...energy efficiency in school building retrofitting, and at the same time focus on the importance of healthy indoor environments. This report is meant to ease the work for people involved in school retrofitting by presenting existing knowledge, theories and experiences, concerning these topics. The report...

...guidelines for recommended mix design for different types of structures subjected to restrained thermal dilation and autogeneous shrinkage. FA 3.1 should develop further the theoretical and practical implications of crack control by stress calculation, aiming at full incorporation of the technology in...

...properties and surface appearance of aluminium extrusion are critically dependent on the microstructure and texture of the extruded profiles, and the requirements with respect to these aspects may vary with applications. Moreover it is often a challenge to produce extrusions with a consistent and homogenous...

In this study, the mixing and segregation of two particle phases in a horizontal rotating cylinder were investigated via simulations and experiments. Two-dimensional CFD simulations were carried out to simulate the particle behavior in a transverse plane of a rotating cylinder. The Eulerian approach...

...guidebook to improve the quality of newsystems, while facility managers can use it for troubleshooting and maintenanceof existing ventilation systems. The guidebook results from the Norwegian research and development project «reDuCeVentilation» – Reduced energy use in Educational buildings with robust Demand-Controlled...

...on front-end management and governance of major public investment projects in Norway. It is based on studies that explore strengths and weaknesses in the processes of analysis and decision-making during the early phase before the final choice of conceptual solution is made, and the extent to which projects...

...(MEA, 3A1P, 4A1B, and 5A1P), two primary amines with different substituents in the β-position to the nitrogen (1A2P and ISOB), a secondary alkanolamine (DEA), and a sterically hindered primary amine (AMP) were investigated. The relationship between the 15N NMR data of aqueous amines and their ability to...

...countries that have experienced ethnic civil war: Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo. We analyse the strength of attitudes of ethnonationalism on the individual level, and how ethnonationalism is related to local ethnic settlement patterns and previous experiences of local inter-ethnic violence. We combine data...

Therefore, this paper present experiences with the spectrum adaptation term and extended frequency range for different types of floor constructions.  Main results are also compared with Nor¬wegian requirements, sound classes from NS 8175 and recommendations from NBI.  Some results are also given for impact sound...

...project on ‘Substance Use and Abuse in Malawi’ is the result of a research collaboration between SINTEF Health Research, Norway and the Centre for Social Research, University of Malawi. The study was commissioned by FORUT, Campaign for Development and Solidarity, Norway and NGO Gender Coordination Network...
