Non-Revenue Water Reduction Programs in Colombia: Methodology Analysis using a System Dynamics Approach
(Master thesis, 2008-08-19)All across the world there are concerns about water availability that inviteutilities to perform better as water stewards. One of the ways to get a betterperformance, both operational and financial, is to reduce water ... -
The Non-sense of Gender in Neverwinter Nights

Non-Slit Solutions to the Loewner Equation
(Master thesis, 2010-04-30)We study conditions on the driving term of the Loewner equation which guarantee that the equation generates slits. We construct a new family of examples of non-slit solutions which generalize Kufarev's example, in which ... -
Non-standard shocks in the Buckley-Leverett equation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-08)It is shown how delta shock waves which consist of Dirac delta distributions and classical shocks can be used to construct non-monotone solutions of the Buckley–Leverett equation. These solutions are interpreted using a ... -
Non-strange and strange D-meson and charm-baryon production in heavy-ion collisions measured with ALICE at the LHC
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)We present recent results on strange and non-strange D-meson production measured with ALICE in Pb–Pb collisions at the LHC. In addition, the measurements of the Λ+ c -baryon production and of the Λ+ c /D0 ratio in pp, p–Pb, ... -
Non-Uniform k-Center and Greedy Clustering
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)In the Non-Uniform k-Center (NUkC) problem, a generalization of the famous k-center clustering problem, we want to cover the given set of points in a metric space by finding a placement of balls with specified radii. In ... -
Non-Verbal Interactions Between Music Therapists and Persons with Dementia. A Qualitative Phenomenological and Arts-Based Inquiry
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)When music therapists are supervising caregivers in how to apply music in their interactions with persons with dementia, we may term this as indirect music therapy practice. Musical interactions are mostly happening through ... -
Non-Verbal Working Memory: A functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) comparison
(Master thesis, 2023-05-30)Ulike hjernenettverk virker å bli aktivert for verbal og ikke-verbal visuell og romlig informasjon i arbeidsminnet. Det finnes et bredt spenn av forskning på det visuell-romlige arbeidsminnet. Likevel, har en tilnærming ... -
Non-visual photoreceptive systems in early development of Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus)
(Doctoral thesis, 2014-03-28)Non-visual photoreception is thought to be involved in a range of behavioural and physiological processes in teleost fishes, such as synchronisation of circadian and circannual rhythms, but also regulation of skin pigmentation, ... -
Nondirective meditation activates brain areas associated with retrieval of memories and emotional processing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-02-26)Nondirective meditation techniques are practiced with a relaxed focus of attention that permits spontaneously occurring thoughts, images, sensations, memories, and emotions to emerge and pass freely, without any expectation ... -
Nonemptiness of severi varieties on enriques surfaces
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Let (S,L) be a general polarised Enriques surface, with L not numerically 2-divisible. We prove the existence of regular components of all Severi varieties of irreducible nodal curves in the linear system |L| , that is, ... -
Nonholonomic geometry on finite and infinite dimensional Lie groups and rolling manifolds
(Doctoral thesis, 2012-03-30)Part I: We start by giving some background on the topics discussed in this thesis. The main topic of the thesis is nonholonomic geometry. In Chapter 1 we give an introduction of nonholonomic geometry in the context of ... -

Noninvasive ventilation in COVID-19 patients aged ≥ 70 years—a prospective multicentre cohort study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is a promising alternative to invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) with a particular importance amidst the shortage of intensive care unit (ICU) beds during the COVID-19 pandemic. ... -
Nonlinear Analysis of Motor Activity Shows Differences between Schizophrenia and Depression: A Study Using Fourier Analysis and Sample Entropy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-01-28)The purpose of this study has been to describe motor activity data obtained by using wrist-worn actigraphs in patients with schizophrenia and major depression by the use of linear and non-linear methods of analysis. Different ... -
Nonlinear cross-spectrum analysis via the local Gaussian correlation
(Journal article, 2017)Spectrum analysis can detect frequency related structures in a time series \(\{Y_t\}_{t\in\mathbb{Z}}\), but may in general be an inadequate tool if asymmetries or other nonlinear phenomena are present. This limitation is ... -
A Nonlinear Differential Equation Solver With Potential Application to Pelton Turbines
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-05-02)The focus in this thesis is the development and implementation of a new method for solving nonlinear differential equations on a grid. The method’s novelty lies in the way it represents continuously distributed variables ... -
Nonlinear echoes from encapsulated antibubbles
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-09-19)An antibubble consists of a liquid droplet, surrounded by a gas, often with an encapsulating shell. Antibubbles of microscopic sizes suspended in fluids are acoustically active in the ultrasonic range. Antibubbles have ...
