Biokinetics of Nanomaterials: The Role of Biopersistence
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-03-22)Nanotechnology risk management strategies and environmental regulations continue to rely on hazard and exposure assessment protocols developed for bulk materials, including larger size particles, while commercial application ... -
Biomass based activated carbon electrodes for capacitative deionization in the context of nitrate and phosphate removal
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Capacitative deionization (CDI) technique is widely pursued for the removal and recovery of ionic contaminants from wastewater, as it does not leave secondary waste and can operate at low voltages < 1.2V vs. reversible ... -
Biomass soaking treatments to reduce potentially undesirable compounds in the edible seaweeds sugar kelp (Saccharina latissima) and winged kelp (Alaria esculenta) and health risk estimation for human consumption
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Samples of cultivated edible kelps Alaria esculenta and Saccharina latissima were analysed for their cadmium, iodine and inorganic arsenic contents. The inorganic arsenic levels were low in both species but samples of A. ... -
Biomedical Wireless Sensor Network – phase II
(Research report, 2010)Care for patients in advanced intra-hospital clinical environments as operating rooms and critical care environments like dedicated intensive care units, requires use of an increasing number of point-of-care medical devices ... -
Biomonitoring of Benzene and Effect of Wearing Respirators during an Oil Spill Field Trial at Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-07-13)Objectives The main aim of this study was to assess the biological uptake of benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) for subjects exposed to fresh crude oil released at sea. Methods: The study included 22 ... -
Biomonitoring using tagged sentinel fish and acoustic telemetry in commercial salmon aquaculture: A feasibility study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-08)We tested if it is technically feasible to monitor fish in real-time in full-scale commercial fish farms using acoustic telemetry. 31 Atlantic salmon were equipped with acoustic transmitter tags containing depth sensors. ... -
Biophysical Characterization of Viral and Lipid-Based Vectors for Vaccines and Therapeutics with Light Scattering and Calorimetric Techniques
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Novel vaccine platforms for delivery of nucleic acids based on viral and non-viral vectors, such as recombinant adeno associated viruses (rAAV) and lipid-based nanoparticles (LNPs), hold great promise. However, they pose ... -
Biosynthesis of Long-Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Marine Gammarids: Molecular Cloning and Functional Characterisation of Three Fatty Acyl Elongases
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Long-chain (C20–24) polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) are essential nutrients that are mostly produced in marine ecosystems. Previous studies suggested that gammarids have some capacity to endogenously produce LC-PUFAs. ... -
Biotransformation in water and soil of nitrosamines and nitramines potentially generated from amine-based CO2 capture technology
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-03)Nitrosamines (NSAs) and nitramines (NAs) are identified as possible degradation products from amine-based post-combustion CO2-capture (PCCC). Selected NSAs and NAs were subjected to aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation ... -
Biotransformation of chemically dispersed diesel at sub-zero temperatures using artificial brines
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The biotransformation of hydrocarbon compounds in seawater at sub-zero temperature has gained research interest in recent years with the most focus placed on temperatures around 0°C. In this study, biotransformation of ... -
Bioøkonomi i Innlandet - Tiltak og virkemidler
(SINTEF rapport;2020:00943, Research report, 2020)Denne rapporten er en analyse som viser utfordringer med dagens virkemidler, og hvilke eksisterende og nye tiltak som kan utløse verdiskapingspotensialet i bioøkonomirelaterte næringer i Innlandet. Det er gjort en bred ... -
Bisection Algorithm based Indirect Finite Control Set Model Predictive Control for Modular Multilevel Converters
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2021)In this work, an idea based on the bisection algorithm is used to reduce the computational burden of indirect finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) for modular multilevel converters (MMCs). The proposed ... -
Black Liquor and Wood Char-Derived Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Materials for Supercapacitors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Herein, we present a synthesis route for high-efficiency nitrogen-doped carbon materials using kraft pulping residue, black liquor, and wood charcoal as carbon sources. The synthesized nitrogen-doped carbon materials, based ... -
Blending fra vegarbeidsplassen
(Lecture, 2008)Vegarbeid blir stadig oftere utført nattestid for å redusere ulemper for trafikken. Dette medfører at trafikanten ledes inn på veger med uvant og kanskje uvanlig kurvatur og beskaffenhet, samtidig som det er mørkt. Derfor ... -
Blending new and old in sustainability transitions: Technological alignment between fossil fuels and biofuels in Norwegian coastal shipping
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Facing increasing pressure to decarbonize, innovation within the shipping sector has turned to low-and zero carbon solutions. In this paper we investigate how the development and implementation of biodiesel and liquefied ... -
