    • Homogenization of nonlocal spectral problems 

      Piatnitski, Andrei; Rybalko, Volodymyr (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-11-11)
      We consider a spectral problem for convolution-type operators in environments with locally periodic microstructure and study the asymptotic behavior of the bottom of the spectrum. We show that the bottom point of the spectrum converges as the microstructure period tends to zero, and identify the limit in terms of an additive eigenvalue problem for effective Hamilton–Jacobi equation. In the periodic ...

    • Norske navn på alle karplantefamilier og -ordener 

      Bjorå, Charlotte Sletten; Alm, Torbjørn; Bødker, Kine Hals; Nygård, Malene Østreng; Scheen, Anne-Cathrine; Smedmark, Jenny Else Elisabeth; Westergaard, Kristine Bakke (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Over time, Norwegian vernacular names have been coined for all vascular plant species, genera, families and orders represented in Norway. Imported, economically important species (used as food, medicine etc.) have also frequently acquired Norwegian names. This still leaves numerous exotic plant families and plant orders without a Norwegian name, albeit sometimes requested e.g. by translators. ...

These unique factors provide a ...
    • Contrasting two major Arctic coastal polynyas: the role of sea ice in driving diel vertical migrations of zooplankton in the Laptev and Beaufort seas 

      Dmitrenko, Igor A.; Petrusevich, Vladislav; Preußer, Andreas; Kosobokova, Ksenia; Bouchard, Caroline; Geoffroy, Maxime; Komarov, Alexander S.; Babb, David G.; Kirillov, Sergei A.; Barber, David G. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-12-17)
      The diel vertical migration (DVM) of zooplankton is one of the largest species migrations to occur globally and is a key driver of regional ecosystems and the marine carbon pump. Previously thought to be hampered by the extreme light regime prevailing in the Arctic Ocean, observations have revealed that DVM does occur in ice-covered Arctic waters and suggest the decline in Arctic sea ice may thereby ...
