Retrievals of sea ice drift from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images at high spatial resolution are valuable for understanding kinematic behavior and deformation processes of the ice at different spatial scales. Ice deformation causes temporal changes in patterns observed in sequences of SAR images; which makes it difficult to retrieve ice displacement with algorithms based on correlation and ...

I denne studien utforsket vi et utvalg «Min undervisningsfilosofi»-tekster for å søke svar på hva vitenskapelig ansatte trekker frem når de reflekterer over egen undervisning. Arbeidet tok utgangspunkt i idéen om at for å utvikle og øke kvaliteten på sin undervisning er det nødvendig at vitenskapelig ansatte for det første tilegner seg teoretisk kunnskap om undervisning og læring (Handal, 2006), ...

This paper shows initial results from estimating Doppler radial surface velocities (RVLs) over Arctic sea ice using the Sentinel-1A (S1A) satellite. Our study presents the first quantitative comparison between ice drift derived from the Doppler shifts and drift derived using time-series methods over comparable time scales. We compare the Doppler-derived ice velocities with global positioning system ...

Background: <br>The zoonotic Orf virus (ORFV; genus Parapoxvirus, Poxviridae family) occurs worldwide and is transmit‑ted between sheep and goats, wildlife and man. Archived tissue samples from 16 Alaskan wildlife cases, representing mountain goat (Oreamnos americanus, n= 8), Dall’s sheep (Ovis dalli dalli, n= 3), muskox (Ovibos moschatus, n= 3), Sitka black‑tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus sitkensis, ...

Introduction:<br> Women with bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder often suffer for many years before they seek professional help. Evidence-based treatments like cognitive–behavioural therapy (CBT) might be poorly accessible, and about 50% of those who receive CBT respond to it. Such outcome may reflect the heterogeneous nature of eating disorders, and addressing this heterogeneity calls ...

The SW Barents Sea margin experienced a pulse of extensional deformation in the Middle–Late Devonian through the Carboniferous, after the Caledonian Orogeny terminated. These events marked the initial stages of formation of major offshore basins such as the Hammerfest and Nordkapp basins. We mapped and analyzed three major fault complexes, (i) the Måsøy Fault Complex, (ii) the Rolvsøya fault, and ...

The physiological effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in the living human brain were verified experimentally in the early 2000's. A series of studies from Göttingen, Germany, shows that consistently, anodal stimulation lead to increased cortical excitability, while cathodal stimulation leads to increased cortical inhibition. Since then, the effect of tDCS has been further ...

Oppgaven redegjør for om det er adgang til fratakelse av rettslig handleevne etter FN-konvensjonen om rettigheter for mennesker med nedsatt funksjonsevne artikkel 12. Deretter vurderes om vergemålsloven § 22 er i samsvar med Norges folkerettslige forpliktelser etter konvensjonen.

The global aquaculture sector has grown continuously over the past 40 years, though unevenly among countries. Differences in factors such as inputs, climate, management, technology, markets, social environment, and institutions might be reasons for the disparities in growth. This study focuses on institutions, by analyzing the relationship between annual growth in the production of the major aquaculture ...

The incidence of complete Achilles tendon rupture is 18 per 100 000 patient-years and is usually diagnosed clinically by GPs. The extent of clinical misdiagnosis is unknown in Norway, but may be high. This is important as delayed treatment has unfavourable consequences. We report how a GP, with no clinical ultrasound experience, recorded images with a pocket-sized ultrasound device (PSUD) under ...
