We develop a semiautomated method for extracting faults and other planar features from two high-resolution (HR) seismic volumes in the eastern Fram Strait. We assess seismic data quality and resolution prior to structural interpretation to determine the appropriate processing workflow. This workflow, designed for HR data sets, identifies meter-scale (>3–4 m) faults and other planar features, picked ...

Sleep and language are fundamental to human existence and have both been shown to substantially affect cognitive functioning including memory, attentional performance, and cognitive control. Surprisingly, there is little-to-no research that examines the shared impact of bilingualism and sleep on cognitive functions. In this paper, we provide a general overview of existing research on the ...

Tapeworms of the genus Proteocephalus Weinland, 1858 (Cestoda: Proteocephalidae) are common and widespread intestinal parasites of whitefish (Coregonus spp., Salmonidae: Coregoninae). Previous taxonomic studies, based solely on morphology and inconsistently fixed specimens, concluded that all salmoniform fish, including whitefish, are parasitised by a single euryxenous and highly polymorphic ...

Common sole (Solea solea) is an economically important species in several European trawl fisheries, yet little is known about the size selective properties of codends used in bottom trawl fisheries targeting sole. This study presents results from a sea trial conducted in the inner Danish waters where common sole is fished in a seasonal trawl fishery using a 90 mm diamond mesh codend with a mandatory ...

Zooplankton are keystone organisms that provide a critical link between primary production and higher-order predators in the marine food web, as well as facilitating the sequestration of carbon within the ocean. In this context, there is considerable interest in the detection of zooplankton swarms from satellite ocean color signals. However, for this to be possible, accurate inherent optical ...

How do online students manage to balance studies, jobs, and private life – and yet succeed with their studies? Online studies typically attract students in jobs who seek to formalize their competence. Based on qualitative research design, this article sheds light on the academic learning of online students who attend a full-time program. Our focus narrows down to the inaugural class of online ...

Aims: Reproductive history conveys information about potential health risks later in adulthood. This study aimed to examine the validity of self-reported number of pregnancies and maternal age at first birth (AFB) among females attending BreastScreen Norway.<p> <p>Methods: Participants were identified through the Janus Serum Bank cohort in Norway and were eligible for this cross-sectional validation ...

Siden 2007 har vanndirektivet vært en del av de miljørettslige rammene for norsk forvaltning. Direktivet, som er gjennomført i norsk rett ved vannforskriften, forbyr forringelse av vannkvaliteten i kystvann, noe som har konsekvenser for næringsaktiviteter. Det er strenge unntaksvilkår fra forbudet. Norske myndigheters ambisjoner om og tilrettelegging for vekst i akvakultur og øvrige blå næringer i ...

Background - Despite demands to make higher education more relevant beyond academia, and a growing body of work testifying to the benefits of work-relevance programs (e.g., work-placements, or internships) for both students and the companies that host them, there is limited information available for those aiming to optimize these programs. For example, few have explored the challenges and needs of ...

Transition metal complexes (TMCs) play a key role in several areas of high interest, including medicinal chemistry, renewable energies, and nanoporous materials. The development of TMCs enabling these technologies remains challenged by the need to optimize multiple properties within very large chemical spaces, in which the thirty transition metals can be combined with a virtually infinite number of ...
