The latest generation of coupled models, the sixth Coupled Models Intercomparison Project (CMIP6), is used to study the changes in the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in a warming climate. For the four future scenarios studied, the sea surface temperature variability increases in most CMIP6 models, but to varying degrees. This increase is linked to a weakening of the east‐west temperature gradient ...

The cognitive profile associated with schizophrenia has long been a research subject of interest. A plethora of studies have not only revealed cognitive deficits but also cognitive biases, meaning qualitative deviations in the way information is processed and evaluated. Such biases are for example reflected in findings of diminished metacognitive accuracy, or premature and disadvantageous decision-making. ...

<i>Purpose</i> - Low bone mineral density (BMD) is associated with increased risk of fractures and mortality. We investigated if rate of BMD loss in the distal forearm over seven years predicted mortality.<br><br> <i>Methods</i> - 1725 postmenopausal women and 1879 men aged 50–74 who participated in the longitudinal Tromsø Study waves 4 (1994–95) and 5 (2001−2002) were included. Cox regression ...

<i>Background</i> - Pediatric tuina is used to prevent and treat disease by employing various manipulative techniques on specific parts of the body, appropriate to the child’s specific physiological and pathological characteristics.<br><br> <i>Objective</i> - To evaluate the effects and safety of pediatric tuina as a non-pharmaceutical therapy for anorexia in children under 14 years.<br><br> ...

This paper discusses manoeuvring space and demonstrates how autonomy, power and discretion need to be understood as constructed and integrated behaviours where managers manoeuvre between dilemmas in their own management practices. Twenty-seven Norwegian police managers were shadowed and interviewed. We found that constructions of manoeuvring space presupposed that managers balanced dilemmas. We ...

Non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) is a major DNA repair pathway in mammalian cells that recognizes, processes and fixes DNA damage throughout the cell cycle and is specifically important for homeostasis of post-mitotic neurons and developing lymphocytes. Neuronal apoptosis increases in the mice lacking NHEJ factors Ku70 and Ku80. Inactivation of other NHEJ genes, either <i>Xrcc4</i> or <i>Lig4</i>, ...

The transportation of CO2 is important to all Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects. Both the infrastructure costs – compressors, pipelines, tanker ships, etc. – and the energy consumed in the compression or liquefaction of CO2 are significant. Understanding how the size, capacity and energy consumption of transportation alternatives varies between projects is therefore important. Modelling ...

The genomes of polyomaviruses are characterized by their tripartite organization with an early region, a late region and a noncoding control region (NCCR). The early region encodes proteins involved in replication and transcription of the viral genome, while expression of the late region generates the capsid proteins. Transcription regulatory sequences for expression of the early and late genes, as ...

Durkheims forhold til det moderne er preget av ambivalens. Han er kollektivist/holist når det gjelder sosiologiske forklaringer. Samfunnet er en egen realitet og en kraft som påvirker individenes tankeliv, følelser og motiver, om enn ikke i alle detaljer. Men selv om han er metodologisk kollektivist, er det ikke nødvendigvis slik at han også er kollektivist når det gjelder politiske og moralske ...

The global demand for the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA is increasing, and the traditional sources of these fatty acids, fish oils, are no longer able to sustain the demand. This shortage is mainly a result of the surging requirement of EPA and DHA as ingredients in fish feed for aquaculture, and as dietary supplements for human consumption. As a result, there is an increased interest ...
