Responses of European lobster (Homarus gammarus) and lobster fishers to protective management

2017

Master's thesis Aquatic Ecology BIO500 - University of Agder 2017 Marine protected areas (MPAs) are valued for their conservation benefits to harvested species. However, potential benefits of MPAs to neighboring fisheries are less well-understood. This study quantifies how the European lobster (Homarus gammarus) and the fishery for this valued catch respond to the establishment of a relatively small (5.2 km2) MPA on the Norwegian Skagerrak coast. A series of yearly standardized trap surveys was conducted to estimate lobster abundance and catch weights both inside and outside the MPA before (2010- 2011) and after the MPA was established (2012-2016). Lobster abundance and catch weights were d…

Ni61Mössbauer study of the hyperfine magnetic field near the Ni surface

1987

$^{61}\mathrm{Ni}$ M\"ossbauer measurements have been performed at 4.2 K on spherical Ni particles covered with a protective layer of SiO, with average diameter of 500 and 50 \AA{}. The hyperfine magnetic field at $^{61}\mathrm{Ni}$ nuclei for 500-\AA{} particles has been found to be 78.3(4) kOe, compared with the field for Ni foil of 75.0(2) kOe. The small difference is due to the demagnetization and dipolar fields in 500-\AA{} particles. The spectrum of 50-\AA{} particles has a surface component with the corresponding value of the hyperfine magnetic field of 40.3(5.4) kOe. This strongly indicates that, in accordance with recent theoretical studies, there is a decrease of the hyperfine mag…

The preparation and identification of phases from the tin(II) chloride glycylglycinate system

1982

Abstract Two new distinct products, SnCl 2 ·2(C 4 H 8 N 2 O 3 ) and ClSn(C 4 H 7 N 2 O 3 ) can be obtained from the SnCl 2 : C 4 H 8 N 2 O 3 system. The IR, 119 Sn Mossbauer and thermal analytical data for the products are reported and discussed in terms of the bonding in these compounds.

Power profiles in multifocal contact lenses with variable multifocal zone

2016

BACKGROUND The power profile of multifocal contact lenses has been demonstrated to report important information that could be used during the fitting process. The aim of this work is to describe the power profile of a recent set of gas permeable multifocal contact lenses as a function of the pupil radius. METHODS The measured multifocal contact lenses have a centre-distance design, and are available with five distance-vision diameters (XS, S, M, L and XL) and two different additions: Type A (up to +2.00 D) and Type B (up to +2.50 D). The optical device NIMO TR1504 (Lambda-X, Nivelles, Belgium) was used to obtain the power profile measurements. The optical lens power distribution as a functi…

Monoclonal anti-fosB antibody specific for predetermined, nonstructural region of the fosB protein.

1997

Comparison of the primary structures and theoretical prediction of the potential antigenic determinant of the deduced Fos proteins reveals the presence of a nonstructural and hydrophilic region juxtaposed to the leucine zipper and nonconserved among the Fos protein family. To develop monoclonal anti-peptide antibodies capable of distinguishing all Fos-proteins, synthetic peptides specific for the mentioned predicted region were synthesized manually by the "tea-bag" method. Immunization of Balb/c mice with fosB-related synthetic peptide BSA gave rise to mouse hybridoma cell line K21 (IgG1, kappa) secreting highly specific antibodies against corresponding human fosB protein. Fine mapping of t…

Kartlegging av laks og ørret i kystvassdrag i Agder ved studier av miljø-DNA

2021

Master's thesis in Coastal ecology (BIO501) Both Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and Brown trout (Salmo trutta) spawn in freshwaters, and availability to water courses of good water quality is of great importance for the Salmonidae populations. The industrial revolution introduced release of considerable amounts of sulphur and nitrogen taken up by the environments, including aquatic habitats. Through the 20thcentury, the pH levels dramatically dropped while levels of toxic aluminium rose in the freshwaters. The acidic and toxic waters strongly affected the salmon populations, and several of the stocks of south Norwegian rivers were eliminated. The trout, however, have managed the decrease in …

Electric hyperfine interaction in199Hg fluorides

1985

With the current integration technique, the Mossbauer effect on the 158 keV, 5/2−→1/2− transition in199Hg was studied using the cubic HgF2 and the tetragonal Hg2F2 as absorbers; in the latter, a quadrupole splittingeQVzz=}- 9.0(2) mm/s was observed. Electron densities were calculated with the self-consistent-charge-extended-Hueckel-molecular-orbital method and δ〈r2〉=(3.26±0.11) fm2 derived. From the quadrupole splitting and the calculation, an effective antishielding factor almost twice that of the neutral Hg atom is derived.

Diagnostic and prognostic value of three micrornas in environmental asbestiform fibers-associated malignant mesothelioma

2021

Fluoro-edenite (FE) is an asbestiform fiber identified in Biancavilla (Sicily, Italy). Environmental exposure to FE has been associated with a higher incidence of malignant mesothelioma (MM). The present study aimed to validate the predicted diagnostic significance of hsa-miR-323a-3p, hsa-miR-101-3p, and hsa-miR-20b-5p on a subset of MM patients exposed to FE and matched with healthy controls. For this purpose, MM tissues vs. nonmalignant pleura tissues were analyzed through droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) to evaluate differences in the expression levels of the selected miRNAs and their MM diagnostic potential. In addition, further computational analysis has been performed to establish the corr…
