This paper explores the role of sustainability into an environmental and historical IT-supported project, named Gaia Vesteralen. The project utilises spatial AR/projection mapping technology to promote environmental and cultural awareness. We applied a qualitative research approach to explore...

To mitigate the increasing anthropogenic CO₂ emissions, hydrogen is pointed to as a potential low-emission alternative fuel for a range of applications. Gray hydrogen from natural gas reforming is the dominant industrial hydrogen source globally. If CO₂ capture and storage can be added with minimal...

This paper presents a special protection scheme (SPS) that mitigates natural oscillations in the power system by enabling selected adaptive power oscillation damping (APOD) controllers in wind farms or synchronous generators. The SPS activation is triggered by an online power oscillation detection...

As intermittent energy sources like solar energy and wind power emerge, the need for energy storage becomes important, energy availability needs to be ensured also when the Sun is not shining, and the wind is not blowing. Energy storage can also be used for peak shaving purposes during periods of...

Workers, especially those involved in jobs requiring extended standing or repetitive movements, often face significant health challenges due to Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs). To mitigate MSD risks, enhancing workplace ergonomics is vital, which includes forecasting long-term employee postures...

Background: This study was conducted to investigate whether mRNA vaccine technology could be adapted for the ectothermic vertebrate Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Lipid nanoparticle (LNP) technology has been developed and optimized for mRNA vaccines in mammals, stabilizing mRNA and facilitating its...

Developing cost-efficient systems for transporting CO₂ is key to accelerate the deployment of carbon capture and storage. The present work explores the impact of reducing the pressure of tank-based inland and at-sea transport on their techno-economic performance. The study uses established techno...

In the chemical looping gasification (CLG) process, support material is used to improve the mechanical strength and thermal stability of the oxygen carrier (OC). The presence of a support material can affect the properties and performance of the OC, which influences the synthesis gas generation...

Pharmaceuticals, stimulants, and biocides enter the environment via wastewater from urban, domestic, and industrial areas, in addition to sewage, aquaculture and agriculture runoff. While some of these compounds are easily degradable in environmental conditions, others are more persistent, meaning...

In this work, we have investigated the properties of light transport in turbid water for underwater 3D imaging, by comparing literature, simulations, and experiments. The work is motivated by a need for high-quality 3D image data for underwater robotics, also in turbid waters. We present a...

A physics-based approach for pushing the limits of our custom-designed near-infrared (NIR) interactance spectroscopic instruments is presented, demonstrating how more robust measurements in demanding real-world applications can be achieved. Achieving sufficient instrument performance within given...
