Linking Sub-Tropical Evaporation and Extreme Precipitation Over East Antarctica: An Atmospheric River Case Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)We investigate an intense snowfall event between 15 and 18 February 2011 over the East Antarctic coastal region which contributed to roughly 24% of the annual snow accumulation. The event was previously associated with an ... -
Linking the basement geology along the Africa-South America coasts in the South Atlantic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-07)The match of geological units of the dissected Kaoko-Dom Feliciano-Gariep orogenic system exposed along the coasts of the South Atlantic is poorly understood. Two suites of intrusive rocks crop out in the Angra Fria Bay ... -
Linking the high-resolution architecture of modern and ancient wave-dominated deltas: Processes, products, and forcing factors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Wave-dominated deltas are often fed by single trunk distributary channels which can remain the primary source of sediment supply to the delta for periods of thousands of years. Consequently, the sedimentary architecture ... -
Links Between Faulting, Topography, and Sediment Production During Continental Rifting: Insights From Coupled Surface Process, Thermomechanical Modeling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Continental rifts form by extension, and their subsequent evolution depends on the tectonic and climatic boundary conditions. We investigate how faulting, topography, and the evolution of the sediment flux during rifting ... -
Lipid Levels During Adult Lifetime in Men and Women With and Without a Subsequent Incident Myocardial Infarction: A Longitudinal Analysis of Data From the Tromsø Study 1974 to 2016
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background The atherosclerotic effect of an adverse lipid profile is assumed to accumulate throughout life, leading to increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI). Still, little is known about age at onset and duration ... -
Lipid production in nannochloropsis gaditana during nitrogen starvation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The microalga Nannochloropsis gaditana is a natural producer of triacylglycerol (TAG) and the omega-3 fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). TAG accumulation is induced by nitrogen starvation. The biomass-specific photon ... -
Lipid transporters and receptor in salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) : Effect of RNAi Knockdown on oogenesis, embryonal development and larval maturation
(Doctoral thesis, 2021-04-23)The salmon louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis, is a marine ectoparasite of salmonids in the Northern Hemisphere. At present, salmon louse infestation is considered as one of the biggest challenges in the salmon farming industry, ... -
Lipider og fettsyrekomposisjon i isbjørn (Ursus maritimus) - Stratifisering og laktering
(Master thesis, 2008-06-18)På Kjemisk Institutt ved Universitetet i Bergen blir det forsket på marine fettsyrer og jeg har vært med på å analysere fettvev fra levende isbjørn (Ursus maritimus). Materialet mottok jeg fra Norsk Polarinstitutt, i form ... -
Liposomal doxorubicin improves radiotherapy response in hypoxic prostate cancer xenografts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-10-07)Background: Tumor vasculature frequently fails to supply sufficient levels of oxygen to tumor tissue resulting in radioresistant hypoxic tumors. To improve therapeutic outcome radiotherapy (RT) may be combined with cytotoxic ... -
Liquid Conductor: Animated Transitions Across Dimensions
(Master thesis, 2023-06-21)This thesis explores the power of visualization in conveying complex data through intuitive visual representations. It investigates the effectiveness of animated transitions in understanding correlations between different ... -
Listvenite formation at Gråberget, east-central Norway. A natural analogue for geological CO2 sequestration involving sulphide mineralization
(Master thesis, 2023-08-04)The migration of hydrothermal CO2-bearing fluids from sedimentary crustal units into tectonically emplaced ultramafic mantle rocks has for a long time been an important topic in geology, due to its association with the ... -
Lithistid demosponges of the North Atlantic : Taxonomy, Diversity and Biogeographic Patterns
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-11-27)Sponges, phylum Porifera Grant, 1836, comprise a group of benthic filter-feeding organisms, which are one of the oldest living groups of metazoans on Earth. Currently, four classes are recognized within the Phylum, of which ... -
Lithological controls on architecture and development of igneous intrusions in sedimentary basins.
(Doctoral thesis, 2023-11-24)Magmatransport i jordskorpen forekommer igjennom magmatiske intrusjoner (siller og diker), som ofte omtales som et magmatisk rørsystem. Disse nettverkene av magma finnes i de fleste sedimentære bassenger over hele verden, ... -
The 'Little Ice Age' – only temperature?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2003)Understanding the climate of the last few centuries, including the 'Little Ice Age', may help us better understand modern-day natural climate variability and make climate predictions. The conventional view of the climate ... -
The ‘Little Ice Age’ advance of Nigardsbreen, Norway: A cross-disciplinary revision of the chronological framework
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)This study presents a cross-disciplinary revision of the Little Ice Age (LIA) advance of Nigardsbreen glacier, an outlet from Jostedalsbreen ice cap in western Norway. The associated glacier foreland is characterised by a ... -
Liver transcriptome analysis of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) exposed to PCB 153 indicates effects on cell cycle regulation and lipid metabolism
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-06-17)Background: Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent organic pollutants (POPs) with harmful effects in animals and humans. Although PCB 153 is one of the most abundant among PCBs detected in animal tissues, its ... -
Liverpool Land Basement High, Greenland: Visualising inputs for fractured crystalline basement reservoir models
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-07-22)Basement highs are large structural features, commonly buried in sedimentary basins (Busby & Azor 2012). They are of interest for natural resources exploration and research because of their ability to influence migration ... -
Living without Beth and Craig: Definitions and Interpolants in Description and Modal Logics with Nominals and Role Inclusions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The Craig interpolation property (CIP) states that an interpolant for an implication exists iff it is valid. The projective Beth definability property (PBDP) states that an explicit definition exists iff a formula stating ... -
