Work package 2 (WP2) aims to develop libraries for energy-efficient inter-processcommunication and data sharing on the EXCESS platforms. The Deliverable D2.4reports on the final prototype of programming abstractions for energy-efficient inter-process communication. Section 1 is the updated overview of the prototype of pro-gramming abstraction and devised power/energy models. The Section 2-6 contain ...

Sub-sea Arctic methane and gas hydrate reservoirs are expected to be severely impacted by ocean temperature increase and sea-level rise. Our understanding of the gas emission phenomenon in the Arctic is however partial, especially in deep environments where the access is difficult and hydro-acoustic surveys are sporadic. Here, we report on the first continuous pore-pressure and temperature measurements ...

Nasjonalt kunnskapssenter for helsetjenesten (nå Kunnskapssenteret i Folkehelseinstituttet) fikk i oppdrag å undersøke effekt av akupunktur sammenliknet med konservativ behandling for muskelskjelettsmerter. Akupunktur omfattet både klassisk kinesisk akupunktur og medisinsk akupunktur, inkludert triggerpunktbehandling eller såkalt «dry need‐ling», som har vestlig medisin som forklaringsmodell. Vi ...

<p>Offshore oil drilling is a complex process that requires careful coordination of hardware and control systems. Fault monitoring systems play an important role in such systems for safe and profitable operations. Thus, predictive maintenance and monitoring operating conditions of drilling systems are critical to the overall production cycle. In this paper, we are addressing the topic of condition ...

A series of three summer schools engaged nearly fifty graduate students in exploring science questions related to current Arctic challenges, and brought together leading Arctic researchers from the partner institutions. Each partner organised a Field School and each had their own unique styles and emphasis. This collaboration aimed to deepen the Arctic knowledge of the young generation, and to create ...

To study the flow of objects (tracers) in opaque flow processes, the PEPT (positron emission particle tracking) technique is utilized. The PEPT technique is based on the same principle of PET (positron emission tomography) which detects the characteristic back-to-back gamma pairs caused by positron-electron annihilation. The annihilation takes place within a few millimeters around the tracers labeled ...

In the marine realm, biomonitoring using environmental DNA (eDNA) of benthic communities requires destructive direct sampling or the setting‐up of settlement structures. Comparatively much less effort is required to sample the water column, which can be accessed remotely. In this study we assess the feasibility of obtaining information from the eukaryotic benthic communities by sampling the adjacent ...

Fine-tuning has received much attention in physics, and it states that the fundamental constants of physics are finely tuned to precise values for a rich chemistry and life permittance. It has not yet been applied in a broad manner to molecular biology. However, in this paper we argue that biological systems present fine-tuning at different levels, e.g. functional proteins, complex biochemical ...

Studier viser at intensivpasienter som gjennomgår intrahospital transport er utsatt for flere komplikasjoner enn intensivpasienter som ikke gjennomgår slike transporter. Forskning viser at mange uheldige hendelser relatert til intrahospital transport, kunne vært unngått eller redusert ved bruk av sjekkliste, strukturert planlegging og gjennomføring. Hensikt: Studien undersøker intensivsykepleieres ...

<p>Africa has deep contentions on the use of GM crops in agriculture, similar to those found in Europe and elsewhere. However, it is apparent that the debate is most protracted on the continent with two entrenched viewpoints i.e. the pro-GMO and anti-GMO groups. The challenge for an acceptable consensus is attributable to a complexity of issues relative to the introduction of GM maize into small-scale ...
