Comparison of 6-week PMTCT outcomes for HIV-exposed and HIV-unexposed infants in the era of lifelong ART: Results from an observational prospective cohort study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background Lifelong antiretroviral therapy (ART) reduces mother-to-child HIV transmission (MTCT) and improves maternal health. Data on the outcomes of HIV-exposed infants (HEI) compared to their unexposed counterparts in ... -
Comparison of a digital iodine-specific dietary screener with 24-hour recall and urinary iodine concentration
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Mild-to-moderate iodine deficiency remains a problem worldwide, including in Norway. Of particular, concern is fertile, pregnant and lactating women. The Norwegian Dairy Council developed a digital iodine-specific dietary ... -
Comparison of a palm-based biometric solution with a name-based identification system in rural Bangladesh
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Unique identifiers are not universal in low- and middle-income countries. Biometric solutions have the potential to augment existing name-based searches used for identification in these settings. This paper ... -
A comparison of abundance, distribution and behavior of Northeast Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus L.) during curved and straight forward trawling.
(Master thesis, 2016-06-01)Northeast Atlantic Mackerel (Scomber scombrus) is one of the largest and economically most valuable fish stocks in the world. However, due to a large area of distribution, low acoustic backscatter and highly dynamic and ... -
Comparison of anadromous and landlocked Atlantic salmon genomes reveals signatures of parallel and relaxed selection across the Northern Hemisphere
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Most Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) populations follow an anadromous life cycle, spending early life in freshwater, migrating to the sea for feeding, and returning to rivers to spawn. At the end of the last ice age ~10,000 ... -
A comparison of analytical approaches to investigate associations for accelerometry-derived physical activity spectra with health and developmental outcomes in children
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The use of high-resolution physical activity intensity spectra obtained from accelerometry can improve knowledge of associations with health and development beyond the use of traditional summary measures of intensity. The ... -
A comparison of ancient deltaic shoreline progradation with modern deltaic progradation rates: Unravelling the temporal structure of the shallow-marine Blackhawk Formation, Upper Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway, USA
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Understanding how sedimentary rocks represent time is one of the significant challenges in sedimentology. Sedimentation rates retrieved from vertical sections are strongly timescale dependent, which means that we cannot ... -
A Comparison of Anthropometric Measures for Assessing the Association between Body Size and Risk of Chronic Low Back Pain: TheHUNT Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-10-27)Background: Previous work indicates that overweight and obese individuals carry an increased risk of experiencing chronic low back pain (LBP). It is not known, however, how the association with body size depends on the ... -
Comparison of bone regenerative capacity of donor-matched human adipose–derived and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-11)Adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) have been used as an alternative to bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) for bone tissue engineering. However, the efficacy of ASC in bone regeneration in comparison with BMSC remains ... -
Comparison of burning velocity differences in a numerical explosion simulator
(Master thesis, 2014-06-02)A verification study of the two flame models in the numerical explosion simulation tool FLACS has been conducted. The beta flame model, and the SIF flame model has been tested in a 1D-channel at different time step sizes. ... -
Comparison of calibration models for rapid prediction of lignin content in lignocellulosic biomass based on infrared and near-infrared spectroscopy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Lignocellulosic biomass has great potential as a renewable energy source due to abundance both as vegetation and in residues from agriculture and forestry. It can be utilized for biofuels and for value-added chemicals and ... -
Comparison of commercial ELISA assays for quantification of corticosterone in serum
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-07-27)Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits are widely used to quantify corticosterone levels for the assessment of stress in laboratory animals. The aim of this experiment was simply to evaluate if four different and ... -
A comparison of complementary measures of vitamin B6 status, function, and metabolism in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background Vitamin B6 insufficiency has been linked to increased risk of cancer and other chronic diseases. The circulating concentration of pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP) is a commonly used measure of vitamin B6 status. ... -
Comparison of CpG Island Methylator Phenotype (CIMP) Frequency in Colon Cancer Using Different Probe- and Gene-Specific Scoring Alternatives on Recommended Multi-Gene Panels
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-01-21)Background: In colorectal cancer a distinct subgroup of tumours demonstrate the CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP). However, a consensus of how to score CIMP is not reached, and variation in definition may influence ... -
Comparison of depression care provided in general practice in Norway and the Netherlands: registry-based cohort study (The Norwegian GP-DEP study)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-07)Background: Depression is highly prevalent in general practice, and organisation of primary health care probably affects the provision of depression care. General practitioners (GPs) in Norway and the Netherlands fulfil ... -
