A Study of the Influence of Shadowing on the Statistical Properties of the Capacity of Mobile Radio Channels
2008
Article from the journal: Wireless Personal Communications The original publication is available at www.springerlink.com : http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11277-008-9545-7 This paper studies the influence of shadowing on the statistical properties of the channel capacity. The problem is addressed by using a Suzuki process as an appropriate statistical channel model for land mobile terrestrial channels. Using this model, exact solutions for the probability density function (PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF), level-crossing rate (LCR), and average duration of fades (ADF) of the channel capacity are derived. The results are studied for different levels of shadowing, corresponding to diff…

Elektronisk kurve - mulighet for reduksjon av legemiddel feil i sykehus?
2013
Masteroppgave i helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI500 2012 – Universitetet i Agder, Grimstad. Oppgaven har gjennomgått en lettere revisjon etter eksamen. Endringene er beskrevet etter forordet og er er godkjent av veileder Introduksjon: Informasjonssystemer har ført til store endringer også i helsesektoren. Det meste av pasientjournalen er nå elektronisk, men arbeidsprosessene rundt forordning og administrering av legemidler foregår på de fleste sykehus fremdeles manuelt. Da legemiddelfeil er et stort problem, foreslår Helse- og Omsorgsdepartementet elektroniske systemer som et tiltak for å redusere legemiddelfeil. Tidligere forskning viser imidlertid at innføring av elektroniske systemer ikke…

Paper presented at the System Sciences (HICSS), 2013 46th Hawaii International Conference on. http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/HICSS.2013.485 "The findings from this thesis show that virtual worlds offer valuable affordances for people with lifelong disability and identify six affordances offered: communication, mobility, personalization, social inclusion, personal development, and joint activity. The study also concludes that the affordances identified may represent …
Introducing Internet-based services in the mountain areas of Nepal: An asset pentagon perspective
2012
Published version of an article from the journal: Information Technologies & International Development. Also available from the publisher: http://itidjournal.org/itid/article/view/916 Information and communication technology for development (ICT4D) projects can only be considered successful if they lead to some kind of individual, social, or economic development. The beneªts of introducing ICT4D projects in developing countries are yet to be realized, particularly those introduced in mountainous and remote areas. Our study addresses this knowledge gap by analyzing the Nepal Wireless Networking Project from the mountain areas in Nepal using the assets pentagon model (APM). The main contribut…
Exploring knowledge work practices and evolution in distributed networks of practice
2010
Published version of an article from the journal:Electronic Journal of Knowledge Management Also available from the publisher: http://www.ejkm.com/volume-8/v8-1/v8-i1-art7.htm This paper derives from a longitudinal study conducted in a multinational company. Through an interpretive case study approach, we have explored the phenomenon of knowledge networking in distributed work. More specifically, we have focused on the evolution patterns in a particular knowledge networking structure denoted as distributed networks of practice. The paper conceptualizes this kind of network of practice as an information and communication technology (ICT) facilitated dynamic relationship of participants that …

Offshore Wind Data Integration
2014
Doktorgradsavhandling i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi, Universitetet i Agder, Grimstad, 2014 Using renewable energy to meet the future electricity consumption and to reduce environmental impact is a significant target of many countries around the world. Wind power is one of the most promising renewable energy technologies. In particular, the development of offshore wind power is increasing rapidly due to large areas of wind resources. However, offshore wind is encountering big challenges such as effective use of wind power plants, reduced cost of installation as well as operation and maintenance (O&M). Improved O&M is likely to reduce the hazard exposure of the employees, increas…
