The role of water mass advection in staging of the Southern Ocean Salpa thompsoni populations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-01)Salpa thompsoni is an important grazer in the Southern Ocean. Their abundance in the western Antarctic Peninsula is highly variable, varying by up to 5000-fold inter-annually. Here, we use a particle-tracking model to simulate the potential dispersal of salp populations from a source location in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) to the Palmer Long Term Ecological Research (PAL LTER) study ... -
Procurement of artificial intelligence for radiology practice
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-22)The development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology for radiology has accelerated in the past decade, but its deployment in radiology practices has been slow. We take a sociotechnical approach and suggest that the limited use of AI in radiology practices can be attributed to a recurring tension between planned and emergent change. The paper contributes with a conceptualization and understanding ... -

Forever Foreigners: The Temporality of Immigrant Indebtedness
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-27)In this article, I offer a critical phenomenological investigation of immigrant indebtedness, with special focus on its temporality. I understand immigrant indebtedness as a relation of debt where what is owed is gratitude, and which takes on a special meaning when the debtor in question is racially construed as immigrant. Understood as such, immigrant indebtedness has the power to function as a ... -

Stochastic modeling of blob-like plasma filaments in the scrape-off layer: Theoretical foundation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-25)A stochastic model for a superposition of uncorrelated pulses with a random distribution of amplitudes, sizes, and velocities is presented. The pulses are assumed to move radially with fixed shape and amplitudes decaying exponentially in time due to linear damping. The pulse velocities are taken to be time-independent but randomly distributed. The implications of a distribution of pulse amplitudes, ... -
Diets of gadoid fish in Arctic waters of Svalbard fjords during the polar night
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-23)As the climate warms, boreal fish species are expected to expand into the Arctic domain. Though water temperature is an important factor driving expansion of aquatic species, other variables may play a critical role in restricting those movements. Continuous darkness during the Arctic polar night has been suggested to impair foraging in visually searching boreal fish and may thus limit their northward ... -
