• #### Conservation and divergence of chemical defense system in the tunicate Oikopleura dioica revealed by genome wide response to two xenobiotics ﻿

(BioMed Central Ltd., 2012-02-02)
Background Animals have developed extensive mechanisms of response to xenobiotic chemical attacks. Although recent genome surveys have suggested a broad conservation of the chemical defensome across metazoans, global ...

• #### Conserved BK Channel-Protein Interactions Reveal Signals Relevant to Cell Death and Survival ﻿

(Public Library of Science, 2011-12-09)
The large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BK) channel and its b-subunit underlie tuning in non-mammalian sensory or hair cells, whereas in mammals its function is less clear. To gain insights into species differences and ...

• #### Consistency issues in pdf methods ﻿

(Tipografia Universitatii Ovidius, 2015)
Concentrations of chemical species transported in random environments need to be statistically characterized by probability density functions (PDF). Solutions to evolution equations for the one-point one-time PDF are usually ...

• #### Constraining the exchange through the strait of Bab el Mandab ﻿

(The University of Bergen, 2012-10-01)
The strait of Bab el Mandab connects the Red Sea with the Indian ocean via the Gulf of Aden. The mean circulation at the strait is a three-layered exchange. The circulation in the Red Sea is understood to be driven by the ...

• #### Constraints on the off-shell Higgs boson signal strength in the high-mass $ZZ$ and $WW$ final states with the ATLAS detector ﻿

(Springer, 2015-07)
Measurements of the $ZZ$ and $WW$ final states in the mass range above the $2m_Z$ and $2m_W$ thresholds provide a unique opportunity to measure the off-shell coupling strength of the Higgs boson. This paper presents a ...
Journal article
• #### Contemporary evolution caused by fisheries: Contributions from experimental studies ﻿

(The University of Bergen, 2012-11-06)
Evolutionary change is occurring within tens of generations or fewer in nature. This contemporary evolution is commonly caused by human activities, as they alter the selective pressures that the populations experience. ...
Doctoral thesis
• #### Continuous and episodic sedimentation in western Norwegian fjord lakes. A Holocene climatic perspective ﻿

(The University of Bergen, 2011-10-21)
A Holocene chronology of hazardous events has been constructed in parallel with a new record of glacier variability from inner Nordfjord in western Norway, based on the analysis of seismic profiles and sediment cores ...
Doctoral thesis
• #### Continuous Levels-of-Detail and Visual Abstraction for Seamless Molecular Visualization ﻿

(Wiley, 2014-05-06)
Molecular visualization is often challenged with rendering of large molecular structures in real time. We introduce a novel approach that enables us to show even large protein complexes. Our method is based on the ...
Journal article
• #### A Continuous Max-Flow Approach to Minimal Partitions with Label Cost Prior ﻿

(The authors, 2011)
This paper investigates a convex relaxation approach for minimum description length (MDL) based image partitioning or labeling, which proposes an energy functional regularized by the spatial smoothness prior joint with ...

• #### Continuous Max-Flow for Image Segmentation with Shape Priors ﻿

(The University of Bergen, 2014-06-02)
In this thesis we propose a stable method for image segmentation with shape priors. The original Chan-Vese intensity based segmentation model with regularisation term is extended to include shape prior information. We study ...
Master thesis
• #### Continuous Updating of a Coupled Reservoir-Seismic Model Using an Ensemble Kalman Filter Technique ﻿

(The University of Bergen, 2007-03-29)
This work presents the development of a method based on the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) for continuous reservoir model updating with respect to the combination of production data, 3D seismic data and time-lapse seismic ...
Doctoral thesis
• #### Contractional deformation of porous sandstone: Insights from the Aztec Sandstone, SE Nevada, USA ﻿

(Elsevier, 2015-05)
Contractional deformation of highly porous sandstones is poorly explored, as compared to extensional deformation of such sedimentary rocks. In this work we explore the highly porous Aztec Sandstone in the footwall to the ...
Journal article
• #### Contractional deformation of porous sandstones. Laramide and Sevier deformation of the Navajo and Aztec sandstones in western USA ﻿

(The University of Bergen, 2015-02-16)
In response to stress, high porosity sandstones tend to deform and localize strain in the form of deformation bands, which form by rotation, sliding and potentially crushing of grains. Contrary to slip surfaces and fractures, ...
Doctoral thesis
• #### Contrasting response to nutrient manipulation in Arctic mesocosms are reproduced by a minimum microbial food web model ﻿

(Wiley, 2015-01-27)
A minimum mathematical model of the marine pelagic microbial food web has previously shown to be able to reproduce central aspects of observed system response to different bottom-up manipulations in a mesocosm experiment ...

• #### Contributions to the Theory of Atoms and Molecules in Strong Electromagnetic Fields ﻿

(The University of Bergen, 2006-09-29)
Doctoral thesis
• #### Control region sequences indicate that multiple externae represent multiple infections by Sacculina carcini (Cirripedia: Rhizocephala) ﻿

(Wiley, 2014-07-29)
The rhizocephalan barnacle, Sacculina carcini, is a common parasite of the European shore crab, Carcinus maenas, in which it causes significant detrimental physical and behavioral modifications. In the vast majority of ...

• #### Controllability on Infinite-Dimensional Manifolds: A Chow-Rashevsky Theorem ﻿

(Springer, 2014-04-29)
One of the fundamental problems in control theory is that of controllability, the question of whether one can drive the system from one point to another with a given class of controls. A classical result in geometric control ...

• #### Controls of basement fabric on cover faulting in strike-slip regimes: analogue physical models of faults using plaster ﻿

(The University of Bergen, 2015-06-01)
The full complexity of deformation associated with natural faults is difficult to understand, given the lack of three-dimensional exposure in outcrop and the limitations of seismic resolution in the sub-surface. Analogue ...

• #### Controls on hydrocarbon column-heights in the north-eastern North Sea ﻿

(The University of Bergen, 2015-06-30)
Knowledge about the controls on hydrocarbon column-heights is important in hydrocarbon exploration, as such column heights are the main controlling factor for in-place volumes of prospects. The north-eastern Viking ...
