    • Detection of Merkel Cell Polyomavirus (MCPyV) DNA and Transcripts in Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC) 

      Passerini, Sara; Prezioso, Carla; Babini, Giulia; Ferlosio, Amedeo; Cosio, Terenzio; Campione, Elena; Moens, Ugo; Ciotti, Marco; Pietropaolo, Valeria (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-29)
      Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is the etiological agent of the majority of Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC): a rare skin tumor. To improve our understanding of the role of MCPyV in MCCs, the detection and analysis of MCPyV DNA and transcripts were performed on primary tumors and regional lymph nodes from two MCC patients: one metastatic and one non-metastatic. MCPyV-DNA was searched by a quantitative ...

    • Mge-cluster: a reference-free approach for typing bacterial plasmids 

      Alonso, Sergio Arredondo; Gladstone, Rebecca Ashley; Pöntinen, Anna Kaarina; Gama, João Alves; Schürch, Anita C.; Lanza, Val F.; Johnsen, Pål Jarle; Samuelsen, Ørjan; Tonkin-Hill, Gerry; Corander, Jukka (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-10)
      Extrachromosomal elements of bacterial cells such as plasmids are notorious for their importance in evolution and adaptation to changing ecology. However, high-resolution population-wide analysis of plasmids has only become accessible recently with the advent of scalable long-read sequencing technology. Current typing methods for the classification of plasmids remain limited in their scope which ...

    • Accurate microRNA annotation of animal genomes using trained covariance models of curated microRNA complements in MirMachine 

      Umu, Sinan Ugur; Paynter, Vanessa Molin; Trondsen, Håvard; Buschmann, Tilo; Rounge, Trine Ballestad; Peterson, Kevin J.; Fromm, Bastian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-23)
      The annotation of microRNAs depends on the availability of transcriptomics data and expert knowledge. This has led to a gap between the availability of novel genomes and high-quality microRNA complements. Using >16,000 microRNAs from the manually curated microRNA gene database MirGeneDB, we generated trained covariance models for all conserved microRNA families. These models are available in our ...

    • Sakpoesi. En linje i nyere norsk litteratur 

      Wærp, Henning Howlid (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-29)
      At romaner og skuespill kan ha dokumentariske tendenser er allment kjent, men hva med dikt? Mange forbinder lyrikk med sansning eller følelse framfor analyse, tenkning eller sak. Med utgangspunkt i diktsamlinger av Rune Tuverud, Markus Midré, Espen Stueland og andre diskuteres «sakpoesien», slik den har vokst fram i norsk litteratur fra 1990-tallet og framover. Hva er forholdet mellom det estetiske ...

During heart catheterization, ...

    • Science goals for a high-frequency radar and radio imaging array 

      Isham, Brett Cameron; Bullett, Terence; Gustavsson, Björn Johan; Polisensky, Emil; Brum, Christiano; Fallen, Christopher; Belyey, Vasyl; Parra-Rojas, Francisco; Norouzi, Leila; Stramkals, Arturs; Ökten, Mehmet Baran (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-01)
      A medium and high-frequency antenna array for radar and radio imaging of the ionosphere is planned for installation in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. Science goals include the study of space weather, radio propagation, meteors, lightning, and plasma physics. Radio imaging is ideal for the study of stimulated ionospheric radio emissions, such as those induced by the Arecibo Observatory high-power HF radio ...

    • Can China change the Arctic regime? 

      Kobzeva, Mariia; Todorov, Andrey (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-18)
      China’s role in the Arctic regime remains a debatable topic in the expert discourse on the High North. Currently, in view of the aggravated conflicts in other regions that include Russia as the largest Arctic state, and China as its strategic partner, the Arctic regimes are experiencing salient disturbances. Against this backdrop, an understanding of China’s opportunities to affect Arctic affairs ...

    • Discovery of a new marker to identify myeloid cells associated with metastatic breast tumours 

      Bokil, Ansooya Avinash; Børkja, Mathieu; Wolowczyk, Camilla Izabel; Lamsal, Apsana; Prestvik, Wenche S.; Nonstad, Unni; Pettersen, Kristine; Andersen, Sonja Benedikte; Bofin, Anna M.; Bjørkøy, Geir; Hak, Sjoerd; Giambelluca, Miriam Soledad (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-18)
      Background: Myeloid cells play an essential role in cancer metastasis. The phenotypic diversity of these cells during cancer development has attracted great interest; however, their functional heterogeneity and plasticity have limited their role as prognostic markers and therapeutic targets. <p><p>Methods: To identify markers associated with myeloid cells in metastatic tumours, we compared transcriptomic ...

    • A finite volume flux coordinate independent approach 

      Wiesenberger, Matthias; Held, Markus (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-03)
      We present a novel family of schemes as the merging between a one-dimensional advection scheme with the flux coordinate independent approach. The scheme can be used to discretize the field-aligned NavierStokes equations in three dimensions. Our approach consists of three major steps: (i) the formulation of the one-dimensional scheme in a locally field-aligned coordinate system, (ii) a numerical ...

    • Coordinate Conversion and Switching Correction to Reduce Vessel Heading-Related Errors in High-Latitude Navigation 

      Wang, Yufei; Perera, Lokukaluge Prasad Channa; Batalden, Bjørn-Morten Erdal (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-22)
      Considering the distortion errors of projected coordinates and the switching property of vessel heading, coordinate conversion and switching correction methods are proposed to modify a kinematic motion model and the Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF). The coordinate conversion method utilizes the grid convergence from a Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection to correct the vessel heading. The ...

    • Tanning Wastewater Sterilization in the Dark and Sunlight Using Psidium guajava Leaf-Derived Copper Oxide Nanoparticles and Their Characteristics 

      Lakshmaiya, Natrayan; Surakasi, Raviteja; Nadh, V. Swamy; Srinivas, Chidurala; Kaliappan, Seniappan; Ganesan, Velmurugan; Paramasivam, Prabhu; Dhanasekaran, Seshathiri (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-09)
      Employing Psidium guajava (P. guajava) extract from leaves, copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs), likewise referred to as cupric oxide and renowned for their sustainable and harmless biogenesis, have the possibility of being useful for the purification of pollutants as well as for medicinal purposes. The current study examined the generated CuO NPs and their physical qualities by using ultraviolet−visible ...

      Solberg, Monica; Berg, Geir Vegar; Andreassen, Hege Kristin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-07)
      Background: The Norwegian health authorities introduced standardized cancer patient pathways (CPPs) in 2015, aiming to reduce practice variations across hospitals and regions, and improve the continuity, coordination and overall quality of the health care service provided to cancer patients. There has been few studies investigating this change, and that have looked into the organisational and economic ...
