  G(3)-supergeometry and a supersymmetric extension of the Hilbert–Cartan equation 

  Kruglikov, Boris; Santi, Andrea; The, Dennis (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-23)

  We realize the simple Lie superalgebra <i>G</i>(3) as supersymmetry of various geometric structures, most importantly super-versions of the Hilbert–Cartan equation (SHC) and Cartan's involutive PDE system that exhibit <i>G</i>(2) symmetry. We provide the symmetries explicitly and compute, via the first Spencer cohomology groups, the Tanaka–Weisfeiler prolongation of the negatively graded Lie ...

  FuncPEP: A Database of Functional Peptides Encoded by Non-Coding RNAs 

  Dragomir, Mihnea Paul; Manyam, Ganiraju C; Ott, Leonie Florence; Berland, Léa; Knutsen, Erik; Ivan, Cristina; Lipovich, Leonard; Broom, Bradley M.; Calin, George A (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-23)

  Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are essential players in many cellular processes, from normal development to oncogenic transformation. Initially, ncRNAs were defined as transcripts that lacked an open reading frame (ORF). However, multiple lines of evidence suggest that certain ncRNAs encode small peptides of less than 100 amino acids. The sequences encoding these peptides are known as small open reading ...

  I don’t want to think about it: A qualitative study of children’s and parents’ experiences with regular needle injections at home 

  Sørensen, Kari; Skirbekk, Helge; Kvarstein, Gunnvald; Wøien, Hilde (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-22)

  <i>Background</i> - Overall outcomes of pediatric rheumatic diseases (RD) have improved due to treatment with biologic agents and methotrexate. For many children, this treatment often entails regular needle injections. Pain and fear of needle injections are common in childhood, but how children and parents handle long-term needle injections at home has not been fully explored. This study aimed to ...

  The lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase CbpD promotes Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence in systemic infection 

  Askarian, Fatemeh; Uchiyama, Satoshi; Masson, Helen; Sørensen, Henrik Vinther; Golten, Ole; Bunæs, Anne Cathrine; Mekasha, Sophanit; Røhr, Åsmund Kjendseth; Kommedal, Eirik Garpestad; Ludviksen, Judith Anita; Arntzen, Magnus Øverlie; Schmidt, Benjamin; Zurich, Raymond H.; Van Sorge, Nina M.; Eijsink, Vincent; Krengel, Ute; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Lewis, Nathan E.; Nizet, Victor; Vaaje-Kolstad, Gustav (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-23)

  The recently discovered lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs), which cleave polysaccharides by oxidation, have been associated with bacterial virulence, but supporting functional data is scarce. Here we show that CbpD, the LPMO of <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>, is a chitin-oxidizing virulence factor that promotes survival of the bacterium in human blood. The catalytic activity of CbpD was ...

  On rational forward-looking behavior in economic geography: An experimental analysis 

  Barreda-Tarrazona, Iván; Kundu, Tapas; Østbye, Stein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-05)

  This paper adapts the canonical New Economic Geography model for experimental testing of the model's behavioral assumptions by developing a finite-player, finite-horizon dynamic game of migration. Our analysis gives distinctive predictions when migration is consistent with myopic behavior (MB) and when it is consistent with sequentially rational or perfect forward-looking behavior (FB). These ...
