Background: Losing a loved one to suicide is an extremely stressful event that is associated with mental health issues. However, little is known about the health care utilization of those bereaved by suicide. Identifying distinct trajectories of mental health care utilization can help reveal gaps in...

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is central to decarbonisation of the waste-to-energy industry. We complement existing lifecycle assessments and techno-economic analyses of CCS in waste-to-energy with a socio-technical perspective that emphasises interrelations between technologies, practices...

Klimaendringer og mer regn gir oss store utfordringer. Det er derfor viktig at alle bidrar med det de kan. Kommunen deltar nå i to prosjekter, som vil hjelpe oss med å håndtere overvann enda bedre....

Salmon farming is a key industry in Norway, with a yearly production of more than 1,2 million tons. However, sustainability concerns are currently hampering further expansion of the industry. A long-term negative environmental effect is the genetic introgression from escaped farmed salmon into wild...

Experimental testing of large marine structures in hydrodynamic laboratories requires an accurate reproduction of waves over a large area of the basin. However, with a uniform motion of the wavemaker, wave interactions with the basin’s boundaries can result in an inhomogeneous wave field, even...

Waves in coastal areas and fjords can present inhomogeneities that affect the responses of very large floating structures. However, spatial inhomogeneities of waves are usually not included in model testing. In this paper, the feasibility of generating inhomogeneous wave conditions in an Ocean basin...

In coastal areas, and especially fjords, the wave field can present inhomogeneities that affect the responses of floating bridges among other very large floating structures. Recent studies have begun to include the effects of such inhomogeneities in the design phase. To that end, it is necessary to...

The energy transition requires fundamental changes in society and all parts of the energy system. Understanding these changes can be possible by consistent analyses with various specialized modelling tools. This paper concerns the bidirectional linking of energy and power system models for analyses...

The national energy and climate plans were introduced as a means to explain how each EU country will reach its energy-related goals, among others, to achieve the EU targets for 2030 and climate neutrality by 2050. Because the plans state each country's individualistic plan, they propose an...

Introduction and objective Martensitic phase transformations in Cu-Zn-Al alloys give rise to functional behaviors such as superelasticity, the shape memory effect, and elastocaloric responses, making them attractive for various applications, including solid-state cooling. While the bulk behavior of...
