...period fish are very sensitive to pollutant exposure, and short-term exposure during embryonic development can result in deformed larvae and increased mortality. Such early life stage mortality and sub-lethal effects can influence the abundance and health of adult fish populations, including species important...
...results of the forces and moments acting on a single propeller blade running in ventilated conditions in calm water and in waves. A model of a Rolls-Royce Azipull thruster with a four-blade propeller was tested with provisions to measure three orthogonal moments including spindle moment and two forces, on a...
Light and its interaction with microalgae are essential concerns in the context of microalgae studies. The optical properties of microalgae have a great impact on the remote sensing ocean color, underwater light distribution and biomass accumulation, to mention some areas. A deep understanding of these...
This paper addresses the possible drainage and collapse of closed flexible cages in sea-based fish farming. A closed flexible cage is a floating bag structure containing water that is enclosed from the ambient water. Possible density stratification in typical fjord locations can cause buoyancy driven...
Marine litter in the Arctic Basin is influenced by transport from Atlantic and Pacific waters. This highlights the need for harmonization of guidelines across regions. Monitoring can be used to assess temporal and spatial trends but can also be used to assess if environmental objectives are reached,...
SMARTFISH H2020 is to develop, test and promote a suite of high-tech systems for the EU fishing sector, thereby optimizing resource efficiency, improving automatic data collection for fish stock assessment, provide evidence of compliance with fishery regulations and reduce the ecological impact of the...
This report elaborates on the toolchains applied for generation scheduling in the two countries Norway and Brazil. Both countries have vast hydropower resources, with numerous geographically widespread and complex reservoir systems. Although the underlying objective of the scheduling is essentially the same...
...maintenance, and repair (IMR) using remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), with particular focus on shore-based control rooms and implications for integrity assessment of subsea facilities. The increased use of such concepts leads to lower carbon footprint, improved working environment, and greater flexibility...

At the European Robotics Forum 2024, this workshop aims to explore the success stories, challenges, and strategies for bridging the gap between current challenges and the future advancement of AI-based analysis of robot-enabled data in the I&M industry. Rimini, Italy Via della Fiera 23 – 47923 Rimini...
Currently there are a lot of input relevant to our activity in HighEFF from COP28, new EU-directives and corresponding national and international activities. The presentation will try to summarize some of it, and put it in perspective. Teams Presenter: Petter Nekså, SINTEF Energi We hereby invite you to the...
The report describes the different types of weather and road information systems in Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, Austria, Germany, Canada and USA...
The physical properties and the behaviour of the refractory lining in Al-electrolysis cells as well in anode baking furnaces are crucial for both economic and environmental aspects of the Al production. This course will give an introduction to the physical and thermal properties of materials used in...
...electrolyte and studied in symmetric cells to investigate the cathode microstructure and electrochemical performance. Three different types of cathodes have been prepared: two prepared from a solution, infiltrated into a screen-printed BZCY27 porous backbone (4 and 12 infiltrations), and one prepared...
