...the {100} and {111} surfaces of TiCx and TiNx with different stoichiometries (x ≤ 1.0) were investigated using the density-functional theory, employing Perdew Wang 91 (PW91) under the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) method. The result explains the dominating effect of the TiCx and TiNx stoichiometry...

...in this field is scarce, and few efforts have been made to investigate the factors that may help explain the variation in referral quality. METHODS: Combining a survey among 1298 Norwegian hospital physicians (response rate: 52%) with information on the hospitals and the communities they are serving...

...aspects of an oil spill and on how to respond to it. Blowout modelling, gas-oil-ratios (GOR) and droplet size distributions where studied with respect to their importance for the fate and behavior of the spilled oil, which consequently will determine environmental impact by short- and long-term effects. ...

...volatile compounds from new materials in these buildings. We reviewed longitudinal studies that measured both ventilation rate (i.e. fresh air change rate) and airborne concentration of total volatile organic compounds (TVOC). Rates of emission of TVOC follow a multi-exponential decay trend over time after completion...

...the key measures to decarbonise continental Europe and Japan. Northern Norway has abundant renewable energy and natural gas resources which can be converted to low-carbon hydrogen. However, Norway is located relatively far away from these markets and finding efficient ways to transport this hydrogen to...

The influence from a current on wave drift forces and resulting slowly varying vessel responses can be quite significant. In this paper the effect is reviewed and further investigated. Several works have been published on this complex topic during the last 20–25 years, while it is only to a little extent...
