...degree, rational parameterization and rational offsets. The majority of mechanical parts in CAD have a boundary representation that combines planes and primitive surfaces with smooth blends between them. A fixed radius rolling ball construction is used for edge blends and special n-sided patchworks for...
However, their anxiety can be reduced From the Qinling Zhongnan tunnel in China, where artistic lighting and the “Oasis with palms and clouds on the roof” design transformed an originally rather dry and monotonous tunnel environment. ”Driving in tunnels is actually twice as safe as driving in the open air...
Climate and environment are often talked about as if they were one and the same concept, but the meanings behind these terms differ. Nonetheless, the two are tightly woven together. Climate describes the conditions at a given location. This is connected to weather but is used to describe general trends...
The research Council grant will be matched by the FACE industry partners and the total value will be about 60M NOK for the 3 year period. The evaluation of FACE was very positive and in particular the quality of our PhD students and Post Doctoral Researchers was emphasized by the evaluation panel....

...has been discovered. Developments in the North Caspian Sea present a number of challenges and operations are carried out in a sensitive environment. Agip KCO uses the most effective and up-to-date technology and complies with the International Good Oil Field Practice to mitigate the environmental impact...
Exploiting more of the ocean's food potential requires new knowledge and technology. But where and when does it pay to fish for new species such as Calanus? This is when large data sets are needed. Shipping's tradition of data sharing To share information about weather, currents, the seabed, etc. has...
PhD thesis: Biological criteria for successful submergence of physoclistous Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and physostomous Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) reared in sea-cages Øyvind’s PhD research is within the SubCage Biology project. In addition to research investigating the tolerances of both salmon...
The EU-funded project IntelLiGent aims to develop innovative and sustainable high voltage Li-ion cells for next generation (EV) batteries. Battery electrode manufacturing is one of the key hurdles for upscaling of battery cell production, and is critical for enabling European industry to become self-sufficient...
...two thirds.

The work is being done in the LowEmission research...
...urban areas is often highly contaminated. It is therefore important to make it as clean as possible before it pollutes the natural environment. SINTEF and NTNU have been conducting experiments with a new filter that can decontaminate surface run-off from airport runways. Following several laboratory tests...
...for approximate implicitization of 2D NURBS curves, 3D NURBS surfaces, surfaces defined by a 3D curve and a vector, and 3D point sets. The algebraic degree of the approximation is chosen by user, and can in most cases be chosen much lower than the theory of exact implicitization provides. The toolkit...

In addition, COOK INLET RCAC includes nine ex-officio members (non-voting) who represent the U.S. Coast Guard, Alaska Department...
...core deliverable from the MPOWER Project is the architectural specifications of the services and components that will enable developers to rapidly create new and interoperable applications to support elderly and cognitive disabled in a smart-house environment. The technological components of the MPOWER...
...natural and synthetic adsorbents have been studied and developed. For example, activated carbon is one of the major adsorbents used that has also been used for a long time. Adsorbents are used not only to remove organics but also to remove heavy metal ions, chlorine components, phosphates and others....
...off-board elements of the charging system are considered to be within the scope of the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC, whereas the electric powertrain and on-board elements of the charging system would be within the scope of the Framework Directive on Motor Vehicles 2007/46/EC. Automotive EMC Directive...
...materials in the future, making them more efficient and thus producing fewer emissions. And not least, vessels will be propelled with the aid of wave energy. On Tuesday May 12th Rolls Royce signed a new 10-year research and development agreement with NTNU and MARINTEK. The trio have already been collaborating...
...certain organisms to the raw milk. Others get there by chance and shape the end-product. But such games of chance will soon be a thing of the past. Nils Dyrset (left) and Geir Klinkenberg of SINTEF Materials and Chemistry are studying and culturing bacterial colonies in the laboratory in order to identify...
