      Patil, Ravindra Rajaram; Ansari, Saniya M.; Calay, Rajnish Kaur; Mustafa, Mohamad Y. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-26)
      There is an increasing trend of using automated and robotic systems for the tasks that are hazardous or inconvenient and dirty for humans. Sewers maintenance and cleaning is such a task where robots are already being used for inspection of underground pipes for blockages and damage. This paper reviews the existing robotic systems and various platforms and algorithms along with their capabilities and ...

    • Does the Evidence Support the Existence of the Simian Polyomavirus SV40 Vp4 Viroporin? 

      Henriksen, Stian; Rinaldo, Christine Hanssen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-18)
      The simian polyomavirus SV40 was reported to express Vp4, an N-terminally truncated form of the minor capsid proteins Vp2 and Vp3. Since a missense mutation of the putative Vp4 start codon (Vp2M228I) was found to give reduced progeny release and delayed lysis, Vp4 was claimed to be a viroporin. However, two independent research groups, including our own, were unable to replicate these findings. ...

    • A 24,000-year ancient DNA and pollen record from the Polar Urals reveals temporal dynamics of arctic and boreal plant communities 

      Clarke, Charlotte; Alsos, Inger Greve; Edwards, Mary E.; Paus, Aage; Gielly, Ludovic; Haflidason, Haflidi; Mangerud, Jan; Regnéll, Carl; Hughes, Paul D.M.; Svendsen, John-Inge; Bjune, Anne Elisabeth (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-18)
      A 24,000-year record of plant community dynamics, based on pollen and ancient DNA from the sediments (sedaDNA) of Lake Bolshoye Shchuchye in the Polar Ural Mountains, provides detailed information on the flora of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and also changes in plant community composition and dominance. It greatly improves on incomplete records from short and fragmented stratigraphic sequences ...

      Hansen, Poul Henning Gustaf; Kaldager, Marianne (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2021-09-03)
      Den i dag relativt ukjente samiske bonden Knut Lunde (1867-1937) levde og virket som helbreder på Dyrøy i Troms i en periode over mer enn 40 år. Lunde hadde ingen formell medisinsk utdannelse, men var i sin samtid kjent som «mirakeldoktoren på Dyrøy». Som helbreder kombinerte han flere medisinske praksiser og tok i bruk både kunnskap om biomedisin, urtemedisin basert på tradisjonell lokal naturkunnskap, ...

      Kim, Nguyen Thi Quyen; Van Hien, Huynh; Doan Khoi, Le Nguyen; Yagi, Nobuyuki; Lerøy Riple, Anna Karia (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-02)
      Continuous warnings on quality and food safety of shrimp products from importers have led to increases in port rejections. This has increased awareness amongst Vietnamese farmers for conducting shrimp farming according to specific certification guidelines. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the situation of quality control and effectiveness of Good Aquaculture Practices (GAP) in Vietnam ...

    • Neutral temperatures at 90 km altitude over Svalbard (78°N 16°E), 2002-2019, derived from meteor radar observations

      Zhu, Geyunjian Harry; Azharuddin, Mohammad; Islam, Rakibul; Rahmoune, Hassan; Deb, Suryyani; Kanji, Upasona; Das, Jyotirmoy; Osterrieth, Johannes; Aulakh, Parminder; Ibrahim-Hashi, Hashi; Manchanda, Raghav; Nilsson, Per; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Bhattacharyya, Maitreyee; Islam, Mohammad Mirazul; Hinkula, Jorma; Slater, Nigel K. H.; Patra, Hirak K. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-12)
      Nanomedicine is seen as a potential central player in the delivery of personalized medicine. Biocompatibility issues of nanoparticles have largely been resolved over the past decade. Despite their tremendous progress, less than 1% of applied nanosystems can hit their intended target location, such as a solid tumor, and this remains an obstacle to their full ability and potential with a high translational ...

    • Serum biochemistry and haematology in wild and captive bearded seals (Erignathus barbatus) from Svalbard, Norway 

      Tryland, Morten; Lydersen, Christian; Kovacs, Kit Maureen; Rafter, Espen; Thoresen, Stein Istre (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-26)
      Background - Health assessment of seals in captivity include haematology and serum biochemistry measurements. Because such parameters differ between species, it is crucial to have species-specific reference values for the interpretation of clinical samples. Furthermore, differences in nutrition and environment, life cycles as well as seasonal/annual cycles and varying physiological conditions can ...

    • Multitemporal Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 Images for Characterization and Discrimination of Young Forest Stands Under Regeneration in Norway 

      Akbari, Vahid; Solberg, Svein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-15)
      There is a need for mapping of forest areas with young stands under regeneration in Norway, as a basis for conducting tending, or precommercial thinning (PCT), whenever necessary. The main objective of this article is to show the potential of multitemporal Sentinel-1 (S-1) and Sentinel-2 (S-2) data for characterization and detection of forest stands under regeneration. We identify the most powerful ...

    • Genetic Aspects of Dental Erosive Wear and Dental Caries 

      Tulek, Amela; Mulic, Aida; Runningen, Maria; Lillemo, Jannike; Utheim, Tor Paaske; Khan, Qalbi; Sehic, Amer (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-13)
      Objectives. &e present review aims to give an overview of the literature focusing on novel genetic aspects of dental erosion and dental caries. Once the tooth erupts into the oral cavity, the regenerative capability of enamel is fundamentally limited due to the loss of dental epithelium during eruption. &e susceptibility or resistance to dental erosion and caries is presumably a result of environmental, ...

    • DYRK1A kinase inhibitors promote β-cell survival and insulin homeostasis 

      Barzowska, Agata; Pucelik, Barbara; Pustelny, Katarzyna; Matsuda, Alex; Martyniak, Alicja; Stępniewski, Jacek; Maksymiuk, Anna; Dawidowski, Maciej; Rothweiler, Ulli; Dulak, Józef; Dubin, Grzegorz; Czarna, Anna (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-31)
      The rising prevalence of diabetes is threatening global health. It is known not only for the occurrence of severe complications but also for the SARS-Cov-2 pandemic, which shows that it exacerbates susceptibility to infections. Current therapies focus on artificially maintaining insulin homeostasis, and a durable cure has not yet been achieved. We demonstrate that our set of small molecule ...
