Hydrates in petroleum production - Assessment of Plug Risk

During transport of oil, gas and water in pipelines, solid gas hydrate plugs may form when the conditions are within the thermodynamic range of stability of natural gas hydrates. The cost of hydrate prevention is often a project stopper for small field de velopments. However, the presence of oil ...

Zooplankton life cycles at high latitudes: how is seasonal food availability and predation pressure affecting fat storing strategies?

Animals at high latitudes often face the challenge of a short feeding season. Many marine copepods are adapted to such environments. They produce large fat sacs which serve as energy stores for the winter, and the winter is spent in relatively safe habita ts where activity is reduced and metaboli...

Molecular and electrophysiological characterization of the GnRH systems in Atlantic cod

Teleosts are unique among vertebrates regarding neural control of the adenohypophysis. The cells are directly innervated instead of receiving their input through a portal system. Furthermore, the distribution of the different cell types in the adenohypoph ysis in teleosts is highly regionalized, ...

Alphavirus (Togaviridae) fra laksefisk i norsk oppdrett. Karakterisering, vertikal overføring og studie av vevs/celle-tropisme.

Salmon pancreas disease (SPD) ble først beskrevet fra Skottland i 1984, men var sannsynligvis tilstede i oppdrett av laks i Skottland så tidlig som i 1976. I 1990 ble det vist at sykdommen hadde en infeksiøs årsak. Senere, i 1995, ble det klart at sykdomm en skyldes et togaviruslignende agens som...
