Lipids have been implicated in Parkinson's Disease (PD). We therefore studied the lipid profile of the neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell line, which is used extensively in PD research and compared it to that of the A431 epithelial cancer cell line. We have isolated whole cell extracts (WC) and plasma membrane (PM) fractions of both cell lines. The isolates were analyzed with 31P NMR. We observed a significant ...

Privacy and security require not only strong algorithms but also reliable and readily available sources of randomness. To tackle this problem, one of the causes of single-event upsets is the utilization of a non-deterministic entropy source, specifically ultra-high energy cosmic rays. An adapted prototype based on existing muon detection technology was used as the methodology during the experiment ...

Sea ice monitoring by polar orbiting satellites has been developed over more than four decades and is today one of the most well-established applications of space observations. This article gives an overview of data product development from the first sensors to the state-of-the-art regarding retrieval methods, new products and operational data sets serving climate monitoring as well as daily operational ...

Analysis of biological nanoparticles in medical sciences is very promising, as it can reveal groundbreaking information about disease mechanisms, potentially leading to innovative and more effective treatment strategies. The existing methods used for analyzing biological nanoparticles come with several limitations, involving extensive sample preparation, and giving limited information about the ...

There are various energy efficiency and emission reduction regulations enforced by the national and international maritime authorities for the shipping industry to adopt greener technologies. In this light, LNG-fueled vessels can be a promising alternative for ocean going diesel operated ships. It will be more beneficial if the price of LNG is lower than diesel to make that an economically viable ...

: An approach relying on nanocavity confinement is developed in this paper for the sizing of nanoscale particles and single biomolecules in solution. The approach, termed nanocavity diffusional sizing (NDS), measures particle residence times within nanofluidic cavities to determine their hydrodynamic radii. Using theoretical modeling and simulations, we show that the residence time of particles ...

This empirical study explores the interplay between place attachment, risk perception, and coping behavior, within two small Norwegian communities exposed to flash flooding. Through a mixed-methods narrative approach, we found that most of our respondents exhibited positive attachment to their communities, aligning with previous studies in rural settings. Using a conceptual model of place attachment ...

Low-salinity meltwater from Arctic sea ice and its snow cover accumulates and creates under-ice meltwater layers below sea ice.These meltwater layers can result in the formation of new ice layers, or false bottoms, at the interface of this low-salinity meltwater and colder seawater. As part of the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of the Arctic Climate (MOSAiC), we used a ...

Efficient routing optimization yields benefits that extend beyond mere financial gains. In this thesis, we present a methodology that utilizes a graph convolutional neural network to facilitate the development of energy-efficient waste collection routes. Our approach focuses on a Waste company in Tromsø, Remiks, and uses real-life datasets, ensuring practicability and ease of implementation. In ...

Norway is anticipated to experience an energy deficit in the coming years, and one solution to address this issue is the implementation of new renewable energy sources. To mitigate the projected energy deficit, increased energy production is required. With its considerable wind potential, the country offers ample opportunities for wind energy development. Consequently, there is a growing demand for ...
