Since the 1960s SINTEF has, in collaboration with the Nordic aluminium smelters, developed methods for sampling and analysis of fluoride. Unlike conventional potentiometric analysis, this methodology involves detection of fluoride in acidic media. At low pH, the electrode kinetics is improved...

A potential CO₂ seepage from sub-seabed storage may cause cascade effects in marine ecosystems if it influences a process that has a key-function in the complex ecosystem. Therefore not only the primary effects (CO₂ increase and pH decreases) but also secondary effects (change in the mobility, and...

Information systems are ever more connected to the Internet, which gives wide opportunities for interacting with other actors, systems and resources and for exploiting the open and vast marked. This pushes the limits for security mechanisms which in general are too rigorous to fully adapt to such a...

There have been few experience reports from industry on how Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) is applied and what the benefits are. This paper summarizes the experiences of three large industrial participants in a European research project with the objective of developing techniques and tools for...

Wireless instrumentation, defined as the merger of wireless sensor network (WSN) technologies with industrial field instrumentation, has become increasingly popular in the process industries since the recent ratifications of the WirelessHART and ISA100.11a specifications. By providing reliable self...

Claddings or facades are the outer part of building envelopes. In this study, wooden claddings are exposed to natural and accelerated weathering. The natural climate exposure was performed at a field test site located in Trondheim, Norway. Accelerated climate exposure was performed in the laboratory...
