The first Agriculture-Vision Challenge aims to encourage research in developing novel and effective algorithms for agricultural pattern recognition from aerial images, especially for the semantic segmentation task associated with our challenge dataset. Around 57 participating teams from various countries compete to achieve state-of-the-art in aerial agriculture semantic segmentation. The Agriculture-Vision ...

Late Pliocene and Early Pleistocene epochs 3.6 to 0.8 million years ago1 had climates resembling those forecasted under future warming2. Palaeoclimatic records show strong polar amplification with mean annual temperatures of 11–19 °C above contemporary values3,4. The biological communities inhabiting the Arctic during this time remain poorly known because fossils are rare5. Here we report an ancient ...

Denne avhandlingen tar for seg 2. bergjegerdivisjons felttoget gjennom Helgeland 1940. Denne divisjonen hadde som mål å komme til unnsetning til Narvik så fort som mulig. General Dietl og hans 3. bergjegerdivisjon var avskåret fra resten av det okkuperte Norge ved våren 1940. I tillegg vil masteroppgaven se på noen utvalgte hendelser ved felttoget i et kontrafaktisk lys for å kunne se hva som kunne ...

The number of economics-related articles in the Scandinavian Journal of Hospitality and Tourism (SJHT) has recently increased considerably. Despite this increase, the research efforts of Nordic economists on tourism issues have lagged behind in an international comparison. The recent increase in the number of economics-related publications in SJHT is due to better access to microdata (individual and ...

Through a critical reading of previous research, this article explores local and indigenous cultures in the context of Nordic Arctic tourism and how its consequences have been researched in Nordic tourism research. We show that experiences with, practices of and controversies over the representation and presence (or absence) of local and indigenous culture in tourism take on very many different ...

Abstract Background Ebola is a filovirus and one of the most virulent organisms identified. It’s a zoonosis with fruit bats as the likeliest reservoir. Pathogen spill-over from infected animals causes human outbreaks with subsequent human-human transmission. The purpose of this thesis is to provide an overview of central aspects of the 2013-2016 West African Ebola Epidemic. Methods This ...

Monitoring the evolution of the space debris environment requires regular radar observations of the space debris population. This study presents the results from 24 hours of beam-park observations of space objects conducted simultaneously with the EISCAT Svalbard and Tromsø radars on and between January 4th and 5th, 2018. The measurements are processed with a new matched filter bank analysis program, ...

The Tonga volcano eruption at 04:14:45 UT on 2022-01-15 released enormous amounts of energy into the atmosphere, triggering very significant geophysical variations not only in the immediate proximity of the epicenter but also globally across the whole atmosphere. This study provides a global picture of ionospheric disturbances over an extended period for at least 4 days. We find traveling ionospheric ...

Studien er en kvalitativ undersøkelse og et kvalitativt forskningsintervju er benyttet som metode i tilvirkningen av data. Undersøkelsen har fokus mot foreldres erfaringer ved å skulle gjennomføre 24 timers posisjonering, inkludert tilpasset sovesystem på natten, for eget barn. Det er relativt lite erfaring her i Norge med å tenke posisjonering hele døgnet for barn med store bevegelsesvansker, og ...

A 24,000-year record of plant community dynamics, based on pollen and ancient DNA from the sediments (<i>seda</i>DNA) of Lake Bolshoye Shchuchye in the Polar Ural Mountains, provides detailed information on the flora of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and also changes in plant community composition and dominance. It greatly improves on incomplete records from short and fragmented stratigraphic sequences ...
