Governing migration through vulnerability at Spain’s southern maritime border: a malleable concept in a securitised and marketised regime
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Vulnerability has emerged as a central policy concept in migration governance. Despite its growing importance, the concept remains contested and ambiguous. As multiple conceptions of vulnerability circulate, it becomes ... -
Tectono-Stratigraphic Evolution of Salt-Influenced Normal Fault Systems: An Example From The Coffee-Soil Fault, Danish North Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)We explore how the relationships between fault activity, salt movement and sediment loading affect the stratal geometry of the hanging wall throughout the evolution of a salt-influenced normal fault system. We examine a ... -
Screening for Circulating Inflammatory Proteins Does Not Reveal Plasma Biomarkers of Constant Tinnitus
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background and Objective Tinnitus would benefit from an objective biomarker. The goal of this study is to identify plasma biomarkers of constant and chronic tinnitus among selected circulating inflammatory proteins. ... -
Time-Resolved Concentrations of Serum Amino Acids, One-carbon Metabolites, and B-vitamin Biomarkers during the Postprandial and Fasting State: The Postprandial Metabolism in Healthy Young Adults (PoMet) study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Metabolomics has been utilised in epidemiological studies to investigate biomarkers of nutritional status and metabolism in relation to non-communicable diseases. However, little is known about the effect of prandial status ... -
Gas phase models of hydride transfer from divalent alkaline earth metals to CO2 and CH2O
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The reactivity of HMg+, HMgCl, and HMgCl2− in hydride transfer reactions with CO2 and CH2O were studied by means of the reverse reactions—decarboxylation of HCO2MgCln+/0/− and deformylation of CH3OMgCln+/0/− (n = 0–2)—by ... -
Observation of the boson peak in a two-dimensional material
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The boson peak is an excess in the phonon vibrational density of states relative to the Debye model. It has been observed in a wide range of amorphous materials, from inorganic glasses to polymers. Two-dimensional random ... -
Exploring hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of digested sewage sludge (DSS) at 5.3 L and 0.025 L bench scale using experimental design
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)A common perspective within the prospect of a greener future is utilising our waste materials. One waste material of which the world has abundant resources, and where we will keep having resources, is sewage sludge. This ... -
A reliable external calibration method for reaction monitoring with benchtop NMR
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique with the ability to acquire both quantitative and structurally insightful data for multiple components in a test sample. This makes NMR ... -
Water-Accelerated Decomposition of Olefin Metathesis Catalysts
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Water is ubiquitous in olefin metathesis, at levels ranging from contaminant to cosolvent. It is also non-benign. Water-promoted catalyst decomposition competes with metathesis, even for “robust” ruthenium catalysts. ... -
Toward the end-to-end optimization of particle physics instruments with differentiable programming
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The full optimization of the design and operation of instruments whose functioning relies on the interaction of radiation with matter is a super-human task, due to the large dimensionality of the space of possible choices ... -
An integrated geological characterization of the Mid-Pleistocene to Holocene geology of the Sørlige Nordsjø II offshore wind site, southern North Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Subsurface deposits in recently glaciated marine areas are highly heterogeneous, representing a range of glacial and postglacial environments and processes including glacitectonism, overconsolidation, fluvial and lacustrine ... -
Leaflet Tensions Control the Spatio-Temporal Remodeling of Lipid Bilayers and Nanovesicles
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Biological and biomimetic membranes are based on lipid bilayers, which consist of two monolayers or leaflets. To avoid bilayer edges, which form when the hydrophobic core of such a bilayer is exposed to the surrounding ... -
Phylogeography of Ramalina farinacea (Lichenized Fungi, Ascomycota) in the Mediterranean Basin, Europe, and Macaronesia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Ramalina farinacea is an epiphytic lichen-forming fungus with a broad geographic distribution, especially in the Northern Hemisphere. In the eighties of the last century, it was hypothesized that R. farinacea had originated ... -
Computational issues in parameter estimation for hidden Markov models with template model builder
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)A popular way to estimate the parameters of a hidden Markov model (HMM) is direct numerical maximization (DNM) of the (log-)likelihood function. The advantages of employing the TMB [Kristensen K, Nielsen A, Berg C, et al. ... -
Topological Characterization of a Fault Network Along the Northern North Sea Rift Margin
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The factors that control the spatial variation of the topological characteristics of normal fault networks at the rift-scale are poorly understood. Here, we use 3D seismic reflection data from the northern North Sea to ... -
Cytotoxic Natural Products Isolated from Cryptogramma crispa (L.) R. Br.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Parsley fern, Cryptogramma crispa, is a common fern in arctic–alpine regions, and even though this species has been known since ancient times and has been presumed to cause the poisoning of horses, its natural products ... -
Toxicity prediction using target, interactome, and pathway profiles as descriptors
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)In silico methods are essential to the safety evaluation of chemicals. Computational risk assessment offers several approaches, with data science and knowledge-based methods becoming an increasingly important sub-group. ... -
Interhemispheric asymmetries of neutral upwelling and ion upflow
