  Impact of Arctic shelf summer stratification on Holocene climate variability 

  Thibodeau, Benoit; Bauch, Henning A.; Knies, Jochen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-05-21)

  Understanding the dynamic of freshwater and sea-ice export from the Arctic is crucial to better comprehend the potential near-future climate change consequences. Here, we report nitrogen isotope data of a core from the Laptev Sea to shed light on the impact of the Holocene Siberian transgression on the summer stratification of the Laptev Sea. Our data suggest that the oceanographic setting was ...

  Gruppeforskjeller i spatiale evner. En kvantitativ studie av gruppeforskjeller i spatiale evner mellom fysikkstudenter og psykologistudenter 

  Fjærestad, Anita; Jørgensen, Elin Falkeng (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-04-30)

  Forskning har indikert kjønnsforskjeller i spatiale evner, i tillegg til gruppeforskjeller mellom studentgrupper. Menn presterer bedre på spatiale oppgaver enn kvinner, og «STEM»-studenter har vist seg å prestere bedre enn andre studenter. På bakgrunn av tidligere forskning ønsket vi å teste hypotesen om at fysikkstudenter presterer bedre på spatiale tester enn psykologistudenter. Femti deltakere ...

  Complement component 5 does not interfere with physiological hemostasis but is essential for Escherichia coli-induced coagulation accompanied by Toll-like receptor 4 

  Landsem, Anne; Fure, Hilde; Ludviksen, Judith K; Christiansen, Dorte; Lau, Corinna; Mathisen, Monica Dammen; Bergseth, Grete; Nymo, Stig Haugset; Lappegård, Knut Tore; Woodruff, T. M.; Espevik, Terje; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Brekke, Ole-Lars (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-19)

  There is a close cross‐talk between complement, Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) and coagulation. The role of the central complement component 5 (C5) in physiological and pathophysiological hemostasis has not, however, been fully elucidated. This study examined the effects of C5 in normal hemostasis and in <i>Escherichia coli</i>‐induced coagulation and tissue factor (TF) up‐regulation. Fresh whole blood ...

  Benthic-pelagic trophic coupling in an Arctic marine food web along vertical water mass and organic matter gradients 

  Stasko, Ashley D; Bluhm, Bodil; Michel, Christine; Archambault, Philippe; Majewski, Andrew; Reist, James D; Swanson, Heidi; Power, Michael (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-04-26)

  Understanding drivers of benthic-pelagic coupling in Arctic marine ecosystems is key to identifying benthic areas that may be sensitive to climate-driven changes in hydrography and surface production. We coupled algal biomass and sedimentary characteristics with stable isotope data for 113 fishes and invertebrates in the Canadian Beaufort Sea and Amundsen Gulf to examine how trophic structure was ...

  High-resolution landform assemblage along a buried glacio-erosive surface in the SW Barents Sea revealed by P-Cable 3D seismic data 

  Bellwald, Benjamin; Planke, Sverre; Lebedeva-Ivanova, Nina; Piasecka, Emilia Daria; Andreassen, Karin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-01)

  The Quaternary sedimentary record in the Arctic captures a diverse and evolving range of landscapes reflecting cli-mate changes. Here we study the geological landform assemblage of the Upper Regional Unconformity (URU) in theSW Barents Sea. The aims are (i) to characterize buried geological landforms on a meter-scale resolution, (ii) to un-derstand their link with underlying structures, and (iii) ...
