...alumina feeding in the Hall-Héroult-process and will delay alumina from being dissolved into the melt. The mechanisms for the formation and disintegration of rafts are however not thoroughly understood yet. The current study investigates the dissolution behavior and raft structure from three different types...
...the participation and inclusion of children and youth with disabilities in their communities. Four selected municipalities in four different regions of Norway participated. Focus group discussions (FGDs) were carried out in all four municipalities with service providers, children and youth with disabilities...
...patients suffering from brain tumor, prognosis estimation and treatment decisions are made by a multidisciplinary team based on a set of preoperative MR scans. Currently, the lack of standardized and automatic methods for tumor detection and generation of clinical reports, incorporating a wide range...
...characterized by a high acidity (pH 1) and is structurally highly degraded. The observed deterioration is also active. The ‘alum treatment’ was a method of choice for the conservation of highly deteriorated waterlogged archaeological wood found from 1850 – 1950 and has since been replaced by treatment...
This paper presents and discusses a set of biaxial tests on two different polymer materials; PVC and HDPE. The biaxial tests are used to evaluate a hyperelastic–viscoplastic constitutive model involving the pressure-dependent Raghava yield criterion. The parameters in the model are calibrated from uniaxial...
...access health and welfare services. Service-providers within a range of sectors and services seemed to be reluctant to get involved in situations that imply diagnoses that are unknown to them. Further, they seemed to be reluctant to accept information offered to them by the user and they hesitated...
... Samples oxidized in air, 100 % CO2 and 50% CO2–50% air, showed no difference in total oxidation. The flash anodized samples oxidized in 10% CO2–90% air had approximately half of the mass gain of the rolled samples. Oxidation of anodized samples in pure oxygen and nitrogen showed a drastic decrease in...
... obstacle-aided locomotion (OAL). In order to realistically model and understand this issue we present a mathematical model for wheel-less snake robot OAL on inclined planes. The model is based on the framework of convex analysis and non-smooth dynamics, which facilitates true stick-slip descriptions...
...binding sites. We used time-dependent DFT to study the UV spectroscopy of benzene, ice clusters, and benzene–ice complexes, by employing the M06-2X functional. It is observed that the size of the ice cluster and the dangling features have minor effects on the UV spectral characteristics. Benzene-mediated...
This work has been a combined experimental and numerical modeling effort aimed to help in the understanding of heat transfer processes when melting aluminium. In addition a newly developed type of oxy-fuel burner was investigated. Objectives set for this project include improving energy efficiency in...
The wetting between liquid aluminium and substrates made from industrial Al2O3 and SiC based ceramic foam filters (CFF) has been measured. The wetting experiments show that the SiC based filter material is better wetted by liquid aluminium than the Al2O3 based filter material. The same CFF filters were...
