(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The IceCube collaboration reported an ~3.5σ excess of 13 ± 5 neutrino events in the direction of the blazar TXS 0506+056 during an ~6 month period in 2014–2015, as well as the (~3σ) detection of a high-energy muon neutrino ... -
Comprehensive Multimessenger Modeling of the Extreme Blazar 3HSP J095507.9+355101 and Predictions for IceCube
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)3HSP J095507.9+355101 is an extreme blazar that has been possibly associated with a high-energy neutrino (IceCube-200107A) detected 1 day before the blazar was found to undergo a hard X-ray flare. We perform a comprehensive ... -
Gamma-ray counterparts of 2WHSP high-synchrotron-peaked BL Lac objects as possible signatures of ultra-high-energy cosmic ray emission
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)We present a search for high-energy γ-ray emission from 566 Active Galactic Nuclei at redshift z > 0.2, from the 2WHSP catalogue of high-synchrotron peaked BL Lac objects with 8 yr of Fermi-LAT data. We focus on a redshift ... -
Microfluidic channels for biomedical diagnostic devices
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2021:54, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Disease detection is of utmost importance for initiating appropriate treatment and efficient preventative measures. Therefore, providing an inexpensive, fast and robust alternative to the current detection techniques, ... -
Contact-free reversible switching of improper ferroelectric domains by electron and ion irradiation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Focused ion beam (FIB) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are used to reversibly switch improper ferroelectric domains in the hexagonal manganite ErMnO3. Surface charging is achieved by local ion (positive charging) ... -
Hypoxia imaging and theranostic potential of [64Cu][Cu(ATSM)] and ionic Cu(II) salts: a review of current evidence and discussion of the retention mechanisms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background Tumor hypoxia (low tissue oxygenation) is an adverse condition of the solid tumor environment, associated with malignant progression, radiotherapy resistance, and poor prognosis. One method to detect tumor ... -
Structure and properties of densified silica glass: characterizing the order within disorder
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The broken symmetry in the atomic-scale ordering of glassy versus crystalline solids leads to a daunting challenge to provide suitable metrics for describing the order within disorder, especially on length scales beyond ... -
Sex differences and tumor blood flow from dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI are associated with treatment response after chemoradiation and long-term survival in rectal cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Sex differences, tumor vascularity, and blood flow seen on multiecho dynamic contrast–based MRI scans enabled prediction of treatment response and overall survival in patients with rectal cancer. Background: MRI is the ... -
Focused ultrasound and microbubble treatment increases delivery of transferrin receptor-targeting liposomes to the brain
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a major obstacle to treating several brain disorders. Focused ultrasound (FUS) in combination with intravascular microbubbles increases BBB permeability by opening tight junctions, creating ... -
Fluorescent Nanocomposites: Hollow Silica Microspheres with Embedded Carbon Dots
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Intrinsically fluorescent carbon dots may form the basis for a safer and more accurate sensor technology for digital counting in bioanalytical assays. This work presents a simple and inexpensive synthesis method for producing ... -
Biological lipid nanotubes and their potential role in evolution
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The membrane of cells and organelles are highly deformable fluid interfaces, and can take on a multitude of shapes. One distinctive and particularly interesting property of biological membranes is their ability to from ... -
