Here you find instance definitions and the best known upper and lower bounds (to our knowledge) for the 23 instances of the mggdb (ß=0.35) benchmark derived from the CARP by Bosco et al. [BLMV]. The values for the upper and lower bounds reported in the table only include traversal costs, i.e. service...
...conversion to SI units, and construction of MRST objects for grids, fluids, rock properties, and wells. Functionality from this module is thus essential for the fully implicit simulators developed in the ad-blackoil and ad-eor modules, but is also used in a large number of MRST's examples and tutorials. Description...

...cancer once and for all. Hanne Haslene-Hox and her colleagues at SINTEF and the Norwegian Radium Hospital are hunting for the very best warrior cells – ones that can target and destroy cancer cells.

...method is the current state-of-the-art within multiscale methods, originally developed by SINTEF and later implemented in the commercial INTERSECT MS SFI simulator. MsRSB is very robust and versatile and can either be used as an approximate coarse-scale solver having mass-conservative subscale resolution...

This surprising discovery has been made as part of a project studying the brains of young male high and low risk-takers. The tests were carried out at the University of Turku...
...laboratory have given us new knowledge of how natural gas behaves on its way up from the gas field. The project, where scientists Maria Barrio (left) and Marita Wolden had central roles, was carried out in the tower in the background.

...researchers are now cultivating an alternative to the popular Wakame seaweed salad that doesn’t have to travel thousands of miles. The combination of waves and cold sea water make the coast of northern Norway an ideal place to cultivate the brown algae badderlocks. This nutritious macroalgae is an excellent...
...bacteria thrive on the walls and ceilings of dairies, and can also be found in raw milk and cheese-making equipment. These bacteria are among the causes of minor differences in the taste of a given type of cheese, depending on which dairy it was made in. However, TINE, the sales and marketing organization...
...important methods is the echocardiograph,” says Bjørnar Grenne, who is a senior consultant in the cardiac department at St. Olav’s Hospital in Trondheim, and an Associate Professor at NTNU. Each year, a large number of patients are admitted to St. Olav’s for cardiac check-ups. This means everyone from people...
SINTEF/NTNU This new means of delivering drugs has already been successfully tested on mice and rats and, according to researchers at SINTEF, could open the way for entirely new treatments of brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. SINTEF researchers have developed a new nanocapsule that exploits the...
...future-oriented solutions to reduce energy consumption. This year’s award went to the Rema Kroppanmarka supermarket, represented by Rema Property and SINTEF Energy Research. The Kroppanmarka supermarket has just been awarded Trondheim’s Energy Conservation Prize. The whole energy chain in the store...
... Smart use of daylight and waste heat “I am quite certain we can put it like that. There is not another free-standing supermarket in Norway whose energy consumption is as low as this,” says Hafner, indicating the interior of the brightly-lit premises, stacked full of food and other necessities. According...

Information about pipeline integrity is today primarily obtained from two sources: A limited number of sensors (infield pipelines) ROV’s and intelligent pigging These methods have limitations. Most of the sensors used are intrusive. Intrusive sensors have the advantage that very accurate measurements...
Together with Norwegian and overseas industrial interests, the Research Council of Norway and Gassnova are investing millions of kroner in a new research programme on gas power with CO2 treatment. These efforts make it more likely that Norway will build power stations of this sort in the future, according...
