Animal fats are preserved at archaeological sites in association with unglazed pottery, human and animal remains, and other deposits or hoards. High-temperature gas chromatography (HT-GC) and combined HT-GC/mass spectrometry (HT-GC/MS) has confirmed the presence of animal fats in lipid extracts of artifacts. Degradation products and pathways have been discerned through the analyses of archaeolo...

Radio communications using ultra wideband (UWB) frequency have rapidly developed since the beginning of the year 2000. This technique offers advantages that made it attractive to a large number of civilian and military applications. The aim of this work is the study of the geometry features of a UWB antenna and the improvement of the bandwidth by inserting slots. To obtain a very large bandwidt...

The use of LA-ICP-MS for uranium determination in the fission track dating technique is becoming increasingly popular because several advantages over classical external detector method and a variety analytical statistical protocols have been developed. However, two important issues remain unresolved context approach (i) how to best deal with low density (ρs) samples, (ii) does correlation betwe...

Norway has been subjected to numerous epidemiological investigations on the prevalence and incidence of multiple sclerosis (MS), dating back to 1935. The objective of this study was to review the studies on the prevalence and incidence of MS in Norway, provide an update on the prevalence of MS in Norway, and describe the time trends in the prevalence and incidence of MS in relation to risk fact...
