Artificial intelligence (AI) is significantly changing the way companies work, operate, and compete (Füller et al., 2022). Despite the potential of AI, many organizations face challenges in successfully implementing and integrating AI into their business processes. Recent research shows that...
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and lethal form of primary brain tumor, characterized by poor prognosis and limited treatment options, with a median survival of only 12 to 15 months post-diagnosis. Despite standard therapeutic protocols involving temozolomide (TMZ) and radiotherapy, effective...
Electric trucks play a crucial role for achieving a zero-emission future. As battery electric technology advances, electric trucks are expected to become a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to diesel trucks. Despite their potential, the adoption rate for long-haul electric trucks remains...
The integration of conventional STATCOMs with a battery energy storage system (BESS-STATCOM) has been gaining popularity recently. A BESS-STATCOM is interfaced to the grid via a power conversion system (PCS). This PCS is often a single-stage dc-ac converter directly connected to the BESS without an...
Transient plastic phase biochars (TPPB) produced from different woody feedstocks (birch, spruce, and eucalyptus) were investigated to understand underlying factors responsible for differences in mechanical performance of biocarbon produced from these materials. All TPPB materials were produced under...
Medium and high-voltage cable accessories, such as terminations and connectors, operate under harsh mechanical and thermal stresses, influencing long-term reliability. These stresses may lead to deterioration in the mechanical properties of the materials, thereby reducing radial pressure. Hence, the...
The earth-abundant II-IV-nitrides ZnSnN2 and ZnGeN2 are direct bandgap semiconductors with a wurtzite-derived crystal structure. Their alloys, ZnSnxGe1 − xN2, have bandgaps tunable across the full visible spectrum, making them interesting for many optoelectronic applications. Here, electrical...
Abstract Aims The low reproducibility of echocardiographic measurements challenges the identification of subtle changes in left ventricular (LV) function. Deep learning (DL) methods enable real-time analysis of acquisitions and may improve echocardiography. The aim of this study was to evaluate the...
The transition from a linear to a circular bioeconomy is essential for achieving both regional and international sustainability goals. While the bioeconomy has received increasing attention in policy and research, the aquatic portion—in particular fisheries and aquaculture—remains comparatively...
As climate change intensifies, marine organisms face multiple environmental stressors that challenge their survival and adaptability. Oxidative stress occurs when environmental conditions deviate far from an organism’s optimal range, and responses vary due to diverse molecular and physiological...
Introduction Respiratory infections like influenza and SARS-CoV-2 pose significant global health risks due to their high transmissibility and severity. SARS-CoV-2 has caused over 7 million deaths worldwide, and the Lancet Commission estimates a >20% chance of a similar respiratory virus pandemic...
Denne rapporten presenterer funn fra et for-prosjekt som er gjennomført i samarbeid mellom Hardanger Hydrogen Hub og SINTEF Energi med støtte fra Forregion Vestland. Prosjektet har sett på muligheter for oppgradering og utvidelse av vannkraft i området rundt Odda og analysert lønnsomheten av...
Microplastic pollution has emerged as a critical environmental crisis, impacting human health, ecosystems, and economies globally. This chapter explores the pervasive nature of microplastics, their sources, and the extensive regulatory efforts to mitigate their impact. The authors provide a...
Digitalisation offers many benefits to Air Traffic Management (ATM), such as increased safety and airspace capacity, fewer delays and reduced fuel consumption. Yet, with technological innovations come challenges in managing new cyber security threats and risks. This paper presents an approach for...
Context Large fintech organizations are increasingly adopting agile methodologies to enhance product development capabilities. However, implementing agile at scale presents unique challenges, particularly related to collaboration essential for successful software product management (SPM). Social...
The global shipping sector has slowly begun to decarbonize yet has a long way to go. This chapter takes stock of the status of alternative fuels for ships and considers their future prospects. A key point of departure is that understanding the conditions for a transition to alternative fuels in...
