To illuminate the role of crystal growth process on final oxygen precipitates during heat treatment of Cz-Si wafer, a coupled model, including the interaction of oxygen precipitates, point defects, and dislocation loops, has been used to test the influence of grown-in defects generated during...

We used an advanced 3D model to study the effect of crystal orientation on the dislocation multiplication in single-crystal silicon under accurate control of the cooling history of temperature. The incorporation of the anisotropy effect of the crystal lattice into the model has been explained in...

Thresholds for beam damage have been assessed for La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 and SrTiO3 as a function of electron probe current and exposure time at 80 and 200 kV acceleration voltage. The materials were exposed to an intense electron probe by aberration corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM...

Flomskred er en økende trussel mot bygninger og infrastruktur når klimaet blir varmere og våtere. Laboratorieforsøk gir oss kunnskap som er nødvendig for å prosjektere skredsikringer på best mulig måte....

This paper addresses possible effects of the growing focus on global warming on households’ domestication of energy and the dynamics of energy consumption by comparing data pertaining to the domestication of energy within Norwegian households from two time periods: first, 1991–1995, when climate...

Background Good governance may result in strengthened performance of a health system. Coherent policies are essential for good health system governance. The overall aim of this research is to provide the best available scientific evidence on principles of good policy related leadership and...

This paper studies the effect of temporary speed restrictions (TSR) in railways. We present a method for analyzing the effect of TSR. TSR, or slow orders, are imposed on the railway to ensure safe use of the infrastructure. We have documented that TSRs give variations in the running times for trains...

The pioneering work of Mike Batzle and his colleagues has provided a fundamental understanding of mechanisms behind dispersion and attenuation of elastic waves in fluid-saturated rocks. It also has made way for a realization that these phenomena need to be accounted for in a better way when...

The objective of this review is to analyze the advances in risk analysis during the past 30 years and to offer an overview on its recent progress and applications for chemical and process industries. Although the general approach of quantitative risk assessment (QRA) remains unchanged since its...

The cost of reputational damage to a company after a major accident can be estimated through a net worth approach or an event study methodology. Both approaches measure the loss in market value of the company after such event. This chapter provides a step-by-step tutorial for the application of the...

This analysis of new and previously collected data was done to validate the efficacy of recommendations for limits regarding sound exposure levels at live pop concerts. After the World Health Organization, WHO, recommended limiting the sound levels at such concerts to avoid noise induced hearing...
