Digitalization and increased use of remote operations is a growing industrial trend. Work that previously had to be done physically on a facility, can now be conducted from remote locations. However, remote operations may lead to new vulnerabilities and risk. This paper presents results from a study...

A combined grain boundary segregation and precipitation model is presented. The model predicts the formation of precipitate free zone (PFZ) at the grain boundaries in aluminium alloys, accounting for the quench rate after solution heat treatment and the following heat treatment during which hardening...

...the surfaces intersected are well separated along all intersection curves. For transversal intersections the divide and conquer strategy of recursive subdivision, Sinha's theorem [2] and the convex hull property of NonUniform Rational B-Spline surfaces (NURBS) efficiently identify all intersection branches...

...transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron spectroscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and white light interferometry (WLI). The degree of surface substitution (DSS) was determined using Si concentrations from XPS survey scans, as well as deconvoluted...

Synopsis: The paper is a review of principle and performance of latex modified mortars.When latex (i.e. a polymer dispersion in water) is added to a cement based mortar, the polymer particles will partly adhere to the cement grains and improve the rheology, and after setting when liquid water is reduced...

...coastal sea transportation industry in Norway. Historical developments in the Norwegian maritime industry are compared and discussed in relation to changes in long-haul road transportation and aviation. To set the stage for a discussion of potential safety implications, we consider regulatory challenges associated...
