Assessment of parameters effectiveness in the reserve estimation methods applicable to coal bed methane reservoirs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The reserve estimation of coal bed methane (CBM) reservoirs is ascertained through the analytical methods (volumetric method, material balance equation and decline curve analysis). However, the adoption of reserve estimation ... -
Estimating diagnostic uncertainty in artificial intelligence assisted pathology using conformal prediction
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Unreliable predictions can occur when an artificial intelligence (AI) system is presented with data it has not been exposed to during training. We demonstrate the use of conformal prediction to detect unreliable predictions, ... -
A method for assessing drilling fluid induced formation damage in permeable formations using ceramic discs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)When drilling an oil and gas or geothermal well, the formation's ability to produce or flow may be reduced because of exposure to the drilling fluid during the drilling operation. To evaluate such formation damage, core ... -
Association of CSF Glucocerebrosidase Activity With the Risk of Incident Dementia in Patients With Parkinson Disease
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background and Objectives Variations in the glucocerebrosidase gene (GBA) are common risk factors for Parkinson disease (PD) and dementia in PD (PDD) and cause a reduction in the activity of the lysosomal enzyme ... -
Electron channeling studies of atom site preference and distribution in doped Mg2Si1-xSnx thermoelectrics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The electron channeling effect, i.e., the dependence of the characteristic x-ray emission on the crystallographic direction of the incoming beam in an analytical transmission electron microscope was employed to elucidate ... -
Offshore tethered platform springing response statistics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)This paper demonstrates the validity of the Naess–Gadai method for extrapolating extreme value statistics of second-order Volterra series processes through application on a representative model of a deep water small size ... -
Modeling Patient Flow in an Emergency Department under COVID-19 Pandemic Conditions: A Hybrid Modeling Approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Emergency departments (EDs) had to considerably change their patient flow policies in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Such changes affect patient crowding, waiting time, and other qualities related to patient care and ... -
Comparative study of indirect tensile test and uniaxial compression test on asphalt mixtures: Dynamic modulus and stress-strain state
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Dynamic modulus is an essential parameter for the performance characterisation of asphalt materials for performance prediction and pavement design. The Indirect Tensile (IDT) test and the Uniaxial Compression (UC) test are ... -
Life cycle assessment of tomato production for different production strategies in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The availability of fresh vegetables grown in greenhouses under controlled conditions throughout the year has given rise to concerns about their impact on the environment. In high latitude countries such as Norway, greenhouse ... -
Integrated biorefineries for repurposing of food wastes into value-added products
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Food waste (FW) generated through various scenarios from farm to fork causes serious environmental problems when either incinerated or disposed inappropriately. The presence of significant amounts of carbohydrates, proteins, ... -
Renewable energy in fisheries and aquaculture: Case studies from the United States
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Fisheries and aquaculture are highly reliant on fossil fuels and must transition to renewable energy to reduce carbon emissions and meet global planetary heath goals. Here, we assessed total and renewable energy use in ... -
Who Said What: A Multi-Country Content Analysis of European Health Organisations’ COVID-19 Social Media Communication
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Objectives: As a risk communication tool, social media was mobilised at an unprecedented level during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study examined health authorities’ risk communication on social media in response to the ... -
Identifying Opportunities for Aligning Production and Consumption in the U.S. Fisheries by Considering Seasonality
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Seasonality is a natural feature of wild caught fisheries that introduces variation in food supply, and which often is amplified by fisheries management systems. Seasonal timing of landings patterns and linkages to consumption ... -
Polar Ship Design and Operations: Past, Present, and Future
(Chapter, 2022)From an early emphasis on geographic exploration and exploitation of the resources in the polar offshore area (by hunting for walrus ivory teeth, seals, and whales), the focus is currently shifting toward the sustainable ... -
Towards robust autonomous driving systems through adversarial test set generation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Correct environmental perception of objects on the road is vital for the safety of autonomous driving. Making appropriate decisions by the autonomous driving algorithm could be hindered by data perturbations and more ... -
Affordability influences nutritional quality of seafood consumption among income and race/ethnicity groups in the United States
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background The 2020 US Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that the US population consume more seafood. Most analyses of seafood consumption ignore heterogeneity in consumption patterns by species, nutritional ... -
Unfrozen Skewed Turbulence for Wind Loading on Structures
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The paper introduces an algorithm to generate a three-variate four-dimensional wind turbulence field suited for yawed wind dynamic load simulation. At large yaw angles, a relaxation of Taylor’s hypothesis of frozen turbulence ... -
Influence of Sandstone Mineralogy on the Adsorption of Polar Crude Oil Components and Its Effect on Wettability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The crude oil–brine–rock (COBR) system is a combination of contacting phases where polar organic molecules in crude oil, inorganic ions from the brine phase, and charged mineral surfaces participate in complex interactions. ... -
Tuning of the Dielectric Relaxation and Complex Susceptibility in a System of Polar Molecules: A Generalised Model Based on Rotational Diffusion with Resetting
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The application of the fractional calculus in the mathematical modelling of relaxation processes in complex heterogeneous media has attracted a considerable amount of interest lately. The reason for this is the successful ... -
Skeletons, Object Shape, Statistics
