Chemical dispersion is an oil spill response strategy where dispersants are sprayed onto the oil slick to enhance oil dispersion into the water. However, accidental application could expose seabirds to dispersants, thereby negatively affecting their plumage. To understand the possible impacts on...
Lean hydrogen/air premixed flame flashback in a turbulent boundary layer over a flat plate is investigated using three-dimensional direct numerical simulation with detailed chemical kinetics. The upstream propagation of the flame takes place in near-wall turbulence and the interaction between the...
The intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy set (IHFS) is an enriched version of hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs) that can cover both fuzzy sets (FSs) and intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs). By assigning membership and non-membership grades as subsets of [0, 1], the IHFS can model and handle situations more...
Integrated local multi-energy systems are recognized as a promising option to achieve the ambitious energy and climate goals set by the European Commission for 2030. The nature of integrated systems requires a sound combination of inter-disciplinary methodologies and complementary tools. Creating an...
This paper contains results from a study where numerical weather product (NWP) data provided by MET Norway were used to estimate the differential zenith tropospheric delay (dZTD) for an area including Scandinavia, Finland and the Baltic countries. The NWP data have a high spatial resolution of...
Although numerous methods for handling the technical aspects of developing domain-specific modeling languages (DSMLs) have been formalized, user needs and usability aspects are often addressed late in the development process and in an ad hoc manner. To this concern, this paper presents the...
This open access book provides insights into the novel Locally Refined B-spline (LR B-spline) surface format, which is suited for representing terrain and seabed data in a compact way. It provides an alternative to the well know raster and triangulated surface representations. An LR B-spline surface...
This paper presents an empirical study on the need for sector-specific CERT capacity in the Norwegian construction sector. Findings from the interviews demonstrate a need for developing competence in ICT security in this sector. The actors express a desire for a forum for sharing information and...
The food chain represents a climate impact of major concern as it is a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Norway has a long coastline with perfect conditions for salmon farming and well-established fisheries, in addition to a large area suitable for grazing, making seafood and...
Conspectus Adsorption using solid sorbentsis emerging as a serious contenderto amine-based liquid absorption for postcombustion CO2 capture. In the last 20+ years, significant efforts have been investedin developing adsorption processes for CO2 capture. Inparticular, significant efforts have been...
This study presents a Re-Con Zero dry washing technology used to produce recycled aggregates from concrete sludge (RCZ) and combined as a feedstock in wet recycling excavation materials (EM) for unbound applications. A two-component admixture i.e, high water absorbing polymer and aluminum sulphate...
The accumulation of nanoplastics (NPs) in the environment has raised concerns about their impact on human health and the biosphere. The main aim of this study is to understand the mechanism that governs the capture of NPs by jellyfish mucus extracted from the jellyfish Aurelia sp. (A.a.) and compare...
