Assessing the electricity consumption of outdoor lighting systems in the presence of automatic control: The OL-BAC factors method
2020
Abstract Building automation systems are able to influence significantly buildings’ energy performance. The BAC factors method, presented for the first time by the International Standard EN 15232, is the most used and simple instrument for evaluating the impact of such systems in terms of reduction of the electrical and thermal energy consumption of buildings services. Nevertheless, Standard EN 15232 does not take into consideration the automation of lighting systems serving buildings’ external areas like passages, gardens, entrance walkways, etc. In some cases, such areas can be very extended and, as a consequence, responsible for a not negligible percentage of the overall electricity cons…
Interleukin 27 induces differentiation of neural C6-precursor cells into astrocytes.
2007
Interleukin 6 (IL6)-type cytokines are major regulators of inflammation and thereby contribute to the neuropathology and pathophysiology associated with inflammation of the central nervous system (CNS). Furthermore, astrocyte development which is a key process in the development of the CNS is also controlled by cytokines of the IL6-family. Interleukin 27 (IL27) is a recently identified member of this family and has been implicated in the inhibition of TH17 T-cell-responses. Here we show that IL27 and the HHV8 encoded viral IL6 (vIL6) induce C6 glioma cells to differentiate into an astrocyte-like state. Cytokine stimulation led to STAT-factor phosphorylation and consequently to protein expre…
Spillerutgifter i Premier League : sammenhengen mellom Premier League-klubbers spillerutgifter og sportslige prestasjon
2014
Masteroppgave i økonomi og administrasjon – Universitetet i Agder 2014 Jeg har i denne oppgaven studert sammenhengen mellom Premier League-klubbers spillerutgifter (lønnskostnader og spillerkjøp) og sportslige prestasjon. Premier League-klubber har de seneste årene fått mye oppmerksomhet grunnet deres høye spillerutgifter. Normalt får klubber størst oppmerksomhet på bakgrunn av deres spillerkjøp, jeg er derimot av den oppfatning at klubbenes lønnskostnad har større sammenheng med deres sportslige prestasjon. Analysene mine viser at overgangssum ikke har signifikant effekt på sportslig prestasjon når lønnskostnaden er kjent. Analysene viser også at den relative lønnskostnaden har større effe…
Ressursbasert perspektiv på norsk toppfotball : "norsk toppfotball- en kamp utenfor banen i et ressursbasert perspektiv"
2011
Masteroppgave i økonomi og administrasjon - Universitetet i Agder 2011 Motivasjonen for å skrive denne oppgaven er sterkt knyttet til forfatternes glødende engasjement for fotball som hobby og interesse, samt påvirkningen idretten har på samfunnet for øvrig. Ønsket om å knytte denne interessen opp mot det faglige aspektet som ligger til grunn for mastergraden i økonomi og administrasjon ved Universitetet i Agder var gjeldende. Formålet med oppgaven er å kartlegge hvordan ressursene i norske Tippeligaklubber påvirker de finansielle og sportslige prestasjonene. Studiet ble gjennomført med en kvalitativ tilnærming, hvor et multiple casestudie ble brukt som design. Innhentingen av data ble ble …

Bruk av FEM-modellering til kapasitetsundersøkelser av momentoverførende knutepunkter i stål
2021
Master's thesis in Civil and structural engineering (BYG508) Eurocode 3 provides a rough analytical method to estimate the capacity of a steel joint by derivingthe overall behavior from its components. Numerical methods such as the finite element method(FEM) enable accurate simulation of joint behavior. However, there is no direct guidelines inthe Eurocodes for utilizing numerical methods to document the capacity of moment-resisting steeljoints. This master thesis investigates how FEM can be used to evaluate and document the capacityof such joints. A literature review that includes relevant normative documentation and researcharticles dealing with the use of FEM has been carried out and a s…

Comparison of Different Construction Methods for Multi‐Storey Timber Buildings
2018
Master's Thesis Civil and Constructional Engineering BYG508 - University of Agder 2018 In this master thesis, different timber materials and construction methods are examined concern‐ing the application in multi‐storey timber buildings. Although wood as a construction material has many advantages, it is today only used very little for larger constructions, concrete and steel dominate the building industry. Planners and engi‐neers are often lacking necessary expertise to utilise timber in a modern, effective way. In order to promote the development of modern, efficient multi‐storey timber buildings, the goal of this master thesis is to contribute to a better understanding of the wood’s chara…
