Implicit linearization scheme for nonstandard two-phase flow in porous media
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In this article, we consider a nonlocal (in time) two‐phase flow model. The nonlocality is introduced through the wettability alteration induced dynamic capillary pressure function. We present a monotone fixed‐point iterative ... -
The importance of Biotic vs. Abiotic drivers of local plant community composition along regional bioclimatic gradients
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-06-19)We assessed if the relative importance of biotic and abiotic factors for plant community composition differs along environmental gradients and between functional groups, and asked which implications this may have in a ... -
The importance of feeding in determining the sensitivity of benthic invertebrates to future climate change in the tunicate species Ciona intestinalis
(Master thesis, 2016-03-14)Anthropogenically induced global climate change is one of the worlds biggest threats today, with marine ecosystems particularly vulnerable. In the future, the ocean temperature is expected to rise with 2 °C followed by a ... -
The importance of microbiota and terrestrial inflows in controlling seston C:N:P:O:Si:Ca:Mn:Mg:Fe:K:Na:Cl:S:Cu:Zn stoichiometry of a deep coastal fjord
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Comprehensive fjord-systems represent major extensions of the coastline and are therefore important transfer zones of materials from land to ocean. Despite increased terrestrial inflows to fjords due to climate changes, ... -
The importance of plant macrofossils in the reconstruction of Lateglacial vegetation and climate: examples from Scotland, western Norway, and Minnesota, USA
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2003-03)Lateglacial and early Holocene (ca 14–9000 14C yr BP; 15–10,000 cal yr BP) pollen records are used to make vegetation and climate reconstructions that are the basis for inferring mechanisms of past climate change and for ... -
Importance of radiative transfer processes in urban climate models: A study based on the PALM 6.0 model system
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Including radiative transfer processes within the urban canopy layer into microscale urban climate models (UCMs) is essential to obtain realistic model results. These processes include the interaction of buildings and ... -
The importance of social dimension and maturation stage for the probabilistic maturation reaction norm in Poecilia reticulata
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-10-01)Maturation is an important event in an organism's life history, with important implications on dynamics of both wild and captive populations. The probabilistic maturation reaction norm (PMRN) has emerged as an important ... -
The importance of social dimension and maturation stage for the probabilistic maturation reaction norm in Poecilia reticulata
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-10)Maturation is an important event in an organism's life history, with important implications on dynamics of both wild and captive populations. The probabilistic maturation reaction norm (PMRN) has emerged as an important ... -
The importance of vegetation functional composition in mediating climate change impacts on ecosystem carbon dynamics in alpine grasslands
(Doctoral thesis, 2018-11-08)Climate is changing around the world, and because temperature and water are key drivers of many ecosystem processes this is expected to have significant effects on ecosystem processes and functioning, including ecosystem ... -
The importance of wind forcing in fjord wave modelling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-12-03)Accurate predictions of surface ocean waves in coastal areas are important for a number of marine activities. In complex coastlines with islands and fjords, the quality of wind forcing significantly affects the results. ... -
Important Differences and Potential Synergies between Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine, and the Isolation of Natural Products from Bretschneidera Sinensis
(Master thesis, 2010-05-19)Summary Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been an important medical system in China for thousands of years. Lately, certain techniques like acupuncture and herbal medicines are also becoming increasingly popular in ... -
The important role of sponges in carbon and nitrogen cycling in a deep-sea biological hotspot
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Deep-sea sponge grounds are hotspots of biodiversity, harbouring thriving ecosystems in the otherwise barren deep sea. It remains unknown how these sponge grounds survive in this food-limited environment. Here, we unravel ... -
Improbable but true: the invasive inbreeding ambrosia beetle Xylosandrus morigerus has generalist genotypes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-01)The wide distribution and dominance of invasive inbreeding species in many forest ecosystems seems paradoxical in face of their limited genetic variation. Successful establishment of invasive species in new areas is ... -
Improve auditing and privacy of electronic health records by using blockchain technology
(Master thesis, 2019-06-29)An ever-increasing amount of sensitive patient data is shared between healthcare institutions. The data is strictly personal and the consequences of unintentional disclosure are severe. Recordkeeping systems embedded in ... -
Improved bounds on W−W′ mixing with ATLAS resonant WZ production data at the LHC at √s=13 TeV
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)New charged vector bosons W ′ decaying into gauge boson pairs W Z are predicted in many scenarios of new physics, including models with an extended gauge sector (EGM). Due to the large variety of models (other unification ... -
Improved Combinatorial Bounds and Enumerators for the Connected Vertex Cover and Independent Feedback Vertex Set Problems
(Master thesis, 2018-06-20)In this thesis we shall study both the maximum number of minimal connected vertex covers and the maximum number of minimal independent feedback vertex sets in graphs. A subset S of the vertices of a graph G is a vertex ... -
