Background Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has become an important treatment method in recurrent Clostridioides difficile infections and is under investigation as a treatment for several other diseases. FMT’s mechanism of action is assumed to be through alterations of the colon microbiota...

The choice of the minimum ventilation rate (Vmin) in a demand-controlled ventilation strategy can influence energy demand but also introduce outdoor air pollutants. The latter may have direct health effects, as well as affect indoor chemical reactions. In this paper, we evaluate the effect of...

When the road administrations have used all technically feasible and economically possible measures to reduce the noise, there can still be a need for further reduction of the annoyance. Analyses reveal that only about 1/3 of the variance in the annoyance response is caused by the noise level itself...

Simultaneous gravimetric filter sampling of particulate matter in flue gas from chimney and diluted flue gas from dilution tunnel, on hot filter (≥ 70 ˚C) and on ambient filter (≤ 35 ˚C) respectively, to determine to which extent variables inherent to EN 13240 DIN+ and NS3058-59 affect the amount of...

Electrification of car and passenger ferries is an important step towards maritime decarbonization. Charging profiles are generated using a probabilistic method for electric vehicles (EVs) and a deterministic method for electric ferries. A test scenario from western Norway is taken for analysis with...

This paper addresses ampacity rating calculations using Finite Elements Analysis (FEA) compared to data from a Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) measurement system on an onshore wind farm export cable in operation. Steady-state and time-dependent rating calculations have been performed for...

The last few years, the demand for electricity has increased rapidly, and many distribution system operators (DSOs) have experienced a significant increase in connection requests. For the power grid to handle the increase in demand for electricity, the DSOs are facing a near future in which they may...

This paper presents results from a Norwegian pilot where flexible loads have been identified and activated at both residential and industrial customers. The customers are located in the grid area of Lede - a Norwegian Distribution System Operator (DSO). The main purpose of the pilot project is to...

The quest for power electronic converters to operate in a subsea pressurized environment that is completely filled with appropriate dielectric liquid brings about the need to study the insulation performance of liquid in the system while in operation. One of the critical regions for electrical...
