Interface in Architecture - Norwegian Association of Architects Conference Presentation + Panel moderator: Norwegian University of Science and Technology This presentation showed the work of the lapa: the research and teaching projects accomplished over th ...
Rankine cycles for low to medium power and low temperature heat using water as working fluid, were almost written off. The main arguments speaking against them are reviewed in this paper and the conceptual design of the equipment entirely revisited. An adv ...
In the first chapter of this thesis, coauthored with Patrick Gaulé, we reexamine the widely held belief, known as the "European Paradox", that while European academic institutions are good at producing academic research outputs, they lag behind US academic ...
Time resolved optical Kerr effect measurements have been used to det. the orientational dynamics of water in the pores of ZrO2 nanostructured films. We demonstrate that local heating effects can safely be ignored and present our results which are manifestl ...
A new transformation based on the Staudinger reaction is described, and its application in the design of a novel switch element to control peptide folding is demonstrated. We found that the azide switch is activated rapidly in water to promote acyl transfe ...
Hexofuranosides are widely spread in nature, and notably in numerous pathogenic microorganisms. This particular five-membered ring for hexosides leads to novel biological properties and, as usual in glycochemistry, to completely different reactivity and se ...
A straightforward approach to macrocyclic structures containing deoxysugar subunits was developed through the functionalization of a bishemiketal. The choice of the length and the nature of the linkers can provide macrocycles with diverse rigidities and po ...
The purpose of this article is to identify possible scenarios for the evolution of the European water supply and sanitation sectors (WSS) in the next 15 years, on the basis of empirical knowledge of its dynamics. These are: tendered market, tendered market ...
Urban areas are a focus of increasing conflict with regard to water use and water protection. Half of the world's population and about 73% of Europeans live in cities. Currently, about 82% of the total population growth of the world occurs in the cities of ...
The gas phase methylation of biphenyl with MeOH over HZSM-5 and HZSM-5 modified with Si(OEt)4 was investigated at atm. pressure in the presence of water. The modification of the outer surface of the catalyst pellets by silicate gives increased selectivity ...
