Time for a change? Investigating shifts in agricultural economies and food in southern‑central Norway (11th ‑16th c. AD)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Cattle and, to a lesser extent, sheep/goat and pigs, were crucial components of Norway’s socio-cultural and economic dynamics in the Middle Ages. Zooarchaeological analyses of faunal samples from different urban sites ... -
(Re)packing Equal Disks into Rectangle
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The problem of packing of equal disks (or circles) into a rectangle is a fundamental geometric problem. (By a packing here we mean an arrangement of disks in a rectangle without overlapping.) We consider the following ... -
Adolescents’ screen-based media use and the relationship with moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, sports club participation and active commuting
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Aim: A worry regarding young people’s physical activity engagement relates to a potentially competing development: the role of screen-based media (SBM) in their everyday lives. The present study aimed to assess time spent ... -
The dawn of the tropical Atlantic invasion into the Mediterranean Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The Mediterranean Sea is a marine biodiversity hotspot already affected by climate- driven biodiversity collapses. Its highly endemic fauna is at further risk if global warming triggers an invasion of tropical Atlantic ... -
On the stability radius for linear time-delay systems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The exponential function that appears in the formula of the stability radius of linear time-delay differential systems is approximated by its Padé approximant. This reduces the computation of the level sets of singular ... -
Fixed-Parameter Tractability of Maximum Colored Path and beyond
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)We introduce a general method for obtaining fixed-parameter algorithms for problems about finding paths in undirected graphs, where the length of the path could be unbounded in the parameter. The first application of our ... -
Differential regulation of magnesium transporters Slc41, Cnnm and Trpm6-7 in the kidney of salmonids may represent evolutionary adaptations to high salinity environments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024-11-29)Magnesium is important for enzymatic reactions and physiological functions, and its intracellular concentration is tightly regulated. Atlantic salmon has the ability to handle large changes in environmental Mg2+ concentration ... -
A cross-linguistic study of lexical and derived antonymy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Antonymy is the lexical relation of opposition. The nature of the oppositeness may differ – e.g., contradictory (‘true’–‘false’) or gradable (‘tall’–‘short’) – and there may be variation as to the relationship in their ... -
Hydrography and circulation below Fimbulisen Ice Shelf, East Antarctica, from 14 years of moored observations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Future mass loss from the East Antarctic Ice Sheet represents a major uncertainty in projections of future sea level rise. Recent studies have highlighted the potential vulnerability of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet to ... -
A Simple Statistical Postprocessing Scheme for Enhancing the Skill of Seasonal SST Predictions in the Tropics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Seasonal prediction systems are subject to systematic errors, including those introduced during the initialization procedure, that may degrade the forecast skill. Here we use a novel statistical postprocessing correction ... -
Hvordan forstå endringer i før-moderne sharia? Et nærmere blikk på den rettsvitenskapelige tradisjonen i perioden 1200–1800
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Sharia blir ofte framstilt som noe strengt og uforanderlig. Både konservative muslimer og såkalte islam-kritikere presenterer gjerne sharia som statisk og avledet av Koranen og sunnaen en gang for alle. At endring skjer ... -
MAP- and MLE-Based Teaching
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Imagine a learner L who tries to infer a hidden concept from a collection of observations. Building on the work of Ferri et al. (2022), we assume the learner to be parameterized by priors P (c) and by c-conditional likelihoods ... -
The Role of Parental Language Profile and Home Linguistic Environment in Shaping Teenagers' Multilingual Identity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)In the multilingual context of Norway, language policy at the macro level supports the development of multilingualism. At the meso level, parental language beliefs and ideologies and language practices in interactions among ... -
Anisotropic effects in the nondipole relativistic photoionization of hydrogen
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)In the nonrelativistic and dipole regime of multiphoton ionization, spherical symmetry in all but the polarization direction of the laser pulse ensures that directional dependency in the photoelectron spectra is limited ... -
Do political finance reforms really reduce corruption? A replication study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)In their 2021 article published in the British Journal of Political Science, Calla Hummel, John Gerring, and Thomas Burt (henceforth Hummel et al.) examine the relationship between political finance reforms and corruption, ... -
Reconcilable differences: Using retrospective photogrammetry to bridge the divide between analogue and digital site data collected during long-term excavation projects
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Over the last 30 years, high-resolution site documentation has rapidly developed, with analogue drawings and film photography being replaced with high-precision digital recordings. Today, most archaeological field data ... -
A Mismatched Piece in a Cultural Middle Stone Age Puzzle: Traces of Human Activity Dated to 90 kya (MIS 5) at Sites EDAR 134 and 155 in the Eastern Sahara, Sudan
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)This article presents the results of research carried out at two previously unreported Eastern Desert Atbara River project (EDAR) Middle Stone Age (MSA) sites—EDAR 134 and EDAR 155. Luminescence dating results indicate ... -
Phospholipid Membrane Interactions of Model Ac-WL-X-LL-OH Peptides Investigated by Solid-State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The role of aromatic amino acids in peripheral protein membrane binding has been reported to involve cation–π interactions with choline lipids. In this study, we have investigated the interactions of the model pentapeptide ... -
