      Objective - Fat embolism syndrome and cerebral fat emboli are rare yet serious conditions arising from systemic distribution of bone marrow emboli. Emboli are known to produce high-intensity transient signals (HITS) in a Doppler signal. We hypothesized that both intramedullary nailing in pigs and median sternotomy in human infants cause bone marrow release, that some of these cause cerebral emboli, ...
    • The challenge of non-Markovian energy balance models in climate 

      Watkins, Nicholas W.; Calel, Raphael; Chapman, Sandra; Chechkin, Aleksei; Klages, Rainer; Stainforth, David A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-07-30)
      We first review the way in which Hasselmann’s paradigm, introduced in 1976 and recently honored with the Nobel Prize, can, like many key innovations in complexity science, be understood on several different levels. It can be seen as a way to add variability into the pioneering energy balance models (EBMs) of Budyko and Sellers. On a more abstract level, however, it used the original stochastic ...

    • Circadian clock period length is not consistently linked to chronotype in a wild songbird 

      Mizumo Tomotani, Barbara; Strauß, Aurelia F. T.; Kishkinev, Dmitry; van de Haar, Huib; Helm, Barbara (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-09-10)
      Circadian clock properties vary between individuals and relate to variation in entrained timing in captivity. How this variation translates into behavioural differences in natural settings, however, is poorly understood. Here, we tested in great tits whether variation in the free-running period length (tau) under constant dim light (LL) was linked to the phase angle of the entrained rhythm (“ ...

    • Gross Primary Production of Antarctic Landfast Sea Ice: A Model-Based Estimate 

      Wongpan, P.; Meiners, K.M.; Vancoppenolle, M.; Fraser, A.D.; Moreau, Sebastien; Saenz, B.T.; Swadling, K.M.; Lannuzel, D. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-04)
      Much of the Antarctic coast is covered by seasonal landfast sea ice (fast ice), which serves as an important habitat for ice algae. Fast-ice algae provide a key early season food source for pelagic and benthic food webs, and contribute to biogeochemical cycling in Antarctic coastal ecosystems. Summertime fast ice is undergoing a decline, leading to more seasonal fast ice with unknown impacts on ...
