A modelling approach is presented that couples a detailed model of the heat flow through the insulation and walls of a cryogenic storage tank to a description of the fluid that accounts isobaric boil-off and for thermal stratification of the gas phase. We apply this approach to simulate the boil-off...

Oxidative stress and neuroinflammation play a pivotal role in pathomechanisms of brain ischemia. Our research aimed to formulate a nanotheranostic system for delivering carnosic acid as a neuroprotective agent with anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties to ischemic brain tissue, mimicked by...

Integrating renewable energy in distribution or transmission power systems poses a challenge to traditional protection methods. Photovoltaic and wind energy generation is connected to the grid through power electronic converters. The converters do not respond to faults in the same way as traditional...

This paper presents the results of field investigations conducted during the establishment of the permafrost site of the Norwegian GeoTest Sites (NGTS) project. The soil investigation methods used include total sounding, drilling, and sampling with a conventional auger and core and piston sampling...

State-of-the-art report for performing nonlinear finite element analysis to assess the structural integrity of deteriorated reinforced concrete structures. In accordance with the scope and objects set out in work package H3.5....

The Excon project develops a decision-support model to manage large concrete structures by evaluating strategies that balance cost, environmental impact, and lifespan extension. It compares maintenance approaches with full replacement by integrating environmental and economic data. Since bridges are...

This contribution details the fabrication procedure together with electrical characterisation results. The pre-irradiation evaluation of the sensor assemblies will be shown and the irradiation campaign will be described. Post-irradiation results will be discussed and analysed and future planned...

New technology enables power grid operators for the first time to monitor the dynamics of the power grid from hour to hour. The flexibility in operation this facilitates is crucial for an age of unpredictable power sources such as wind and solar. However, such advanced metering infrastructure (AMI...

The paper explores knowledge recombination by analysing how knowledge networks in established technological fields influenced the formation of the emerging field of green shipping in the period 2007–2018. The authors build hypotheses to investigate whether important...

As energy transitions are moving from the formative phase of technology development and R&D to the acceleration or growth phase issues related to resource formation increase in importance. However, our understanding of resource formation processes to scale up new technologies has several gaps...

Abstract In hydropower (HP) reservoirs, the large and rapid variations in water level can destabilize the ice cover, posing hazards to people and wildlife crossing the surface. Monitoring ice conditions to control safety in such systems is often challenging, and the role of water level regulation...
