Determining the optimal insulation thickness is useful for designing zero-emission buildings (ZEB) to minimize the environmental impacts. The energy required to heat buildings in cold climates is relatively high. Substantial reductions in the total energy usage of a building can be achieved by...

Hot deformation and in-die quenching of aluminum components for the automotive industry is a cost and energy efficient technique that has been developed and thoroughly evaluated in recent years. The performance of this process is considered higher when compared to traditional cold metal forming due...

We present a novel flash-lidar method with applica- tions in rendezvous, satellite servicing, and debris removal. The method has been realized as a functional breadboard model. A first-principles simulation tool has been developed, which accurately reproduces the novel features of the flash...

Integrating the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into national legislation includes a need for their localization. The authors posit that this concept of localizing the SDGs is achieved if the goals are appended to an existing policy process with local implications, termed a...

A full-size converter-fed synchronous machine (CFSM) technology is emerging as the most flexible system for pumped storage plants for efficient operation in a wide range of water flows, which is not the case in existing power plants with fixed-speed synchronous machines. This article presents steady...

Aquaculture is an industry that has developed rapidly over the past decades. Despite several hazards in the operations, emergency preparedness is not at the same level as in the rest of the maritime industry. This paper highlights some possibilities to increase the aquaculture industry’s coastal...

The main objective of subsea mechanical dispersion (SSMD) is to reduce the oil droplet sizes from a subsea oil release, thereby influencing the fate and behaviour of the released oil in the marine environment. Subsea water jetting was identified as a promising method for SSMD and imply that a water...

Digital twins and relevant concepts are being applied in a wide variety of ways, and they are of most use when an actual real-world physical system or process (a physical twin) is changing over time and when measurement data correlated with this change can be captured. In this work, a digital twin...

Achieving 2030 targets of reduction of emissions and increase of energy generation from renewable sources require of the participation of the sectors with a greater impact on the environment, those highly contributing to the climate change. Transportation plays a key role for the economic and social...

In minimally invasive surgery, where a direct sight of the treated organ or structures is not feasible but with a laparoscope, image guided systems have been developed to provide the surgeon with real time information of the surgical area, in the form of images of the anatomy of the patient, and...

The use of hydrogen and ammonia in gas turbines, either alone or blended with natural gas, poses various technical challenges for combustion systems, including ignition. Depending on the fuel composition, the laminar flame speed and the ratio of unburned to burned gas density (dilatation ratio) of...

Bakgrunn "Alle trenger et trygt hjem" heter den nasjonale strategien for boligsosialt arbeid (Kommunal- og moderniseringsdepartementet, 2020). Her legges det vekt på boligen som en grunnstein for sosialt liv og tilhørighet i lokalsamfunn og nabolag, samt boligens betydning for deltakelse i utdanning...
