...time, and we experiment with various techniques.” Erik Kyrkjebø lowers his hands to his side and looks down. On the floor in front of us lie Aiko, Anna Konda, PiKo and Kulko. “Our hope is that that we will be able to train them to receive information, process it, utilize it and learn once and for all...
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...

...aquaculture sector can help to reduce waste and at the same time generate wealth by recycling its industrial hard plastics. “We’ve been looking into everything from administrative terms of reference to rules and regulations, the current state of our knowledge and, not least, levels of acceptance within the...
...the DFM module. We create a simple network of two fractures in a Cartesian 2D grid and add the fracuters to the grid with a hybrid representation. Transmissibilities are then computed with a two-point flux expression, and solve a tracer transport problem. Unstructured grid A somewhat advanced example,...
This robot looks like a black-and-white sea serpent that can wiggle and writhe through the ocean's depths. Photo: Eelume It’s a kind of anaconda, and its first iteration was even named “Anna Konda.” Now, a full decade later, the snake is almost full-grown. And the petroleum industry is interested. “Our...
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...

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...

...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....
