  • Safety and Reliability Improvements of Valves and Actuators for the Offshore Oil and Gas Industry Through Optimized Design
    Safety and reliability improvements of valves and actuators for the offshore oil and gas industry through optimized design by Karan Sotoodeh Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR PHILOSOPHIAE (Dr. Philos.) Faculty of Science and Technology 2021 UniversityofStavanger NO-4036Stavanger NORWAY www.uis.no ©2021 Karan Sotoodeh ISBN:877 ISSN: PhD:ThesisUiSNo.7 Abstract Valves are essential components of piping systems in the oil and gas industry, especially offshore, where they are used for stopping or starting the fluid, flow regulation, and back flow prevention, as well as safety reasons. The efficiency, safety and reliability of an oil and gas plant is largely dependent on the handling and transportation of fluid through the piping system, including industrial valves. In the offshore sector of the oil and gas industry, valve failure for different reasons, such as corrosion and material failure, inadequate strength against loads, nonconformance to the international standards, etc., is a big risk, with severe negative consequences. Some of the negative impacts of valve failure in the oil and gas industry, especially the offshore sector, can be summarized as loss of asset and production and Safety and Environmental issues (HSE), including problems like environmental pollution, loss of human life in some cases and jeopardizing safety and reliability, etc. Thus, developing methods to improve the design, selection, safety and reliability of valves and actuators is essential and the main objective of this thesis. It should be noted that actuators are mechanical devices installed on the valves, and the performance of the valves is largely dependent on the actuators.

Knud Knudsen (1812–1895): norsk skole- og språkreformator og skandinavist Arne Torp Ivar Aasen (1813–1896) og Knud Knudsen (1813–1896) er de to store navna i norsk språkhistorie på 1800-tallet, men Aasen er nok vesentlig bedre kjent både i Norge og ellers i verden enn Knudsen. Dette er heller ikke så merkelig: Aasen grunnla nemlig den ene av de to offisielle norske målformene, lands- målet eller nynorsken, men Knudsens andel i bokmålet eller riksmålet består i at han var den ivrigste pådriveren for å fornorske dansken, som det ble kalt. Utgangspunktet hans var da den uttalen av dansk skriftspråk som var vanlig i den norske overklassa, den såkalte dannede dagligtale.

  • Norsk Ordbok - the Crown of Nynorsk Lexicography?
    Lars S. Vik0r, Sectionfor Norwegian Lexicography, University ofOslo Norsk Ordbok - the Crown of Nynorsk Lexicography? Abstract Norsk Ordbok 'Norwegian Dictionary' is a multi-volume dictionary of the Norwegian standard variety Nynorsk and the Norwegian dialects. It is one of the very few dictionaries which cover both a written standard language and the oral dialects on which this standard is based. It was initiated around 1930, based on dialect material collected by volunteers and stored in a vast card archive, and on a variety of written sources. At present, three oftwelve planned volumes have appeared, reaching into g. The paper gives a historical outline of the project, followed by a brief description of its structure and the types of information it gives. This is exemplified by the treatment of one particular word, bunad. Finally, some fundamental problems are briefly discussed: 1) the selection of lemmas, 2) the character of the sources, 3) the treatment of dialect forms, 4) the sequence of definitions. The full title of Norsk Ordbok is Norsk Ordbok. Ordbok over det norske folkemâlet og det nynorske skriftmâlet 'Norwegian Dictionary. A dic­ tionary of the Norwegian popular language [i.e. the Norwegian dialects], and the Nynorsk written language'. This title at once indicates the dual aspect of the dictionary: It gives integrated coverage of both oral dialects and a written standard language. This dual aspect is the most special distinguishing feature of Norsk Ordbok as a lexicographic work. Normally, dictionaries cover written standard languages or some aspect of them (or, in the case of pro­ nouncing dictionaries, oral standard language).

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 rnsse F 686 X c2I ABSTRACT The public sector of all western developed countries has become increasingly involved in financing health care during the past century. Today, thirteen OECD countries have passed landmark legislative reforms that call for compulsory prepayment and universal entitlement to comprehensive services, while most of the others achieve similar coverage through a mixture of public and private voluntary arrangements. This study carried out a detailed analysis of why, how and to what effect governments became involved in health care financing in eight of these countries. During the early phase of this evolution, reliance on direct out-of-pocket payment and an unregulated market mechanism for the financing, production and delivery of health care led to many unsatisfactory outcomes in the allocation of scarce resources, redistribution of the financial burden of illness and stabilisation of health care activities.

    Ivar Aasen 1813 – 2013 Ivar Aasen, født i Ørsta 1813 og død i Kristiania 1896, ville ha vore 200 år i år. Dette jubileet vil vi sjølvsagt markere. Aasen var landets største språkforskar. Han er kjend for forskinga si i norske dialektar og som skaparen av eit nytt norsk skriftspråk. Dette kalla han landsmål, ikkje bygdemål, ei offisiell norsk målform som vart heitande nynorsk. Ivar Aasen var òg skjønnlitterær forfattar. Med denne utstillinga markerer vi òg Språkåret 2013 – ei feiring av det norske språkmangfaldet, og at Det Norske Teatret er 100 år.

Gjennom Neumann skulle bli eit avgjerande vendepunkt i livet hans. 30. juli 1841 kom han til Bergen, kom Aasen i kontakt med F. M. Bugge, preses i Det Kongelige Norske og i bagasjen hadde han ei samling av 509 plantar, sirleg ordna etter Linné, og Videnskabers Selskab i Trondheim, som gav Aasen eit stipend til å granske manuskriptet til ein grammatikk, kalla Den søndmørske Dialekt.

James Konrad Puchowski 3 Abstract Abstract Nynorsk is one of two codified orthographies of the Norwegian language (along with Bokmål) used by around 15% of the Norwegian population. Originating out of a linguistic project by Ivar Aasen following Norway’s separation from Denmark and ratification of a Norwegian Constitution in 1814, the history of Nynorsk in civil society has been marked by its association with "language activist" organisations which have to-date been examined from historiographical perspectives (Bucken-Knapp 2003, Puzey 2011).
