...hearing loss live in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and it is estimated that 34 million children have a hearing loss [1]. Furthermore, 60% of hearing loss in children is due to avoidable causes that can be prevented. The aim of this study is to explore the prevalence and cause of hearing loss...

...(MP) and nanoplastic (NP) environmental fate and hazard assessments utilise spherical, monodisperse polymer particles that do not represent the continuum of partially degraded, irregular-shaped MPs in the natural environment. A such, there is a strong need for environmentally relevant test and reference...

...preliminary work on modeling and validation dynamic adaptation. The proposed approach is on the use of aspect-oriented modeling (AOM) and models at runtime. Our approach covers design and runtime phases. At design-time, a base model and different variant architecture models are designed and the adaptation model...

...an overview of the research reports produced in the period 1986 – 2004 by SINTEF Technology and Society, Department of Safety and Reliability.Only unrestricted reports are referenced, however both Norwegian and English reports are included in the overview. A short abstract is provided for the reports...

It is shown how a service-oriented and model-based approach for Enterprise Architecture and Enterprise Engineering can provide agile support for the different abstraction and modeling levels from business model and service innovation to cloud-based service realisation. Business model innovation is supported...

...technologies are generally less energy intensive and hence more economic.  Since catalysis plays a central role in these chemistries, areas where catalyst development is required will also be addressed, in addition to areas where research in materials chemistry and process development are needed.  The presentation...

The inherent disadvantages of traditional nonflexible aerogels, such as high fragility and moisture sensitivity, severely restrict their applications. To address these issues, different techniques have been used to incorporate the flexibility in aerogel materials; hence, the term “flexible aerogels”...

...certificates) and electric power. In the model solution, the storage of el-certificates is managed optimally and certificate prices are given by the shadow price on the certificate storage. Case studies show how simulated prices are affected by the capacity for renewable electricity generation and by the...
