Distribution of rorquals and Atlantic cod in relation to their prey in the Norwegian high Arctic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-14)Recent warming in the Barents Sea has led to changes in the spatial distribution of both zooplankton and fish, with boreal communities expanding northwards. A similar northward expansion has been observed in several rorqual species that migrate into northern waters to take advantage of high summer productivity, hence feeding opportunities. Based on ecosystem surveys conducted during August–September ... -
Bycatch reduction in the deep-water shrimp (Pandalus borealis) trawl fishery with a large mesh top panel
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-08)In the Northeast Atlantic deep-water shrimp (Pandalus borealis) trawl fishery, the bycatch of juvenile fish and shrimp represents a problem. This study evaluated if inserting a 200 mm mesh size top-panel in the last three sections of the tapered upper belly section of the trawl could reduce bycatch of juveniles while maintaining the catch efficiency for deep-water shrimp. The bycatch species ... -
Symmetric ideals, Specht polynomials and solutions to symmetric systems of equations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-18)An ideal of polynomials is symmetric if it is closed under permutations of variables. We relate general symmetric ideals to the so called Specht ideals generated by all Specht polynomials of a given shape. We show a connection between the leading monomials of polynomials in the ideal and the Specht polynomials contained in the ideal. This provides applications in several contexts. Most notably, this ... -
Extending the usefulness of the verbal memory test: The promise of machine learning
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-19)The evaluation of verbal memory is a core component of neuropsychological assessment in a wide range of clinical and research settings. Leveraging story recall to assay neurocognitive function could be made more useful if it were possible to administer frequently (i.e., would allow for the collection of more patient data over time) and automatically assess the recalls with machine learning methods. ... -

Electron Bulk Heating at Saturn’s Magnetopause
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-25)Magnetic reconnection at the magnetopause (MP) energizes ambient plasma via the release of magnetic energy and produces an “open” magnetosphere allowing solar wind particles to directly enter the system. At Saturn, the nature of MP reconnection remains unclear. The current study examines electron bulk heating at MP crossings, in order to probe the relationship between observed and predicted reconnection ... -
