The biogeochemical impact of coccolithophores is defined not only by their overall abundance in the oceans but also by wide ranges in physiological traits such as cell size, degree of calcification and carbon production ...

Most permafrost is located in the Arctic, where frozen organic carbon makes it an important component of the global climate system. Despite the fact that the Arctic climate changes more rapidly than the rest of the globe, ...

The Icelandic population is scarce compared to the Norwegian, causing high variability in the observed mortalities. We apply two mortality models to data on the Norwegian population dating 60 years back, and the Icelandic ...

The naturally occurring peptide indolicidin from bovine neutrophils exhibits strong biological activity against a broad spectrum of microorganisms. This is believed to arise from selective interactions with the negatively ...

Adaptive radiation is the diversification of species to different ecological niches and has repeatedly occurred in different salmonid fish of postglacial lakes. In Lake Tinnsjøen, one of the largest and deepest lakes in ...

This thesis presents a two-part research process exploring how to visualize the air quality for young adults living in Oslo. Through a user-centered design process, we explore how technology can be used to visualize air ...

This study was conducted in a first year university course in computer programming. We investigated how the use of a digital assessment tool, consisting of quantitative weighting and which simultaneously generate qualitative ...

We consider spline functions over simplicial meshes in Rn. We assume that the spline pieces join together with some finite order of smoothness but the pieces themselves are infinitely smooth. Such splines can have extra ...

Bacillus anthracis , the causative agent of anthrax, is a considerable global health threat affecting wildlife, livestock, and the general public. In this study, whole‐genome sequence analysis of over 350 B. anthracis ...

Rain-on-snow (ROS) events are multivariate hydrometeorological phenomena that require a combination of rain and snowpack, with complex processes occurring on and within the snowpack. Impacts include floods and landslides, ...
