SINTEF MiNalab has a long track record in advanced development and flexible scale production in Microelectromechanical system (MEMS), micro and nano- fabrication and silicon radiation sensors. The technology has evolved through a series of challenging projects and development programmes since the...

Phenazine natural products/compounds possess a range of biological activities, including anti-microbial and cytotoxic, making them valuable starting materials for drug development in several therapeutic areas. These compounds are biosynthesized almost exclusively by eubacteria of both terrestrial...

The genome of the facultative ribulose monophosphate (RuMP) cycle methylotroph Bacillus methanolicus encodes two bisphosphatases (GlpX), one on the chromosome (GlpXC) and one on plasmid pBM19 (GlpXP), which is required for methylotrophy. Both enzymes were purified from recombinant Escherichia coli...

It is well established that micro-organisms colonize a variety of extreme environments, including habitats like oil reservoirs deep inside the earth crust. Here, we present the results of a comparative high-coverage DNA sequencing study of metagenomes derived from two different oil reservoirs, both...

Background: Empirical evidence shows that dependency cycles among software components are pervasive in real-life software systems, although such cycles are known to be detrimental to software quality attributes such as understandability, testability, reusability, build-ability and maintainability...

The paper presents the finding of a study conducted in order to analyse the characteristics of flow in a real complex terrain in the vicinity of the Kristiansand Airport (Kjevik), Norway. The paper starts with a brief description of the governing equations, their numerical discretization and the...

The introduction of an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) into the power grid forces the power industry to address information security threats and consumer privacy more extensively than before. The industry needs practical advice on methods and tools to use in this context. Threat modeling is...

A full 90% of all the data in the world has been generated over the last two years. The internet companies are awash with data that can be grouped and utilised. Is this a good thing?...
