Intelligent use of L.E.D. lights to prevent sexual maturation and reduce sea lice infestation Background Artificial lights are routinely used as a management tool in Atlantic salmon farming to produce constant photoperiods that reduce or prevent incidence of sexual maturation. Such sexual maturation...
Gyro Gearloose has invented a super-machine that sorts cheap scrap and metal poured into a tube, while out of another pipe emerge gold and shiny new coins. Now, SINTEF scientists are trying to do the same thing. One of SINTEF Materials and Chemistry’s laboratory halls on Gløshaugen in Trondheim is dominated...

SINTEF is a partner in the project which is open to cities, housing developers, and companies working on sustainable construction or renovation...
On the moon there is no liquid water, no wind, fairly strong radiation, and huge temperature differences between day and night. And as we know: modest gravity. Nevertheless, scientists believe it is possible to build greenhouses on the moon. Photo taken by Apollo 16 / NASA Standard No humans have been...
In addition to enable coherent and efficient transfer of models between computer aided design tools and the finite element analysis package, isogeometric analysis will be useful in many ways. We have mentioned below (listed alphabetically) some aspects where we think isogeometric analysis will make a...
...scientists at SINTEF and NTNU have been honoured by an award from the International Energy Agency (IEA) for their contribution to solving the greenhouse problems caused by leaking refrigeration systems and heat pumps. Senior scientist Petter Nekså and his colleagues at SINTEF and NTNU helped to launch...
...innovative, and was a world leader in many respects during the 1980s and 90s. Our competence was in the process of frittering away, but COIN will now bring Norwegian concrete research back to international leadership. By developing new, advanced materials, new construction techniques and new design concepts...

...lighter cars in the future. Materials combinations that reduce product weights (and thus energy consumption) are high on the wish lists of car manufacturers. Such products include parts that are made of a combination of steel and the lighter aluminium. In order to bypass the effects of changes in materials...

SmartPipe project has been ongoing since 2006 when the Research Council of Norway and a group of oil companies provided about 25 million to fund the research programme. As oil production moves into increasingly deeper waters and more environmentally-sensitive areas, the pipelines carrying the hot well stream...

From the Algebraic Geometry point of view NURBS are rectangular...
The aim of this section is to describe how to conduct Scenario Analysis, when it might be appropriate to perform it and give a framework of types of scenarios to be developed for analysis. Introduction This section presents the elements of the Scenario Analysis in detail. The Scenario Analysis comprises...
