    • Operationalising Critical Infrastructure Resilience. From Assessment to Management 

      Rød, Bjarte (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2020-09-03)
      Over recent decades, it has been evident that society relies heavily on critical infrastructures (CIs) to provide and maintain vital societal functions, such as water, electricity and transportation. Traditionally, in order to ensure the delivery of such functions, the focus has been on protecting the infrastructures’ systems from adverse and extreme events. However, large-scale events, such as ...

      Randine, Pietro; Micucci, Daniela; Hartvigsen, Gunnar; Årsand, Eirik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Patients with diabetes are often worried about having low blood glucose because of the unpleasant feeling and possible dangerous situations this can lead to. This can make patients consume more carbohydrates than necessary. Ad-hoc carbohydrate estimation and dosing by the patients can be unreliable and may produce unwanted periods of high blood glucose. In this paper we present a system that ...

    • New information on the Ediacaran-Cambrian transition in the Vestertana Group, Finnmark, northern Norway, from trace fossils and organic-walled microfossils 

      Högström, Anette; Jensen, Sören; Palacios, Teodoro; Ebbestad, Jan Ove R. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      The Vestertana Group on the Digermul Peninsula, Finnmark, northern Norway, presents one of the few, potentially continuous Ediacaran– Cambrian sections in Scandinavia. Trace fossils provide the main age constraint, with the boundary traditionally placed at the base of the Breidvika Formation. Here, we provide trace-fossil evidence to show that this boundary is at least as low as the third cycle of ...

    • Weak rTMS-induced electric fields produce neural entrainment in humans 

      Zmeykina, E; Mittner, Matthias; Paulus, Walter; Turi, Zsolt (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-20)
      Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a potent tool for modulating endogenous oscillations in humans. The current standard method for rTMS defines the stimulation intensity based on the evoked liminal response in the visual or motor system (e.g., resting motor threshold). The key limitation of the current approach is that the magnitude of the resulting electric field remains elusive. ...

    • Theta-gamma cross-frequency transcranial alternating current stimulation over the trough impairs cognitive control 

      Turi, Zsolt; Mittner, Matthias; Lehr, Albert; Bürger, H; Antal, Andrea; Paulus, Walter (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-15)
      Cognitive control is a mental process, which underlies adaptive goal-directed decisions. Previous studies have linked cognitive control to electrophysiological fluctuations in the theta band and theta-gamma cross-frequency coupling (CFC) arising from the cingulate and frontal cortices. Yet, to date the behavioral consequences of different forms of theta-gamma CFC remain elusive. Here, we studied the ...

    • Leukemia Stem Cell Release From the Stem Cell Niche to Treat Acute Myeloid Leukemia 

      Villatoro, Alicia; Konieczny, Joanna; Cuminetti, Vincent; Arranz, Lorena (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-09)
      Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous, complex, and deadly disease, whose treatment has hardly evolved for decades and grounds on the use of intensive chemotherapy regimens. Chemotherapy helps reduce AML bulk, but promotes relapse in the long-run by selection of chemoresistant leukemia stem cells (LSC). These may diversify and result in progression to more aggressive forms of AML. <i>In ...
