Earlier hatching and slower growth: a key to survival in the early life history of Norwegian spring spawning herring
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-10-02)Faster growth in fish larvae is often associated with enhanced survival, and here we investigated whether surviving juvenile Norwegian spring spawning herring Clupea harengus L. generally come from a pool of fast-growing ... -
Early detection of medical deterioration of patients with diabetes by using machine learning
(Master thesis, 2020-06-27)Diabetes is a growing healthcare problem in the world, which affects over 400 million adults. In collaboration with Haukeland University Hospital, we look at medical records from real patients diagnosed with diabetes. The ... -
Early Holocene Temperature Oscillations Exceed Amplitude of Observed and Projected Warming in Svalbard Lakes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Arctic climate is uniquely sensitive to ongoing warming. The feedbacks that drive this amplified response remain insufficiently quantified and misrepresented in model scenarios of future warming. Comparison with paleotemperature ... -
Early life growth is affecting timing of spawning in the semelparous Barents Sea capelin (Mallotus villosus)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Capelin (Mallotus villosus) is a forage fish and a key species in the Barents Sea (BS). The BS capelin are semelparous and hence only spawn once along the north coasts of Norway and Russia before they die. The age at ... -
Early Pliocene onset of modern Nordic Seas circulation related to ocean gateway changes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-10-28)The globally warm climate of the early Pliocene gradually cooled from 4 million years ago, synchronous with decreasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations. In contrast, palaeoceanographic records indicate that the Nordic Seas ... -
Early post-deglaciation shorelines and sea-level changes along Hardangerfjorden and adjacent fjord areas, W. Norway
(Doctoral thesis, 2008-09-05) -
Early prediction of response to radiotherapy and androgen-deprivation therapy in prostate cancer by repeated functional MRI: a preclinical study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-06-08)Background: In modern cancer medicine, morphological magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is routinely used in diagnostics, treatment planning and assessment of therapeutic efficacy. During the past decade, functional imaging ... -
Early studies on a novel phosphoinositide 3-kinase p110β isoform, and its localisation
(Master thesis, 2020-12-23)Phosphoionositide 3-kinase (PI3K) is a family of enzymes that are part of the PI3K signalling pathway, which is one of the most often altered pathways in human cancer. The PI3K family is divided into three classes, where ... -
Earthquake Damage and Loss Assessment – Predicting the Unpredictable
(Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 2013-05-10) -
Earthquake statistics changed by typhoon-driven erosion
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Tectonics and climate-driven surface processes govern the evolution of Earth’s surface topography. Topographic change in turn influences lithospheric deformation, but the elementary scale at which this feedback can be ... -
Earthquake triggered submarine slides in Norway
(Master thesis, 2017-12-16)Towards the end of the last glacial period, several episodes of submarine mass failures has taken place both in Norwegian fjords and on the continental shelf. Submarine mass failures have the potential of generating tsunamis ... -
Earthquakes track subduction fluids from slab source to mantle wedge sink
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Subducting plates release fluids as they plunge into Earth’s mantle and occasionally rupture to produce intraslab earthquakes. It is debated whether fluids and earthquakes are directly related. By combining seismic ... -
Easily Achievable Methods for Making Superamphiphobic Surfaces
(Master thesis, 2018-06-27)Superamphiphobic materials have surfaces that display a contact angle above 150° for both low and high-tension liquids [1]. Superamphiphobic surfaces present exciting and innovative properties for commercial and industrial ... -
East Asian summer monsoon precipitation variability since the last deglaciation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-06-18)The lack of a precisely-dated, unequivocal climate proxy from northern China, where precipitation variability is traditionally considered as an East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) indicator, impedes our understanding of the ... -
The East Greenland Current studied with CFCs and released sulphur hexafluoride
(Journal article, 2005-03)The distribution and evolution of water masses along the East Greenland Current (EGC) from south of the Fram Strait to the Denmark Strait were investigated using chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and the released tracer sulphur ... -

Eastern boundary circulation and hydrography off Angola. Building Angolan oceanographic capacities
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-09-06)The eastern boundary region off Angola encompasses a highly productive ecosystem important for the food security of the coastal population. The fish-stock distribution, however, undergoes large variability on intraseasonal, ... -
The ecdysone receptor (EcR) is a major regulator of tissue development and growth in the marine salmonid ectoparasite, Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Copepoda, Caligidae)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-08)The function of the ecdysone receptor (EcR) during development and molting has been thoroughly investigated in some arthropods such as insects but rarely in crustacean copepods such as the salmon louse Lepeophtheirus ... -
Ecological adaptation in Atlantic herring is associated with large shifts in allele frequencies at hundreds of loci
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Atlantic herring is widespread in North Atlantic and adjacent waters and is one of the most abundant vertebrates on earth. This species is well suited to explore genetic adaptation due to minute genetic differentiation at ...
