    • Quorum Sensing Controls the CRISPR and Type VI Secretion Systems in Aliivibrio wodanis 06/09/139 

      Maharajan, Amudha Deepalakshmi; Hjerde, Erik; Hansen, Hilde; Willassen, Nils P (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-22)
      For bacteria to thrive in an environment with competitors, phages and environmental cues, they use different strategies, including Type VI Secretion Systems (T6SSs) and Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) to compete for space. Bacteria often use quorum sensing (QS), to coordinate their behavior as the cell density increases. Like other aliivibrios, Aliivibrio wodanis ...

    • The importance of turbulent ocean–sea ice nutrient exchanges for simulation of ice algal biomass and production with CICE6.1 and Icepack 1.2 

      Duarte, Pedro; Assmy, Philip; Campbell, Karley; Sundfjord, Arild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-31)
      Different sea ice models apply unique approaches in the computation of nutrient diffusion between the ocean and the ice bottom, which are generally decoupled from the calculation of turbulent heat flux. A simple molecular diffusion formulation is often used. We argue that nutrient transfer from the ocean to sea ice should be as consistent as possible with heat transfer, since all of these fluxes ...

      Orton, David; Makowiecki, Daniel; de Roo, Tessa; Johnstone, Cluny; Harland, Jennifer; Jonsson, Leif; Heinrich, Dirk; Enghoff, Inge Bødker; Lougas, Lembi; Van Neer, Wim; Ervynck, Anton; Hufthammer, Anne Karin; Amundsen, Colin; Jones, Andrew K. G.; Locker, Alison; Hamilton-Dyer, Sheila; Pope, Peter; MacKenzie, Brian R.; Richards, Michael; O'Connell, Tamsin C.; Barrett, James H (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011-11-16)
      Although recent historical ecology studies have extended quantitative knowledge of eastern Baltic cod (Gadus morhua) exploitation back as far as the 16th century, the historical origin of the modern fishery remains obscure. Widespread archaeological evidence for cod consumption around the eastern Baltic littoral emerges around the 13th century, three centuries before systematic documentation, but ...
    • At the source of the polarisation of auroral emissions: experiments and modeling 

      Bosse, Léo; Lilensten, Jean; Gillet, Nicolas; Brogniez, Colette; Pujol, Olivier; Rochat, Sylvain; Delboulbé, Alain; Curaba, Stephane; Johnsen, Magnar Gullikstad (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-01)
      A polarised radiative transfer model (POMEROL) has been developed to compute the polarisation measured by a virtual instrument in a given nocturnal environment. This single-scattering model recreates real-world conditions (among them atmospheric and aerosol profiles, light sources with complex geometries at the ground and in the sky, terrain obstructions). It has been successfully tested at mid-latitudes ...
    • Gibbosporina revisited: new records from Fiji, Indonesia, New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea, and Queensland, with one species from the Solomon Islands transferred to Pannaria.

    • Shelf/fjord exchange driven by coastal-trapped waves in the Arctic 

      Inall, Mark E.; Nilsen, Frank; Cottier, Finlo Robert; Daae, Ragnhild Lundmark (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-23)
      In this article, we show that the class of low frequency (subinertial) waves known as coastal-trapped waves (CTWs) are a significant agent of water volume exchange in a west Svalbard fjord, and by extension more widely along the west Svalbard and east Greenland margins where similar conditions prevail. We show that CTWs generated by weather systems passing across the sloping topography of the shelf ...
