Analysis of samples of high explosives extracted from explosive remnants of war
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Millions of tonnes of dumped ammunition and explosive remnants of war remain in nature both on land and at sea. It is well known that the ordnance could represent a definite explosive risk if disturbed, and that some of ... -
The challenges experts face during creeping crises: the curse of complacency
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The policy literature has generally conceptualised crises as urgent public threats with clearly demarcated ‘focusing events’. Consequently, most studies have identified the main challenges faced by expert agencies involved ... -
Characterising the robustness of coupled power-law networks
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Many networks exhibit a power-law configuration, where the number of connections each node has follows a power-law distribution, including the Internet, terrorist cells, species relationships and infrastructure. Given the ... -
Cost Escalation in Road Construction Contracts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-09)This paper presents a study of cost escalation in unit price road construction contracts. The aim is to investigate why the final cost of contracts differs from the agreed contract cost following tendering, both to identify ... -
Dataset for the Solar Incident Radiation and Electricity Production BIPV/BAPV System on the Northern/Southern Façade in Dense Urban Areas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-05)The prosperous implementation of Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV), as well as Building Attached Photovoltaics (BAPV), needs an accurate and detailed assessment of the potential of solar irradiation and electricity ... -
Definition of reliability and maintenance concepts in oil and gas - validity aspects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)International standards have a key role in establishing consistent terminology. Amongst these is the recently published and revised ISO standard on reliability and maintenance data collection and exchange, i.e. ISO 14224:2016. ... -
Electric cars as a path to sustainable travel behaviour: Insights from Nord-Jæren
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)This study examines whether promoting electric cars (EVs) to achieve greener mobility undermines the efforts to reduce car use. It specifically explores the concept of moral licensing, wherein individuals use EVs as a way ... -
Emergency preparedness for tunnel fires – A systems-oriented approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-07)Efficient emergency response is key to preventing major losses in tunnel fires. Our general concern in this paper is the degree to which tunnel systems are prepared and the means by which we can be prepared for a major ... -
An environmental risk assessment framework for enhanced oil recovery solutions from offshore oil and gas industry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Environmental risk assessments are necessary to understand the risk associated with enhanced oil recovery (EOR) solutions and to provide decision support for choosing the best technology and implementing risk-reducing ... -
Evaluation of guidance provided by international standards on metrics and timelines for run-life estimation of oil and gas equipment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Run-life is a concept used in the oil and gas industry to express time to failure for running equipment. When estimating this as part of reliability engineering activities, different metrics and time periods are considered. ... -
Exploring digital narratives: A comprehensive Dataset of Household Energy App reviews
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-12)This paper presents an anonymous dataset of 7999 user reviews covering five household energy mobile applications used in Norwegian households. Such reviews are usually available through the Google Play Store and Apple App ... -
An extended method for evaluating assumptions deviations in quantitative risk assessment and its application to external flooding risk assessment of a nuclear power plant
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-04)In quantitative risk assessment, assumptions are typically made, based on best judgement, conservative, or (sometimes) optimistic judgments. Best judgment and optimistic assumptions may result in failing to meet the ... -
Game Theoretic Analysis of Clickbait or Fake News and Real News
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)A decision and game theoretic model is developed for how one and two news organisations strike balances between producing clickbait or fake news, and real news. Each news organisation seeks to attract gullible consumers ... -
