Musicians often use tools such as loop-pedals and multitrack recorders to assist in improvisation and songwriting. While these devices are useful in creating new compositions from scratch, they do not contribute to the ...

Mental health is a growing concern in today's society. Mental disorders such as bipolar disorder and depression affects one in four adults at some point in their life, and is one of the leading causes of disability. This ...

When it comes to the analysis of biological sequences, alignment based methods have long been in the forefront for finding similarities between sequences, and in the classification of genetic sequences. Many of these methods ...

This master thesis explores how to make and use research products to mediate the state of the phenomenal body and generate new knowledge about their meaning for people with health challenges. Specifically, the thesis ...

Virtual Reality (VR) have experienced a resurgence in recent years with the introduction of the Oculus Rift, and this new market have made the technology widely available for consumers. With this renewed popular interest ...

There is a growth in the number of solar panel installations in residential homes in Norway, and the process of installing has become effortless with the assistance of various actors. However, the experience of having solar ...

Cloud computing is one of the fastest emerging technology. Increase in demands of cloud computing leads to increase in data centers. These data center consists of a huge number of interconnected Physical Machines (PMs). ...

The One Versus Rest (OVR) method of building classifiers has fallen out of favor with machine learning researchers in recent years. When used, it is mostly only with older binary linear classifiers such as Support Vector ...

In the last decade, the number of Internet-users have increased exponentially, and the amount of service and systems data they create have also increased accordingly. Users are often using different devices which generate ...

Big data is an emerging concept involving complex data sets which can give new insight and distill new knowledge. In the other hand, Hadoop MapReduce paradigm, a distributed computing software, has been adopted widely in ...

With the ever growing server density and infrastructures encompassed in data centers, heat generation and power dissipation has increased drastically. This has brought a serious impact on system performance and reliability. ...

Post translational modifications (PTMs) are chemical modifications to proteins that regulate many protein functions. Recently, PTMs found on human leukocyte antigen (HLA) bound epitopes specific to cancer cells have become ...

The use of public key cryptosystems range from securely encrypting emails and files to creating digital signatures for non-repudiation. The security of public key cryptosystems is based on computationally "unsolvable" ...

The field of medicine has a history of adopting new technology. Video equipment and sensors are used to visualize areas of interest in the human allowing for doctors to make diagnoses based on imagery observations. However, ...

Denne oppgaven handler om Universell Utforming av IKT og drøfter om simuleringer av funksjonsnedsettelser kan være en nyttig måte å oppdage tilgjengelighetsproblemer på og å skape empati. Jeg har intervjuet front-end ...

For å forhindre smitte på et sykehus er det viktig med gode hygieneforhold og dermed er det også viktig med gode rutiner på renholdet. For å minke sannsynligheten for smitte er det nødvendig å holde ulike områder så rene ...

In this thesis we have explored the possibility that mutations occurring at DNA-level might coincide and even be the cause of particular gene fusions at the RNA-level, and have created methods of analysis, integrating both ...

In this thesis, we aim to find suitable automatic evaluation metrics for evaluating topic models in the Aftenposten news domain. We review and experiment with six evaluation metrics from previous research which are potentially ...

In today's digital world cloud computing is key and it is growing. At the same time we are trying to maximize resource utilization. Running big, old general-purpose operating systems on virtual machines in the cloud is not ...

Existing bicycle locks do not meet current security requirements. A bicycle is for many people a big investment that very often ends up like an inventory in the entrance, storage room, bedroom or living room. However, the ...

By default, the Linux network stack is not configured for high-speed large file transfer. The reason behind this is to merely save memory resources. We may tune the Linux network stack by increasing network buffers size ...

The geometric model, Higher-dimensional automata (HDA), is a useful and general model for non-interleaving concurrency. In a non-interleaving approach to concurrency, more than one event may happen concurrently and one ...

Fragmentation in heterogenous and widely distributed HISs (Health Information System) is a global problem and is still challenging to make them interoperable. One of the key factors includes the lack of standardization ...

Wireless multicast suffers from severe packet loss due to interference and lack of link layer retransmission. In this work, we investigate wether the most recent Forward Error Correction (FEC) draft is suitable for real-time ...
