1:2 - kitchen tools for enhancing parent-child relationship
(Høgskolen i Oslo og Akershus, 2014)The relationship of parent and child involves the full extent of a child’s development. A positive parent-child relationship has extremely important impact to the happiness and success for the child’s development. It helps ... -
3D printing in medical application: an educational design perspective
(The Design Society, 2017)Medical applications for 3D printin g are expanding rapidly and are expected to revolutionize health care. The application of 3D printing in medicine and healthcare can provide many bene fits, including ... -
60 Days of sharing: A Distribution of Artistic products On The Online Gallery; Instagram
(Oslo and Akershus University College, 2014)This thesis will study a distribution of artistic products on the social network of Instagram. Through artistic and scientific reflections the project looks at how the online photo-sharing network shapes an artist’s feed ... -
A Colour Interpolation Scheme for Topologically Unrestricted Gradient Meshes
(Wiley, 2017)Gradient meshes are a 2D vector graphics primitive where colour is interpolated between mesh vertices. The current implementations of gradient meshes are restricted to rectangular mesh topology. Our new interpolation method ... -
A novel strategy for solving the stochastic point location problem using a hierarchical searching scheme
(IEEE, 2014)Stochastic point location (SPL) deals with the problem of a learning mechanism (LM) determining the optimal point on the line when the only input it receives are stochastic signals about the direction in which it should ... -
A quantitative analysis of the uncertainty in grading of written exams in mathematics and physics
(iSER Publications, 2016-03-05)The most common way to grade students in courses at university and university college level is to use final written exams. The aim of final exams is generally to provide a reliable and a valid measurement of the extent to ... -
A Queue Model for Reliable Forecasting of Future CPU Consumption
(Springer, 2017)Statistical queuing models are popular to analyze a computer systems ability to process different types requests. A common strategy is to run stress tests by sending artificial requests to the system. The rate and sizes ... -
A relativistic trolley paradox
(American Association of Physics Teachers, 2016-02)We present an apparent paradox within the special theory of relativity, involving a trolley with relativistic velocity and its rolling wheels. Two solutions are given, both making clear the physical reality of the Lorentz ... -
A Review of Building Information Modelling for Construction in Developing Countries
(Elsevier, 2016-12)Building Information Modelling (BIM) is wide ly seen as a catalyst for innovation and productivity in the construction industry. BIM can assist a more sustainable construction process that in turn may contribute to ... -
A Review of the Performance of Buildings Integrated with Phase Change Material: Opportunities for Application in Cold Climate
(Elsevier, 2014-12-26)Buildings generally need serious attention in order to reduce global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Phase Change Materials (PCMs) that change phase just above normal room temperature are a promising means ... -
A Simple Browser-based 3D-Sketching Framework for Novice and Infrequent Users
(2017)Modelling in 3D is considered time-consuming and difficult, requiring special training. There are currently no 3D modelling user interface conventions. This paper thus presents a framework for simple 3D modelling based ... -
A Simple MVC-Framework for Local Management of Online Course Material
(Springer, 2017)Managing online materials for large classes can be time-consuming and error prone. In particular, it can be challenging to manage long lists of students, lecture progress, and auditorium schedules as these often change on ... -
A solution of the Mitra Paradox
(MDPI, 2016)The “Mitra paradox” refers to the fact that while the de Sitter spacetime appears non-static in a freely falling reference frame, it looks static with reference to a fixed reference frame. The coordinate-independent nature ... -
Abandoned ideas and the energies of failure
(Elsevier, 2020-06-14)Our academic life is ripe with failures and things abandoned, with hurt and feelings of defeat and despair. Already as students, we learn how to hide and tuck away such experiences and the impact they have on us. As a ... -
Acceptance of construction scheduling visualizations: bar-charts, flowline-charts, or perhaps BIM?
(Elsevier, 2016-12-02)Four - dimensional Building Information Modelling is widely viewed as the next evolutionary step in construction scheduling. Linking scheduling information to parametric object models is believed to ... -
The Accessibility of Chinese Social Media for People with Visual Impairments – the case of Weibo
(Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences, 2017)Weibo is one of the most widely used social media in China. It is the Chinese Twitter, which allow users to post 140 Chinese characters. Weibo has 100 million daily active users. People usually use it to get news and share ... -
The Accessibility of MOOCs for Blind Learners
(2017)The development of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) has provided unique learning opportunities for many people. In the meantime, the lack of accessibility in some MOOCs has also created barriers for ... -
Accessibility of MOOCs for Blind People in Developing Non-English Speaking Countries
(Springer Verlag, 2016-07-08)Besides the globally popular MOOCs, localized MOOCs specific to a region or language are also emerging. These specialized MOOCs often aim to address specific needs that are typically unaddressed by the ... -
Accessibility Study of interactive maps and design recommendation to enhance screen reader accessibility
(OsloMet - storbyuniversitetet. Institutt for informasjonsteknologi, 2020)Digital maps have been an integral part of modern life. We use digital maps online and offline on our smartphones, tablets, computers, kiosks, etc. Whether to venture into an unknown location, check the latest traffic ... -
An accessible directions-based text entry method using two-thumb touch typing
