An experimental rig has been built to explore the relative contribution of oil droplets and water soluble fraction of oil to acute toxicity. The exposure principle was based on generating dispersion and establishing a dilution series by repeated dilution of this dispersion. For each dilution step the...
...efficient and user-friendly manner. We observe that these scenarios consist of sub-tasks that can be solved with collaborative service units. Therefore, a composition of such service units will serve the needs of the end-user for the complete scenario. We envisage that a visual formalism and tools can...
...as soon as possible, and in any case, no later than September 15 2019. Chapter format Each chapter must be written in textbook form and should function as a user guide and tutorial for a specific module. To this end, the chapter must motivate the module, why it is interesting, and what types of problems...
...pacemaker could be connected to the internet”, says Marie Moe. “It was then I realised that it’s possible for some computer nerd to hack the system and effectively control my heart. It was a very unpleasant experience”, she says. She recently attended the 2017 Lerchendal Conference in Trondheim, Norway...
...noise map is no substitute for actually hearing the sound you’re going to be exposed to. Some young researchers at SINTEF have understood this problem, and are developing a simulation tool that can generate the noise similar to what might be expected from a planned construction project, even before any changes...

Kostanden på dette spesialtegnede anlegget, levert fra Australia, er ca. 700 000 kroner. Det står i en container og kan flyttes og settes hvor som helst fordi...
SINTEF Standard Do you like skiing – and especially going fast? Then you know how important it is to optimize your power as a cross-country skier. Maybe you compete and have also wondered how you can gain valuable seconds. Of course, a lot depends on technique and physical conditioning, but research also...

CO2 capture and storage at Mongstad near Bergen in Western Norway, Scandinavian scientists have classified potential Nordic CCS projects in order of cost. It turns out that the most reasonably priced measures are similar to those that Statoil has already implemented on the Sleipner and Snøhvit offshore...
