This base would serve as the home of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic expedition. The idea of a Norwegian-British-Swedish expedition was conceived during the Second World War by ...

    • Mechanistic Insights into Copper-Catalyzed Carboxylations 

      Obst, Marc; Gevorgyan, Ashot; Bayer, Annette; Hopmann, Kathrin Helen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-02)
      The copper-NHC-catalyzed carboxylation of organoboranes with CO<sub>2</sub> was investigated using computational and experimental methods. The DFT and DLPNO-CCSD(T) results indicate that nonbenzylic substrates are converted via an inner-sphere carboxylation of an organocopper intermediate, whereas benzylic substrates may simultaneously proceed along both inner- and outer-sphere CO<sub>2</sub> insertion ...

    • Rethinking long-term condition management: An actor-level framework 

      Vågan, Andre; Olsson, Ann Britt Sandvin; Arntzen, Cathrine; Rise, Marit By; Grue, Jan; Haugland, Trude; Langeland, Eva; Stenberg, Una; Solvang, Per Koren (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-26)
      To understand the complexities of managing long-term conditions and develop appropriate responses, micro-, meso- and macrolevels must be considered. However, these levels have not been combined in a single analytical framework of long-term condition management (LTCM). This article aims to describe a framework of LTCM practice and research that combines societal levels and key agents. The actor-level ...

    • A rapid, sensitive, and specific assay to measure TF activity based on chromogenic determination of thrombin generation 

      Østerud, Bjarne; Latysheva, Nadezhda; Schoergenhofer, Christian; Jilma, Bernd; Hansen, John-Bjarne; Snir, Omri (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-25)
      Background - Most tissue factor (TF) activity assays are based on measurement of factor X (FX) activation by TF in the presence of factor VII (FVII)/FVIIa. This requires long incubation, which may result in TF-independent activity of FX and inaccurate measurement of TF activity.<p> <p>Aim - To develop a sensitive and specific TF activity assay, which does not register a non-specific TF activity, ...

      Rautalin, Ilari; Kaprio, Jaakko; Ingebrigtsen, Tor; Jousilahti, Pekka; Løchen, Maja-Lisa; Romundstad, Pål Richard; Salomaa, Veikko; Vik, Anne; Wilsgaard, Tom; Mathiesen, Ellisiv B.; Sandvei, Marie Søfteland; Korja, Miikka (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-10)
      Background and purpose: Several population-based cohort studies have related higher body mass index (BMI) to a decreased risk of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The main objective of our study was to investigate whether the previously reported inverse association can be explained by modifying effects of the most important risk factors of SAH—smoking and hypertension.<p> <p>Methods: We conducted ...

    • Make it simpler and better: T90 codend improves size selectivity and catch efficiency compared with the grid-and-diamond mesh codend in the Northeast Atlantic bottom trawl fishery for gadoids 

      Brinkhof, Jesse; Larsen, Roger B.; Herrmann, Bent (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-08)
      The use of a sorting grid followed by a size-selective codend with minimum 130 mm mesh size is compulsory in the Northeast Atlantic demersal trawl fishery targeting cod (Gadus morhua), haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus), and saithe (Polachius virens). However, sorting grids cause some disadvantages, which possibly can be solved by removing the grid and improving codend selectivity, thus making the ...
