...representative's role and position must be taken seriously, and could in itself be a threat to safety. In this case a close dialogue between the parties is needed. Mutual understanding and acceptance of the safety representative's contribution to safety performance are fundamental for mutual trust and constructive...

The comparison between climate and comfort represents the basis of sustainable design and determines the grade of complexity coming across the design process. A relatively simple approach, aiming to maximize solar heat gains and minimize thermal losses during the whole year, traditionally characterized...

...excavation materials (REM). The aim was to document the stable performance of REM and to suggest its suitability for unbound applications. Test operations were performed at different schedules with the Los Angeles (LA) and micro-Deval (MD) test machine. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was performed to...

...4 nursing homes, and 4 apartment buildings in the greater Oslo region. Flow and temperature measurements were performed on the DHW production system in each building’s heating plant, for a du- ration of at least 6 weeks. The measurements were con- ducted with an interval of 1 s, and then averaged for...

In order to develop well-performing aluminium electrical conductors, the role of iron and processing method on electrical and mechanical properties was studied for an AA1370 alloy. Firstly, Ø3 mm cold drawn wires were subjected to a solid solution heat treatment (640 °C/1 h) followed by artificial aging...

...assessment of non-technical drivers and barriers influencing further development of the hydrobalancing potential from Norway towards European countries. The rising shares of intermittent renewable energy in Europe will increase the needs for balancing and storage capacity, and Norwegian hydrobalancing is interesting...

...applications and services is constantly changing. In order to achieve higher levels of usability, mobile applications and services need to adapt to changes in context. This paper argues the need for adaptation enabling middleware that simplifies the development of context aware adaptive applications, and makes...

...definition than traditional entrepreneurship when it comes to create and initiate activities or organizations With a social purpose. Societal Entrepreneurship is often seen related to welfeare Challenges in society, where the civil society and voluntary sector is highlighted as a possible solution for the...

...gradients between reduced elements in volcanic rocks and oxygenated seawater to form the basis of a deep microbial biosphere. Progressive alteration of the oceanic crust is argued to be “in part” microbially mediated, but identifying robust textural and geochemical biosignatures with good fossilization...
