Undertegnede har en stund vært medlemmer av redaksjonsrådet («Editorial Board») i MDPI-tidsskriftet Publications. I forrige uke gikk redaktøren, viseredaktøren og drøyt to tredjedeler av redaksjonsrådet av samtidig med oss, eller i nær tilknytning til at vi gikk av.

The fiber structure of tissue in meat and seafood has a significant impact on their perceived quality. However, quantifiable description of muscle structure is challenging. We investigate diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a method to quantitatively describe tissue structure. DTI measures the anisotropy of water molecule diffusion within muscle fibers. A pilot study ...

<p><i>Background:</i> Although colonoscopy is widely used as a screening test to detect colorectal cancer, its effect on the risks of colorectal cancer and related death is unclear. <p><i>Methods:</i> We performed a pragmatic, randomized trial involving presumptively healthy men and women 55 to 64 years of age drawn from population registries in Poland, Norway, Sweden, and the Netherlands between ...

BACKGROUND: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, and chronic hypertension), diabetes mellitus, and placental dysfunction confer an increased risk of long-term maternal cardiovascular disease. Preeclampsia is also associated with acute atherosis that involves lesions of uteroplacental spiral arteries, resembling early stages of atherosclerosis. Serum amyloid ...

Akuttpsykiatriske enheter gir øyeblikkelig hjelp til pasienter med særlig vanskelige og kompliserte tilstander med behov utover det som kan ivaretas i kommunehelsetjenesten eller ved distriktspsykiatriske senter (DPS).<p> <p>Flere studier har de siste årene sett på antallet innleggelser og hyppigheten av tvangsbruk i akuttpsykiatriske enheter i Norge (Bjerke et al., 2019; Tøgersen et al., 2015; ...

On the mid-Norwegian margin, extensive rifting and subsequent deposition of thick Cretaceous and Cenozoic sediments have buried the traditional Upper Jurassic organic-rich shales too deep. Consequently, these organic-rich shales are overmature and spent in the deep basins on the mid-Norwegian margin. The absence of well-control, variable seismic quality and in particularly, the great burial depth, ...

ANNONSETEKST FRA SPOR-FESTIVALENS HJEMMESIDE På 1700-tallet reiste et følge ledet an av ungareren Maximilian Hell gjennom Trondheim på vei til Nord-Norge for å observere Venus-passasjen foran solskiven som skulle finne sted i 1769. Gjennomreisen ble feiret med latinske vers komponert av byens borgermester, Niels Krog Bredal, som siden skulle flytte til København som byens teaterdirektør. Bredal ...

A collisional gyro-fluid model is presented. The goal of the model is edge and scrape-off layer turbulence. The emphasize in the model derivation heavily lies on "implementability" with today's numerical methods. This translates to an avoidance of infinite sums, strongly coupled equations in time and intricate elliptic operator functions. The resulting model contains the four moments density, parallel ...
