Role for ribosome-associated quality control in sampling proteins for MHC class I-mediated antigen presentation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Pathogens and tumors are detected by the immune system through the display of intracellular peptides on MHC-I complexes. These peptides are generated by the ubiquitin−proteasome system preferentially from newly synthesized ... -
A Role for Weak Electrostatic Interactions in Peripheral Membrane Protein Binding
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-03)Bacillus thuringiensis phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (BtPI-PLC) is a secreted virulence factor that binds specifically to phosphatidylcholine (PC) bilayers containing negatively charged phospholipids. ... -
The Role of "Islamic feminism" in Somali Immigrant Women's Intra-and Extra-Household Bargaining Power and in Mitigating the Negative Effects of the Image Problem in their Integration in Norway
(Master thesis, 2013-05-31)This research explores the aspirations and life experiences of Somali immigrant women in Bergen as they embark on gender-tuned interpretation of the Quran as a source of bargaining power within the household and in the ... -
Role of a digital clinical decision-support system in management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Role of a Digital Clinical Decision–Support System in General Practitioners’ Management of COPD in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: The study investigated if a web-based clinical decision–support system (CDSS) tool would improve general practitioners’ (GPs) accuracy of diagnosis and classification of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary ... -
The Role of a Mission Organization in Building a Sustainable Government Hospital in Southern Ethiopia
(Journal article, 2020)In 1950, the Norwegian Lutheran Mission (NLM) began holistic mission work, including health work in Yirga Alem in Sidama in Southern Ethiopia. The hospital, which had served as a military hospital during the Italian war ... -
The role of acetylation of histone H3 lysine 27 in enhancer function
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-12-09)The histone modification H3K27ac is a hallmark of active enhancers. However, its role in enhance-specific activity remains obscure. We applied mass spectrometry-based quantitative interaction proteomics to determine proteins ... -
Role of Adipocyte SLC7A10 and Amino Acid Metabolism in Obesity and Insulin Resistance
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-12-18)Obesity is a rising global concern, associated with increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Chronic availability of excess nutrients may promote adipocyte dysfunction, ... -
The Role of Age in Cellular Responses to Microenvironmental Cues as a Breast Cancer Susceptibility Factor
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-05-09)Aging is the critical risk factor for many forms of cancer. We used the mammary gland as a model system to study the impact of age on human epithelia in which age is the greatest risk factor for cancer. Dysfunctional ... -
The role of air–sea coupling on November–April intraseasonal rainfall variability over the South Pacific
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)We investigate the impact of resolving air-sea interaction on the simulation of the intraseasonal rainfall variability over the South Pacific using the ECHAM5 atmospheric general circulation model coupled with the ... -
The role of anti-citrullinated protein antibody reactivities in an inception cohort of patients with rheumatoid arthritis receiving treat-to-target therapy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-07-13)Background: Anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) reactivities precede clinical onset of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and it has been suggested that ACPA reactivities towards distinct target proteins may be associated ... -
The role of arginine and arginine-metabolizing enzymes during Giardia - host cell interactions in vitro
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-11-14)Background: Arginine is a conditionally essential amino acid important in growing individuals and under nonhomeostatic conditions/disease. Many pathogens interfere with arginine-utilization in host cells, especially nitric ... -
The Role of Atlantic Heat Transport in Future Arctic Winter Sea Ice Loss
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-14)During recent decades Arctic sea ice variability and retreat during winter have largely been a result of variable ocean heat transport (OHT). Here we use the Community Earth System Model (CESM) large ensemble simulation ... -
Role of atmosphere-ocean interactions in supermodeling the tropical Pacific climate
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-12-29)The supermodel strategy interactively combines several models to outperform the individual models comprising it. A key advantage of the approach is that nonlinear improvements can be achieved, in contrast to the linear ... -
Role of Atmosphere-ocean-ice Interaction in the Linkage between December Bering Sea Ice and Subsequent February Surface Air Temperature Over North America
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)This study revealed that the interannual variations of December Bering Sea ice and subsequent February surface air temperature (SAT) over North America are significantly correlated during 2000/01-2020/21, which is not the ... -
