This thesis examines innovation processes where flexible electricity consumption of households is constructed as a solution to constrained grid capacity in Norway. The transition to flexible electricity systems has been under construction for the past decades, as smart electricity metering...
This study investigates salt precipitation dynamics using microfluidic experiments, simulating CO2-brine flow in porous media. The results show that salt crystallization is influenced by factors such as capillary backflow, fluid flow, and the interaction between CO2 and brine. Salt precipitation...
Understanding hydrogen adsorption on clay minerals is vital for optimizing hydrogen energy applications, including storage, natural hydrogen exploration, and also waste containment. However, safety concerns such as high diffusivity and invisible flame risks limit data on hydrogen’s interaction with...
Effective predictive modeling of CO₂ storage sites requires a comprehensive understanding of the physico-chemical processes and the challenges of scaling up operations. In high-salinity aquifers, CO₂ injection can significantly reduce injectivity due to pore clogging from salt precipitation. This...
Underground hydrogen storage (UHS) in geological formations (aquifers, salt caverns, and depleted reservoirs) is a promising large-scale solution, with capacities reaching terawatt-hours. Depleted reservoirs are especially suitable due to well-characterized geological structures, existing wells and...
I denne artikkelen presenterer vi funn fra en kvalitativ studie om hvordan personer med ulike minoritetsidentiteter i Norge erfarer minoritetsstress. Ti personer deltok i studien, og de representerte ulike minoritetsidentiteter: seksuelle minoriteter, kjønnsminoriteter, etniske minoriteter, urfolk...
Objective Preclinical trials have demonstrated promising results for increased tumor uptake and therapeutic effect of drugs combined with focused ultrasound (FUS) and microbubbles (MBs). The aim of this clinical trial was to investigate whether FUS and MB could improve the effect of chemotherapy in...
Current unconventional well forecasting relies primarily on decline curve analysis or data-driven methods, which lack predictive power for new well designs and changing operating conditions. While full-physics reservoir simulation provides more reliable predictions, its computational demands make it...
This study investigates the potential of utilizing existing well infrastructure in marine CSEM for efficient CO2 storage monitoring, focusing on detecting and characterizing deep CO2 plumes, with applications to Aurora and Smeaheia storage sites. Analysing EM signals from well casings excited by a...
Accurately monitoring and managing energy consumption in buildings is critical for improving efficiency and reducing environmental impact. Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) enables energy disaggregation from aggregate meter data, but disaggregating heating and cooling loads presents unique...
Trolling on social media has a profound impact on its victims, yet existing literature offers a limited understanding of the factors driving this behavior. This study applies deindividuation and contagion theories to explore the phenomenon, surveying 337 Facebook users and 275 Instagram users and...

Enhancing the geometric accuracy of additive manufacturing (AM) processes remains a vital challenge, particularly in the context of directed energy deposition (DED). This paper investigates the use of a laser line scanner for real-time layer height estimation during the DED process. The proposed...
Digital Education is recognised as a key transformative innovation for K-12 school and university teaching and learning, as well as, for professional development and vocational training. As a result, blended and online courses are nowadays widely deployed to meet the needs of K-12, higher education...
This article examines how analytical, operational, and political capacities shape policy instrument design, using Brazil's wind energy policy as a case study. While prior research has often focused on political capacity, we apply the Policy Capacity Framework to show that improvements in a broader...
In recent years, several studies that analyze and interpret fish behavioral patterns in aquaculture settings have been published. Understanding how the fish react and respond to various scenarios and treatments can help provide insight and knowledge on how to achieve sustainable and efficient...
This study describes the temporal and spatial dynamics of microbiota composition, water quality parameters and fish health status in a commercial Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) for yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi) spanning from April to November 2021. Water quality was effectively...
Development of advanced control strategies in building and district HVAC systems is growing due to needs to reduce energy use and costs, provide grid flexibility, and ensure performance of novel systems. However, new control strategies face slow adoption due to limited benchmarking, operational...
