Syngas fermentation can play an important role in implementing the concept of biorefinery as it can serve as a platform to convert high-lignin biomass to biofuels. For the utilization of this process in commercial scale, the generation of an experimental database supported by a deterministic mathematical model and optimization is necessary. In this study, a locally isolated clostridial consortium, ...

Studies report that writing skills of many beginner students in Norwegian higher education institutions are not adequately developed, showing a lack of critical thinking and referencing technique and a poor requisite language ability (Wollcheid et al. 2020). Literature also shows that a traditional lecture setting does not help students to enhance their learning autonomy (Rynning, 2014). ...

The AutoStore Bins are highly technical plastic products manufactured with injection moulding. To ensure the production parameters are within given specifications, CMM scanning is done on samples from the production.

In compact living spaces like micro-houses and apartments, there is a growing interest in décor and furnishing that utilize multi-functional systems and furniture. Of particular interest is the ability to facilitate the transformation of room setups, allowing for changes in the viewing positions of TVs regardless of alterations in room orientation. A thorough examination of the problem area uncovered ...

The usability of bridges is highly dependent on their safety conditions since they are subjected to all sorts of loading that might compromise their ability to withstand stresses over a prolonged period. As a result, dynamic response evaluations and fracture mechanics analysis are essential concepts that can help in monitoring the behaviour of bridges, predicting their lifespan, and planning ...

This master thesis reports on the research of how weather affects driving patterns during the winter. By utilizing Python, data was analyzed to show how much different weather phenomena affects the total amount of traffic. Showing how things like precipitation, temperatures, wind, snow depth affects said amount. The result of the analysis shows how big effect the various weather conditions have and ...

This document is a master thesis that attempts to assess the plan of pumping water from the nearby lakes of Djupåvatnet (435 m), Buvatnet (465 m), and Strandvatnet (5 m above sea level) up to the lake of Niingensvatnet (510-494 m above sea level) to store energy for later use and increase energy generation. The assessment process proved that pumping water from Strandvatnet and Djupåvatnet to ...

As the world faces the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change, renewable sources of energy have emerged as a viable solution. However, integrating renewable energy into existing power grids poses unique challenges. The availability of solar power depends on sunlight, wind power on wind speed, and this variability can cause instability and fluctuations in the grid, ...
