...operations in shale formations is a well-known and costly problem within the petroleum industry. Recently it has become evident that shales may also form sealing barriers around the casing, reducing the need for cement jobs on new wells, and reducing costs for plugging and abandonment of old wells. The forming...

Demand for cobalt, lithium and nickel is expected to see the largest growth, due to their use for batteries in the rapidly growing electric vehicle market. In this report we address the extraction of these three minerals, their extraction processes along with their social and environmental consequences...

This paper presents the results of an explorative analysis aiming to identify indicators and factors associated with navigation accidents (groundings and collisions). The analysis compares cargo vessels with at least one registered navigation accident (grounding or collision) within Norwegian waters...

...masses of the solute and solvent. In the current paper, published solubility data for binary normal-alkane mixtures is reviewed (solid-liquid equilibrium). A total of 43 unique solute-solvent data-sets, obtained from a total of 24 published experimental studies, are collected and presented in a systematic...

SINTEF Materials and Chemistry and the Functional Ceramics and Nanomaterials Group offer research related to synthesis and applications of inorganic materials and hybrid organic-inorganic systems. Functional oxides and nanostructured materials play a key role in modern society, while usually small in...

...future power systems in Morocco and Egypt, with a high increase in renewable generation capacity. Datasets representing 2030 scenarios have been generated and studied with a simplified grid-market model that takes into account variable renewable generation, energy storage and electricity grid constraints...

...computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and experimental measurements. Experimental residence time distribution (RTD) measurement and CFD simulation are the best methods to study the hydrodynamics of inflow systems. Three-dimensional numerical simulations of the flow and transport characteristics of the system...

...of temperature and salinity tolerance and capability of producing resting eggs in the life cycle. Hence, A. tonsa is one of the most promising copepod species for marine larviculture purposes. The present study conducted to evaluate the impacts of colloidal particles (30 nm - 1µm) and fine solids (2...

The Nordmøre grid and the sieve panel are two of the main devices used to reduce fish bycatch in trawl fisheries targeting shrimp species. However, even when using such devices, some small-sized fish enter the codend of the trawl together with the targeted shrimp. Therefore, bycatch reduction remains...

Marine plastic pollution and continuous capture of marine animals, so-called “ghost fishing”, by abandoned, lost, or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) are global concerns. This study investigated whether biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA) monofilaments can be used to replace conventionally used...

...observed in air cavities in well-designed and well-built wooden façades and roofs. More knowledge is required on the microclimatic conditions in air cavities and roofs, and their implications for organic growth and biological deterioration. The present study collects and presents sensor data from three buildings...

... CH₄, CO, and CO₂ were thermally treated between 1200 and 1500 °C. The gas mixture, comprised of H₂ (33 vol %), CH₄ (12 vol %), CO (28 vol %), CO₂ (25 vol %), and He (2 vol %), was diluted with argon and the effect of reaction temperature (1200–1500 °C), water addition (0–44.3 mol %), and residence time...
