Abstract:
A helix that expands on cooling: The crystal structure of TrpGly⋅H2O consists of helical peptide nanotubes extending throughout the crystal. The thermal expansion is negative in the helical direction (see graph; a axis: red, c axis: blue). This effect is believed to be linked to the increasing order of water molecules enclosed in the helices.Keywords:

The aim of the present study is to examine similarities and differences in the use of particle verbs (PVs) between advanced bilingual L2 users of Norwegian (L1 Finnish) in their teens and Norwegian L1 speakers of the same age. The data consists of three writing tasks (email messages) written by 6 bilingual Finnish -Norwegian participants and 6 native speakers of Norwegian. Previous research has shown that second language (L2) users, who are highly advanced, face problems using multi-word expressions. For example, they tend to use less PVs than native speakers. The advanced bilingual L2 users of Norwegian (L1 Finnish) in the present study also show a slight tendency to use fewer PVs than the native speakers. However, the Finnish-Norwegian participants used some more idiomatic PVs than the native speakers of Norwegian. The results show that advanced bilingual users of Norwegian who live in an L2 environment and receive a great amount of natural input and output from an early age utilized PVs in a manner congruent to native speakers. Despite differences between the Finnish and Norwegian languages, there are also similarities with regard to PVs. The bilingual participants are familiar with PVs in their first language, Finnish, and they may benefit from that, even though these verbs are not as frequent in Finnish as in Norwegian.

This paper shortly outlines the present status of English in Norway, principally in relation to the growing presence of English lexical borrowings in Norwegian. Some attention will also be devoted to the views held by Norwegian linguists towards the potential threat that the English language represents, particularly in domains where it is likely to supersede the Norwegian language.

In this short paper an attempt is made to bring to light examples of Swedish influence on Norwegian hydrological knowledge before the Swedish-Norwegian union in 1814. Dano-Norwegian topographic literature from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries is used as source. Publications by Swedish scientists were read and used as references by Norwegian writers during that period. The examples given illustrate the state of hydrological knowledge in the Scandinavian countries two to three hundred years ago.

Abstract The statistical Bureau of the Norwegian Life Assurance Companies has previously issued two publications on the mortality among Norwegian assured lives1. As a third instalment of the statistical experiences of the Norwegian Life Assurance Companies the Statistical Bureau has now published Norwegian Disability Experiences until 1935. An abstract from the lastnamed publication will be given below.

This article seeks to characterize Norwegian kindergarten pedagogy as specifically Rousseauian in nature and approach. As a reflective article, my experience of pedagogical methods of play employed at an outdoor kindergarten in Norway are analyzed and compared to my experience of American schooling. Norwegian kindergartens that employ such Rousseauian practices reinforce Norway's dedication to fostering an egalitarian society beginning with the youngest learners.
