Growing with dinosaurs: natural products from the Cretaceous relict Metasequoia glyptostroboides Hu & Cheng - a molecular reservoir from the ancient world with potential in modern medicine
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-02-22)After the sensational rediscovery of living exemplars of the Cretaceous relict Metasequoia glyptostroboides—a tree previously known exclusively from fossils from various locations in the northern hemisphere, there has been ... -
Growth and competition in a warmer ocean: a field experiment with a non-native and two native habitat-building seaweeds
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-06-21)Kelps and fucoids are important members of temperate seaweed communities, but may be negatively impacted by climate change and non-native species. We used a field experiment to investigate the effect of higher temperatures ... -
Growth and diel vertical migration patterns of the toxic dinoflagellate Protoceratium reticulatum in a water column with salinity stratification: the role of bioconvection and light
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-11-12)Novel data on growth and migratory behaviour of a southern Norwegian strain of Protoceratium reticulatum (Dinophyceae) were obtained from long-lasting (14-22 d) experiments in a water column with salinity gradient (ΔS = 4 ... -
Growth and energy metabolism in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), with possible positive effects of starvation at elevated temperature
(Master thesis, 2014-02-25)Due to global warming, the sea water temperature will probably increase, which may affect cold- water species like Atlantic salmon. It is therefore of great importance to see how elevated temperature will affect the growth ... -
Growth and retreat of the last British–Irish Ice Sheet, 31 000 to 15 000 years ago: the BRITICE-CHRONO reconstruction
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The BRITICE-CHRONO consortium of researchers undertook a dating programme to constrain the timing of advance, maximum extent and retreat of the British–Irish Ice Sheet between 31 000 and 15 000 years before present. The ... -
Growth characteristics and morphology of Paramoeba perurans from Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. and ballan wrasse Labrus bergylta in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background Paramoeba perurans is the causative agent of amoebic gill disease (AGD) in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. and many other farmed marine fish species worldwide. The first cases of AGD in Norway were reported in ... -
Growth Differentiation Factor 15 in Children with Chronic Kidney Disease and after Renal Transplantation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) is strongly associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim of our study was to evaluate plasma and urinary levels of GDF-15 after pediatric renal transplantation (Rtx) and ... -
Growth dynamics of the vestibular schwannoma
(Doctoral thesis, 2012-04-12)Introduction: Studies concerning vestibular schwannoma (VS) are inconsistent in reporting of tumor size and growth. This means that results found in one paper using one set of definitions cannot be compared directly with ... -
Growth effects of exclusive breastfeeding promotion by peer counsellors in sub-Saharan Africa: the cluster-randomised PROMISE EBF trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-06-21)Background: In this multi-country cluster-randomized behavioural intervention trial promoting exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) in Africa, we compared growth of infants up to 6 months of age living in communities where peer ... -
Growth in children conceived by ART
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)STUDY QUESTION Is the growth pattern of children conceived by ART different compared to naturally conceived children. SUMMARY ANSWER Both ART and underlying parental subfertility may contribute to differences in early ... -
Growth of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) under different regimes of continuous aerobic exercise
(Master thesis, 2023-06-02)To ensure the Atlantic salmon aquaculture industry's sustainable growth, the development and implementation of new production strategies is needed. A strategy that has been adopted by the industry to intensify the salmon’s ... -
Growth of collisional orogens from small and cold to large and hot ‐ inferences from geodynamic models
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)It is well documented that the interplay between crustal thickening and surface processes determines growth of continent-continent collision orogens from small and cold to large and hot. Additionally, studies have demonstrated ... -
Growth of glioblastoma xenografts in the brains of NOD/SCID mice following administration of a demyelinating agent
(Master thesis, 2011-06-16)Background: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is an incurable and fatal brain cancer with short median survival. Due to the infiltrative growth into the surrounding brain parenchyma, radical surgery is not possible and their ... -
Growth of HIV-exposed and HIV–unexposed children in South Africa. Anthropometric nutritional status and growth rates
(Doctoral thesis, 2017-12-04)Background and objectives South Africa is characterised by colliding epidemics of non-communicable and communicable diseases. Additionally, the prevalence of stunting, which affects almost a third of children under-five, ... -
Growth performance and welfare of post-smolt (Salmo salar L.) reared in semi closed containment systems (S-CCS) – a comparative study
(Master thesis, 2020-06-23)The salmon industry faces challenges related to sea lice infestations, escapees, diseases and environmental impact. Semi closed containment systems (S-CCS) have been proposed to abate these challenges. In the S-CCS, cultured ... -
Growth Performance, Nutrient Digestibility, and Retention in Atlantic Salmon, Salmo salar L., Fed Diets with Fermented Sugar Kelp, Saccharina latissima
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Using low trophic marine resources such as sugar kelp (Saccharina latissimi) is of great interest to increase the circular food production in the ocean. Sugar kelp does, however, contain high levels of carbohydrates and ... -
Growth portfolios buffer climate-linked environmental change in marine systems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Large-scale, climate-induced synchrony in the productivity of fish populations is becoming more pronounced in the world's oceans. As synchrony increases, a population's “portfolio” of responses can be diminished, in turn ... -
