Graphics Processing Units are immensely powerful processors and for variety applications they outperform the Central Processing Unit, CPU. The recent generations of GPU’s have a flexible architecture than older generations ...

Physical vulnerability is a key parameter in risk estimation. It defines the level of damage given that the hazard is realized, and hence translates hazard levels into risk levels. The quantitative assessment of vulnerability ...

Drinking water supplies are based on ground water resources all over the world. At some localities problems with higher concentrations of iron and manganese found in ground water. These higher concentration of these metals ...

Svartodden leddet i Huk Formasjonen ved Slemmestad, Buskerud, har blitt undersøkt for å beskrive avsetningsmiljøet i området da sedimentene ble avsatt under tidsperioden Ordovicium. Svartodden leddet er rikt på endoceratide ...

Forty-eight (48) core samples from well 35/4-1, 6610/3-1 and well 6610/2-1S were obtained from the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea. These wells are classified by NPD as dry. These core samples have been studied geochemically, ...

Paleoklimatologi er viktig for å kunne forutse kommende klimavariasjoner. 1600- og 1700-tallet regnes for å være en del av den lille istid. Den lille istid er en globalt kjøligere periode, og som for det nordiske området ...

A total of seventy reservoir core samples from nine wells of the Mid-Norway and the Barents Shelf were geochemically analyzed to compare the composition, alteration effects, maturation and organic facies. The analytical ...

The study presented focuses on mapping and interpretation of the Caledonian structures on Hovedøya and Lindøya, in the inner Oslofjord. The bulk tectonic caledonian transport direction and structures within the study area ...
