Phaeoviruses Present in Cultured and Natural Kelp Species, Saccharina latissima and Laminaria hyperborea (Phaeophyceae, Laminariales), in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Phaeoviruses (Phycodnaviridae) are large icosahedral viruses in the phylum Nucleocytoviricota with dsDNA genomes ranging from 160 to 560 kb, infecting multicellular brown algae (Phaeophyceae). The phaeoviral host range is ... -
Characterisation of HNF1A variants in paediatric diabetes in Norway using functional and clinical investigations to unmask phenotype and monogenic diabetes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Aims/hypothesis Correctly diagnosing MODY is important, as individuals with this diagnosis can discontinue insulin injections; however, many people are misdiagnosed. We aimed to develop a robust approach for determining ... -
Risk assessment and antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 in healthcare workers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background: Preventing infection in healthcare workers (HCWs) is crucial for protecting healthcare systems during the COVID-19 pandemic. Here, we investigated the seroepidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 in HCWs in Norway with ... -
A Cold Climate Wooden Home and Conflagration Danger Index: Justification and Practicability for Norwegian Conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The vast majority of fire-related deaths occur in residential buildings. Until recently, the fire risk for these buildings was only considered through static risk assessments or period-based assessments applying to certain ... -
Modelling breakdown of industrial thermal insulation during fire exposure
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The aging of many of the installations in the oil and gas industry may increase the likelihood of loss of containment of flammable substances, which could lead to major accidents. Flame temperatures in a typical hydrocarbon ... -
