Variation in first-generation L1 deictic systems: Language attrition and bilingualism effects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Aims and Objectives: This study explored the extent to which bilingual language exposure and practice might alter the way in which bilingual first-generation adult speakers use deictic demonstratives in their first language ... -
Variation in general supportive and preventive intensive care management of traumatic brain injury: a survey in 66 neurotrauma centers participating in the Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research in Traumatic Brain Injury (CENTER-TBI) study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background General supportive and preventive measures in the intensive care management of traumatic brain injury (TBI) aim to prevent or limit secondary brain injury and optimize recovery. The aim of this survey was to ... -
Variation in generation time reveals density regulation as an important driver of pace of life in a bird metapopulation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Generation time determines the pace of key demographic and evolutionary processes. Quantified as the weighted mean age at reproduction, it can be studied as a life-history trait that varies within and among populations and ... -
Variation in language mixing in multilingual aphasia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Mixing languages within a sentence or a conversation is a common practice among many speakers of multiple languages. Language mixing found in multilingual speakers with aphasia has been suggested to reflect deficits ... -
Variation in MHC genotypes in two populations of house sparrow (Passer domesticus) with different population histories
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)Small populations are likely to have a low genetic ability for disease resistance due to loss of genetic variation through inbreeding and genetic drift. In vertebrates, the highest genetic diversity of the immune system ... -
Variation in Natural Kind Concepts
(Chapter, 2020)Since Kripke's and Putnam's work in the 1970's, most philosophers have assumed that our natural kind concepts are externally individuated. However, both psychologists and philosophers have questioned this assumption, partly ... -
Variation in neurosurgical management of traumatic brain injury: a survey in 68 centers participating in the CENTER-TBI study.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background Neurosurgical management of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is challenging, with only low-quality evidence. We aimed to explore differences in neurosurgical strategies for TBI across Europe. Methods A survey ... -
Variation in predicting pantograph–catenary interaction contact forces, numerical simulations and field measurements
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The contact force between the pantograph and the contact wire ensures energy transfer between the two. Too small of a force leads to arching and unstable energy transfer, while too large of a force leads to unnecessary ... -
Variation in serum PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9), cardiovascular disease risk, and an investigation of potential unanticipated effects of PCSK9 inhibition
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9) inhibitors reduce serum LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol (LDL-C) by increasing uptake in the liver. Although some long-term trials have evaluated their safety, ... -
Variation in the ontogenetic allometry of horn length in bovids along a body mass continuum
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Allometric relationships describe the proportional covariation between morphological, physiological, or life-history traits and the size of the organisms. Evolutionary allometries estimated among species are expected to ... -
Variation in the practice of tracheal intubation in Europe after traumatic brain injury: a prospective cohort study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Traumatic brain injury patients frequently undergo tracheal intubation. We aimed to assess current intubation practice in Europe and identify variation in practice. We analysed data from patients with traumatic brain injury ... -
Variation in trends of consumption based carbon accounts
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The UNFCCC requires the annual reporting of greenhouse gas emissions. These inventories focus on emissions within a territory, and do not capture the effect of emissions embodied in imports. Consumption based carbon ... -
Variation of elastic energy shows reliable signal of upcoming catastrophic failure
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)We consider the Equal-Load-Sharing Fiber Bundle Model as a model for composite materials under stress and derive elastic energy and damage energy as a function of strain. With gradual increase of stress (or strain) the ... -
Variation of Legionella spp. with Lake Depth and Season in Two Norwegian Drinking Water Sources
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022) -
Variational Anisotropic Gradient-Domain Image Processing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Gradient-domain image processing is a technique where, instead of operating directly on the image pixel values, the gradient of the image is computed and processed. The resulting image is obtained by reintegrating the ... -
Variational Approach for Capsule Video Frame Interpolation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Capsule video endoscopy, which uses a wireless camera to visualize the digestive tract, is emerging as an alternative to traditional colonoscopy. Colonoscopy is considered as the gold standard for visualizing the colon and ... -
Variational based smoke removal in laparoscopic images
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background In laparoscopic surgery, image quality can be severely degraded by surgical smoke, which not only introduces errors for the image processing algorithms (used in image guided surgery), but also reduces the ... -
Variational formulations, model comparisons and numerical methods for Euler–Bernoulli micro- and nano-beam models
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)As a first step, variational formulations and governing equations with boundary conditions are derived for a pair of Euler–Bernoulli beam bending models following a simplified version of Mindlin’s strain gradient elasticity ... -
Variational image regularization with Euler's elastica using a discrete gradient scheme
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This paper concerns an optimization algorithm for unconstrained nonconvex problems where the objective function has sparse connections between the unknowns. The algorithm is based on applying a dissipation preserving ... -
Variational Inference over Nonstationary Data Streams for Exponential Family Models
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In many modern data analysis problems, the available data is not static but, instead, comes in a streaming fashion. Performing Bayesian inference on a data stream is challenging for several reasons. First, it requires ...
