(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
    The breakdown of plant material fuels soil functioning and biodiversity. Currently, process understanding of global decomposition patterns and the drivers of such patterns are hampered by the lack of coherent large-scale ...

  • Work Placement in Higher Education – Bridging the Gap between Theory and Practice 

    Immerstein, Robert; Hasleberg, Harald; Bråthen, Terje (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
    During the engineering education, the focus is on theoretical knowledge and less on the practical competence to be a professional engineer. To lead higher education into the future, it is critical to develop models and ...

  • The Organizer Dilemma: Outcomes from a Collaboration Exercise 

    Sørensen, Jarle Løwe; Carlström, Eric; Torgersen, Glenn-Egil; Christiansen, Atle Martin; Kim, Tae-Eun; wahlstrøm, Stig; Magnussen, Leif Inge (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
    In crisis management, cross-sector collaboration exercises are perceived as improving preparedness and develop team-integration efforts. However, studies show that exercises may tend to produce results with limited learning ...

  • Cane toads beneath bird rookeries: utilization of a natural disturbance by an invasive species 

    Lettoof, Damian C.; Lyons, Jessica A; Shine, Richard; Maniel, Grégoire; Mayer, Martin; Natusch, Daniel J D (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
    Many invasive species exploit anthropogenically disturbed habitats, but most of those taxa evolved long before humans. Presumably, then, an ability to use natural (non-anthropogenic) disturbances pre-adapted invaders to a ...

  • The Activator Mechanism of Piperazine in Aqueous Methyldiethanolamine Solutions 

    Ying, Jiru; Raets, Stef; Eimer, Dag-Arne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
    Piperazine (PZ) is added to aqueous methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) solutions to achieve a greater CO2 absorption in CO2 capture technology. It is referred to as “activated MDEA solutions” in the industry. However, does PZ ...

  • Energy and Economic Analysis of Improved Absorption Configurations for CO2 Capture 

    Aromada, Solomon Aforkoghene; Øi, Lars Erik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
    The shortcoming of amine-based CO2 absorption technology is the large heat demand for desorption and it requires huge capital investment. Thus, it is expedient to comprehensively and critically analyse alternative process ...
