Detection of Nrf2 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells: comparison and application of two methods
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-11-01)Protein nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a transcription factor that regulates expression of numerous proteins. These proteins protect cells against oxidative stress and reinstate cellular homeostasis. ... -
Sensitivity analysis of a pathway with respect to fast and small temperature change
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Temperature affects all enzymes simultaneously in a metabolic system. The enzyme concentration in a biochemical system can be considered as invariant under fast and small temperature change. Therefore, the total sensitivity ... -
Challenges with Gas Hydrate Formation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Many multiphase flow lines are prone to hydrate formation unless prevention methods are put in place. Chemical management of hydrate formation is traditionally done with thermodynamic hydrate inhibitors but in the last 25 ... -
Nitrogen doped Carbon Nanotubes as Electrocatalyst for Oxygen Reduction Reaction
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The oxygen reduction reaction on nitrogen doped multiwalled carbon nanotubes (N-MCNTs) is studied for its application for deoxygenation of seawater. N-MCNTs were synthesized using commercial MCNTs and polyaniline as nitrogen ... -
Insights into the potential of the Atlantic cod gut microbiome as biomarker of oil contamination in the marine environment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Microorganisms are widespread in all environments, including in and on animal bodies. The gut microbiome has an essential influence on fish health, and is affected by several persistent and harmful organic and ... -
Highly thermostable carboxylic acid reductases generated by ancestral sequence reconstruction
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Carboxylic acid reductases (CARs) are biocatalysts of industrial importance. Their properties, especially their poor stability, render them sub-optimal for use in a bioindustrial pipeline. Here, we employed ancestral ... -
Interleukin-1-related activity and hypocretin-1 in cerebrospinal fluid contribute to fatigue in primary Sjögren's syndrome
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background Fatigue is a common and sometimes debilitating phenomenon in primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) and other chronic inflammatory diseases. We aimed to investigate how IL-1 β-related molecules and the neuropeptide ... -
Validation study of MARCKSL1 as a prognostic factor in lymph node-negative breast cancer patients
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Protein expression of Myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate like-1 (MARCKSL1) has been identified as a prognostic factor in lymph-node negative (LN-) breast cancer patients. We aim to validate MARCKSL1 protein ... -
Synergy Effect Study of Poly(N-isoacrylamide) with Tetra Butyl Phosphonium Bromide on Methane Hydrate Formation
(Journal article, 2019)Natural gas hydrate plugging is one of the costly and challenging problems for the oil and gas industry, especially for subsea fields. One way to prevent gas hydrate formation at low cost is the use of low-dosage hydrate ... -
Spatial and temporal axes impact ecology of the gut microbiome in juvenile European lobster (Homarus gammarus)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Microbial communities within the gut can markedly impact host health and fitness. To what extent environmental influences affect the differential distribution of these microbial populations may therefore significantly ... -
A strategy to characterize chlorophyll protein interaction in LIL3
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The function of proteins is at large determined by cofactors selectively bound to protein structure. Without chlorophyll specifically bound to protein, light harvesting and photosynthesis would not be possible. The binding ... -
Effect of Dispersion Treatment on Dairy Waste Activated Sludge to Hasten the Production of Biogas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The solubilization potential of biological pre-treatment for waste activated sludge (WAS) is limited due to the floc structure of the WAS. Extra polymeric substances (EPS) are responsible for floc formation. In this ... -
Microbiome involved in anaerobic hydrogen producing granules: A mini review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)This mini review overviewed the latest updates on the anaerobic hydrogen fermentation using the granulation technology and the microbiome involved in the process. Additionally, the implication of various reactor design and ... -
Pilot-scale study to investigate the impact of rotating belt filter upstream of a MBR for nitrogen removal
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02)The goal of this study was to investigate what kind of impact the removal of particulate organic matter with 33μm rotating belt filter (RBF) (as a primary treatment) will have on the membrane bioreactor (MBR) performance. ... -
Smart Water for Enhanced Oil Recovery from Seawater and Produced Water by Membranes
(PhD thesis UiS;442, Doctoral thesis, 2019-03)Sustainable use of scarce water resources and stringent environmental regulations are currently moving the focus towards environmentally friendly and cost-effective injection methods in the offshore oil industry. Water ... -
Combinatory microRNA serum signatures as classifiers of Parkinson's disease
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-04)As current clinical diagnostic protocols for Parkinson's disease (PD) may be prone to inaccuracies there is a need to identify and validate molecular biomarkers, such as circulating microRNAs, which will complement current ... -
Mutants deficient in thylakoid membrane protein complexes characterize photosynthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-05)Photosynthesis involves two major pathways through which light energy can be harvested and transformed into chemical energy. Light drives the flow of electrons through a chain of redox protein complexes to synthesize NADPH ... -
