In modern environments, pore water geochemistry and modelling simulations allow the study of methane (CH₄) sources and sinks at any geographic location. However, reconstructing CH₄ dynamics in geological records is challenging. Here, we show that the benthic foraminiferal δ³⁴S can be used to reconstruct the fux (i.e., difusive vs. advective) and timing of CH₄ ...

Tidligere Bryne videregående skole (vgs.) og Time vgs. ble i 2015 slått sammen til nye Bryne vgs. I den anledning ble det bygget tre nye skolebygg med et moderne og komplekst energisystem. Skolen er et pilotprosjekt i tråd med Rogaland fylkeskommune sin miljøpolitikk og er bygget med fokus på bærekraftige prinsipper, lavt energiforbruk og bruk av energikilder med begrenset CO2 utslipp. Skolens varme ...

The need for energy increases globally due to rapid expansion of population and prosperity. To meet this demand while decreasing carbon emission and eventually transition out fossil fuel, efficient utilization of wind power is prominent. This study evaluates the performance of the Weather Research and Forecast model (WRF) with respect to wind speed and wind direction. The area of the study is ...

Change detection in earth observation remote sensing images can be used to describe the extent of natural disasters, e.g., forest fires and floods. When time is of the essence, the ability to utilize heterogeneous images is fundamental, i.e., images that are not directly comparable due to the sensors used or the capturing conditions. The recent advances in machine learning have dispersed into the ...

Ribosome assembly occurs mainly in the nucleolus, yet recent studies have revealed robust enrichment and translation of mRNAs encoding many ribosomal proteins (RPs) in axons, far away from neuronal cell bodies. Here, we report a physical and functional interaction between locally synthesized RPs and ribosomes in the axon. We show that axonal RP translation is regulated through a sequence motif, ...

Semen quality assessed by sperm count and sperm cell characteristics such as morphology and motility, is considered to be the main determinant of men’s reproductive health. Therefore, sperm cell selection is vital in assisted reproductive technology (ART) used for the treatment of infertility. Conventional bright field optical microscopy is widely utilized for the imaging and selection of sperm cells ...

Noisy labeled data represent a rich source of information that often are easily accessible and cheap to obtain, but label noise might also have many negative consequences if not accounted for. How to fully utilize noisy labels has been studied extensively within the framework of standard supervised machine learning over a period of several decades. However, very little research has been conducted ...

The crystal structure of haemoglobin from Atlantic cod has been solved to 2.54 A˚ resolution. The structure consists of two tetramers in the crystallographic asymmetric unit. The structure of haemoglobin obtained from one individual cod suggests polymorphism in the tetrameric assembly.

Large amounts of methane are trapped within gas hydrate in subseabed sediments in the Arctic Ocean, and bottom-water warming may induce the release of methane from the seafloor. Yet the effect of seasonal temperature variations on methane seepage activity remains unknown as surveys in Arctic seas are conducted mainly in summer. Here we compare the activity of cold seeps along the gas hydrate stability ...
