    • Creative Clusters – Urban Utopia or Regional Remedy? A Nordic perspective on the role of the creative industries in regional development 

      Sand, Stine Agnete (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-07)
      The creative industries have had a major impact on cultural policy, and it is often argued that these industries can be a vehicle for regional growth. Using regional film production in Norway as a case, I discuss the creative industries, the cluster concept and its impact on policy. I analyse two film policy documents from 2007 and 2015 in order to show how the issue of size and critical mass is an ...

    • Use of artificial illumination to reduce Pacific halibut bycatch in a U.S. West Coast groundfish Bottom trawl 

      Lomeli, Mark J. M.; Wakefield, W. Waldo; Herrmann, Bent; Dykstra, Claude L.; Simeon, Anna; Rudy, Dana M.; Planas, Josep V. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-05)
      In the U.S. West Coast groundfish bottom trawl fishery, Pacific halibut (<i>Hippoglossus stenolepis</i>) bycatch can impact some fishers’ ability to fully utilize their quota shares of groundfishes. In this study, we compared the catch efficiency for Pacific halibut and four commercially important groundfish species between an illuminated and non-illuminated trawl. The illuminated trawl caught ...

    • Ecological interactions and evolution: Forgotten parts of biodiversity? 

      Bøhn, Thomas; Amundsen, Per-Arne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2004-09-01)
      <p>Organisms are shaped contemporaneously by ecological processes and over long periods of time by evolution, processes that have led to the diversification of life. But is the diversity of life all biodiversity is? We argue that biodiversity is the conclusion drawn both from the variety of life forms and from the variety of processes that have shaped them. One cannot talk about biodiversity in a ...

    • Gill raker morphology and feeding ecology of two sympatric morphs of European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) 

      Amundsen, Per-Arne; Bøhn, Thomas; Vågå, G. H. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2004)
      Two whitefish morphs have been identified in lakes in northern Norway from a bimodal distribution of gill raker numbers: a sparsely- and a densely-rakered. Habitat choice and feeding ecology of whitefish were studied in five lakes with the two morphs living in sympatry, and in five lakes harbouring only the sparsely-rakered morph. In sympatry, the two whitefish morphs exhibited a strict niche ...

    • FSI of viscosity measuring mechanical resonators: theoretical and experimental analysis 

      Brunner, Daniel; Hausler, Klaus; Kumar, Sunil; Boiger, Gernot; Khawaja, Hassan; Moatamedi, Mojtaba (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2017-12)
      Measuring viscosity online in processes is crucial to maintaining the quality of many chemical and biological processes. The damping induced by the liquid around the resonator is used to determine the viscosity of the liquids. Typical viscosity sensors are probe style and obstruct the piping system, disturbing the flow and creating a potential source of contamination in critical processes. The ...
