The marine CO₂ system in Tempelfjorden (Svalbard) was investigated between August 2015 and December 2017 using total alkalinity, pH, temperature, salinity, oxygen isotopic ratio, and nutrient data. Primary production resulted in the largest changes that were observed in the partial pressure of CO₂ (<i>p</i>CO₂, 140 μatm) and the saturation state of aragonite ...

Den nylig utgitte Nasjonal helse- og sykehusplan 2020-2023 (Meld. St. 7 (2019-2020)) gir retning og rammer for utvikling av spesialisthelsetjenesten og samarbeidet med den kommunale helse- og omsorgstjenesten de neste fire årene. Brukermedvirkning, likeverdighet og forutsigbarhet er viktige prinsipper som fremheves i planen og som vi som helsepersonell skal strebe etter å innfri. Hvordan kan vi ...

Frenulate species were identified from a high Arctic methane seep area on Vestnesa Ridge, western Svalbard margin (79°N, Fram Strait) based on mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (mtCOI). Two species were found: <i>Oligobrachia haakonmosbiensis</i>, and a new, distinct, and undescribed <i>Oligobrachia</i> species. The new species adds to the cryptic <i>Oligobrachia</i> species complex found ...

The liver is constantly exposed to dietary antigens, viruses, and bacterial products with inflammatory potential. For decades cellular uptake of virus has been studied in connection with infection, while the few studies designed to look into clearance mechanisms focused mainly on the role of macrophages. In recent years, attention has been directed towards the liver sinusoidal endothelial cells ...

This thesis proposes a novel approach to explore and extract context information attached with images, mainly gathered from social network sites. I first performed a user study, to understand the user behavior on social network sites. I inferred that the relationship among users have central importance.<p> <p>To assist users to annotate images in social network, I use existing metadata gathered ...

The aim of this study was to examine (a) the development of vocabulary and grammar in children with family-risk (FR) of dyslexia and their peers with no such risk (NoFR) between ages 1;6 and 6;0, and (b) whether FR-status exerted an effect on the direction of temporal relationships between these two constructs. Groups were assessed at seven time-points using standardised tests and parental reports. ...

This article highlights how deaf, hard-of-hearing and hearing people in Norway have an ability for visual languaging, building new relations, making new social order, handling the pressure of phonocentricity, establishing a peer group, and performing their visual identity in multiple ways. In a cross-field analysis of linguistics, medicine and anthropology, we explore how young people succeed in ...

<i>Importance</i> - Soft drinks are frequently consumed, but whether this consumption is associated with mortality risk is unknown and has been understudied in European populations to date.<p><p> <i>Objective</i> - To examine the association between total, sugar-sweetened, and artificially sweetened soft drink consumption and subsequent total and cause-specific mortality.<p><p> <i>Design, ...

Vertically aligned graphene nanosheet arrays (VAGNAs) exhibit large surface area, excellent electron transport properties, outstanding mechanical strength, high chemical stability, and enhanced electrochemical activity, which makes them highly promising for application in supercapacitors, batteries, fuel cell catalysts, etc. It is shown that VAGNAs terminated with a high-quality single-layer graphene ...

To optimize the aerodynamic performance and reduce production losses of wind turbine operating in icing conditions, it is necessary to better understand the ice accretion physics along wind turbine blade. This paper describes a case study of ice accretion physics and its effects on aerodynamic performance of S826 and S832 airfoils for dry and wet ice conditions. Both these airfoils have different ...
