Predator–prey overlap in three dimensions: cod benefit from capelin coming near the seafloor
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Spatial overlap between predator and prey is a prerequisite for predation, but the degree of overlap is not necessarily proportional to prey consumption. This is because many of the behavioural processes that precede ... -
Predictable Variations of the Carbon Sinks and Atmospheric CO2 Growth in a Multi-Model Framework
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Inter-annual to decadal variability in the strength of the land and ocean carbon sinks impede accurate predictions of year-to-year atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) growth rate. Such information is crucial to verify the ... -
Predicting abundance, species richness and assemblages of woodland snails using environmental variables
(Master thesis, 2003)The abundance and diversity of woodland snails (Gastropoda: Pulmonata) were investigated in a large-scale study in Geitaknottane Nature Reserve in Kvam County (Norway). Snails were collected in 132 squares (50 X 50 meters) ... -
Predicting and assessing climate-change impacts on the population dynamics of alpine and lowland forbs
(Doctoral thesis, 2015-05-29)Background and aims: Global climate change is already affecting plant species worldwide. The global rise in temperatures and regional changes in precipitation are predicted to continue throughout the century. Therefore, ... -
Predicting decline of threatened species, invasiveness of alien species, and invasibility of seminatural habitats: A case study from threatened coastal heathlands and semi-natural grasslands in western Norway
(Doctoral thesis, 2019-04-23)Semi-natural habitats are characterised by a large biodiversity, but also associated with a large susceptibility to invasion by non-native species. Coastal heathlands and semi-natural grasslands in Norway, are under pressure ... -
Predicting employee absenteeism for cost effective interventions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)This paper describes a decision support system designed for a Belgian Human Resource (HR) and Well-Being Service Provider. Their goal is to improve health and well-being in the workplace, and to this end, the task is to ... -
Predicting Gene Regulatory Elements in Silico on a Genomic Scale
(Journal article, 1998-05-18)We performed a systematic analysis of gene upstream regions in the yeast genome for occurrences of regular expression-type patterns with the goal of identifying potential regulatory elements. To achieve this goal, we have ... -
Predicting Loss of Inference Accuracy in Bounded Tree-Width Bayesian Networks
(Master thesis, 2019-09-04)A Bayesian network (BN) is a compact way to represent a joint probability distribution graphically. The BN consists of a structure in the form of a directed acyclic graph (DAG) and a set of parameters. The nodes of the DAG ... -
Predicting next day’s production in run-of-river hydropower plants using machine learning
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)This master thesis focuses on time series forecasting using machine learning to predict hourly production in run-of-river hydropower plants. As electrical energy cannot be easily stored, it must be produced and consumed ... -
Predicting the Skin Sensitization Potential of Small Molecules with Machine Learning Models Trained on Biologically Meaningful Descriptors
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In recent years, a number of machine learning models for the prediction of the skin sensitization potential of small organic molecules have been reported and become available. These models generally perform well within ... -
Prediction and analysis of protein structure
(Doctoral thesis, 2010-04-19)This thesis, which contains an introduction and four manuscripts, summarises my efforts during my the past four years to understand proteins, their structure and dynamics. The first manuscript presents a protocol that ... -
Prediction of Harmful Algae Blooms Impacting Shellfish Farms in Norway
(Doctoral thesis, 2023-11-30)Skadelig algeoppblomstring (HAB) forårsaker alvorlig skade på økosystemet og menneskers helse, samt økonomiske konsekvenser for skalldyr og oppdrettsanlegg. Utviklingen av HABs prediksjonsmodeller har blitt økenende populart ... -

Prediction of Polycomb/Trithorax Response Elements using Support Vector Machines
(Master thesis, 2013-06-03)Polycomb/Trithorax Response Elements (PREs) are epigenetic elements that can maintain established transcriptional states over multiple cell divisions. Sequence motifs in known PREs have enabled genome-wide PRE prediction ... -
Prediction of Soft Proton Intensities in the Near-Earth Space Using Machine Learning
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The spatial distribution of energetic protons contributes to the understanding of magnetospheric dynamics. Based upon 17 yr of the Cluster/RAPID observations, we have derived machine-learning-based models to predict the ... -
Prediction of Three-Phase Capillary Pressure using a Network Model Anchored to Two-Phase Data
(Working paper, 2008-04-30)Three-phase capillary pressure is difficult to measure experimentally and therefore has to be estimated by other methods. In this work a network model was applied to generate a consistent set of two-phase and three-phase ... -
Predictive Analysis of Machine Learning Schemes in Forecasting of Offshore Wind
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)High variability of wind in the farm areas causes a drastic instability in the energy markets. Therefore, precise forecast of wind speed plays a key role in the optimal prediction of offshore wind power. In this study, we ... -
Predictive associations between serum fatty acids and lipoproteins in healthy non-obese Norwegians: implications for cardiovascular health
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-01)A battery of methods for multivariate data analysis has been used to assess the associations between concentrations of fatty acids (FAs) and lipoprotein subclasses and particle size in serum for a normolipidemic population ... -
The Predictive Capabilities of the Auroral Electrojet Index for Medium Energy Electron Precipitation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The chemical imprint of the energetic electron precipitation on the atmosphere is now acknowledged as a part of the natural forcing of the climate system. It has, however, been questioned to which degree current proxies ... -
