...silicon monoxide gas (SiO) and carbon. Currently, the carbon sources are solids, however finding a way of substituting the solid carbon with methane could have several advantages. SiC formation was studied in argon, hydrogen and methane containing atmospheres at 1650 °C and 1750 °C. SiO gas was generated...

Spread and growth of zero emission neighbourhoods. This report describes the development of zero emission neighbourhoods and its drivers and barriers towards further development. The Norwegian context is used as a starting point, and the main focus is on technological, market related and societal aspects...

...simulation and opens up new possibilities for operators to prepare for complex procedures. This study evaluated the feasibility of patient-specific rehearsal (PsR) and assessed operators’ appraisal of the VIST-LAB simulator from Mentice. Material and methods: CT-data was segmented and uploaded to...

...allocation of responsibility for the climate change adaptation of buildings and infrastructure among key agencies in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Germany, France and Canada. The report presents the various natural perils insurance and compensation schemes prevailing in these countries with the aim of revealing...

...antisense oligonucleotides, aptamers and small interfering RNAs, and many others are in the pipeline for both academia and industry. A major technology trigger for this development has been progress in oligonucleotide chemistry to improve the drug properties and reduce cost of goods, but the main hurdle...

...place of death varied between countries with different health and social service systems. This was done by investigating typical groups (concerning age, sex and end-of-life trajectory) of older people dying in different places in Finland and Norway. Methods: The data were derived from national registers...

Time-lapse (4D) seismic is an essential tool for monitoring the subsurface in and around producing hydrocarbon or CO₂ storage reservoirs. The seismic time-shifts, in the reservoir as well as in the overburden, depend on the stress changes and strains induced by the subsurface depletion or the inflation. In this...

...demographic properties, travel behavior and last mile practices among e-commerce users. The study shows several correlations between travel behavior and last mile practices: users who prefer home delivery tend to travel less and are distinguished by fewer shopping trips and less car use.Home delivery is typically...

This study looks at the challenges and opportunities in the deep energy renovation market with prefab elements. An analysis of 39 European projects was conducted, and the results where structured in three topics. It clearly emerges from this analysis that finding the “composition” of the recipe of a...

Many safety and security co-analysis methods have been proposed to assure the safety of critical systems, including autonomous systems. One example of safety and security co-analysis approach is Systems-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) plus STPA-Sec. When using STPA combined with STPA-Sec, the security...
