However, there are no overhead electrical lines in the terminal area, as they would get in the way of the equipment that lifts goods and containers onto and off the train wagons. That...
Global operations and the challenges of operating internationally NTNUs Globalisation programme, SINTEFs MARGIN project, SFI Norman and the SMARTLOG network invite to a seminar on how firms can successfully operate in increasingly international networks that connect suppliers, operations and customers. 22...
...as soon as possible, and in any case, no later than September 15 2019. Chapter format Each chapter must be written in textbook form and should function as a user guide and tutorial for a specific module. To this end, the chapter must motivate the module, why it is interesting, and what types of problems...
...be captured from large power stations and industrial plants. Many of the methods in use today employ chemicals or advanced materials to extract CO2 from flue-gases. But now, a chilly alternative is showing signs of heating up. When CO2-rich gases are compressed and refrigerated, the carbon dioxide turns...
Here you find instance definitions and best known solutions for the 100 customer instances of Solomon's VRPTW benchmark problems from 1987. The version reported here has a hierarchical objective: 1) Minimize number of vehicles 2) Minimize total distance. Distance and time should be calculated with double...
...scientist Sigrid K. Dahl from SINTEF Materials and Chemistry means to use simulation models to make that dream a reality. Did you know that cardiovascular disease is the most common case of illness and death in the western world? This is a major problem, and a wide range of challenges is involved. Unfortunately...
...this in a general framework and to apply it to the specific problem of 3D medial axis computation. Medial axis computation is regarded as one of the approaches to be explored to facilitate the merger of CAD and finite element representations by isogeometric representation and analysis. For more details...
Spill Contingency Guideline for Arctic and ice covered waters based on the results from this JIP. The choice of response measures for an oil spill in ice will depend on a number of factors including the ice regime (dense ice, slush ice, low ice concentration etc.) and the presence of different natural resources...

The development of batteries and battery systems is progressing at an unprecedented rate. A key component in this rapid development is accurate, powerful, and efficient multiscale modelling tools, supporting the design and system integration of high-performance electrochemical battery cells. Multiscale...

...innovation centre that SINTEF helped to establish in Bosnia and Herzegovina has given young people new opportunities in the city of Tuzla. Fifty work-places for highly trained people seeking work have been created in the course of the past year, and there will be yet more by the end of 2006. From the...
CO2 capture and storage at Mongstad near Bergen in Western Norway, Scandinavian scientists have classified potential Nordic CCS projects in order of cost. It turns out that the most reasonably priced measures are similar to those that Statoil has already implemented on the Sleipner and Snøhvit offshore...
