Gelatin based adhesives have been used in the last decades in different biomedical applications due to the excellent biocompatibility, easy processability, transparency, non-toxicity, and reasonable mechanical properties to mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM). Gelatin adhesives can be easily tuned to gain different viscoelastic and mechanical properties that facilitate its ocular application. We ...

The characteristics of turbulent plasma in the winter cusp ionosphere is studied based on in-situ data from the Investigation of Cusp Irregularities (ICI) sounding rockets. The electron density fluctuations from ICI-2 and ICI-3 missions have been analyzed for the whole flight, using advanced timeseries analysis techniques. The analysis of the autocorrelation scale is indicative of the turbulence ...

I dette kapittelet rettes søkelyset mot kompetanse, kompetansebehov og kompetanseutvikling i NAVs arbeidsrettede innsats. Gjennom intervjuer med veiledere og ledere ved tre NAV-kontorer i nord har vi fått et innblikk i deres erfaringer og vurderinger. Informantene har beskrevet hvordan NAV-kontorene består av medarbeidere med ulik fag- og erfaringsbakgrunn, at deres kompetanse må være tilpasset ulike ...

Two new species of biting midges are described and illustrated from West Palaearctic. They are: Forcipomyia (F.) pyrenaicasp. nov. from France (Pyrenees-Orientales) and Monohelea mediterraneasp. nov. from France (Pyrenees-Orientales) and North Algeria (Sahara).

Results of in situ U–Pb dating of calcite spherulites, cone-in-cone (CIC) calcite and calcite fibres from a calcareous concretion of the upper Ediacaran of Finnmark, Arctic Norway, are reported. Calcite spherulites from the innermost layers of the concretion yielded a lower intercept age of 563 ± 70 Ma, which, although imprecise, is within uncertainty of the age of sedimentation based on fossil ...

<p>1 Background <br>UiT The Arctic University of Norway (UiT) has recently established UiT Open Research Data, an open access service to share, cite, preserve, discover, analyze and reuse research data (http://opendata.uit.no). Academic research most often is a co-operative process, building on dialogue and sharing of insight and data results of earlier works. Open access to scholarly works makes ...

<i>Objectives</i> - Using The Munin Repository at UiT The Arctic University of Norway as a case study, a survey was conducted among the UiT researchers to examine their attitudes and practices towards the repository and towards open access (OA) publications.<p><p> <i>Methods</i> - The survey questionnaire was sent to all employees at UiT between August and October 2016, but only academic staff ...
