Performance management in Organizational teams; Development of a team performance framework for an Industrial context based on Balance Scorecard
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMBM/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06)A significant challenge in most start-up companies, such as Huddly, particularly in the support team is that performance metrics, and indicators are not fully defined, developed and implemented. The organization has an ... -
Performance of autonomous inflow control systems
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06)The first passive Inflow Control Devices (ICDs), were introduced in the early 1990’s. Their task is to provide an additional choking effect in long reach horizontal wells and to eliminate heel-toe effect. There are several ... -
Performance of Enzyme-Catalyzed Single-E and Dual-E Homeostatic Controllers
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-06-15)Mathematical modeling has become an important tool in order to investigate the behavior of biological systems. The concept of homeostasis is central to our understanding how cells and organisms maintain an internal stability ... -
Performance of salsnes water to algae treatment (swat) technology in a continuous mode for high algae recovery
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-04-03)Many researchers consider efficient harvesting is the major bottleneck in cost efficient production of microalgae, contributing 20 – 30 % to total production cost. This thesis is the conclusion of a two years research ... -
Performance of sequencing batch reactors for nutrient removal using salsnes filter fine mesh sieves as a primary treatment
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2013;, Master thesis, 2013)This study investigated the performance of sequencing batch reactors (SBR) for nitrification and denitrification. Bench scale Salsnes Filter (SF) was used as a primary treatment to provide wastewater with different organic ... -
Performance of Waterborne Polyurethanes in Inhibition of Gas Hydrate Formation and Corrosion: Influence of Hydrophobic Fragments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-12)The design of new dual-function inhibitors simultaneously preventing hydrate formation and corrosion is a relevant issue for the oil and gas industry. The structure-property relationship for a promising class of hybrid ... -
Performance optimized rig design
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06-12)Increasing the number of wells drilled into a reservoir leaves less oil in the reservoir as well as exploration of new reservoirs demands to drill new wells. By increasing the efficiency of a drilling rig, more wells can ... -
Performance-based policy in offender rehabilitation: Limitation or innovation for frontline workers in Liaison and Diversion services?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-06)In recent years, the English government has been using competitive elements in the process of allocating public funds through policy. Front-line workers struggle with the limitations imposed by such a model. A qualitative ... -
The Performances of Three Commercially Available Assays for the Detection of SARS‐CoV‐2 Antibodies at Different Time Points Following SARS‐CoV‐2 Infection
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The aim of this study was to evaluate the performances of three commercially available antibody assays for the detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibodies at different time points ... -
Performative kunstdidaktiske erfaringer som praksisrefleksjon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-09)Hensikten med denne studien er å undersøke hva performative kunstdidaktiske erfaringer kan tilføre praksisrefleksjonen til PPU (praktisk pedagogisk utdanning) studenter i drama og teater. Forfatterne har gjennomført tre ... -
Performing Rurality in Online Community Groups*
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-03)In this paper, we investigate how rurality is performed in online community groups, attending in particular to outdoor recreation and engagement with local nature. The starting point for our performative approach is that ... -
