Light spectral quality is known to affect flavonoid biosynthesis during fruit ripening. However, the response of fruits to different light conditions, when ripening autonomously from the parent plant (detached), has been less explored. In this study, we analyzed the effect of light quality on detached and naturally ripening (attached) non-climacteric wild bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) fruits ...

This paper discusses the impact of new media on local politics and politicians in a highly digitalised and advanced democracy.

This initiative originates from the workshop entitled “Towards exploring the idea of establishing the Network”. The paper was created in close connection with ...

We investigated the role of age and gender in cognitive estimation abilities. Participants completed two online tasks, where diȞferent categories of estimation were assessed (speed estimation by time and distance, and auditory estimation). Data from a total of 18886 participants (9911 females) with ages between 18 and 65 years old were gathered. Results showed variations in the estimation ...

Målet for oppgaven har vært å bidra til økt forståelse av hvordan mellomledere ...

Several foraminifera are deposit feeders that consume organic detritus (dead particulate organic material with entrained bacteria). However, the role of such foraminifera in the benthic food web remains understudied. Foraminifera feeding on methanotrophic bacteria, which are 13C-depleted, may cause negative cytoplasmic and/or calcitic δ13C values. To test whether the foraminiferal diet includes ...
