Better monitoring of BP and its variations is vital to identify and help individuals at risk. However, state-of-the-art 24h measurements are unsatisfactory as they are limited to intermittent measurements (3-4 per hour). The inflatable cuff around the upper arm may cause stress and pain, which thereby introduces...
...make battery testing faster, cheaper and more accurate. We will develop novel digital approaches to extract more value from fewer tests. This will save valuable time and resources in a highly competitive industry. DigiBatt targets a 30 per cent reduction in the time and 20 per cent reduction in the cost...
...the most recent advances in optimization and machine learning to railway traffic management. We developed the methodological groundwork for an Optimization-based Traffic Management System that integrates state-of-the-art mathematical optimization algorithms and advanced forecasting techniques to tackle...
The main purpose of the evaluation is to assess how the implementation is organized by the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration (NAV), how the strategy is marketed to external actors, and how the different measures included in the strategy work in practice. Twelve years after the first Agreement...
...recruited to municipal mental health in recent years through grants and a model testing. Municipal psychologists constitute an important low threshold service, mainly directed at children and young people. Despite the model testing goals and psychologists own desire to strengthen public health-oriented activities...
...biogas through demonstration of a protonic membrane reformer (bioPMR) that integrates steam methane reforming and water-gas shift reactions, hydrogen separation, heat management, CO2 capture and hydrogen compression in a single stage. The realization of 6 process steps in a single reactor allows to achieve...
An interdisciplinary Centre for ... (SFI). Focus: During the next decades, the Norwegian metal industry will need to achieve even higher-quality output with more efficient use of materials and energy. - ...
...tailoring both light quality and quantity to a species level. The production of astaxanthin is greatest when the algae are experiencing stress caused by either light or nutrient shortage; however, stress is unfavorable when it comes to cell growth. Hence, maximizing both cell growth and astaxanthin content is...
...better decisions on investments in - and research needs for - the production of salmon in closed systems. At the same time it is expected that the knowledge summary will contribute to a fact-based debate about this type of system. Targets Identify challenges and opportunities through the use of closed...
Within the food and feed industry there is an increasing awareness that optimised production process control is necessary to maintain a competitive edge. However, a premise for control is process feedback - in this case measured food quality parameters. Prediktor, a company specialised in optimising...
Hydropower is the backbone of Norway's power system. It is renewable and well-established, accounting for the majority of Norwegian power production.

The objective of the SCINDEEP project is to ensure effective risk assessment and risk handling of dermal exposure to ultrafine particles (UFPs) in industries were fugitive emissions of particles is a known risk. The SCINDEEP project is a spin-off from the DeMaskUs project where industrial exposure to...
...cost-efficient and miniaturised PGMs recovery and raw material production process. The Platinum Group Metals comprise 6 chemically very similar elements: ruthenium (Ru), rhodium (Rh), palladium (Pd), iridium (Ir), osmium (Os) and platinum (Pt). PGMs are among the least abundant of the Earth's elements and are classified...
...develop new knowledge about what limits the lifespan of cables with new eco-friendly insulation and relevant test methods to ensure high reliability during operations. The large-scale electrification of society and the increasing use of renewable energy place higher demands on the cable network. To achieve...
...research infrastructure located in Austria for the evaluation of performances and feasibility of Advanced Adiabatic Compressed Air Energy Storage (AA-CAES). In the project, we will concentrate on the technical, legal, institutional and financial requirements for this type of facilities. One of the main challenges...
Sorting garbage for recycling saves resources, reduces environmental pollution and slows the build-up of landfills. Infrared light is the key to a sorting machine for drink cartons and plastic bottles developed by SINTEF. In Norway most waste sorting takes place in the home, but several European countries...
Sports scheduling addresses the problem of assigning a date and venue to each game of a tournament, while taking the wishes and requirements of all stakeholders into account. Scheduling a sports league or a tournament is a combinatorial optimization problem that has attracted the interest of the research...
...central elements in the physical infrastructure of any flexible energy system because they enable effective switching and seamless control of the power flow between the different suppliers and consumers in the electric power grid. However, the rapid switching of power electronic converters cause voltage surges...
...toughness Will all banks, hospitals and power companies come across quickly if they are affected by extreme events? The EU asks. Methods are now being developed that provide answers. Read the cronicle published in the newspaper "Dagens Næringsliv" on October 27, 2017 and Gemini.no on October 29, 2017. The...
...synthetic rubber as they wear down. Before ending up in the ocean the rubber contributes to the melting of glaciers and soil pollution. Some microplastics get ingested and incorporated in the bodies and tissues of living organisms. In the project, SINTEF, in collaboration with Roadguard, is developing a measurement...
