...assembly lines and paint finishing lines. Manual loading and unloading of hangers can pose health and safety risks to workers and constitute a substantial part of production costs. In this work, we explore automation of the loading and unloading process using a robot manipulator arm and model-based object...

...patient-centric digital-first interaction paradigm. While this can improve effectiveness, its impact on patients and physicians is potentially adverse. We aim to understand how general practitioners (GPs) and their patients interact with digitalisation in evolving screening programs. Based on the Norwegian Cervical...

...spills based on thermodynamics and nucleation theory which includes predictions of both triggering and vapor explosion consequence. We discover that the model predictions can be accurately characterized by two independent parameters alone: The initial fraction of methane and the molar mass of the remaining...

...slicks from sea surfaces and to generate small oil-droplet dispersions, which may result in enhanced biodegradation of the oil. In this study, dispersibility and biodegradation of chemically dispersed oils with different physical-chemical properties (paraffinic, naphthenic and asphaltenic oils) were compared...

A small and meso-scale study of the weathering properties of Garantiana crude oil has been performed at 5°C and 13°C in SINTEFs laboratory. The data are used as input for SINTEF's Oil Weathering Model (OWM) to predict the properties and behaviour of the Garantiana crude oil in a spill situation at sea...
