Underlying patterns and factors behind suicides of patients in treatment are still unclear and there is a pressing need for more studies to address this knowledge gap. We analysed 278 cases of suicide reported to The Norwegian System of Patient Injury Compensation, drawing on anonymised data, i.e., age group, gender, diagnostic category, type of treatment provided, inpatient vs. outpatient status, ...

In this paper we prove new continuous refinements of some Jensen type inequalities in both direct and reversed forms. As applications we also derive some continuous refinements of Hermite–Hadamard, Hölder, and Popoviciu type inequalities. As particular cases we point out the corresponding results for sums and integrals showing that our results contain both several well-known but also some new ...

This paper proposes the concept of a field programmable and configurable power electronic converter together with a new synthesis method. By considering the converter as a pack of resources, the converter topology and configuration of inputs and outputs can be programmed in the field through, utilising the available device resources.

We propose controllers for leader-follower attitude synchronization of spacecraft formations in the presence of disturbances, that is, the leader spacecraft is controlled to follow a given reference, while a follower spacecraft is controlled to synchronize its motion with the leader’s. In the ideal disturbance-free scenario, we show that synchronization takes place asymptotically. Moreover, we ...

In this paper we characterize the validity of the Hardy-type inequality &#8741 &#8741 &#8747 _s&#8734) h(z)dz &#8741 p,u,(0,t) &#8741 q,w,(=,&#8734≤ c&#8741h&#8741 1,v(0,&#8734) where 0 < p < ∞,0< q ≤ +∞, u, w and v are weight functions on (0,∞). It is pointed out that this characterization can be used to obtain new characterizations for the boundedness between weighted Lebesgue spaces ...

The traffic congestion problem has become a significant challenge for green shipping of inland waterway transport, resulting in long waiting times and high carbon emissions. Several studies have been conducted to optimize the use of the passing facilities and lockage efficiency, but the improvement of the ship appointment system has not been investigated. In this paper, we formulate new mathematical ...

One of the main challenges in developing efficient and effective winter road maintenance is to design an accurate prediction model for the road surface friction coefficient. A reliable and accurate prediction model of road surface friction coefficient can help decision support systems to significantly increase traffic safety, while saving time and cost. High dynamicity in weather and road surface ...

Increased knowledge about energy dissipation processes around colliding ice floes is important for improved understanding of atmosphere-ice-ocean energy transfer, wave propagation through sea ice, and the polar climates. The aim of this study is to obtain such information by investigating colliding ice floe dynamics in a large-scale experiment and directly measuring and quantifying the turbulent ...
