...results and technology though the development of Software Toolkits. APS-Spline library developed from 1978-1988 a software toolkit programmed in FORTRAN for the definition and interrogation of B-spline represented curves. Among the unique features were the approximation through knot removal and the recursive...
...populations A new hydropower plant will almost always result in changes to a river and its ecosystems. This will commonly lead to major impacts on fish populations. Fish will be unable to reach areas where they swam in the past, and the physical conditions where they can still live will be changed. The new dam...
The authors of this article suggest that 3D printing is perfect for reducing both manufacturing costs and greenhouse gas emissions in the shipping sector, but that things are still being carried out in the same old ways.

...haulage trucks will start rolling on European roads next year. Some of the biggest truck manufacturers in the world, such as Daimler Truck, Volvo Group and Iveco, have come together to support a research project called H2Accelerate Trucks. The project involves putting 150 emission-free trucks on the road...
...autonomous quality platform for zero defect manufacturing in industrial factories in Europe. In June, the first general assembly took place. The 13th and 14th of June, the first general assembly of the EU-project QU4LITY took place. The project group came together in Ljubljana in order to share the results...
...provide simulation tools for two water-based enhanced oil recovery techniques, namely polymer and surfactant injection. Polymer is injected with water to reduce the unfavorable mobility ratio between oil and water, by increasing the water viscosity. Permeability reduction effects also increase the sweep...
...reference vessel to which the new design was compared. Emissions to air and water were taken into account in the environmental footprint case study where two fuel and engine options (diesel engines with MDO and dual fuel engines with LNG and MDO) for the project vessel were evaluated. Life Cycle Assessment...

The ZEB Laboratory is both an office building and a showcase for zero emission construction. In 2022, it received both the National Award for Outstanding Building Quality and the ‘Concrete Hammer ‘(Betonghammeren) prize for best practice – the latter awarded by public-private construction consultants...
...collaboration between various sectors and industries. The hope is that these individual chains will pave the way for a fully realised hydrogen economy as an alternative to fossil fuels. Hydrogen Valley Mid-Norway covers the region between Tjeldbergodden in the south and Rørvik in the north. It represents...

We need energy efficiency, renewable energy and carbon capture and storage of CO2 in order to avoid a climate crisis. Photo: Thinkstock. As part of the most recent international climate accord, all nations committed themselves to a reduction in their greenhouse gas emissions. The cuts are intended to...
In addition to having good operating characteristics in the open sea, the 120-metre intervention vessel has been designed to operate in and make its way through the ice. Given the harsh environment of the Arctic, the vessel has been planned with superstructures to be built in areas where people work...
The “Neuron” sensor nodes are the size of a bowling ball and full of sensors. Photo: Heimdall Power Standard The grey sphere is about the size of a bowling ball. It’s full of sensors and will allow more electricity to run through the power lines. “What’s important is that we utilize the network we’ve...

Major breakthroughs in both machine learning and so-called deep learning have provided us with automated methods for net inspection. Photo SFI Exposed/SINTEF Blog You may already have heard about...
Highlights of MRST 2017a Wells and boundary conditions in AD solvers has been rewritten from the ground up, including support for multisegment wells with support for inflow control devices and nonlinear pressure drop models for friction. We now also support boundary conditions and source terms for problems...

Our bodies cannot distinguish between nanoparticles and viruses, but we have immune cells that specialise in consuming and removing viruses. However, the same cells also consume nanodrugs, and this may offer us new immunotherapies to help combat cancer. Stock photo: Shutterstock Standard Researchers...
