Microplastic (MP; 1-5000 µm) and nanoplastic (NP; <1 µm) particles observed in the natural environment are typically (i) irregular-shaped, (ii) partially degraded, (iii) a wide range of polymer types, (iv) a continuum of sizes, shapes and densities, and (v) a reservoir for complex mixtures of plastic-associated...

...ships are said to be an enabler for modal shift in Europe, they require a broader transformation of the transport and business ecosystems to be effective. That is, current logistics paradigms and rapid advancements in zero-emission road transport may inadvertently incentivise a shift away from waterborne...

Vanlig Strandsnegl (Littorina littorea) er en lite utnyttet delikatesse i Norge, men arten sankes, eksporteres og konsumeres i mange europeiske land. Denne studien har undersøkt noen av de tidligere ukjente faktorene som påvirker de tidlige livsstadiene til L. littorea, med fokus på inkubasjon av...

...new better systems for catch handling and storage on board making them able to deliver high quality raw material for further production to food. Pelagic purse seine catches are traditionally loaded by vane pumps and unloaded by vacuum pumps. The pumping systems and valves are known to cause damages to...

This paper discusses cause and effect of harmonic voltages and severe lighting equipment flicker that were observed by low voltage end consumers in connection with the operation of a pumping station connected to a 22 kV radial line of a typical MV distribution network of a Norwegian utility. The ...

Full electrification of the transport sector is a necessity to combat climate change and a pressing societal issue: climate agreements require a fuel shift of all the modes of transport, but while uptake of passenger electric vehicles is increasing, long haul trucks rely almost completely on fossil fuels...

...the global wind and wave climate is studied on the basis of two well-known reanalysis products, namely ERA5 and CFSR-W (WW3 hereafter). Several statistical features of the datasets are assessed, such as seasonal variability, quantiles of the probability distribution, monthly, annual and inter-annual variability...
