The oldest printed maps of the Farthest North
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022)<p>“Looking to the North” is a unique cartographic exhibition currently on display at the Polar Museum in Tromsø. The exhibition features some of the most spectacular printed maps of the northern regions, among them a copy of the first printed map of the European Far North, published in Ulm 1482, in present-day Germany. UiT The Arctic University of Norway boasts one of the finest collections of ... -

Omicron Variant Generates a Higher and More Sustained Viral Load in Nasopharynx and Saliva Than the Delta Variant of SARS-CoV-2
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-31)The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 spreads more easily than earlier variants, possibly as a result of a higher viral load in the upper respiratory tract and oral cavity. Hence, we investigated whether the Omicron variant generates a higher viral load than that of the Delta variant in saliva and nasopharynx. Both specimens were collected from 52 Omicron and 17 Delta cases at two time points one week ... -
On a Parametric Estimation for a Convolution of Exponential Densities
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-07-28)Broad application of the continuous-time Markov chain is caused by memoryless property of exponential distribution. An employment of non-exponential distributions leads to remarkable analytical difficulties. The usage of arbitrary non-negative density approximation by a convolution of exponential densities is a way of considerable interest. Two aspects of the problem solution are considered. First, ... -
On Academic Bildung in Higher Education: A Scandinavian approach
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2015)Are there specific qualities or traits of a Scandinavian concept of Academic Bildung to be found in higher education in the Scandinavian countries today? If there are, can and should we expect to find such traits in students going through net-based education? <p> <p>In this chapter we discuss what Academic Bildung is and should be in general, and what it is or has a potential to be, in higher ... -
On an Interrupted Bivariate Renewal Process and Its Applications
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-07)A special case of the bivariate renewal process is investigated. It is supposed, that this process is considered while the second component has a positive value. The algorithm for a calculation of the corresponding time’s density is presented. In addition, a case of preventive renewal is considered. Such renewal takes place when the value of the second component is positive but is less than a fixed ... -

On the correction of temperatures derived from meteor wind radars due to geomagnetic activity
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-12)Radars used to observe meteor trails in the mesosphere deliver information on winds and temperature. Use of these radars is becoming a standard method for determining mesospheric dynamics and temperatures worldwide due to relatively low costs and ease of deployment. However, recent studies have revealed that temperatures may be overestimated in conditions such as high geomagnetic activity. The effect ... -
On the division of labor between roots and functional structure
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2017-05)This chapter argues that there is a typology of languages according to how much meaning a root encodes independently of its syntactic categorization. This typology is illustrated by an in-depth discussion of three languages: English, Greek, and Hebrew. Hebrew is argued to represent one end of the scale where the root encodes a minimal and highly abstract meaning. English represents the other end ... -
On the Island Sensitivity of Topicalization in Norwegian: An Experimental Investigation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-03)Mainland Scandinavian languages have been reported to allow movement from embedded questions, relative clauses, and complex NPs—domains commonly considered to be islands crosslinguistically. Yet in formal acceptability studies Scandinavian participants often show 'island effects': they reject island-violating movement similarly to native speakers of 'island-sensitive' languages. To investigate this ... -
On the nightglow polarisation for space weather exploration
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-28)We present here observations of the polarisation of four auroral lines in the auroral oval and in the polar cusp using a new ground polarimeter called <i>Petit Cru</i>. Our results confirm the already known polarisation of the red line, and show for the first time that the three other lines observed here (namely 557.7 nm, 391.4 nm and 427.8 nm) are polarised as well up to a few percent. We show that ... -

On the relation between ionospheric parameters and sunspot number
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-27)In a recent study, mid-latitude ionospheric parameters were compared with solar activity; it was suggested that the relationship between these, earlier assumed stable, might be changing with time (Lastovicka, 2019). Here, the information is extended to higher latitude (69.6°N, 19.2E) and further back in time. For the ionospheric F-region (viz. the critical frequency, FoF2) the same behaviour is seen ... -
On the spectrum of convolution operator with a potential
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-09)This paper focuses on the spectral properties of a bounded self-adjoint operator in <b><i>L</i><sub>2</sub></i></b>(R<sup>d</sup>) being the sum of a convolution operator with an integrable convolution kernel and an operator of multiplication by a continuous potential converging to zero at infinity. We study both the essential and the discrete spectra of this operator. It is shown that the essential ... -
On the temporal evolution of turbopause altitude, 1996-2021, 70 N, 19 E
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-04)Medium frequency radars with multiple receivers are able to track the movement of the interference pattern on the ground from echoes from irregularities in refractive index. In particular, refractive index in the mesosphere is determined by electron density – commonly known as the ionospheric D-region. Thus using this technique it is possible to determine winds in the height regime 70-90 km, ... -
On Uniqueness of Submaximally Symmetric Vector Ordinary Differential Equations of C-Class
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-10)The fundamental invariants for vector ODEs of order ≥3 considered up to point transformations consist of generalized Wilczynski invariants and C-class invariants. An ODE of C-class is characterized by the vanishing of the former. For any fixed C-class invariant U , we give a local (point) classification for all submaximally symmetric ODEs of C-class with U≢0 and all remaining C-class invariants ... -
The oncolytic peptide LTX-315 kills cancer cells through Bax/Bak-regulated mitochondrial membrane permeabilization
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-09-10)LTX-315 has been developed as an amphipathic cationic peptide that kills cancer cells. Here, we investigated the putative involvement of mitochondria in the cytotoxic action of LTX-315. Subcellular fractionation of LTX-315-treated cells, followed by mass spectrometric quantification, revealed that the agent was enriched in mitochondria. LTX-315 caused an immediate arrest of mitochondrial ... -
One-year protocol biopsies from ABO-incompatible renal allografts compared with a matched cohort of ABO-compatible allografts
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-01-21)Abstract: Introduction: Early acute antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) occurs more frequently in ABO-incompatible (ABOi) than in ABO-compatible (ABOc) kidney transplantation. This could lead to increased inflammation/scarring in the ABOi grafts. Protocol biopsy data in ABOi kidney recipients are scarce.<p> <p>Methods: A single-center retrospective matched cohort study was conducted. Eighty ...
