SINTEF Materials and Chemistry and the Functional Ceramics and Nanomaterials Group offer research related to synthesis and applications of inorganic materials and hybrid organic-inorganic systems. Functional oxides and nanostructured materials play a key role in modern society, while usually small in...

...future power systems in Morocco and Egypt, with a high increase in renewable generation capacity. Datasets representing 2030 scenarios have been generated and studied with a simplified grid-market model that takes into account variable renewable generation, energy storage and electricity grid constraints...

...computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and experimental measurements. Experimental residence time distribution (RTD) measurement and CFD simulation are the best methods to study the hydrodynamics of inflow systems. Three-dimensional numerical simulations of the flow and transport characteristics of the system...

...of temperature and salinity tolerance and capability of producing resting eggs in the life cycle. Hence, A. tonsa is one of the most promising copepod species for marine larviculture purposes. The present study conducted to evaluate the impacts of colloidal particles (30 nm - 1µm) and fine solids (2...

The Nordmøre grid and the sieve panel are two of the main devices used to reduce fish bycatch in trawl fisheries targeting shrimp species. However, even when using such devices, some small-sized fish enter the codend of the trawl together with the targeted shrimp. Therefore, bycatch reduction remains...

Marine plastic pollution and continuous capture of marine animals, so-called “ghost fishing”, by abandoned, lost, or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) are global concerns. This study investigated whether biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA) monofilaments can be used to replace conventionally used...

...observed in air cavities in well-designed and well-built wooden façades and roofs. More knowledge is required on the microclimatic conditions in air cavities and roofs, and their implications for organic growth and biological deterioration. The present study collects and presents sensor data from three buildings...

... CH₄, CO, and CO₂ were thermally treated between 1200 and 1500 °C. The gas mixture, comprised of H₂ (33 vol %), CH₄ (12 vol %), CO (28 vol %), CO₂ (25 vol %), and He (2 vol %), was diluted with argon and the effect of reaction temperature (1200–1500 °C), water addition (0–44.3 mol %), and residence time...

...(GDC) and low pressure die casting (LPDC) methods were used to compare the mechanical properties and porosity distribution in a 5-step mould design. Commercially available A356 alloy was used for the experiments. Ar and Ar+H₂ mixture were used to achieve two different hydrogen levels, i.e. 0,1 and 0,2...

...parts of seniors' needs, and lack support for sharing information between services and between users. For developers, the challenge is that it is complex and time consuming to develop high quality, interoperable services, and new techniques are needed to simplify the development and reduce the development...

We look at the real-world problem of the transportation of a single commodity by sea between producing and consuming factories within the same company using a fleet of vessels. The objective is to minimize transportation costs while ensuring satisfactory inventory levels at all the factories. Classical...

...teams, where human and cooperative aspects are vital for team effectiveness. This has been the topic of study in several disciplines, and in this article we describe three team effectiveness models from other fields. We discuss priorities for future studies on software teams, and ask: Do we need our...
