Characterization of protein complexes and photosynthetic performance of Arabidopsis thaliana mutant plants impaired in state transition, energy-dependent non-photochemical quenching, and cyclic electron flow
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2023)For optimal photosynthesis, the photosystem complexes in the plant leaf adapt to their light environment. In a process termed “state transition”, light energy distributes between photosystem II (PSII) and photosystem I ... -
CO2 mass transfer and interfacial studies for application of carbonated water injection: Axisymmetric pendant drop analysis for simultaneous calculation of CO2 diffusion coefficient and interfacial tension
(PhD thesis UiS;439, Doctoral thesis, 2019-02)Worldwide, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects have been on a gradual rise since early 2000, especially EOR by CO2 injection. Globally, at present, EOR by CO2 injection contributes approximately 67.5% of projects (83 of ... -
CO2 methanation on Ni-Fe based catalysts: Mechanistic and structured reactor study
(PhD thesis UiS;607, Doctoral thesis, 2021-10)The clean energy transition towards renewable energy sources has increased the need for large-scale and long-term energy storage systems. Power-to-Gas concept offers the solution to convert surplus electrical power into ... -
Complex risk management in explosive-contaminated areas: Explosive remnants of war

Contribution of Geosciences in the Study of Anthropogenic Activities in Different Temporal and Spatial Contexts
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2024)From Homo sapiens, anthropogenic activities have impacted Earth systems at different spatial and time scales, particularly since the mid-twentieth century as the geological record confirms. Such impact has triggered Earth ... -
Contribution to supply chain management and incentive modeling with application from the upstream oil and gas industry
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2011)The general subject of this thesis is incentive modeling related to inter-organizational relationships and supply chain management in the oil and gas industry. More specifically, it ncludes an embedded multiple case study ... -
Contributions to effective risk management : On the use of safety principles, economic tools and safety climate instruments
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2018-11)For an organization, effective risk management involves supporting informed decision-making for improved allocation of resources, as well as playing an active part in how the organization is governed and, ultimately, ... -
Contributions to improved risk and vulnerability assessment of critical infrastructure
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2020-11)The aim of this thesis is to provide contributions to the assessment of critical infrastructure risk. In particular, the thesis gains insights as to how critical infrastructure is modelled, the role of such models in risk ... -
Contributions to risk management : On the balance between value creation and protection
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2020-08)The overall objective of this thesis is to contribute to new knowledge in risk management. More concretely, the research relates to one of the main tasks of risk management: to obtain an appropriate balance between value ... -
Contributions to the Research on Risk Attenuation, Risk Amplification, Trust, and Stakeholder Involvement Implications of an uncertainty-based risk perspective
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2021-01)The overall objective of this thesis is to contribute to the development of new knowledge related to risk perception and communication, particularly emphasising the issues of risk attenuation, risk amplification, trust, ... -
Controller Motifs for Homeostatic Regulation and Their Applications in Biological Systems
(PhD thesis UiS;276, Doctoral thesis, 2015-12-03)Living organisms have over billions of years evolved into highly specific and complex entities. Although the range of organisms that inhabit our planet is strikingly diverse, they are all in some extent able to protect ... -
Controls of basin margin tectonics on the Lower Cretaceous sedimentation in the Norwegian Barents Sea
(PhD thesis UiS;530, Doctoral thesis, 2020-06)Structural styles and stratigraphic patterns along North Atlantic margins display a large spectrum of complexity and variability. An extensive amount of subsurface data from the north-central and south-western Barents Sea ... -
Counterterrorism as Risk Management Strategies
(PhD thesis UiS;178, Doctoral thesis, 2012-11-26)After the terrorist attacks in the USA on 11 September 2001 (9/11), most Western countries, including Norway, implemented a multiplicity of counterterrorism measures. 9/11 seems to have lowered Western governments' ... -
Crack Arresting using Cutout Repair in Tubular Offshore Joints
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Finding efficient repair methods for cracked tubular joints in offshore structures is important, both as a permanent or temporary repair solution. The exploration of such methods and techniques includes the use of hole ... -
