Role of the Neutral Amino Acid Transporter SLC7A10 in Adipocyte Lipid Storage, Obesity and Insulin Resistance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Elucidation of mechanisms that govern lipid storage, oxidative stress, and insulin resistance may lead to improved therapeutic options for type 2 diabetes and other obesity-related diseases. Here, we find that adipose ... -
The role of the northward-directed (sub)surface limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation during the 8.2 ka event
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-10-24)The so-called "8.2 ka event" is widely regarded as a major Holocene climate perturbation. It is most readily identifiable in the oxygen-isotope records from Greenland ice cores as an approximately 160-year-long cold interval ... -
The role of the primary auditory cortex in the neural mechanism of auditory verbal hallucinations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-04-24)Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs) are a subjective experience of “hearing voices” in the absence of corresponding physical stimulation in the environment. The most remarkable feature of AVHs is their perceptual quality, ... -
The role of the sea surface temperature in the atmospheric seasonal cycle of the equatorial Atlantic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We investigate the role of sea surface temperature (SST) and land surface temperature (LST) in driving the seasonal cycle of the atmosphere (surface winds and precipitation) in the tropical Atlantic. For this we compare ... -
The role of the Southern Ocean in past global biogeochemical cycling
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-04-27)This thesis describes several recent advances on the role of the Southern Ocean in past global biogeochemical cycling. We focus on the ocean of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and the Pleistocene epoch and apply proxies of ... -
The Role of the Stratosphere in Subseasonal to Seasonal Prediction: 1. Predictability of the Stratosphere
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-18)The stratosphere has been identified as an important source of predictability for a range of processes on subseasonal to seasonal (S2S) time scales. Knowledge about S2S predictability within the stratosphere is however ... -
The Role of the Stratosphere in Subseasonal to Seasonal Prediction: 2. Predictability Arising From Stratosphere-Troposphere Coupling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The stratosphere can have a significant impact on winter surface weather on subseasonal to seasonal (S2S) timescales. This study evaluates the ability of current operational S2S prediction systems to capture two important ... -
Role of three dimensional (3D) printing in endourology: An update from EAU young academic urologists (YAU) urolithiasis and endourology working group
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The management of nephrolithiasis has been complemented well by modern technological advancements like virtual reality, three-dimensional (3D) printing etc. In this review, we discuss the applications of 3D printing in ... -
The role of tobacco promoting and restraining factors in smoking intentions among Ghanaian youth
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-08-15)Background: In Western countries, the relationship between smoking intentions and smoking behaviour is well established. However, youth smoking intentions and associated factors in developing countries are largely unexplored ... -
The Role of Top-Down and Bottom-Up Processing in Auditory False Perceptions: A Signal Detection Analysis
(Master thesis, 2018-06-07)There is a tendency in the literature to find people with a high hallucination proneness to have significantly lower response bias but no significant difference for sensitivity compared to people with low hallucination ... -
The role of transmission and energy storage in European decarbonization towards 2050
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)This paper presents analyses of the development of the European electricity sector that is in line with the climate and energy targets of the European Union for 2030 and 2050. The role of energy storage and transmission ... -
Role of volcanic forcing on future global carbon cycle
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-06-16)Using a fully coupled global climate-carbon cycle model, we assess the potential role of volcanic eruptions on future projection of climate change and its associated carbon cycle feedback. The volcanic-like forcings are ... -
The role of welfare regimes in the relationship between childhood economic stress and adult health: a multilevel study of 20 European countries
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Childhood economic conditions are important for adult health, and welfare regimes may modify this relationship by altering exposure to social determinants of health. We examine the association between childhood economic ... -
The Role of Wettability Alteration in Subsurface CO2 Storage: Modeling and Numerical Analysis
(Doctoral thesis, 2021-12-06)This dissertation is aimed to provide mathematical frameworks to assess the large-scale deployment of CO2 in a subsurface formation, where the formation wettability is assumed to be altering through exposure time to the ... -
Role of wind stress in driving SST biases in the tropical Atlantic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-13)Coupled climate models used for long-term future climate projections and seasonal or decadal predictions share a systematic and persistent warm sea surface temperature (SST) bias in the tropical Atlantic. This study attempts ... -
