...consortium come from Norway, Romania and United Kingdom. From October 2006 a partner from the Republic of Moldova joined the project. SINTEF (coordinator) SINTEF is a multidisciplinary organisation structured into six business areas. The participating institute, Information and Communication Technology (ICT)...
...basic idea of the MsMFE method is to use a mixed finite-element method on a coarse scale with special basis functions that satisfy local flow problems and thereby account for subgrid variations. This way, an approximate fine-scale solution is constructed at the cost of solving a coarse-scale problem Tutorials...
...human exposure to electromagnetic fields have been considered by a number of international organisations, including the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Commission for Non-ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). Other relevant organisations are ILO, IRPA, ISO, CENELEC, IEC, CIE, IEEE...
Infrastructure Fund. The Institute won in fact 10 per cent of the total of MNOK 500 made available. Sixteen laboratories were successful in this funding round, and MARINTEK was one of only three that won MNOK 50 or more. In a comment in connection with the funding results, the Research Council of Norway described...
Currently, oil, gas and electricity are all used for heating in a number of industrial processes. If heat pumps can be used instead, this will provide a long-awaited environmental boost and a greening of the bottom line, according to Bantle (left) and Nekså.

...for the development, construction and installation of a 225 kW floating wind-turbine for research on offshore wind energy. “Hywind” is the name of the wind-turbine concept that is being developed by Statoil. Construction of the new turbine will now give research and industry open access to test data...
Verdal with subsequent testing by SINTEF. The results will be important for selection of steels for more thorough examination in Tasks 2.2 and 2.3. If better HAZs and weld metals are available, the results may influence the Project Guidelines since these were made based on materials with insufficient robustness...
As a producer, processor and distributor of materials (glass, ceramics, plastics, cast iron, etc.), Saint-Gobain transforms raw materials into advanced products for use in our daily lives, as well as developing tomorrow's new materials. Saint-Gobain operates in 64 countries worldwide, s one of the world's...
Due to the way Li & Lim generated the test instances, the number of tasks in these instances are different and slightly higher than the nominal value. Here you find instance definitions and the best known solutions (to our knowledge) for the 200 tasks instances of Li & Lim's PDPTW benchmark problems...
...of artefacts. It also enhances ergonomics and the product’s commercial competitiveness through product differentiation. Natural and intuitive, yet mathematically correct, creation and modification of surfaces is a fundamental requirement when flexibility and intuition have to be privileged to unleash...
...patients with safe and correct antibiotic treatments. The test analyses a patient’s blood samples by scanning across a specially designed disc-shaped cartridge which is about the same size as a traditional CD. But instead of audio tracks, the cartridge is equipped with small channels and compartments in...
...finding is that we were able to demonstrate a lot of similarities between training at low and high intensity in variable terrain,” says PhD candidate Trine Margrethe Seeberg at NTNU’s Department of Neuromedicine and Movement Science.

...across the world. But the industry is known for challenges related to safety, both in the form of frequent field accidents, and fish that escape the enclosure. Farmed fish on the loose and the resulting spread of unwanted gene material to vulnerable wild salmon flocks is a known problem. In addition, the aquaculture...
...continuous balance between production and consumption. Hence it is particularly important to ensure stable and efficient system operation. In the event of imbalance the grid may oscillate, which may lead to failure affecting large areas, with serious technical, financial and social consequences. In the worst...
