Accidents on petroleum installations can have huge consequences; to mitigate the risk, a number of safety barriers are devised. Faults and unexpected events may cause barriers to temporarily deviate from their nominal state. For safety reasons, a work permit process is in place: decision makers...

Sorting grids and square mesh panels are the two most-applied technical devices to supplement codend size- and species-selection in demer- sal trawls. In the Barents Sea gadoid fishery, the compulsory size-selectivity system comprises a mesh section with a sorting grid followed by a diamond mesh...

Large-scale storage of CO₂ in saline aquifers is considered an essential technology to mitigate CO₂ emissions. Storage potential has mainly been estimated based on volumetrics or detailed simulations for specific injection scenarios. In practice, achievable storage capacity will depend on...

Lignocellulose materials, essentially consisting of lignin, cellulose and hemicelluloses, are abundant sources of fermentable sugars. The bast fiber of Crotalaria juncea (Sunn hemp), a native cover crop of India, was used as feedstock for this study. The primary objective of this study was to add...

Organoids are laboratory-grown 3D organ models, mimicking human organs for e.g. drug development and personalized therapy. Islet organoids (typically 100–200 µm), which can be grown from the patient́s own cells, are emerging as prototypes for transplantation-based therapy of diabetes. Selective...

Rapporten gir innsikt i muligheter og utfordringer ved innføring og bruk av 1:1 læringsbrett til alle elever og lærere i en kommune. Forskningsprosjektet hadde tre overordnede mål basert på kommunens behov: - Evaluere bruk av digitale læringsteknologier i Malvik-skolene. - Anbefale hvilke digitale...

Phase change materials (PCMs) are regarded as a possible solution for reducing the energy consumption of buildings. By storing and releasing heat within a certain temperature range, it raises the building inertia and stabilizes indoor climate. Within this work, a state-of-the-art review is given on...

Background, Aim and Scope: Food production systems invariably precipitate negative environmental impacts. Life cycle assessment (LCA), a standardised tool for evaluating the environmental costs of manufactured goods, is currently being expanded to address diverse product groups and production...
