    • Are rigid sorting devices necessary to control size selectivity in demersal trawl fisheries? 

      Herrmann, Bent; Bak-Jensen, Zita; Sistiaga, Manu; Brinkhof, Jesse Vallevik; Larsen, Roger Bertram; Grimaldo, Eduardo; Cerbule, Kristine; Kostak, Enis Noyan; Eighani, Morteza (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-27)
      Diamond mesh codends are the most common size selectivity devices in trawls for releasing bycatch and undersized individuals. However, codend selectivity can vary due to the flexibility of the netting meshes, making discrimination by size between retained and released fish difficult to control. In some trawl fisheries, rigid sorting devices have been introduced to make size selection more controlled ...
    • Investigating crosslinguistic representations in Polish-English bilingual children: Evidence from structural priming 

      Wesierska, Marta; Serratrice, Ludovica; Cieplinska, Vanessa; Messenger, Katherine (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-26)
      A key question in the study of language representation in bilinguals is whether knowledge is shared across languages. Crosslinguistic syntactic priming has been widely used to test bilingual adults’ shared representations, but studies with child bilinguals are few and have several limitations. We addressed these limitations in two studies with Polish–English bilingual children aged 5–11 years ...

      The study of intact phase II metabolites of endogenous anabolic androgenic steroids (EAAS) gives important information about metabolism and has the potential to improve the detection of doping with testosterone. For analysis with liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS), chemical derivatization at the steroid moiety is a technique to improve the positive ionization efficiency of glucuronida ...
    • Escaping the escape: a study among tourists' visiting Santa Cecilia in Trastevere 

      Smørvik, Kjersti Karijord (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-09-12)
      A number of tourists visit churches on their holiday without being religious or having any religious motivation. If religion is not important for the visit, what is then central to the tourist experience, and how do tourists describe their church visit? In this article, I examine tourists’ church visits and the meaning it gives. In a setting characterized through tourism and religion, and with ...
    • Multisensory Food Experiences in Northern Norway: An Exploratory Study 

      Tran, Huy; Veflen, Nina; Jørgensen, Eva Jenny Benedikte; Velasco, Carlos (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-07-08)
      Intrinsic and extrinsic sensory elements influence our food experiences. However, most research on extrinsic multisensory aspects of food has centered on WEIRD (White, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic) urban participants. This study breaks from this trend by investigating multisensory food experiences in the context of Northern Norway, a region characterized by distinct seasonal ...
    • To mine or not to mine the deep seabed?: The relative influence of competing NGO views in defining “serious harm” to the marine environment 

      Hvinden, Ida Soltvedt (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-24)
      Several studies have noted that the International Seabed Authority (ISA) scores low on public participation. However, none have studied the efforts of non-governmental organizations to exert influence on the ISA’s rulemaking processes. I examine how environmental NGOs and private mining contractors attempt to sway one narrow, but existential, part of the ISA’s draft exploitation regulations between ...

      Ben-Arye, Eran; Samuels, Noah; Seifert, Georg; Gressel, Orit; Peleg, Raviv; Jong, Miek C. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-11)
      Purpose of the review Children and adolescents with cancer, along with their parents and other informal caregivers, often report using complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) during active oncology and hemato-oncology treatment. Some adopt an “alternative” approach to conventional medical care, which often entails the use of these practices without the knowledge of the treating pediatrician. ...
    • Plasma tryptophan pathway metabolites quantified by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry as biomarkers in neuroendocrine tumor patients 

      Johansen, Silje Udjus; Hansen, Terkel; Nordborg, Anna; Meyer, Renate Weenås; Goll, Rasmus; Florholmen, Jon; Jensen, Einar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-15)
      A good and accessible biomarker is of great clinical value in neuroendocrine tumor (NET) patients, especially considering its frequently indolent nature and long-term follow-up. Plasma chromogranin A (CgA) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) are currently used as biomarkers in NET, but their sensitivity and specificity are restricted. 5-HIAA is the main metabolite of serotonin, an important ...

      Rapid three-dimensional imaging over extended fields of views (FOVs) is crucial to the study of organism-wide systems and biological processes in vivo. Selective-plane illumination microscopy (SPIM) is a powerful method for high spatio-temporal resolution in toto imaging of such biological specimens. However, typical SPIM implementations preclude conventional sample mounting and have anisotropic ...
    • Martingale Hardy Spaces and Some New Weighted Maximal Operators of Fejér Means of Walsh–Fourier Series 

      Baramidze, Davit; Blahota, István; Tephnadze, George; Toledo, Rodolfo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-19)
      In this paper, we introduce some new weighted maximal operators of the Fejér means of the Walsh–Fourier series. We prove that for some “optimal” weights, these new operators indeed are bounded from the martingale Hardy space H<sub>p</sub>(G)to the Lebesgue space L<sub>p</sub>(G), for 0 < p < 1/2. Moreover, we also prove sharpness of this result. As a consequence, we obtain some new and well-known ...
    • On the degree of varieties of sum of squares 

      Ferguson, Andrew; Ottaviani, Giorgio; Safey el Din, Mohab; Teixeira Turatti, Ettore (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-10)
      We study the problem of how many different sum of squares decompositions a general polynomial <i>f</i> with SOS-rank <i>k</i> admits. We show that there is a link between the variety SOS<sub><i>k</sub></i>(<i>f</i>) of all SOS-decompositions of <i>f</i> and the orthogonal group O(<i>k</i>). We exploit this connection to obtain the dimension of SOS<sub><i>k</sub></i>(<i>f</i>) and show that its degree ...
    • Arctic Freeboard and Snow Depth From Near-Coincident CryoSat-2 and ICESat-2 (CRYO2ICE) Observations: A First Examination of Winter Sea Ice During 2020–2022 

      Hansen, Renee Mie Fredensborg; Skourup, Henriette; Rinne, Eero; Høyland, Knut Vilhelm; Landy, Jack Christopher; Merkouriadi, Ioanna; Forsberg, René (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-18)
      In the summer of 2020, ESA changed the orbit of CryoSat-2 to align periodically with NASA's ICESat-2 mission, a campaign known as CRYO2ICE, which allows for near-coincident CryoSat-2 and ICESat-2 observations in space and time over the Arctic until summer 2022, where the CRYO2ICE Antarctic campaign was initiated. This study investigates the Arctic CRYO2ICE radar and laser freeboards acquired by ...

      Despite recent advances in prevention, detection and treatment, oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains a global health concern, strongly associated with environmental and lifestyle risk factors and infection with oncogenic viruses. Merkel Cell Polyomavirus (MCPyV), well known to be the causative agent of Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC) has been found in OSCC, suggesting its potential role as a ...
    • The span of singular tuples of a tensor beyond the boundary format 

      Sodomaco, Luca; Teixeira Turatti, Ettore (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-10)
      A singular <i>k</i>-tuple of a tensor T of format (<i>n<sub>1</sub></i>, ..., <i>n</i><sub><i><k></i></sub>) is essentially a complex critical point of the distance function from <i>T</i> constrained to the cone of tensors of format (<i>n</i><sub>1</sub>, ..., <i>n<sub>k</sub></i>) of rank at most one. A generic tensor has finitely many complex singular <i>k</i>-tuples, and their number depends only ...
