...assessment of non-technical drivers and barriers influencing further development of the hydrobalancing potential from Norway towards European countries. The rising shares of intermittent renewable energy in Europe will increase the needs for balancing and storage capacity, and Norwegian hydrobalancing is interesting...
...applications and services is constantly changing. In order to achieve higher levels of usability, mobile applications and services need to adapt to changes in context. This paper argues the need for adaptation enabling middleware that simplifies the development of context aware adaptive applications, and makes...
...definition than traditional entrepreneurship when it comes to create and initiate activities or organizations With a social purpose. Societal Entrepreneurship is often seen related to welfeare Challenges in society, where the civil society and voluntary sector is highlighted as a possible solution for the...
...gradients between reduced elements in volcanic rocks and oxygenated seawater to form the basis of a deep microbial biosphere. Progressive alteration of the oceanic crust is argued to be “in part” microbially mediated, but identifying robust textural and geochemical biosignatures with good fossilization...
...relation to its morphology changes under different reactive and non-reactive atmospheres, and its catalytic activity in oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde (MTF), carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, and hydrogen to water. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were applied to analyze structural...
...affect both the level and composition of health and care needs in the population. The aim of this study was to estimate utilisation and cost for a comprehensive range of health and care services by age and gender to provide an in-depth picture of the life-span pattern of service needs and related costs. ...
...compositions and chemical structures hold promise for achieving unprecedented combinations of mechanical properties, microstrutures and irradiation resistance for use in extreme environments. In this work results on two types of HEAs will be presented: based on transition metals (CuCrFeTiV) and refractory...
...near surface wind and wave height are important for many offshore activities like fishing, boating, surfing, installation and maintenance of marine structures. The current work investigates the use of different methodologies to make accurate predictions of significant wave height and local wind. The methodology...
Materials used in the building envelope are exposed to a wide range of varying and harsh conditions over extended periods. Knowledge about these precise conditions allows for improving the design of testing schemes and eventually extending the durability of building materials. In this study, a numerical...
...public health concern, and the scarcity of nephrologists around the globe have necessitated the development of an AI-based system to auto-diagnose kidney diseases. This research deals with the three major renal diseases categories: kidney stones, cysts, and tumors, and gathered and annotated a total of...
...(HSC) are susceptible to cracking in the time before and during setting. It appears that there are two critical time periods for such cracking: An early period ranging from placing to an hour or two, and a late period that covers the setting time and early hardening. The latter is considered here. In this...
