...degrees during the day and fall to as low as minus 183 degrees at night. So says SINTEF researcher Galina Simonsen. However, in spite of this, Simonsen and her colleagues working as part of the international project LunarPlant, which is being headed by NTNU Social Research and the Centre for Interdisciplinary...
...industry uses seismic measurements to locate oil-and gas reservoirs. This method works by sending a pressure wave into the ground, which gets reflected back when it meets a geological boundary. An example of a geological boundary is a boundary between sand and rock layers. This wave is then reflected back...
Eve is the brightest day (night) of the year, and is celebrated by burning of a large fire. In 2009, summer solstice is on 21st June, but in Norway St. Hans is celebrated in the 23rd every year. We will take the historical tram from the city centre to Lian and enjoy an aperitif on our way. Mid-summer fire...
...many as ten thousand larvae, total production along the Norwegian coast is relatively low. This is due to low water temperatures and high predation rates by other crustaceans and fish”, he says. This is why at Tjeldbergodden surplus heat from the methanol plant is used to create optimal conditions for these...
Pillar coordinates Each (linear) pillar is defined by two distinct points on it, which is specified by two triplets of x-, y- and z-coordinates. There are (nx + 1) x (ny + 1) pillars in the grid, which gives a total of 6 x (nx + 1) x (ny + 1) double values in the data file. The unit is metres. Data files:...
The residual stress simulation tool WeldsimS. Constitutive models & testing. New method for determining the flow stress dependency on temperature and microstructure. New approach to characterise the crack tip stress field in the presence of residual stresses. A parameter study on the crack-tip constraint...
...outcomes of the project are a new pressure transducer TP4000, as well as other pressure transducer versions in different pressure ranges. A demonstration and evaluation kit for this transducer is now available as one of the public deliverables from the project. Download the report. Order the TP4000 demonstration...
Spondylolithesis/iStock Standard Recently, it was reported that a vaccine against the new coronavirus could be ready for testing on animals within one month, and on humans within three months. This process normally takes several years, but innovative vaccine technology can do the job at record speeds. The new...

...transistor in 1962, and soon afterwards, their first integrated circuit. Meanwhile, they had also developed the “SI–beam”, which was to become the core of a new pressure sensor; a tiny pin of silicon doped with foreign atoms “à la transistor”. The beam was industrialised by the Aker Group, and Akers Electronics...
Here you find instance definitions and the best known upper and lower bounds (to our knowledge) for the 34 instances of the mgval (ß=0.30) benchmark derived from the CARP by Bosco et al. [BLMV]. The values for the upper and lower bounds reported in the table only include traversal costs, i.e. service...

Here we see a red sea cucumber spawning – in the lab! This is no small sensation because normally these creatures live at great depths and in complete darkness. Photo: Jan Ove Evjemo. Standard Researchers have been working to crack this code for more than three years. Both sexes look identical, so...
The Web is truly becoming ubiquitous now that more and more people own a mobile device with a web browser. Many users want to exploit the fact that they can be online practically 24 hours a day, and they have ideas about what services they need. However, most of the users are not proficient in any programming...

Please explain your approach and the methods and tools you use to obtain your goals. - Using DFT calculations...
...reduction of potential harmful environmental effects associated with produced water discharges. This effort was embodied in the DREAM (Dose-related Risk and Effect Assessment Model) project (Johnsen et al, 2000), from which the Environmental Impact Factor for produced water (EIFPW) was developed.
