This study explores the effect of precipitation, evaporation, animal burrowing and the changing climate on the permeability of the clay cover layer on a dike. It also showcases the possibility of utilizing finite difference flow models, such as MODFLOW, for the simulation of various environmental impacts …

This research investigates the integration of Mixed Reality (MR) and local multiplayer functionalities in training simulations to enhance realism and immersion, thereby improving learning outcomes for students. The study addresses three primary sub-questions: examining the effects of local multiplayer …

This master’s thesis focuses on the implementation of a customized advanced controller for a gantry robot. Using mathematical models and numerical simulations, a Model Reference Adaptive Controller (MRAC) was selected. The controller was implemented on a Beckhoff-oriented system and validated on a physical …

Objectives: Simulation is an important learning activity in nursing education. There is little knowledge about dialogue and communication between students and facilitators in a virtual simulation setting. The current study, conducted in Norway, explores the dialogic teaching approaches applied by facilitators …

This research investigates the digital and physical draping of fully-fashioned knit textiles, aiming to address challenges faced by knit manufacturers in achieving accurate virtual prototypes. Through a combination of literature review, case studies, and controlled experiments, methods for creating digital …

We have developed a lesson in which learners interactively construct a qualitative representation about climate change and the decline of biodiversity by using the online software DynaLearn. They are supported by a built-in support function to notice mistakes, and they can run simulations to explore …

Sickness absenteeism among flight crews is a pervasive problem disruptive to operations and costly for the employer. According to literature, exposure to certain schedule attributes has been associated with adverse health issues. However, the relationship between schedule characteristics and sickness …

BACKGROUND: The design and manufacturing of effective foot orthoses is a complex multidisciplinary problem involving biomedical and gait pattern aspects, technical material and geometric design elements as well as psychological and social contexts. This complexity contributes to the current trial-and-error …

An important step towards improving performance while reducing weight and maintenance needs is the integration of composite materials into mechanical and aerospace engineering. This subject explores the many aspects of composite application, from basic material characterization to state-of-the-art advances …

Background The ROS1 G2032R mutation is the most common on-target resistance mutation in crizotinib treated ROS1-positive lung cancer patients. The aim of our study was to investigate resistance mechanisms in SCL34A2-ROS1G2032R positive Ba/F3 cells against second line treatment with lorlatinib. Methods …
