Recent advances in laser technology enable to follow electronic motion at its natural time-scale with ultrafast pulses, leading the way towards atto- and femtosecond spectroscopic experiments of unprecedented resolution. Understanding of these laser-driven processes, which almost inevitably involve non-linear light-matter interactions and non-equilibrium electron dynamics, is challenging and requires ...

Estimation of chlorophyll (CHL) using ocean colour remote sensing (OCRS) signals in coastal waters is difficult due to the presence of two other constituents altering the light signal: coloured dissolved organic material (CDOM) and mineral suspended sediments (MSS). Artificial neural networks (NNs) have the capacity to deal with signal complexity and are a potential solution to the problem. Here ...

Medical research often requires access to sensitive personal health data. According to GDPR, such access is only possible under certain legal bases, such as consent. Verifiable and secure management of health data access is thus essential for promoting public trust in organizations that manage sensitive health data, for ensuring legal compliance, as well as for motivating patients to participate in ...

Pilot for programfinansiering har gitt kommunene et økonomisk handlingsrom og initiativ til å utvikle helhetlige tjenester til utsatte barn og unge og deres familier. I flere av kommunene har det skjedd en betydelig kulturendring. Ledelsen og ansatte på tvers av tjenestene snakker ikke bare om viktigheten av tverrfaglig samarbeid, de har også begynt å endre praksis. Dette betyr at kommunene tilbyr ...

Stability selection represents an attractive approach to identify sparse sets of features jointly associated with an outcome in high-dimensional contexts. We introduce an automated calibration procedure via maximisation of an in-house stability score and accommodating a priori-known block structure (e.g. multi-OMIC) data. It applies to [Least Absolute Shrinkage Selection Operator (LASSO)] penalised ...

Formal approaches tobi-and multilingual grammars rely on two important claims: (i)the grammatical architecture should be able to deal withmonoandbi-/multilingual data without any specific constraints for the latter, (ii)features play a pivotal role in accounting for patterns across and within grammars. In the present paper, it is argued that an exoskeletal approach to grammar, which clearly distinguishes ...

Urbanization dramatically increases the amount of light at night, which may disrupt avian circadian organization. We measured activity patterns of great tits breeding in the city and forest, and subsequently measured two clock properties of these birds under controlled conditions: tau (endogenous circadian clock speed) and after-effects (history dependency of the clock relative to previous conditions). ...

The challenge of achieving ultrafast switching of electric polarization in ferroelectric materials remains unsolved as there is no experimental evidence of such switching to date. In this study, we developed an enhanced model that describes switching within a two-dimensional space of generalized coordinates at THz pulses. Our findings indicate that stable switching in barium titanate cannot be ...

Belief in hidden, intentional agency behind events is fundamentally human. However, the cultural discourses on ‘conspiracy theory’, which has relegated such beliefs to the category of stigmatised knowledge claims of the extreme margins, can mask the ubiquity of such beliefs. Egalitarian, alternative religion therefore has seemed to some a surprising location for conspiracy beliefs. Egil Asprem and ...
