regimes in Risk Governance
