  2. 1. The layer that did not swim away : Broadband acoustic discrimination and characterization of ocean stratification

    Author : Elizabeth Reed-Weidner; Martin Jakobsson; Richard Hobbs; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Acoustical Oceanography; acoustics; oceanography; stratification; remote sensing; maringeologi; Marine Geology;

    Abstract : Ocean stratification plays a critical role in many oceanographic processes. The magnitude of mixing between stable water masses is regulated, in part, by the intensity of stratification. READ MORE

  6. 4. Genetic and molecular mechanisms of sarcomas

    Author : Yi Chen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sarcomas are heterogeneous malignant mesenchymal tumors with diverse biological features and unique clinical characteristics, the genetic alterations of sarcomas are highly variable. With the development of sequencing technologies, efficient and practical approaches to detect gene expressions and gene variants contribute to the prediction of patient prognosis and the choice of treatment modalities.

  7. 5. From alpha to beta ocean: Exploring the role of surface buoyancy fluxes and seawater thermal expansion in setting the upper ocean stratification

    Author : Romain Caneill; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ocean stratification; Thermal expansion coefficient; Buoyancy fluxes; Transition zone; Alpha – beta ocean;

    Abstract : The ocean plays a central role in the climate system by absorbing excess anthropogenic heat and carbon dioxide. Moreover, the ocean circulation distributes heat from the tropics towards the poles. Due to the large ocean stratification, vertical exchanges between the ocean interior and the surface are limited.
