Estimation of staff use efficiency: Evidence from the hospitality industry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)We analyze the extent to which hospitality firms overuse staff using a production function model which considers firm heterogeneity and accounts for environmental variables in staff use. We decompose overall staff use ... -
The molecular dialog between oomycete effectors and their plant and animal hosts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Oomycetes form a phylogenetically distinct group of eukaryotic microorganisms that include some of the most notorious pathogens of plants and animals. Through the deployment of a remarkably diverse array of effector proteins, ... -
Bioeconomic evaluation of extended season and year-round tomato production in Norway using supplemental light
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)CONTEXT For high latitude countries like Norway, one of the biggest challenges associated with greenhouse production is the limited availability of natural light and heat, particularly in winters. This can be addressed ... -
Comparison of intercept methods for correction of steady state relative permeability experiments for capillary end effects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Steady-state relative permeability experiments are performed by coinjection of two fluids through core plug samples. The relative permeabilities can be calculated using Darcy’s law from the stabilized pressure drop and ... -
Oxidative synthesis of ortho-quinones from hydroxy-PAHs by stabilized formulation of 2-iodoxybenzoic acid (SIBX)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Polycyclic aromatic phenols (PAPs or hydroxy-PAHs) are conveniently converted into their corresponding ortho-quinones using commercially available stabilized iodoxybenzoic acid (SIBX). SIBX provides a safer and commercially ... -
Stool Microbiota Diversity Analysis of Blastocystis-Positive and Blastocystis-Negative Individuals
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Blastocystis is a unicellular eukaryote found in the gastrointestinal tract of both human and other animal hosts. The clinical significance of colonic Blastocystis colonization remains obscure. In this study, we used ... -
Bridgeland Stability Conditions and the Hilbert Scheme of Skew Lines in Projective Space
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2023-03)Bridgeland stability conditions are powerful tools for studying derived categories, with several applications to algebraic geometry. They were introduced by Bridgeland in 2002 [Bri07], who was motivated by Douglas’ work ... -
Characterization of Annular Cement Permeability of a Logged Well Section Using Pressure-Pulse Decay Measurements
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The cement behind casings is an important barrier element in wells that should provide zonal isolation along the well. The hardened cement does not always isolate permeable formations, either due to placement issues or ... -
Sustainable industry and supply chain - what to teach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)How to teach students about development and sustainable operation of companies and supply chain are a complex task with several partly conflicting issues. Entrepreneurship business models are more different than sustainable ... -
Cases of real-life policies related to risk: how can they enhance risk analysis and risk science
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Policies on risk constitute a core topic of risk analysis and risk science, and it is common at risk conferences to present real-life cases of such policies, for example related to the handling of climate change and ... -
A Generalized Interest Rates Model with Scaling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The article introduces scaling and generalizes the Taylor (1993) interest rate rule from four terms to seven terms. The three additional terms are the deviation in money supply, the deviation in money velocity, and the ... -
A Simplified Normalized Subband Adaptive Filter (NSAF) with NLMS-like complexity
(Chapter, 2022)The Normalized Subband Adaptive Filter (NSAF) is a popular algorithm exhibiting moderate computational complexity and enhanced convergence speed relative to the ubiquitous Normalized Least Mean Square (NLMS) algorithm. ... -
Cold quark matter at N3LO: Soft contributions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)High-order perturbative calculations for thermodynamic quantities in QCD are complicated by the physics of dynamical screening that affects the soft, long-wavelength modes of the system. Here, we provide details for the ... -
Corporate Risk Tolerance and Acceptability towards Sustainable Energy Transition
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The omnipresence of risk prevails in almost every aspect of human life. Individuals and societal factors are pivotal in the decision-making process to judge acceptability and tolerability of risk. Tolerability of risk (ToR) ... -
Parsing heterogeneity within dementia with Lewy bodies using clustering of biological, clinical, and demographic data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) includes various core clinical features that result in different phenotypes. In addition, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and cerebrovascular pathologies are common in DLB. All this ... -
Threat Modeling of a Smart Grid Secondary Substation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)A full smart grid implementation requires the digitization of all parts of the smart grid infrastructure, including secondary electrical substations. Unfortunately, this introduces new security threats, which were not ... -
The incidence, baseline predictors, and outcomes of dementia in an incident cohort of Parkinson’s disease and controls
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background There are few long-term data on the incidence, baseline predictors, and outcomes of dementia in Parkinson’s disease (PD) from prospective community-based incident cohorts. Methods The PINE study prospectively ... -
Recent Norwegian Research Relevant to Evacuation, Search and Rescue under Arctic Condition
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Marine traffic is increasing in the Arctic Region. As ice in the Arctic Region retracts, opportunities for the marine industry increase. This relates to the fishing industry, which is moving further into the Arctic Seas, ... -
Aquaculture policy: Designing licenses for environmental regulation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Public regulation of a successful industry such as aquaculture needs to consider different concerns such as industry growth and development, but also environmental and societal sustainability. Governance systems are ... -
On how to characterize and confront misinformation in a risk context
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Misinformation is one of the largest challenges for risk assessment and communication. However, the term misinformation in relation to risk has not yet been clearly interpreted by the risk field. Basic definitions of ...
