...wind-assisted propulsion systems (WAPS). On-ship wind measurements will enable the improvement of control, placement and implementation to enable WAPS to realise their full fuel and emission saving potential. WAPS have the potential to contribute significantly to the decarbonization of international...
...dynamic grid capacity and detailed information about consumption and production in the current grid, as well as for a range of development scenarios. Such information enables grid companies to manage operational risks, thereby allowing increased connection of new power generation and consumption. The methods...
Harnessing Power and Dampening Roll Motions Wave energy converters absorb the energy of the waves to produce electricity. For fishing vessels that spend extensive time at sea, this presents an abundant and reliable energy source. Implementing these systems reduces dependence on diesel engines and lowers fuel...
...visual-motor ability. Visual-motor ability is the integration between visual perception and motor skills. More specifically, it is the ability to perform constructive tasks integrating both visual perception and motor skills. The motivation behind Neodroid is to enable robots to assist humans in performing...
...increased system efficiencies and reduced GHG emissions, using potentially emission free electricity. HTHPs are defined as heat pumps providing heat above 100oC, but current commercial systems are limited to around 150oC. The temperature distribution of the industry heat and cooling demand shows the commercial...
Providing methodology for tracing the origin of salmon lice larvae Prevention and control of salmon lice is an ongoing challenge for the aquaculture industry. Increased knowledge about the spread of salmon lice is important in order to better deal with this challenge. SPORLUS will provide methodology...
...salmonis) copepodites at salmon farming sites. Knowledge about the behaviour and vertical distribution of infectious sea lice stages is necessary background information for the aquaculture industry to implement targeted and effective measures against lice infestations. For instance, the depth distribution...
...development of ubiquitous data and services. We in particular seen this in the field of chatbots, that is, machine agents serving as natural language user interfaces to data and service providers in social networks. Already, Apple's Siri, enable easy interaction in situations where text and touch input is impractical...
...traditional chemotherapy typically only 0.001-0.01% of the injected dose reaches the tumor. The remaining drug leads to severe side effect on healthy cells and tissue. Focused ultrasound applied directly at the tumor in combination with intravenous injections of tiny gas bubbles has been shown to increase the...
Better monitoring of BP and its variations is vital to identify and help individuals at risk. However, state-of-the-art 24h measurements are unsatisfactory as they are limited to intermittent measurements (3-4 per hour). The inflatable cuff around the upper arm may cause stress and pain, which thereby introduces...
...make battery testing faster, cheaper and more accurate. We will develop novel digital approaches to extract more value from fewer tests. This will save valuable time and resources in a highly competitive industry. DigiBatt targets a 30 per cent reduction in the time and 20 per cent reduction in the cost...
...recruited to municipal mental health in recent years through grants and a model testing. Municipal psychologists constitute an important low threshold service, mainly directed at children and young people. Despite the model testing goals and psychologists own desire to strengthen public health-oriented activities...
...biogas through demonstration of a protonic membrane reformer (bioPMR) that integrates steam methane reforming and water-gas shift reactions, hydrogen separation, heat management, CO2 capture and hydrogen compression in a single stage. The realization of 6 process steps in a single reactor allows to achieve...

...tailoring both light quality and quantity to a species level. The production of astaxanthin is greatest when the algae are experiencing stress caused by either light or nutrient shortage; however, stress is unfavorable when it comes to cell growth. Hence, maximizing both cell growth and astaxanthin content is...
...better decisions on investments in - and research needs for - the production of salmon in closed systems. At the same time it is expected that the knowledge summary will contribute to a fact-based debate about this type of system. Targets Identify challenges and opportunities through the use of closed...
Within the food and feed industry there is an increasing awareness that optimised production process control is necessary to maintain a competitive edge. However, a premise for control is process feedback - in this case measured food quality parameters. Prediktor, a company specialised in optimising...
Hydropower is the backbone of Norway's power system. It is renewable and well-established, accounting for the majority of Norwegian power production.

The objective of the SCINDEEP project is to ensure effective risk assessment and risk handling of dermal exposure to ultrafine particles (UFPs) in industries were fugitive emissions of particles is a known risk. The SCINDEEP project is a spin-off from the DeMaskUs project where industrial exposure to...
...cost-efficient and miniaturised PGMs recovery and raw material production process. The Platinum Group Metals comprise 6 chemically very similar elements: ruthenium (Ru), rhodium (Rh), palladium (Pd), iridium (Ir), osmium (Os) and platinum (Pt). PGMs are among the least abundant of the Earth's elements and are classified...
