A Sensory-Motor Control Model of Animal Flight Explains Why Bats Fly Differently in Light Versus Dark

Bar, Nadav; Skogestad, Sigurd; Marçal, Jose M.; Ulanovsky, Nachum; Yovel, Yossi (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)

Animal flight requires fine motor control. However, it is unknown how flying animals rapidly transform noisy sensory information into adequate motor commands. Here we developed a sensorimotor control model that explains ...

Core Decomposition Analysis of Weighted Biological Networks

Eidsaa, Marius (Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2016:162, Doctoral thesis, 2016)

Summary of thesis: English version: In biology, advanced, high-throughput experimental methods are becoming faster, cheaper and more accessible. Effective network analysis tools applicable to a broad range of networks ...

Dynamics of Regulatory Networks in Gastrin-Treated Adenocarcinoma Cells

Doni, Jayavelu Naresh; Bar, Nadav (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)

Understanding gene transcription regulatory networks is critical to deciphering the molecular mechanisms of different cellular states. Most studies focus on static transcriptional networks. In the current study, we used ...

Genomic characterization of the most barotolerant Listeria monocytogenes RO15 strain compared to reference strains used to evaluate food high pressure processing

Duru, Ilhan Cem; Andreevskaya, Margarita; Laine, Pia; Rode, Tone Mari; Ylinen, Anne; Løvdal, Trond Karsten; Bar, Nadav; Crauwels, Peter; Riedel, Christian U.; Bucur, Florentina Ionela; Nicolau, Anca Ioana; Auvinen, Petri (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)

Background: High pressure processing (HPP; i.e. 100–600 MPa pressure depending on product) is a non-thermal preservation technique adopted by the food industry to decrease significantly foodborne pathogens, including ...

Intracellular pHluorin as Sensor for Easy Assessment of Bacteriocin-Induced Membrane-Damage in Listeria monocytogenes

Crauwels, Peter; Schäfer, Leonie; Weixler, Dominik; Bar, Nadav; Diep, Dzung B.; Riedel, Christian U.; Seibold, Gerd M. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)

Bacteriocins are antimicrobial peptides naturally produced by many bacteria and were shown to be effective against various pathogens including Listeria monocytogenes. L. monocytogenes is a food-borne pathogen that frequently ...

Iterative sub-network component analysis enables reconstruction of large scale genetic networks

Jayavelu, Naresh Doni; Aasgaard, Lasse Svenkerud; Bar, Nadav (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)

Background: Network component analysis (NCA) became a popular tool to understand complex regulatory networks. The method uses high-throughput gene expression data and a priori topology to reconstruct transcription factor ...

Long-term prediction of fish growth under varying ambient temperature using a multiscale dynamic model

Bar, Nadav; Radde, Nicole (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009)

Background: Feed composition has a large impact on the growth of animals, particularly marine fish. We have developed a quantitative dynamic model that can predict the growth and body composition of marine fish for a ...

Metaheuristic Parameter Estimation - Using Parallel Computing and MPI

Jenssen, Erlend (Master thesis, 2018)

Arguably, bats have the most sophisticated powered flight mechanism among animals. By mimicking their low-frequency dynamics, significant improvements can be made in energy efficiency, reliability and flexibility of ...

Personalized medicine for patients with COPD: where are we?

Franssen, Frits M. E.; Alter, Peter; Bar, Nadav; Benedikter, Birke J.; Iurato, Stella; Maier, Dieter; Maxheim, Michael; Rössler, Fabienne; Spruit, Martijn A.; Vogelmeier, Claus F.; Wouters, Emiel F. M.; Schmeck, Bernd (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)

Chronic airflow limitation is the common denominator of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, it is not possible to predict morbidity and mortality of individual patients based on the degree ...
