Due to the worldwide concern about excessive greenhouse emissions and global warming, vehicles with cleaner sources of energy, e.g., electricity, hydrogen, etc., have been increasingly introduced into the market. Apart from the regulations and government incentives, the distance convenience and accessibility to charging stations have become one of the most important success factors to promote the ...

Deidentification methods, which remove directly identifying information, can be useful tools to mitigate the privacy risks associated with sharing healthcare data. However, benchmarks to evaluate deidentification methods are themselves often derived from real clinical data, making them sensitive themselves and therefore harder to share and apply. Given the rapid advances in generative language ...

In data mining, density-based clustering, which entails classifying datapoints according to their distributions in some space, is an essential method to extract information from large datasets. With the advent of software-based radio, ionospheric radars are capable of producing unprecedentedly large datasets of plasma turbulence backscatter observations, and new automatic techniques are needed to ...

Previous studies show differentially expressed long non-coding RNA present in the placenta from women with pre-eclampsia, potentially playing a vital role in the pathogenesis of the complication. In a published microarray study, Ribonuclease P RNA component H1 was decreased in leukocytes from women that later developed pre-eclampsia. We hypothesized that Ribonuclease P RNA component H1 decreased ...

Rapid Atlantification of marine ecosystems in the Svalbard Archipelago (Norway) is posing a threat to the local polar cod (Boreogadus saida) population. In Kongsfjorden, the decreasing population of polar cod is experiencing a shift in their prey community from Arctic to Atlantic zooplankton and fish. Simultaneously, the abundance of Atlantic cod Gadus morhua is increasing. In this study, we explore ...

Polar mesospheric summer echoes (PMSEs) are radar echoes that are measured in the upper atmosphere during the summer months and that can occur in several layers. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between PMSE layers ranging from 80 to 90 km altitude and the solar cycle. We investigated 230 h of observations from the EISCAT very high frequency (VHF) radar located near Tromsø, ...

A hybrid CFD–ML model for the prediction of sea spray icing, SPICE2, was developed in Part 1 of this study in Deshpande et al., 2024. The SPICE2 model is an extension of the ML model, SPICE, where some of the variables required for icing rate predictions: local wind speed, spray duration, spray period, and spray flux, are computed from CFD simulations. These, along with the air and water ...

Background: Traumatic injury is a leading cause of death and disability in children and young adults. There is a lack of evidence-based literature and guidelines on supporting families after severe child injury. This study aimed to assess the family needs and factors associated with those needs. Methods: A prospective multicenter follow-up study conducted at two Norwegian trauma centers involving ...

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a growing global health concern, particularly among the younger population. The immune system plays an important role in tumor progression and a high density of tumor infiltrating T lymphocytes is linked to improved patient prognosis and therapy response. Tumor-associated high endothelial venules (TA-HEVs) facilitate lymphocyte entry into tumors via the ...

For at least two decades, lack of knowledge about the Sámi in Norway has been recognised as a reason for the perpetuation of stereotypes and discriminatory acts and hate speech towards them. Education about the Sámi, their lifeways, culture and rights is posited as a means of closing this gap, with the intention of influencing the majority Norwegian society’s attitudes towards the Sámi. The ...
