A literature review was conducted to obtain more reliable primary (biotransformation) and ultimate (biomineralization) biodegradation rates for compounds in produced water for the DREAM model, than the current biodegradation data. During the literature review, it became apparent that many compounds lacked...

The rheological and material parameters determining the pumpability of fresh self-compacting mortar have been studied in full-scale (70 m Ø 50 mm rubber hose and screw pump with max capacity 7 m3/h). Concrete pressure gradient over the hose length (dp/dx) and flow rate were measured to quantify pumpability...

...concrete structures. Both diffusivity and permeability of reinforced concrete related to gas and liquid penetration are covered, without focus on any specific gas or liquid. This report gives an overview of factors that may affect the tightness, especially related to cracks and low temperatures. The report also...

...early user test of vacuum insulation embedded in clay blocks, a solution developed within ZEB. The product is in an early stage of its development and is not taken into use in any building projects yet. Therefore, the evaluation is not based on experiences but on expectations towards this product....

PhDs, Postdocs, and researchers are collaborating across work package boundaries, and the num¬ber of activities associated with the pilot areas is increasing. Public and industry partners are seeing more opportunities to connect their ongoing activities to the ZEN Centre. Communication and innovation strategies...

This report is a compilation of the characterisation methods and results performed at different institutes and companies to analyse four different fillers employed in a subproject Case study Velde in COIN FA2.3 High Quality manufactured sand for Concrete. Here, the application of different methods for...

Literature review and test results from particulate matter measurements based on Norwegian Standard NS 3058-59 coupled with EC and OC analyses on an artificially aged woodstove....

...into English prose. The CORAL semantics is developed to help software testers to clearly and consistently document, communicate and analyze risks in a risk-driven testing process. We first provide an abstract syntax and a translation algorithm. Then, we evaluate the approach based on some examples. We argue...

Common Data Dictionary (CDD) is a data repository for product information related to IEC and ISO standards. The IEC CDD provides representation of data enabling machine-to-machine data exchange across systems and applications. Per today, IEC CDD does not integrate IEC 61511, the primary standard for...

This paper presents three possible optimizations of Alloy models, including how and when to implement these optimizations. Alloy is a formal light-weight language for performing incremental and automatic analysis. Analysis is performed within a user-defined scope, which limits the number of model elements...

The aim of the eTrace project within SAFEFOOOERA is to specify, develop and evaluate an electronic traceability system where different information sources related to food safety and suitable enterprise management systems are integrated. This report is part of work package 4 in eTrace with the focus on...

...oil as input data for environmental risk and oil spill contingency analysis for a blend from segment B and C from the Luno Il field. A pre-evaluation of data from an earlier weathering study on segment A (Luno Il A) and crude assay I PVT data for segment B and C indicated that the existing weathering...

...topof ‘Biskop Gunnerus gate 14’ in Oslo. Measurements of wind, electricityproduction and noise were taken and correlated. The results show a good match. Technicalchallenges during the whole project are described and the strengths andweaknesses of the wind turbines are discussed. The conclusions highlight...

...between the neighbourhood, housing and services for residents with a variety of different needs in the Havstein district in Trondheim. This analysis follows on from the project A Neighbourhood for Everyone? Housing Services for Younger People with Disabilities (Wågø and Høyland, 2016), where we learned...

...for WP 4 is to develop knowledge, technologies and solutions for design and operation of energy flexible neighbourhoods. 4th generation district heating is evaluated as a sustainable solution for covering the heating demand in Zero Emission Neighbourhoods and reducing the strain on the electricity grid...
