(Masteroppgave/UIS-SV-IMS/2020;, Master thesis, 2021-01)Biodiversity has suffered huge declines in recent decades. Meanwhile, smart city initiatives have become very popular in urban settings as a way of tackling society’s problems. The purpose of this study is to look at the ... -
Bioeconomic evaluation of extended season and year-round tomato production in Norway using supplemental light
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)CONTEXT For high latitude countries like Norway, one of the biggest challenges associated with greenhouse production is the limited availability of natural light and heat, particularly in winters. This can be addressed ... -
Bioengineered methanotrophic photogranules for tertiary UASB effluent post-treatment.
(Master thesis, 2022)The need for aeration when treating wastewater is the most extensive energy requirement wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) has today. This thesis investigated an attached growth process which utilise genetic features in ... -
Biogas potential of high strength municipal wastewater treatment in laboratory scale up-flow anaerobic slugde blanket (UASB) reactors
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06-15)The main focus of this study is investigating the effectiveness of anaerobic treatment of municipal wastewater for converting organic matter to methane production in anaerobic granular sludge reactors. In-house designed ... -
Biogas potential of municipal sludge, industrial waste, livestock manure, and preliminary study of Røysland farm biogas plant
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-15)Anaerobic digestion involves a series of metabolic reactions in which complex substrates in the feed are reduced to a mixture having as main products methane and carbon dioxide. Biochemical methane potential (BMP) of ... -
Biogas Potential of Municipal Wastewater Treatment using Up-Flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) reactors under Psychrophilic Condition
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06)The operation of two laboratory scale of Up-flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) reactors on treating medium to high strength wastewater (i.e. 500 – 1200 mg COD/l) under psychrophilic conditions (5.5°C) were studied. The ... -
Biographical research at the boundary : A careful listening for the micro, meso, and macro in end-of-life care
(Chapter, 2021)Death is an intrinsic part of the ecology of life. Yet in Western societies, end-of-life care has to a large degree moved out of the home and into institutions. A pressing question for educational institutions and employing ... -
Biohydrogen production from industrial wastewater: An overview
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09)Biohydrogen production from industrial wastewater has been a focus of interest in recent years. The in depth knowledge in lab scale parameters and emerging strategies are needed to be investigated in order to implement the ... -
