Sustainable Polymers for Solar Collector Applications

Previous results from the group have resulted in the first commercial all-plastics solar collectors. This success has been an inspiration behind the proposed new IEA-SHCP Task "Polymeric Materials for Solar Thermal Applications", now approved by the ExCo. The aim of the present project is partic...

International workshop on ions in bacteria

The rationale for organizing this type of workshop is that the ion content in cells is strongly related to the cellular physiology. On a broad basis we will discuss the interactions between compatible organic solutes and inorganic ions with respect to cel lular levels, transport, and availability...

BIONÆR-Bionæringsprogram

Farming systems for high quality food products and sustainable agriculture in mountainous areas

The agriculture in the mountain districts of southern Norway is based on small farms and use of mountain pastures. High quality products sold at high price are one possible solution for mountain agriculture. Branding of products requires documentation of quality traits. In this project we will de...

Linking physics and biology - Structuring of cod-populations in the North Sea/Skagerrak water-system

We propose to study the physical and biological mechanisms that generate and maintain a highly genetically structured population of cod in the Skagerrak water system. We hypothesize that a combination of oceanographic features (i.e., within fjords water c irculation), spawning behavior (i.e. stro...

Enhanced service life of coated wooden facades

Coated wooden claddings are widely used in Norway. But competition from other materials that has less input of labour at the construction site and less demands for maintenance is increasing. Discolouring fungi on the surface of coated wood in outdoor appl ications is an increasing concern. The to...

The optimal choice and timing of agricultural policies in the presence of uncertainty

Agricultural policy analysis has traditionally focused on the optimal choice of policy instruments for a given set of policy objectives. Less attention has been paid to the fact that the timing of policy implementation is another choice variable to policy makers. This choice is reflected in the ...

Climate change impacts in the Electricity Sector

Climate change will have impacts on electricity markets, both on demand and supply. In Norway, important likely impacts are that the supply of hydropower and wind power will be boosted by weather changes, while warmer winters will dampen heating demand. H owever, in other European countries, the ...

Modelling disease dispersal in marine fish aquaculture in Norwegian coastal areas: Contributions to a new concept of area management?

As a measure to avoid the spreading of fish and shellfish diseases, a defined distance is required between all aquaculture facilities. From 2006, this requirement was also implemented for intermediate live storing of fish. The established distance regulat ions represent a clear limitation to the ...
