    • Evolution of a shear zone before, during and after melting 

      Lee, Amicia; Lloyd, Geoffrey E.; Torvela, Taija; Walker, Andrew M. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-03)
      Partial melt in the deforming mid- or lower continental crust causes a strength decrease and drives formation of lithological heterogeneities. However, mechanisms of formation of syn-melt deformation zones and strain partitioning in partially molten rock remain poorly understood. We use field and microstructural observations to unravel the evolution of a partial melt shear zone, Seiland Igneous ...

Denne studien vil vurdere tiltakene solenergi, biodrivstoff, ...
    • Wideband Self-Interference Cancellation Using Multi-Tap Filter in Radar Front End 

      Heiskel, Bendik (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2020-12-14)
      The largest hurdle in full duplex wireless systems is the self-interference introduced by the transmitted signal into the received signal. In multi antenna systems this interference is caused by the direct coupling between the transmitting and receiving antennas. In systems where the transmitter and receiver uses the same antenna the interference is caused by inadequate isolation between the ...

      Mathiesen, Vemund Nygaard (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-12-15)
      Data from a solar photovoltaic (PV) installation on Svalbard Airport Longyear has been analyzed to investigate performance of solar photovoltaics in the Arctic. Results show that the average capacity factor at the facility is 5.6 % after its first two full years of production. While the production in the winter is zero, monthly capacity factors are observed to be as high as 16 % in the summer. On ...
    • Towards detection and classification of microscopic foraminifera using transfer learning 

      Johansen, Thomas Haugland; Sørensen, Steffen Aagaard (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-06)
      <p>Foraminifera are single-celled marine organisms, which may have a planktic or benthic lifestyle. During their life cycle they construct shells consisting of one or more chambers, and these shells remain as fossils in marine sediments. Classifying and counting these fossils have become an important tool in e.g. oceanography and climatology. <p>Currently the process of identifying and counting ...
    • The Raunis section, central Latvia, revisited: first luminescence results and re-evaluation of a key Baltic States stratigraphic site 

      Kalińska, Edyta; Alexanderson, Helena; Krievāns, Māris (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-08)
      In interstadial deposits, sand interbeds gain limited consideration in comparison with organic sediments, and therefore tend to be underrepresented in paleoenvironmental reconstructions. The Raunis site, central-eastern Latvia, is an example where organic beds have already gained some attention and been used to understand the complex interactions between advance and retreat of the Scandinavian Ice ...
    • Neodymium isotope constraints on chemical weathering and past glacial activity in Svalbard 

      Jang, Kwangchul; Bayon, Germain; Han, Yeongcheol; Joo, Young Ji; Kim, Ji-Hoon; Ryu, Jong-Sik; Woo, Jusun; Forwick, Matthias; Szczuciński, Witold; Kim, Jung-Hyun; Nam, Seung-Il (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-15)
      <p>Neodymium (Nd) isotopes in leached authigenic components of marine sediments have been increasingly used as a tracer of past ocean-water masses. Despite the general assumption that the Nd isotopic composition of solutes released during chemical weathering fingerprints the source rocks on continents, preferential dissolution of easily dissolvable phases may result in significant deviations in Nd ...
    • The role of shelf morphology on storm-bed variability and stratigraphic architecture, Lower Cretaceous, Svalbard 

      Grundvåg, Sten-Andreas; Jelby, Mads Engholm; Olaussen, Snorre; Sliwinska, Kasia (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-13)
      The dominance of isotropic hummocky cross‐stratification, recording deposition solely by oscillatory flows, in many ancient storm‐dominated shoreface–shelf successions is enigmatic. Based on conventional sedimentological investigations, this study shows that storm deposits in three different and stratigraphically separated siliciclastic sediment wedges within the Lower Cretaceous succession in ...

      Thomassen, Ivar K.; Ghosh, Abhik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-06)
      UV–vis spectrophotometric titrations have been carried out on <i>meso</i>-tris(<i>o/m/p</i>-aminophenyl)corrole (H<sub>3</sub>[<i>o/m/p</i>-TAPC]) and meso-triphenylcorrole (H<sub>3</sub>[TPC]) in dimethyl sulfoxide with methanesulfonic acid (MSA). Monoprotonation was found to result in hyperporphyrin spectra characterized by new, red-shifted, and intense Q bands. The effect was particularly dramatic ...
    • Facile Supramolecular Engineering of Porphyrin cis Tautomers: The Case of β-Octabromo-meso-tetraarylporphyrins 

      Thomas, Kolle E.; Slebodnick, Carla; Ghosh, Abhik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-02)
      A porphyrin cis tautomer, where the two central NH protons are on adjacent pyrrole rings, has long been invoked as an intermediate in porphyrin tautomerism. Only recently, however, has such a species been isolated and structurally characterized. Thus, single-crystal X-ray structure determinations of two highly saddled free-base porphyrins, β-heptakis(trifluoromethyl)-meso-tetrakis(p-fluorophenyl)porphyrin, ...
    • Nature of the copper-nitrosyl intermediates of copper nitrite reductases during catalysis
