Mechanisms and maneouvers of forest resource access and its implications for rural livelihoods in the high forest zone of Ghana
(Master thesis, 2015-05-15)The management of Ghana's Forests has attracted diverse social actors with multiple interests from the state (Forestry Commission, FC) to local level (local forest users). This has resulted in processes and mechanisms ... -
Mechanisms and pathways of ocean heat anomalies in the Arctic-Atlantic region
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-12-10)Along the Atlantic water pathway, from the Gulf Stream in the south to the Arctic Ocean in the north, variability in ocean heat content is pronounced on interannual to decadal time scales. Ocean heat anomalies in this ... -
Mechanisms for decadal scale variability in a simulated Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-06-25)Variability in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) has been analysed using a 600-year pre-industrial control simulation with the Bergen Climate Model. The typical AMOC variability has amplitudes of 1 ... -
Mechanisms Generating Dichotomies in the Life Strategies of Heterotrophic Marine Prokaryotes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Understanding the mechanisms that generate and maintain diversity in marine prokaryotic communities is one of the main challenges for contemporary marine microbiology. We here review how observational, experimental, and ... -
Mechanisms linking parental educational attainment with child ADHD, depression, and academic problems: a study of extended families in The Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background: Low educational attainment in parents is associated with child psychopathology. It is not clear whether the associations are due to risk factors that family members share or due to effects of maternal or ... -
Mechanisms of cataract development in adult Atlantic salmon growers relative to dietary histidine and plant feed ingredients
(Doctoral thesis, 2010-03-19)Cataracts are defined as opacities of the eye lens and can be caused by a large number of risk factors. In aquaculture, cataracts in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) represent an ethical problem and can cause ... -
Mechanisms of decadal North Atlantic climate variability and implications for the recent cold anomaly
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Decadal sea surface temperature (SST) fluctuations in the North Atlantic Ocean influence climate over adjacent land areas and are a major source of skill in climate predictions. However, the mechanisms underlying decadal ... -
Mechanisms of Ocean Heat Anomalies in the Norwegian Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-04)Ocean heat content in the Norwegian Sea exhibits pronounced variability on interannual to decadal time scales. These ocean heat anomalies are known to influence Arctic sea ice extent, marine ecosystems, and continental ... -
Mechanisms of offshore solid and liquid freshwater flux from the East Greenland Current
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The mechanisms that control the export of freshwater from the East Greenland Current, in both liquid and solid form, are explored using an idealized numerical model and scaling theory. A regional, coupled ocean–sea ice ... -
Mechanisms of regional winter sea-ice variability in a warming arctic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The Arctic winter sea ice cover is in retreat overlaid by large internal variability. Changes to sea ice are driven by exchange of heat, momentum, and freshwater within and between the ocean and the atmosphere. Using a ... -
Mechanisms of Security: Locks, keys, and ordered life in Iron Age Norway (c. 0–1050 AD)
(Doctoral thesis, 2021-06-25)This thesis examines the technological and social parameters for, and the social impact of, the introduction and implementation of locking into Norway in the Iron Age, based on analyses of locks and keys. The functional ... -
Mechanisms responsible for asymmetric aurora between the conjugate hemispheres
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-04)The work presented in this thesis is part of ongoing research within one of the research groups at the Birkeland Centre for Space Science (BCSS) at the Department of Physics and Technology, University of Bergen. Members ... -
The mechanisms that determine the response of the Northern Hemisphere’s stationary waves to North American Ice Sheets
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-07-01)Stationary waves describe the persistent meanders in the west–east flow of the extratropical atmosphere. Here, changes in stationary waves caused by ice sheets over North America are examined and the underlying mechanisms ... -
Mechanisms underlying recent Arctic atlantification
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-20)Recent warming and reduced sea ice concentrations in the Atlantic sector of the Arctic Ocean are the main signatures of ongoing Arctic “Atlantification.” The mechanisms driving the warming trends are nevertheless still ... -
Mechanistic Insight and Translational Possibilities of Obesity-Breast Cancer Connection
(Doctoral thesis, 2021-12-07)Obesity is an independent risk factor for more than thirteen cancer types. In breast cancer context, obesity is strongly associated with higher incidence and poorer prognosis in postmenopausal patients. The management of ... -
Mechanistic Insight for Improved Catalytic Conversion of Fatty Acids to Linear α-Olefins : A Density Functional Theory Study
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-02-14)One of the greatest challenges in our time is the replacement of fossil fuels with more sustainable alternatives for energy and chemical production. Arguably one of the most important classes of petrochemical intermediates ... -
Mechanistic Modeling of Combined Low Salinity Waterflood and Surfactant- Polymer Flooding
(Master thesis, 2018-06-27)Flooding experiments have been made to investigating the effects of low salinity brine injection and the combined injection of low salinity surfactant and low salinity polymer solutions. These experiments have shown a large ... -
Mechanistic Modelling of Radial Polymer Flow in Porous Media
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-09-29)Polymer flooding is one of the most successful chemically enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods, and has primarily been implemented to accelerate oil production by sweep improvement. However, research from the last couple ... -
Med akevitt til biffen. Norsk immigrasjon til Argentina 1880–1930
(Master thesis, 2010-05-16)Dette forskningsprosjektet vil gi ny informasjon om en norsk utreisedestinasjon - en utreisedestinasjon som i henhold til tradisjonell norsk migrasjon var utradisjonell og som tiltrakk seg relativt få nordmenn i forhold ... -
