Background: Myeloid cells play an essential role in cancer metastasis. The phenotypic diversity of these cells during cancer development has attracted great interest; however, their functional heterogeneity and plasticity have limited their role as prognostic markers and therapeutic targets...

Gasification of wood powder milled from commercially available wood pellets have been performed in a small-scale entrained flow gasifier. The main aim of this study is to investigate operational and feedstock requirements (mainly particle size distribution, (PSD)) for this small-sized gasifier to...

The current work concerns two of the most important primary measures to reduce emissions from small scale appliances for space heating; improvement and optimization of current technology and user behavior, where the latter is related to the effects of the ignition procedure, fuel quality and...

The purpose and novelty of this work was to evaluate both the total and the transient energy efficiency of three types of modern wood stoves based on experimental results at different loads and elaborate on the level of energy efficiency increase that can be achieved by improved stove operation...

While hydropower scheduling is a well-defined problem, there are institutional differences that need to be identified to promoteconstructive and synergistic research. We study how established toolchains of computer models are organized to assist operational hydro-power scheduling in Brazil, Norway...

There is an increasing need for flexibility in power systems worldwide, giving rise to European policy documents outlining how Distribution System Operators (DSOs) should procure and include flexibility in the planning and operation of their electricity distribution grids. This implies a remarkable...

The regeneration performance of a solid sorbent (alumina-supported 15Mn8Mo) for sulfur capture at high temperature has been studied. The regeneration of the sulfided sorbent was performed by oxidizing at different temperatures (400 – 800 °C) and O₂ concentrations (0.21 – 21 %). Temperature had a...

Integrated supermarket refrigeration systems are based on transcritical CO₂ booster systems, supplying cooling and freezing of the products in the store and air conditioning (AC) of the shop area by cooling a glycol circuit supplied to the air handling unit (AHU). The design capacity of the...

Fremtidens Industri blir partner i gründersatsingen til Den europeiske romfartsorganisasjonen ESA. Satsingen har som mål å tredoble verdien av norsk romindustri på ti år....

This paper aims to investigate the role of sustainability factors in the diffusion of solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies. A combined economic innovation-diffusion model that accounts for additional sustainability aspects is proposed. Two and three-stage least square methods were used for the...

Proton beam pulses with an energy of 20 GeV/c collide with a pure-lead based target installed in the neutron Time-Of-Flight facility (n_TOF) at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN). The interaction between the proton beam and lead produces neutrons via spallation mechanism and results...

The occurrence of barite sag in drilling fluids has relatively often been the cause for gas kicks in oilwell drilling. The subsequent absorption of gas into drilling fluid could lower the density and reduce the viscosity of the drilling fluid, thereby aggravating both pressure control and hole...

The precipitation sequence in Al–Zn–Mg alloys has been subject to many revisions over the years as more structural details of the early-stage Guinier-Preston (GP) zones and precipitates have been uncovered. To further investigate this, a 7003 aluminium alloy naturally aged for one year was subjected...

Time-lapse (4D) seismic data analysis is widely used to monitor producing hydrocarbon or CO₂ storage reservoirs and their surroundings. The influence of potentially significant undrained pore-pressure changes around depleting (or injected) reservoirs appears to be neglected in most previous studies...

Understanding the conversion behaviors of biocarbon under conditions relevant to industrial conditions is important to ensure proper and efficient utilization of the biocarbon for a dedicated metallurgical process. The present work studied the reactivity of biocarbon by using a Macro-TGA at 1100 °C...
