Ribbon braided module categories, quantum symmetric pairs and Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations

De Commer, Kenny; Neshveyev, Sergey; Tuset, Lars; Yamashita, Makoto (Springer, 2018-11-06)

Let u be a compact semisimple Lie algebra, and σ be a Lie algebra involution of u. Let Repq(u) be the ribbon braided tensor C∗-category of admissible Uq(u)-representations for 0 < q < 1. We introduce three module C∗-categories ...

Tangible Cup for Elderly Social Interaction: Design TUI for & with Elderly

Bong, Way Kiat; Chen, Weiqin (California State University, 2019)

Social interaction is found to have significant impacts in our quality of life. Information and communications technology (ICT) has been designed to improve our social interaction and well-being. Elderly people face ...

The focus of skills in education and the design industry

Starling, Robert E; Steen, Laila (The Design Society, 2019)

With constant technological, social and cultural changes in the design industry it is important for educational courses to teach the most relevant skills. Students are faced with the choice of specialisation in order to ...

Å vere lærar i programmering utan å kunne programmere

Frantsen, Torbjørn (OsloMet - storbyuniversitetet, 2019)

Effect of time dependent corrosion rate on residual capacity of corroded RC beam

Kioumarsi, Mahdi; Hajmohammadian Baghban, Mohammad; Imperatore, Stefania (IOP Publishing, 2019)

Corrosion is the most commonly severe defect in reinforced concrete (RC) structures and it mainly causes reduced rebar cross-section. The corrosion rate is the determining parameter of the progress of corrosion-induced ...

Lateral displacement capacity of reinforced concrete elements damaged by corrosion

Imperatore, Stefania; Kioumarsi, Mahdi (IOP Publishing, 2019)

The aim of this work is to evaluate the influence of corrosion on the lateral displacement capacity and on the global ductility of reinforced concrete (RC) elements, using finite element (FE) analysis. The corrosive ...

Cross-federation identities for IoT devices in cellular networks

Santos, Bernardo; Dzogovic, Bruno; Feng, Boning; Do, Thuan Van; Jacot, Niels; Do, van Thanh (IEEE, 2019)

With the upcoming deployment and usage of Cellular Internet of Things solutions, it is important to mitigate some issues regarding security, due to the physical limitations that some devices have such as low memory, low ...

Demand-controlled ventilation: do different user groupsrequire different CO2-setpoints?

Haugland, Martine Borgen; Yang, Aileen; Holøs, Sverre Bjørn; Thunshelle, Kari; Mysen, Mads (IOP Publishing, 2019)

The aim of this study is to investigate whether children's bioeffluent generation rate is proportional to their carbon dioxide (CO2) generation rate. Consequently, to assess if there is a need to differentiate the CO2- ...

Effect of ventilation on perceived air quality in 18 classrooms

Holøs, Sverre Bjørn; Yang, Aileen; Thunshelle, Kari; Mysen, Mads (IOP Publishing, 2019)

The aim of this paper is to assess whether reducing the minimum ventilation airflow rate (Vmin) has any negative impacts on perceived air quality (PAQ) upon entering an unoccupied room. Seventeen healthy young adults were ...

Comparing sentiment- and behavioral-based leading indexes for industrial production:When does each fail?

Seip, Knut Lehre; Yilmaz, Yunus; Schröder, Michael (MDPI, 2019)

We apply a relatively novel leading–lagging (LL) method to four leading and one lagging indexes for industrial production (IP) in Germany. We obtain three sets of results. First, we show that the sentiment-based ifo index ...
