Trends in the prevalence of breastfeeding up to 6 months of age using structured data from routine child healthcare visits
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Aim The Norwegian Action Plan for a Healthier Diet (2017–2021) set the target that 25% of infants should be exclusively breastfed for 6 months by 2022. Our aim was to determine trends in the prevalence and duration of ... -
Early Evolutionary Selection of NAD Biosynthesis Pathway in Bacteria
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Bacteria use two alternative pathways to synthesize nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) from nicotinamide (Nam). A short, two-step route proceeds through nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) formation, whereas the other ... -
The nonlinearities in the galvanostatic charging curves of supercapacitors provide insights into charging mechanisms
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Supercapacitors are often charged using constant currents. The capacitance can be determined from the slope of the voltage-time curve if the measured voltage over the supercapacitor increases linearly with time. However, ... -
Systematic reporting of medical kidney biopsies
