Abstract There is currently a mismatch between the theoretical expectations of peer effects held by many scholars and the quantitative empirical literature. This paper contributes to the understanding of peer effects by highlighting the oft-overlooked conceptual distinc...

Avhandlingen undersøker prosesser som er virksomme i kunnskapsproduksjonen i det tverrfaglige fagmiljøet og i formidlingen ut mot publikum ved Arkeologisk museum, Universitetet i Stavanger. Dette gjør den ved å studere hva som skjer i møter på museets utendørs kunnskaps...

On the Barents Shelf, the northernmost and least explored hydrocarbon province of the Norwegian Continental Shelf, Upper Jurassic organic-rich shales have traditionally been given most attention as these represent the most prolific source rock unit of the region. Howeve...

The success of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating relies to a large extent on suitable characteristics of the analysed mineral, in this case quartz. Previous OSL dating of Quaternary sediments in Scandinavia has shown that quartz characteristics vary widely ...

This article uncovers the existence of discriminatory practices in pre-industrial Spain by examining the fate of twins. The analysis of the complete parish registers of a small rural area (17 villages) shows that female twins were discriminated both at birth and during ...

Accepted manuscript version, licensed CC BY-NC-ND 4.0. Seal integrity is a key property for petroleum exploration. This is even more the case in uplifted basins, as exemplified by the northern Barents Shelf. Uplift may lead to fracturing, decompaction, gas expansion a...

Summary As a contribution to the existing literature on deliberate or unintended neglect, concealment and ignorance regarding significant and enduring public health problems—produced by economic marginality, lack of political power and institutional failures affecting s...

The Triassic Boreal Ocean was a shallow epicontinental basin and the sink of the World's largest delta plain known to date. Nutrient and freshwater supply from this delta have been regarded as important causes for high productivity and water mass stratification, forming...

Interplay of deep-water sedimentary processes is responsible for building a myriad of features and deposits across mixed turbidite–contourite systems, from 200 km long sedimentary drifts. Investigations of the spatial and temporal variability of their sedimentary facies...
