...the {100} and {111} surfaces of TiCx and TiNx with different stoichiometries (x ≤ 1.0) were investigated using the density-functional theory, employing Perdew Wang 91 (PW91) under the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) method. The result explains the dominating effect of the TiCx and TiNx stoichiometry...

...in this field is scarce, and few efforts have been made to investigate the factors that may help explain the variation in referral quality. METHODS: Combining a survey among 1298 Norwegian hospital physicians (response rate: 52%) with information on the hospitals and the communities they are serving...

...aspects of an oil spill and on how to respond to it. Blowout modelling, gas-oil-ratios (GOR) and droplet size distributions where studied with respect to their importance for the fate and behavior of the spilled oil, which consequently will determine environmental impact by short- and long-term effects. ...

A study of mountain-forced wind, wind-shear and turbulence was conducted in order to reveal general characteristics of terrain-induced turbulence nearby airports in mountainous areas. Special studies of the topography close to a number of Norwegian airports that currently receive hourly forecasts of...

...volatile compounds from new materials in these buildings. We reviewed longitudinal studies that measured both ventilation rate (i.e. fresh air change rate) and airborne concentration of total volatile organic compounds (TVOC). Rates of emission of TVOC follow a multi-exponential decay trend over time after completion...

Open Service Innovation (OSI) platforms invite customers and other users to co-create innovative ideas and generate experiences that will potentially create value. In this paper, we propose a framework for designing experiences for service users of OSI platforms. The framework utilise the following four...

This developer's and user's note has been written to help developers and users of GRIDDLER and VISTA to maintain and use their recent CGNS (CFD General Notation System) interface. The present note contains a description of the first version of GRIDDLER and VISTA with this option. This version has implemented...

...design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) allow geometries of almost arbitrary shape and topology to be created. However, CAD/CAM software has long been plagued by problems of robustness when it comes to modelling the results of operations such as intersections. Such geometries can lack watertightness and correct...
