Profilometry is proposed as a novel non-intrusive image-based technique to capture the profile of the air–water interface as a dense point cloud. It can be classified as an active stereo-vision method applied to the study of gravity-driven water waves and specifically developed to be used in large...
English summary Norms of Parenting – Civilization and Resistance in Norwegian Child Welfare Services In today’s society, the expectations of parenthood are higher than ever, with seeking expert knowledge now considered a routine aspect of modern parenting. Parenting ideals have become highly child...
The impact of novel supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) on the phase assemblage and the pore structure in cement pastes was studied and linked to their impact on the compressive strength in mortar. The composite cements analysed had a composition of 78 wt.% Portland cement, 18 wt.% SCM and...
Train scheduling is a critical activity in rail traffic management, both off-line (timetabling) and on-line (dispatching). Time-Indexed formulations for scheduling problems are stronger than other classical formulations, like Big-M. Unfortunately, their size grows usually very large with the size of...
Hydrogen is considered a promising solution for global decarbonisation as an alternative to fossil fuels. However, it can interact with and brittle most metallic materials and is highly flammable. These properties call for a systematic investigation of physical and chemical hazards and for the...
This reflection note is about cheese. Over the years, my research has focused broadly on data infrastructures (Monteiro & Parmiggiani, 2019; Parmiggiani & Grisot, 2020). While working with good colleagues and practitioners, I discovered that data infrastructures are a lot about day-to day, mundane...
Trenchless pipe renewal can be a more cost-, time- and environmentally effective alternative to traditional open-cut replacement. It reduces service disruptions for surrounding infrastructures and is often cheaper, especially when extensive excavation works are necessary, particularly in cold...
Buildings account for approximately 40% of global energy use, largely due to heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Advanced control strategies, such as model predictive control (MPC), are crucial for optimizing energy usage in smart buildings. For effective MPC, high-fidelity...
Hydrogen has great potential on the path towards decarbonization of the energy and transport sectors and can mitigate the urgent issue of global warming. It can be sustainably produced through water electrolysis with potentially zero emissions, and efficiently used (e.g., in fuel cell systems...
Fishing gears are conventionally made from non-biodegradable materials including polyamide (PA). When lost in the ocean, these gears have long-lasting impacts, including marine littering, microplastics production, leaching of chemicals, and an extended period of ghost fishing due to its durability...
Alloying is usually a necessary operation before casting, and alloying elements with higher melting point than the melt temperature that typically gives slow dissolution rates. Higher aluminium content in Al-Mn master alloys corresponds to higher dissolution rates. Oxide layers towards the Mn alloy...
I fjor ble det rapportert om over 90 000 vannskader i Norge som ofte skyldes byggefeil og klimaendringer. Nå vil SINTEF ha endring....
