I Norge har vi satset på energi. Danmark har satset på livsvitenskap. Vilje til vekst virker....

The use of hydrogel microparticles as granular hydrogels is an emerging approach in tissue engineering, where microparticles offer printability, injectability, and serve as scaffolds for cell culture. While culturing dermal fibroblasts for tissue engineering applications is well reported, there is...

Fluoroelastomers (FKMs) are widely used in oilfield seals due to their chemical resistance and thermal stability, yet their performance under liquid carbon dioxide (LCO2) conditions remains insufficiently understood. This study investigates the performance of two FKMs, a copolymer (FKM1) and a...

The weighted MAX k-CUT problem involves partitioning a weighted undirected graph into k subsets, or colors, to maximize the sum of the weights of edges between vertices in different subsets. This problem has significant applications across multiple domains. This paper explores encoding methods for...

CO₂ transport efficiency is vital for the success of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) which is considered one of the most viable solutions to limit CO₂ release in the atmosphere, aiming to reach net-zero CO₂ emissions. To increase transport efficiency, CO₂ must be compressed and...

Architectural smells are abundant in codebases and regularly hinder the development of stable and maintainable code. Understanding and removing these elements can consume a huge amount of developers' time, who often need to prioritize implementing new features. This causes a substantial increase in...

In modern air traffic management, generating synthetic flight trajectories has emerged as a promising solution for addressing data scarcity, protecting sensitive information, and supporting large-scale analyses. In this paper, we propose a novel method for trajectory synthesis by adapting the Time...

There has been considerable focus in both research and handbooks on identifying steps in co-creation processes, distinguishing between levels of citizen participation, and establishing democratic principles for participation. We argue that co-creation projects have the character of dynamic...

Folkestyret er ikke forberedt på en hær av falske internettkrigere....

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) of electrode polarisation offers the possibility to delineate overpotentials into ohmic, charge transfer kinetic, and transport and other mass transfer contributions, commonly applied and interpreted under open circuit conditions. It is sometimes also...

Understanding appetitive fish behaviour patterns represents a critical challenge for developing intelligent aquaculture monitoring and feeding systems. We present a novel robust analytical framework that combines non-invasive monitoring techniques from 3D multibeam sonar data and environmental...

As aquaculture systems become increasingly complex, simulation tools must evolve to support intuitive, reliable, and domain-specific exploration. In our earlier work, we developed a web-based platform that combined Functional Mock-up Units (FMUs), surrogate modeling techniques, and a basic chatbot...

Car tire rubber represents an important source of microplastics, mainly through abrasion of tire dust on roads, but also in the form of crumb rubber (CR) produced from end-of-life vehicle tires that is used in artificial sport fields, playgrounds and other urban surfaces. CR is known to contain a...

The application of digital twin technology to the ocean is often referred to as “Digital Twins of the Ocean” (DTO). One notable initiative funded under Horizon Europe programs - Green Deal is the ILIAD - Digital Twin of the Ocean project. One of the objectives of ILIAD is to establish interoperable...

Crumb rubber granulate (CRG) produced from end of life tires (ELTs) is commonly applied to synthetic turf pitches (STPs), playgrounds, safety surfaces and walkways. In addition to fillers, stabilizers, cross-linking agents and secondary components (e.g., pigments, oils, resins), ELTs contain a range...

Accurate prediction of infectious disease dynamics is essential for effective prevention and control, particularly in livestock health. Mastitis, a prevalent and economically significant disease in dairy cattle, poses challenges for traditional compartmental models such as the Susceptible-Infected...

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition characterised by challenges in social interaction, communication, and restrictive or repetitive behaviours, prompting global research efforts to better understand its prevalence and underlying mechanisms. Among the key...

Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) based coatings are currently the industry standard for protecting aluminum surfaces from corrosion while improving the corrosion resistance. As hexavalent chromium compounds are known carcinogens and lead to negative impacts in the environment, there is a need to develop...

Pseudotachylytes in the metamorphosed anorthosites of the Lofoten archipelago, Norway, preserve a record of seismic rupture in dry lower crust at temperatures and pressures of 650–750 °C and 0.8 GPa. Transient gigapascal-level stresses are suggested from microstructural evidence, however such high...
