...project: Objective: The main objective of the project is to develop and apply a method for validation of numerical ship models used in engineering tools for studies of ships' manoeuvring performance in deep and restricted waters and ship handling training simulators. This will be done by comparing outcomes...

...fishing boat and is to date the only one of its kind. The Arctic Pearl is the first vessel for more than 30 years to be given the go-ahead to harvest Iceland scallop from the rich habitats found in Norwegian waters. The seabed harvesting technology installed on board is entirely new and cannot be compared...

...heat of planet Earth. It exists in huge amounts, is completely renewable and emits no CO2. “What we have done so far is no more than to scratch the surface of the Earth. The heat that many people extract from their gardens and then upgrade in heat pumps is not geothermal, but rather solar energy,” says...

...getting our deposits back on a mountain of bottles and cans. But this is only a very small step on the road to a circular economy. We will not achieve this aim before all scrapped products can be converted into materials that can be reused time and time again. But, for this to take place, recycled materials...
...ikke av i bakkant av pressekonferansene om Statoil og Shells grønne planer på Tjeldbergodden. Gjennombrudd, like fullt – Jeg har opplevd så mange ups and downs på CO2-fronten, at jeg fortsatt velger å forholde meg relativt rolig, sier Lindeberg. Han understreker at det fortsatt er en god del ting som må...
...headache, global warming. Fossil fuel combustion and other anthropogenic emissions release about six billion tonnes of carbon to the atmosphere each year.With global temperatures on the rise, and the spectre of widespread climate change on the horizon, more and more people are hoping that underground storage...
...data sets with a possibly complicated topology by one algebraic surface is not very efficient. In such cases a high degree surfaces would be necessary and as consequence additional unwanted branches of the surface might appear. It seems, that a use of piecewise techniques is more appropriate in this kind...
