...struggling to find good and attractive housing for new residents and this has implications for rural development (Kommunal- og regionaldepartementet, 2013). Stokkøya, Frøya and Hitra Islands are examples of communities, where economic development based on natural resources and aquaculture, is offering...

...3D integration of micro electromechanical systems (MEMS) and integrated circuits (ICs) represents a typical “More than Moore” scenario: More (hetero) functions are added at the same time as systems are miniaturised by smart system integration. However, 3D integration of MEMS can be even more challenging...

...harmful effects on liquid-immersed transformers and reactors, especially accelerating chemical decomposition of the cellulose molecules and hence solid insulation ageing. This chapter will consider some of the possible sources of moisture in transformers and reactors, especially residual moisture which...

Autonomous ships will introduce a new paradigm in automation: Actual cooperation between humans and automation, instead of automation as a tool for teh human. This in turn requires trust in automation and enough time for humans to safely take over control when automation cannot any longer handle the...
