Potential of ultrasound technology towards improvement of protein gel systems as affected by thermal and high-pressure processing as pre-treatment.
(Master thesis, 2021)The potential of ultrasound (US) to modify structural and functional properties in complex protein food systems has gained more interest in recent years.US-enhanced gelling properties have been demonstrated in acid ... -
Uracil-excising activity of hSMUG1 in bubble and R-loop DNA
(Master thesis, 2021)Uracil arises in cellular DNA by hydrolytic cytosine (C) deamination and by erroneous repli-cative incorporation of deoxyuridine monophosphate opposite adenine. The former event is devastating by generation of C thymine ... -
Replacing Pro240 with Gly in hSMUG1 increases uracil excision in R-loop but abolish 5-hydroxymethyluracil excision in ssDNA
(Master thesis, 2021)Deamination and oxidation of pyrimidines are two major spontaneously damaging events in DNA. The DNA glycosylase SMUG1 initiates repair of deaminated or oxidized bases by breaking the glycosidic bond between the damaged ... -
Material characteristics of 3-D printed steel
(Master thesis, 2021)Additive manufacturing of metals is a technology where metal parts are built layer by layer from a 3D model. To do this a heat source is used to melt metal powder or metal rods. There is a large selection of processes that ... -
Lønnsomheten ved implementering av Økt Oljeutvinning - Økonomisk Potensial for Smart Vann i Sandstein
(Master thesis, 2021)Smart Vann er en fremvoksende økt oljeutvinning (EOR) teknologi, som har vist lovende resultater i laboratoriet. Ved å uvinne en ytterligere 26% OOIP har denne EOR-metoden et stort potensial for implementering i felt, ved ... -
Implementing an Adaptive Genetic Algorithm in the Atari Environment
(Master thesis, 2021)This thesis attempts to implement a genetic algorithm for training agents within the Atari game environments. The training is performed on hardware of a widely available character, and so the results give an indication of ... -
Sustainability-based multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) for industrial asset assessment: A case study on midlife alternatives for high voltage circuit breakers
(Master thesis, 2021)Maintenance management has over the years evolved from a narrow perspective to a wider and strategic dimension called Physical Asset Management (PAM). PAM in a modern context includes elements of strategy, economy, risk ... -
Bruk av 3D laserskanning i byggeprosjekter for kvalitetssikring i produksjonsfasen
(Master thesis, 2021)Byggebransjen har ofte blitt kritisert for manglende bruk av digitale verktøy og nye teknologier sammenlignet med andre industrier, men dette har begynt å endre seg de siste årene. En av teknologiene som har blitt introdusert ... -
Optimization of Spar-Buoy Foundation for Offshore Wind Turbines Using Open-Source Programs
(Master thesis, 2021)Low carbon and renewable energy are paramount to tackle climate change and supply the increasing energy demand in a sustainable way. In recent years, the offshore wind industry has attracted growing attention for its ... -
Application of Bayesian Network in the EX-Risk-Based Inspection
(Master thesis, 2021)In the oil and gas industry, many operating expenses assigns to the cost of inspection and maintenance. Therefore, an optimized inspection strategy can reduce the cost of inspection and maintenance when the system's integrity ... -
Volatile organic compounds in greenhouse: Discovery of volatile biomarkers related to fungal infection by Botrytis cinerea in tomato plants
(Master thesis, 2021)The development of fungal disease in greenhouse plants can result in limited production and great economic losses for the producer. Early detection and identification of disease in plants before visible symptoms appear, ... -
Masseredningsoperasjoner ved en cruiseskipsulykke utenfor Spitsbergen
(Master thesis, 2021)Bakteppet for dette mastergradsprosjektet har vært den stadig økende skipstrafikken i de arktiske områdene. Samtidig som trafikken øker, øker også størrelsen på de ulike fartøyene. Det er etablert en sterk sammenheng mellom ... -
An End-To-End Machine Learning Project for Detection of Stuck Pipe Symptoms During Tripping Operations
(Master thesis, 2021)Non-productive time due to stuck pipe costs the Oil and Gas industry substantial losses amounting to $250 million annually [1]. Thus, it is imperative for companies to invest in tools that can aid in prevention. This study ... -

Excision of 5-hydroxymethyluracil in single-stranded DNA by hSMUG1 requires Ser26 and/or Glu35 and Pro240
(Master thesis, 2021)The integrity of the genetic material of all organisms is assaulted continuously by a multitude of endogenous and exogenous agents throughout its lifetime, where the DNA bases of the genetic code may be altered if not ... -
A Vaccine as Deadly as the Virus? A Case Study of the AstraZeneca Vaccine, Media Amplification, and Public Debate on vaccines during the Covid-19 Pandemic
(Master thesis, 2021)Much new research examines different aspects of the Covid-19 pandemic, but the role of both traditional news media and social media in influencing people´s perceptions and behaviors seems to be missing. Therefore, this ... -
Hvordan ivaretas ytre miljø i offentlige bygge- og anleggsprosjekter, og hvilke faktorer er kritiske for oppfyllelse av miljøkrav?
(Master thesis, 2021)Bygge- og anleggsnæringen beveger seg stadig i en grønnere retning, og miljøkrav i offentlige bygge- og anleggskontrakter blir viktigere og viktigere for å nå Norges klima- og miljømål. I dag stilles miljøkrav i de fleste ... -
