Isolation and characterization of nuclear microsatellite loci in the northern shrimp, Pandalus borealis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)We developed and characterized 20 microsatellite primer loci for the northern shrimp Pandalus borealis. All 20 loci were polymorphic with number of alleles ranging from 3 to 36 and with observed heterozygosity between 0.04 ... -
Climate Change and Genetic Structure of Leading Edge and Rear End Populations in a Northwards Shifting Marine Fish Species, the Corkwing Wrasse (Symphodus melops)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)One mechanism by which marine organisms may respond to climate shifts is range shifts. The corkwing wrasse (Symphodus melops) is a temperate fish species, inhabiting the coasts of Europe, that show strong indications of ... -
Inference of potential genetic risks associated with large-scale releases of red sea bream in Kanagawa prefecture, Japan based on nuclear and mitochondrial DNA analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Since 1978, millions of hatchery-reared red sea bream (Pagrus major) juveniles have been released in Sagami Bay and Tokyo Bay in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. The stock enhancement program has contributed to total catch; ... -
Localizing quantum phase slips in one-dimensional Josephson junction chains
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)We studied quantum phase-slip (QPS) phenomena in long one-dimensional Josephson junction series arrays with tunable Josephson coupling. These chains were fabricated with as many as 2888 junctions, where one sample had a ... -
Conservation, Spillover and Gene Flow within a Network of Northern European Marine Protected Areas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)To ensure that marine protected areas (MPAs) benefit conservation and fisheries, the effectiveness of MPA designs has to be evaluated in field studies. Using an interdisciplinary approach, we empirically assessed the design ... -

Phase sticking in one-dimensional Josephson junction chains
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)We studied current-voltage characteristics of long one-dimensional Josephson junction chains with Josephson energy much larger than charging energy, EJ EC. In this regime, typical I-V curves of the samples consist of a ... -
An interdisciplinary school project using a Nintendo Wii controller for measuring car speed
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)This work examines the feasibility of employing a Nintendo Wii game controller for measuring car speed in an interdisciplinary school project. It discusses the physical characteristics of the controller and of vehicle ... -
Lobster and cod benefit from small-scale northern marine protected areas : inference from an empirical before - after control-impact study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Marine protected areas (MPAs) are increasingly implemented as tools to conserve and manage fisheries and target species. Because there are opportunity costs to conservation, there is a need for science-based assessment of ... -

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)One mechanism by which marine organisms may respond to climate shifts is range shifts. The corkwing wrasse (Symphodus melops) is a temperate fish species, inhabiting the coasts of Europe, that show strong indications of ... -
Probabilistic maturation reaction norms assessed from mark-recaptures of wild fish in their natural habitat
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Reaction norms are a valuable tool in evolutionary biology. Lately, the probabilistic maturation reaction norm approach, describing probabilities of maturing at combinations of age and body size, has been much applied for ... -
Habitat effects on population connectivity in a coastal seascape
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Knowing how population connectivity varies across heterogeneous habitats can provide insight into the mechanisms underlying population structuring, and ultimately help to inform conservation and management actions. We ... -
The Nature of Silanol Groups on the Surfaces of Silica, Modified Silica and Some Silica Based Materials
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Silica gel, a material that is produced from the condensation polymerisation of silicic acid, contains surface silanol groups formed during the condensation. The silanol groups on the surface are mostly of free and vicinal ... -
Ocean-scale connectivity and life cycle reconstruction in a deep-sea fish
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)As human exploration and harvesting moves to the high seas, ecological understanding of the deep sea has become a priority, especially in those commercially exploited species whose life cycle, habitat use, and demographic ... -

Seasonal Dynamics of Atlantic Herring (Clupea harengus L.) Populations Spawning in the Vicinity of Marginal Habitats
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Gillnet sampling and analyses of otolith shape, vertebral count and growth indicated the presence of three putative Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus L.) populations mixing together over the spawning season February–June ... -
Preliminary photochemical studies of fluorene in various aqueous media
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)The current study investigates the direct photochemical degradation of aqueous fluorene with the aid of a 125W polychromatic medium, pressure Hg lamp. The purpose was to test the effectiveness of the lamp in irradiation ... -
Comparison of Water Adsorption Characteristics of Oligo and Polysaccharides of α-glucose STUDIED by Near Infrared Spectroscopy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)The adsorption properties of water molecules on oligo and polysaccharides are attributed to the OH groups of the glucose rings in the molecules. The water molecules are adsorbed onto OH groups by hydrogen bond formation. ... -
