Process description and energy consumption for the HAL anode baking furnace is given. Baking represents the most expensive step in the production of anodes for the aluminum industry. The total production capacity in Hydro (Norway) today is 290.000 tons/y. The total energy consumption in modern baking...

...playing the roles of authors and editors is undeniable these days [1]. New media, not only the Internet, are enabling people to become active users related to content production and sharing, and in co-creation of User Generated Content (UGC). In particular younger users and heavy users of Internet use...

...introduce a novel multiscale approach for reservoir simulation as an alternative to industry-standard upscaling methods. In our approach, reservoir pressure and total velocity is computed separately from the fluid transport. Pressure is computed on a coarse grid using a multiscale mixed-finite element method...

Bond strength and hermeticity of plasma activated bonded (PAB) Si-Si interfaces are reported. Bonding of 100 mm Si(1 0 0) wafers was performed. An average bond strength of 9.0+/-3.9 MPa was achieved without performing any annealing steps. Cavities bonded in vacuum were found to be hermetic based on detection...

...increasing in the polar and the deepwater regions, with the risk for oil discharges in these environments. Following discharges to the marine environment the oil is exposed to a variety of physical, chemical and environmental processes, and in polar regions these include low temperature and ice formation. Even...

...health personnel spend a lot of their time making and updating rosters manually. By using good, automatic tools for this work, a considerable amount of time will be freed for working with patients. An approach using CSP to create the initial solution and Iterated Local Search for optimization will be presented...

...including imaging and therapy in a single system consisting of MBs stabilized by polyethylene glycol (PEG)-coated polymeric nanoparticles (NPs). The NPs, containing lipophilic drugs and/or contrast agents, are composed of the widely used poly(butyl cyanoacrylate) (PBCA) polymer and prepared in a single...

...specific airport processes are starting to be increasingly utilised by many large airports. However many processes happen in parallel and a more complex optimisation model is required, which can consider multiple processes simultaneously. This paper focuses on the importance...

...status). A number of methodological and practical ques-tions arise when designing such a barrier status panel. How to define indicators for the barrier elements? How to set traffic lights on a barrier element level based on the status of the indicators? How to aggregate and present element status information...

Model-driven engineering promotes models and model transformations as the primary assets in software development. The models@run-time approach provides an abstract representation of a system at run-time, whereby changes in the model and the system are continuously reflected in each other. In this paper...

Setting and objective The growing elderly population and the rising number of people with chronic diseases indicate an increasing need for rehabilitation. Norwegian municipalities are required by law to offer rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to investigate how rehabilitation work is perceived...

Incident Response is the process of responding to and handling ICT security related incidents involving infrastructure and data. This has traditionally been a reactive approach, focusing mainly on technical issues. Incident Response Management (IRMA) combines traditional incident response with a proactive...
