Benthic dissolved silicon and iron cycling at glaciated Patagonian fjord heads
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-18)Glacier meltwater supplies silicon (Si) and iron (Fe) sourced from weathered bedrock to downstream ecosystems. However,the extent to which these nutrients reach the ocean is regulated by the nature of the benthic cycling of dissolved Siand Fewithin fjord systems,given the rapid deposition of reactive particulate fractions at fjord heads. Here, we examine the benthic cycling of the two nutrients at ... -

We report a case of biliary adenofibroma with transformation to an intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. -
Bilingualism as a gradient measure modulates functional connectivity of language and control networks
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-22)There is currently no agreement on which factor modulates most effectively and enduringly brain plasticity in bilingual individuals. Grouping heterogeneous linguistic profiles under a dichotomous condition (bilingualism versus monolingualism) may obscure critical aspects of language experience underlying neural changes, thus leading to variable and often conflicting findings. In the present study, ...
