Developing systems by integrating Open Source Software (OSS) is increasingly gaining importance in the software industry. Although the literature claims that this approach highly impacts Requirements Engineering (RE) practices, there is a lack of empirical evidence to demonstrate this statement. To...

Winter infiltration in cold climate raingardens is a key function for proper year-round function. The Modified Phillip-Dunne Infiltrometers (MPD) procedure was used for measuring the infiltration capacity. The research was based on a case study approach, combining field measurements and simulations...

Macrosegregation is a result of the interplay of various transport mechanisms, including natural convection, solidification shrinkage, and grain motion. Experimental observations also indicate the impact of grain morphology, ranging from dendritic to globular, on macrosegregation formation. To avoid...

Few field studies have evaluated ventilation strategies, such as temporarily increasing the ventilation rate, to counter the high pollutant-load from off-gassing of volatile compounds from new materials in these buildings. We reviewed longitudinal studies that measured both ventilation rate (i.e...

The telecommunication industry has been undergoing tremendous changes in recent times. It is obvious that the industry is currently going through an identity crisis. Porter’s Five Forces analysis is used in this paper to investigate the current state of the telecommunication industry in Norway today...

Pore pressure reduction, caused by reservoir fluid production, will alter the stresses in the vicinity of a producer. These stress alterations affect the propagation of hydraulic fractures that originate e.g. during water or polymer injection into injector wells as part of enhanced oil recovery (EOR...

Purpose The paper aims to compare and evaluate two Norwegian municipal networks for climate change adaptation, to see how such networks should be initiated and implemented as a means of achieving adaptation measures within municipalities. Design/methodology/approach The findings are based on...
