Non-nearest neighbour ICD in clusters
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-04-19)
Interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) is an electronic decay process of excited, ionized systems. It has been shown to occur in a multitude of small and large systems. The effects of more than one possible decay partner are discussed in detail illustrated by simulated ICD electron spectra of NeAr clusters and pure Ne clusters. Hereby, the mostly underestimated contribution of decay with non-nearest ...
Longitudinal reference ranges for maternal plasma laeverin, and its role as a potential biomarker of preeclampsia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-11-25)
Background: Laeverin is a placenta-specific membrane-bound aminopeptidase. In this study we wanted to: 1) serially measure plasma levels of laeverin in healthy women during the second half of pregnancy and postpartum, 2) determine whether laeverin is differently expressed at 22–24 weeks in women who later develop preeclampsia compared to controls, 3) compare laeverin protein expression in placenta ...
CPR knowledge and attitude to performing bystander CPR among secondary school students in Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011-04-13)
Background:<br>Early bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is essential for survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Young people are potentially important bystander CPR providers, as basic life support (BLS) training can be distributed widely as part of the school curriculum.<br>
Methods:<br>Questionnaires were distributed to nine secondary schools in North Norway, and 376 ...
Diet quality scores and prediction of all-cause, cardiovascular and cancer mortality in a pan-european cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-07-13)
Scores of overall diet quality have received increasing attention in relation to disease aetiol-
ogy; however, their value in risk prediction has been little examined. The objective was to assess
and compare the association and predictive performance of 10 diet quality scores on 10-year risk of
all-cause, CVD and cancer mortality in 451,256 healthy participants to the European Prospective ...
Bioactivity Screening of Microalgae for Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory, Anticancer, Anti-Diabetes, and Antibacterial Activities
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-10)
Marine microalgae are considered a potentially new and valuable source of biologically
active molecules for applications in the food industry as well as in the pharmaceutical,
nutraceutical, and cosmetic sectors. They can be easily cultured, have short generation times and
enable an environmentally-friendly approach to drug discovery by overcoming problems associated
with the over-utilization ...
Characterization of a cold-active and salt tolerant esterase identified by functional screening of Arctic metagenomic libraries
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-01-19)
Background: The use of metagenomics in enzyme discovery constitutes a powerful approach to access to genomes
of unculturable community of microorganisms and isolate novel valuable biocatalysts for use in a wide range of
biotechnological and pharmaceutical fields.
Results: Here we present a novel esterase gene (lip3) identified by functional screening of three fosmid metagenomic
libraries, ...
Circulating Vitamin D in relation to cancer incidence and survival of the head and neck and oesophagus in the EPIC cohort
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-11-04)
Experimental and epidemiological data suggest that vitamin D play a role in pathogenesis and
progression of cancer, but prospective data on head and neck cancer (HNC) and oesophagus cancer
are limited. The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study recruited
385,747 participants with blood samples between 1992 and 2000. This analysis includes 497 case-control pairs ...
On the structure and variation of ‘hace’ as a temporal expression
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
The goal of this article is to analyse a case of variation in Spanish. In most varieties, constructions of the form Hace dos días que (“it has been two days since”) reject nominal expressions like todo el día (“all the day”), hence *Hace todo el día que (lit. “it has been all the day that”). However, a particular variety of Argentinean Spanish allows it. This article proposes that in the non-Argentinean ...
Late Quaternary temperature variability described as abrupt transitions on a 1/f noise background
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-03-31)
In order to have a scaling description of the climate system that is not inherently non-stationary, the
rapid shifts between stadials and interstadials during the last glaciation (the Dansgaard-Oeschger events) cannot be included in the scaling law. The same is true for the shifts between the glacial and interglacial states in the Quaternary climate. When these events are omitted from a scaling ...
Study protocol of an RCT of EMOTION: An indicated intervention for children with symptoms of anxiety and depression
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-26)
Background: High levels of anxiety and depression are common psychological symptoms among children
and
adolescents. These symptoms affect young people in multiple life domains and are possible
precursors of long- term psychological distress. Despite relatively high prevalence, few children
with emotional problems are referred for clinical treatment, indicating the need for systematic
prevention. ...
