Since the end of the 1990’s, several unconventional hydrocarbon production operations and geological CO₂ storage projects have taken place in different countries with various monitoring plans. These plans often include either active or passive seismic monitoring in order to provide feedback on the geomechanical...

...natural quartz sand and as a consequence, their properties are influenced by the presence of water and hydroxyls in the raw quartz. In this work, diffuse reflectance IR, 1H magic angle spinning NMR, and Raman spectroscopy were used to investigate the influence of thermal treatment on water and hydroxyl groups...

...analyzes and contrasts the framing goals and limitations that must be considered when energy master planning is conducted for communities in six different countries. The analyses will be based on findings from countries participating in the International Energy Agency's "Energy in Buildings and Communities...

Presented here is experimental and theoretical work on phase transitions and separation time scales for CO₂−crude oil mixtures with CO₂ content ranging from pure to 79 mol %. The experimental work was performed using the wheel flow loop located at the SINTEF Multiphase Flow Laboratory. Under constant...

Smidig coaching har nylig blitt innført for å støtte suksessfull anvendelse og bruk av smidige metoder i programvareutvikling. Imidlertid jobber smidige coacher med problemstillinger som også hører til arbeidspsykologi, blant annet teamkommunikasjon, arbeidsmiljø og ledelse. Formålet med denne...

We examine design and Human Factors supporting sensemaking, resilience and performance on the bridge of the frigate HNoMS Helge Ingstad that collided with the tanker Sola TS in 2018. We are presenting a framework to evaluate the design based on a system perspective. The frigate was a modern ship, with...

Facing increasing pressure to decarbonize, innovation within the shipping sector has turned to low-and zero carbon solutions. In this paper we investigate how the development and implementation of biodiesel and liquefied biogas (LBG) in Norwegian coastal shipping has been influenced by the technological alignment...

...satisfaction in relation to two different control strategies (fully automatic and manual) for blind and ceiling lights use in cell offices was carried on in Trondheim, Norway. A group of 11 participants with varying age, gender, and ethnicity, used two test cells of a laboratory as a workspace primarily carrying...

...the torrefaction of different parts of Norway spruce (stem wood, bark, and stump) was studied. Three different torrefaction temperatures were applied: 225, 275, and 300 °C with 30 and 60 minutes isothermal periods. The untreated and torrefied biomass materials were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis...

...vegetable oil (ester) and mineral oil. The experiments have shown a catalytic effect of copper in oxidation of hydrocarbons and also the anti-oxidative effect of dibenzyl disulphide when combined with copper addition. The catalytic effect of copper is found in hydrocarbon as base oil and hexadecane, but not...

...evaluates and compares curtailment situations in selected countries using an objective and quantitative evaluation tool named the “C-E map” (curtailment-energy share map). The C-E map is a correlation map between curtailment ratios that mean curtailed wind (or solar) energy per available energy and energy...
