Norway travel

An interesting approach is if companies seek for benchmarking partners within totally different business sectors (Wireman 2004). The public health service in Norway travelled to Toyota s plant in Japan to learn and to get ideas fi-om the car producer (Adresseavisen 2009). One of Toyota s fundamental ideas is to have zero goods in stock. If Toyota can practise this, why should it not be possible for the public health service to do the same (Adresseavisen 2009). 

Wave size is determined by wind speed and fetch, the distance over the oceans surface which the wind travels. Favorable wind energy sites are generally western coastlines facing the open ocean such as the Pacific Coast of North America and the Atlantic Coast of Northern Europe. Norway, Denmark, Japan, and the United Kingdom are the world leaders in wave energy technologies. 

This brilliant career ran into WWII. Gurney was in Norway when war broke out, and return to England was not practical. Much of the war was spent in Russia and when Gurney finally reached the United States (traveling eastward), he fell under the suspicion of American authorities had he perhaps been infected with Communism His tragic end took place on a New York street in 1953, in collapse from a heart attack, brought on, it has been said, by the overzealous treatment he had received from U.S. immigration officials. 

Fig. 1.18 Roeild Amundsen of Norway was not a man who smiled a lot. He was instead driven by his passion for exploration of the polar regions. Being a thorough and methodical person, he trained himself and his companions in the art of polar travel and planned meticulously in order to assure success without injury to the members of his team. This portrait of Amundsen is displayed in Oslo in the museum that houses the Pram, the ship in which he and his men traveled to Antarctica for the purpose of reaching the South Pole...

But the scope of Onsager s contribution was enormous. In the mid-1920s when he was in his early twenties and before he had completed his doctorate, he traveled from his native Norway to Zurich to tell a... 

Christian Gottlob Gmelin travelled in France, England, Norway, and Sweden (where he worked with Berzelius) and was professor (1817) of chemistry and pharmacy in Tubingen. He worked on lithium compounds (see p. 152), mineral analysis, etc. He mentions the turmeric paper test for boric acid, discovered artificial ultramarine independently of J. B. Guimet (1826), and translated the first three volumes of Berzelius s Jahres-Bericht (see p. 146).

Erringtons schedule in the summer and autumn of 1947 provides a representative portrait of his day-to-day activities in this period. In the summer he travelled to England, France, Switzerland, and Italy to line up sales agents to handle Eldorado s radium business abroad. By September he had negotiations under way with potential agents in Argentina, Brazil, India, Mexico, Norway, Switzerland, and South Africa. Later Australia and China were added to the list.

In the following example unsupervised extrema classification (Subsection 4.3) is applied to map the extent of high amplitude anomalies observed within an overburden formation in a North Sea field, offshore Norway. The anomalies are interpreted to represent volumes of ancient gas stored within a chaimel and moraine system in the formation. The top and base of the formation is interpreted manually in advance, and the extrema classification is rim in a seismic sub-volume confined by these two interpretations. The sub-volume covers a horizontal region of 711 x 446 samples, with a sample rate of 12.5m in both directions. The vertical extent of the classification volume is up to 50 samples, with an average of 29 samples, and the vertical two-way travel-time sample rate is 4ms. The extrema points within the formation was classified into six classes, using eight attributes.
