Denne studien undersøker grunnopplæringen i HMS for verneombud og AMU-medlemmer i norsk arbeidsliv, med fokus på tre hovedproblemstillinger: 1) hvilken opplæring gis i dag? 2) hvilken betydning har HMS-opplæringen i praksis? og 3) hvordan fungerer dagens regelverk for HMS-opplæringen? Studien...
SINTEF har gjennomført en kartlegging for å avdekke behovet for et eget sektorvist responsmiljø (SRM) for Bygg-, Anleggs- og Eiendomsnæringen (BAE) i Norge. Basert på intervjuer med aktører i bransjen og andre interessenter konkluderer vi at bransjen ikke er moden for et fullverdig SRM, men alle...
Climate change impact on rainfall-induced landslide susceptibility of a certain region is often implied based on expected changes in rainfall patterns and rarely explicitly quantified. This study aims to address this gap by implementing coupled landslide and climate modelling chains to explicitly...
The French National Metrology Institute (LNE) initiated a series of events to identify priorities for test methods and their harmonisation that directly address regulatory needs in Nanomedicine. One of these workshops entitled “The International Standardisation Roadmap for Nanomedicine” held in...
In this work, industrially processed silicon kerf loss (abbreviated to silicon kerf) from the photovoltaic industry is assessed as an anode material for the lithium-ion battery (LIB). The study includes both a characterization of processed silicon kerf from different sources and a comparison with...
This paper presents a comparison of three different observers for estimating secondary side information in inductive power transfer (IPT) charging systems. The considered observer methods include the Luenberger observer (LBO), Kalman filter (KF) and extended Kalman filter (EKF). The main purpose is...
Fully automatic cardiac segmentation can be a fast and reproducible method to extract clinical measurements from an echocardiography examination. The U-Net architecture is the current state-of-the-art deep learning architecture for medical segmentation and can segment cardiac structures in real-time...
The ubiquitous and global ecological footprint arising from the rapidly increasing rates of plastic production, use, and release into the environment is an important modern environmental issue. Of increasing concern are the risks associated with at least 16,000 chemicals present in plastics, some of...
