This thesis developed the EOS formulations of solving nonlinear transient scatterings, both for 1D case and 3D Maxwell's equations. This method can be accurately and stably implemented using one particular choice of numerical scheme for the inside of the objects and for the required integral representations of the boundary values. For a stable numerical solution, the time step needs to be confined ...

Bacteria live in fluctuating environments, which they sense and respond to through gene regulation. Availably of iron is an example of an element fluctuating and that can Bacteria sense.Iron is an essential micronutrient that is scares in several environments, especially in a host. The ferric uptake regulator, Fur, is the major iron level sensing protein and regulator of iron acquisition systems in ...

Human-model data are very valuable and important in biomedical research. Ethical and economical constraints limit the access to such data, and consequently these datasets rarely comprise more than a few hundred observations. As measurements are comparatively cheap, the tendency is to measure as many things as possible for the few, valuable participants in a study. With -omics technologies it is cheap ...

This dissertation argues that we can develop unified systems for reproducible exploration and analysis of high-throughput biological datasets. We propose an approach, Small Modular Entities (SME), that orchestrates the execution of analysis pipelines and data exploration applications. We realize SMEs using software container technologies together with well-defined interfaces, configuration, and ...

Intensive but heterogeneous and transient seepage of methane (CH4) bubbles from the seafloor exist west of Prins Karls Forland (PKF), offshore western Svalbard. The powerful greenhouse gas CH4, has 32 times higher warming potential than carbon dioxide (CO2) and if seepage of CH4 from the seafloor reaches the atmosphere, it will contribute to the warming climate. Warming of the oceans may in turn, ...

Due to the large improvements that deep learning based models have brought to a variety of tasks, they have in recent years received large amounts of attention. However, these improvements are to a large extent achieved in supervised settings, where labels are available, and initially focused on traditional computer vision tasks such as visual object recognition. Specific application domains that ...

New tools and methods are needed to monitor marine resources so that industrial activities can be conducted without (or at least minimizing) adverse impacts on species of concern. UAVs can be used as a complementary or alternative tool to current methods for monitoring and research of marine mammals. This study highlights current knowledge gaps and the need for further empirical testing of these ...

The Kilpisjärvi Atmospheric Imaging Receiver Array (KAIRA) is a phased-array radio detector located in Arctic Finland, where auroral electron precipitation is common. This unique deployment of a modern radio telescope in an unconventional location has resulted in a novel and powerful instrument capable of carrying out a large variety of remote-sensing, geoscience experiments. This work presents a ...

Fluctuation-induced plasma–wall interactions is a major concern for the next generation, high duty-cycle magnetic confinement fusion devices. The turbulence is generated in the outboard midplane transition region between the confined core plasma and the scrape-off layer where magnetic field lines intersect material walls. Here, filaments of hot and dense plasma, elongated in the field direction, ...

In northern Norway, late/post-Caledonian extension initiated along inverted, brittle-ductile thrusts, e.g. Sørøya-Ingøya shear zone, which truncated existing, margin-oblique, late Neoproterozoic, Timanian faults and margin-parallel, latest Mesoproterozoic-mid Neoproterozoic faults related to the opening of the Asgard Sea and Iapetus Ocean. Inverted thrusts were active through the Devonian and early ...
