Quantitative methods demonstrate that environment alone is an insufficient predictor of present-day language distributions in New Guinea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Environmental parameters constrain the distributions of plant and animal species. A key question is to what extent does environment influence human behavior. Decreasing linguistic diversity from the equator towards the ... -
Quantitative molecular detection of larval Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) in stomach contents of Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus) marks regions of predation pressure
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Mortality rates in the early life-history stages of fishes are generally high yet identifying the causes remain unclear. Faltering recruitment rates of Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) in the Norwegian Sea indicate a ... -
Quantitative NMR analysis of the aqueous phase from hydrothermal liquefaction of lignin
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-06)Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of biomass such as lignin could contribute to finding replacements for petroleum, both as a fuel and production of chemicals. The organic phase produced in formic acid assisted HTL of lignin ... -
Quantitative proteome profiling reveals molecular hallmarks of egg quality in Atlantic halibut: impairments of transcription and protein folding impede protein and energy homeostasis during early development
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Tandem mass tag spectrometry (TMT labeling-LC-MS/MS) was utilized to examine the global proteomes of Atlantic halibut eggs at the 1-cell-stage post fertilization. Comparisons were made between eggs judged to ... -
Quantitative proteomics reveals protein dysregulation during T cell activation in multiple sclerosis patients compared to healthy controls
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-05)Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune, neurodegenerative disorder with a strong genetic component that acts in a complex interaction with environmental factors for disease development. CD4+ T cells are pivotal ... -
Quantitative pupillometry in comatose out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients: A post-hoc analysis of the TTH48 trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background: Quantitative pupillometry is an objective method to examine pupil reaction and subsequently grade the response on a neurological pupil index (NPi) scale from 0 to 5. The aim of the present sub-study was to ... -
Quantitative transcriptomics, and lipidomics in evaluating ovarian developmental effects in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) caged at a capped marine waste disposal site
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)In the present study, a previously capped waste disposal site at Kollevåg (Norway) was selected to study the effects of contaminant leakage on biomarkers associated with Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) reproductive endocrinology ... -
Quantitative User Data From a Chatbot Developed for Women With Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: Observational Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background: The rising prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) calls for the use of innovative methods to inform and empower these pregnant women. An information chatbot, Dina, was developed for women with GDM ... -
Quark self-energy and condensates in NJL model with external magnetic field
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In a one-flavor NJL model with a finite temperature, chemical potential, and external magnetic field, the self-energy of the quark propagator contains more condensates besides the vacuum condensate. We use Fierz identity ... -
Quarkonia as probes of the QGP and of the initial stages of the heavy-ion collision with ALICE
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Studies of quarkonium production in heavy-ion collisions can be used for probing QGP properties. The suppression and regeneration of bound quarkonium states is sensitive to the medium properties. Modifications of the ... -
Quarks and gluons in the Lund plane
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Discriminating quark and gluon jets is a long-standing topic in collider phenomenology. In this paper, we address this question using the Lund jet plane substructure technique introduced in recent years. We present two ... -
Quartz overgrowth textures and fluid inclusion thermometry evidence for basin-scale sedimentary recycling: An example from the Mesozoic Barents Sea Basin
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Sedimentary recycling has the potential to obscure source-to-sink relationships, provenance interpretations, burial history reconstructions and robust reservoir quality predictions in siliciclastic sedimentary basins. Here, ... -
Quartz textural analysis from an anastomosing shear zone system: Implications for the tectonic evolution of the Ribeira belt, Brazil
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Strain localization and influence of grain-size reduction processes were investigated from field and microstructural observations, and from quartz textural analysis using EBSD, in rocks deformed along an anastomosing network ... -
The Quasi-Linear Absolute Angular Momentum Slope of Tropical Cyclones Under Rapid Intensification
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Tropical cyclone (TC) low-level tangential wind structure is known to be an important input for risk assessment (e.g., storm surge). However, a realistic TC wind structure model with easy implementation is still needed for ... -
Quasi-static response of a bottom-fixed wind turbine subject to various incident wind fields
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In the design of offshore wind farms the simulated dynamic response of the wind turbine structure includes loading from turbulent wind. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard for wind turbine design ... -
The quaternary structure of human tyrosine hydroxylase: effects of dystonia‐associated missense variants on oligomeric state and enzyme activity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is a multi-domain, homo-oligomeric enzyme that catalyses the rate-limiting step of catecholamine neurotransmitter biosynthesis. Missense variants of human TH are associated with a recessive ... -
Queering Cultural Memory Through Technology: Transitional Spaces in AR and VR
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)While cinema boasts of a long history that has placed the representation and aesthetics of memory at its centre, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are only starting to shape their own aesthetic and narrative ... -
Quenched invariance principle for random walks on dynamically averaging random conductances
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)We prove a quenched invariance principle for continuous-time random walks in a dynamically averaging environment on Z. In the beginning, the conductances may fluctuate substantially, but we assume that as time proceeds, ... -
Quenching effects in the cumulative jet spectrum
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The steeply falling jet spectrum induces a bias on the medium modifications of jet observables in heavy-ion collisions. To explore this effect, we develop a novel analytic framework to study the quenched jet spectrum and ... -
