Within the eTrace project to develop and evaluate an electronic traceability system,a pilot test was performed in Sweden to test an EPCIS-based traceability system to track product through the cod fish value chain. The pilot was conducted successfully from 17th – 21st May, 2010 in Simrishamn, Sweden...
ADSL, VDSL and SHDSL in 0.4 mm twisted pair cables. An important part of the work has been to investigate the compatibility between different DSL systems. The range of SHDSL system compliant with ITU G.991.2 Annex G has been analysed. These systems allow for bitrates up to 3.848 Mbit/s and 5.696 Mbit/...
MPRI/DFO Canada, ITOPF and the Norwegian Coastal Administration. In order to meet new requirements for lower sulfur oxides (SOx) emissions to the air, new generation of low sulfur marine fuels are now replacing the traditional Intermediate bunker fuels and heavy fuel oils (like IFO 180 and IFO 380) with "Ultra...
...were used for tracking between the slaughterhouse and Skjeberg. Hides which had dot peening and laser engravings went through the tanning process and the hides returned still had hair on them which made it difficult to read the markings. The UHF and LF RFID tags could not be located in the hides after...
... but with the possibility of occasional drifting sea ice in the winter season. Besides, there will be future increasing ships traffic in the Arctic and ice-covered waters, which demands an operational oil spill contingency for icy waters. This report gives examples of scenario-based recommendations...
...analysis it is often helpful to draw diagrams to illustrate threat and risk scenarios. To ensure the effectiveness of such diagrams, it is essential that they are easily understood by people without training and experience in modeling and security analysis. In this report we present an empirical investigation...

This case is initiated by Elverum...
...implementation of the EEDI is based on calm water conditions. Depending on the type and size, vessels are not allowed to exceed a threshold for emitted CO2. However, when vessels operate under real-sea conditions with effects of wind and waves, the emissions are higher than assumed for a given speed according...
This report contains an evaluation of the CORAS UML profile and consists og two parts:Modeling a benchmarking test called ""the core security risk scenarios"" using the CORAS UML profileAssessing the quality og the CORAS UML profile using a quality evaluation framework for modeling languages.The results...
...equipment are the reporting, classification and analysis of failure data. However, experience shows that considerable manual effort is needed to attain high-quality data, and therefore, this report investigates possibilities for automated failure reporting and failure class determination. The proposed...

We find that, on the medium and long term, the total...
...potentials of five different fillers and three commercial plasticizers were explored in this report. The main purpose was to determine how these materials interact with each other to aid dispersions, in an effort to explain the macroscopic observations of sedimentations and interactions of fines in crushed...
...of measuring work conditions, and offers suggestions for improving practice. We discuss the needs for updated and representative measurement of working conditions in Norway, and argue that despite Norway’s strong tradition of work life research, studies of work life and working conditions have almost...
...summarizes the activities and results from the research project "Oil spill containment by use of air bubbles". The goal of the pro;ect has been to investigate how air bubble induced flows can be used as a barrier against oil spills in coastal and environmentally sensitive areas and to prepare for industrial...
...passenger car tyres measured in 2003 and 2004. In 2003 preliminary measurements on 6 tyres on 9 different road surfaces were performed. In 2004, the measurements were done in 2 parts:1) 7 car tyres were measured on two test tracks in the Netherlands: ISO-surface and a two layer porous asphalt (2LPA)2)...
