The effect of applying an electric field to an emulsion of water and oil is to induce attractive forces and enhance the coalescence of adjacent water droplets. In the oil industry, it is common to utilize this process, called electrocoalescense, to enhance oil-water separation by enlarging the water...
Norge har et mål om å halvere matsvinnet fra 2015 til 2030. Matsvinnutvalgets utgangspunkt har vært at til tross for at det gjøres mye godt arbeid i mange sektorer, virksomheter og av enkeltpersoner, vil dette målet ikke vil bli nådd. Utvalget har derfor prioritert å foreslå tiltak som samlet sett...
Yield stress is commonly used to describe the rheological properties of drilling fluids. There are various methods to define such yield stress. Some approaches provide yield stress values sufficient to derive a proper fluid mechanical model while other approaches define the fluid properties as...
This report provides an analysis of the limitations of the current Norwegian practice of measuring work conditions, and offers suggestions for improving practice. We discuss the needs for updated and representative measurement of working conditions in Norway, and argue that despite Norway’s strong...
The production and consumption of plastic products had been steadily increasing over the years, leading to more plastic waste entering the environment. Plastic pollution is ubiquitous and comes in many types and forms. To enhance or modify their properties, chemical additives are added to plastic...
This literature review identified 2513 articles, and after a screening process we were left with 64 European articles. We found that qualitative methods like literature/document analysis and interviews was used more often than quantitative methods like surveys or combinations of methods in Europe...
Stiffened steel panels of offshore ocean structures may experience violent wave impacts which needs to be accounted for in design. The slamming pressures are often measured in scaled wave tank tests and imposed on finite element models to obtain local structural responses. These responses are...
The European Green Deal is a political milestone aiming to promote a carbon-neutral economy in the European Union. Decarbonizing the complex food sector requires the unified interaction among effective climate policies, economic instruments, and initiatives involving multiple stakeholders. Despite...
A large fraction of costs in wild fisheries are fuel related, and while much of the costs are related to gear used and stock targeted, search for fishing grounds also contributes to fuel costs. Lack of knowledge on the spatial abundance of stocks during the fishing season is a limiting factor for...
This study presents a new dataset for fake news analysis and detection, namely, the PolitiFact-Oslo Corpus. The corpus contains samples of both fake and real news in English, collected from the fact-checking website PolitiFact.com. It grew out of a need for a more controlled and effective dataset...
