...guidance using sound beacons is an effective aid during the evacuation of smoke-filled road tunnels. This is good news. It is a fact that vehicle drivers and passengers cannot normally expect to be rescued by the emergency services during such accidents. Researchers at SINTEF have been testing a so-called...
...roots. The heat pump technology, based on natural CO₂ as a refrigerant, was originally developed at NTNU and SINTEF in Trondheim. The story begins with legendary professor Gustav Lorentzen at NTNU and SINTEF. In the 1980s, as the international community began phasing out ozone-depleting CFC gases following...
...called exosomes. They are present in all our bodily fluids and play a key role in the transfer of signals between our cells. It has been demonstrated that they are able to cross the brain-blood barrier, which offers great potential for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases. Developing analytical...
...oil mass balance, and cause changes in oil properties which are of importance for oil spill response (density, water content, viscosity, pour point, flash point/ignitability). SINTEF’s Oil Weathering Model (OWM) has been developed to account for these processes on the basis small and meso-scale laboratory...
...around the planet, both in the audience and the roundtables. They were there to listen and be listened to, either during the lectures or in interventions on debates. Their critical stance on the conference — which was carried out amidst a global economic crisis, wars and inequities — were made clear in their...
...experimentally controllable critical parameters of the models. Define and carry out case studies that are “complicated enough” to address key phenomena of real industrial relevance, and at the same time simple enough to clearly demonstrate and communicate some basic principles.

The principal objective of the FeVIND project is to give the project partners knowledge, ability and methodology that make them best world wide when it comes to delivery of services linked to production of cast iron wind turbine components, including: Consistent quality Competitive price Intelligent...
...complicated system which needs multi-stage deposition and consumes a lot of energy releasing high amount of wastes. There are still concerns of automotive producers on anti-corrosion protection of current coating systems especially on cut edges and in hollow structures. Therefore the automotive industry...
...spends up to ten hours per week in meetings. While leaders can have three times as much meeting time. But what is effective meeting culture on the web, and which meetings serve as a stalwart in our new digital everyday life? From time waster to efficiency booster Viktoria Stray, a SINTEF research scientist...
...large research project at SeaLab, which is run by NTNU and SINTEF is studying how best to raise and produce ballan wrasse, a fish used in the salmon farming industry to combat salmon lice.

...in Russia’s federal control and test laboratory in Murmansk. The move is intended to improve our ability to deal with oil-spills in the event of one of the Russian tankers that sail along the coast of Norway going aground or being shipwrecked. Every day, between six and eight Russian tankers sail along...
SINTEF, are to find out whether a land-based laboratory of this sort can be set up. “Such a laboratory would supply us with knowledge more cheaply and rapidly and under better controlled conditions that we could obtain in any other way,” says chief scientist Erik Lindeberg of SINTEF Petroleum Research. “At...
...mobile computing through the case of city exploration. It discusses how the different techniques of tailoring, sharing of user-generated content and code, and service composition can be exploited by users to create a tailored city exploration.

...developers. Several usability issues were discovered. For instance, component settings have to be refined, connections between components to be improved, and save and load functions to be added. Several issues have been clarified based on the feedback provided by the evaluation workshop participants. The workshop...
Automatic differentiation is an alternative to symbolic and numerical differentiation.

...control centre, but in most cases there is a trade off between the negative and positive effects of measures. The weak points therefore do not necessarily require design changes, but in many cases the purpose is rather to prepare and call the operators' attention to possible safety problems. The identified...
