Simulation and use of simulators in training of different professions has many advantages. Some of them are training in a risk free environments: the surgeon can work without risk to the patient or driver training can take place without risk to other road users or the driver. In addition, training with...

...safe and environmentally friendly manner. Experts at SINTEF have developed advanced transport models used to guide and inform infrastructure developments on a national, regional, and local scale. By analysing the effects of system changes – such as road development and construction, toll roads and parking...

Photocatalysis and photoelectrochemistry are two important fields in the study of light-induced chemical reactions. Photocatalysis involves the acceleration of a photoreaction in the presence of a catalyst. The process typically begins when the catalyst absorbs photons (light energy) and generates electron-hole...
