Chromatography of metabolites in plasma and urine following oral administration of anthocyanin rich capsules
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2010;, Master thesis, 2010)Anthocyanins (ACs) are powerful antioxidants widely distributed in fruits and vegetables. Several international studies suggest that anthocyanins have positive effects on the health, including various chronic diseases. ... -
Circulating and disseminated tumour cells as potential biomarkers for treatment response and disease progression in patients with locally advanced and/or metastatic pancreatic cancer
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2013;, Master thesis, 2013-06-13)Introduction: Pancreatic cancer is the fourth most common cause of cancer related deaths in the Western countries. The poor prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients is often associated with early dissemination of the disease, ... -
Cloning and reconstitution of PORA from Arabidopsis thaliana
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)Protochlorphyllide oxidoreductase, POR, is an enzyme found in the prolamellar bodies in etioplasts. Three isoforms have been detected so far; PORA, PORB and PORC. PORA is found in the etiolated seedlings, PORB is present ... -
CO2 and H2S corrosion in oil pipelines
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2010;, Master thesis, 2010)This study has been conducted to find the corrosion behavior and corrosion rates of carbon steel in the presence of CO2 and H2S at various pH levels using classical electrochemical techniques. It was found that in a ... -
Cold Baryogenesis from first principles in the two-Higgs doublet model with fermions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-06)We present a first-principles numerical computation of the baryon asymmetry in electroweak-scale baryogenesis. For the scenario of Cold Baryogenesis, we consider a one fermion-family reduced CP-violating two Higgs-doublet ... -
Cold water coral Lophelia Pertusa biosensor
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06-30)The oil and gas industry is required to have a monitoring capacity that makes it possible to fulfill the regulatory requirements in the areas they operate today and intend to operate in the future. Because of the relative ... -
Comparison of OLI Studio: Analyser 9.2 and MultiScale Simulation Software for design of MEG Regeneration Units
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06-14)Mono-ethylene glycol (MEG) is a common thermodynamic hydrate inhibitor used in the production and transportation of oil and natural gas. MEG is usually recovered, regenerated in MEG regeneration and reclamation unit (MRU) ... -
Computational evaluation of different arrangements for the circadian clock in Arabidopsis thaliana.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-08)The circadian clock is an endogenous timekeeper that enables individuals to predict and adjust to their environment's regular differences between light and dark and high and low temperatures. This biological timing mechanism ... -
Computational Statistics and Data Analysis: Robustness of the Linear Mixed Effects Model to Non-normality of Longitudinal Data.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06)The Linear mixed effects model is based on one of the assumptions, which is that data are normally distributed as the errors and random effects in the model are assumed to have normal distributions; but in practice, ... -
Constraints on Strong Phase Transitions in Neutron Stars
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)We study current bounds on strong first-order phase transitions (PTs) along the equation of state (EOS) of dense strongly interacting matter in neutron stars, under the simplifying assumption that on either side of the PT, ... -
Covariate order tests for covariate effect
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2002)A new approach for constructing tests for association between a random right censored life time variable and a covariate is proposed. The basic idea is to first arrange the observations in increasing order of the covariate ... -
Curvature operators and scalar curvature invariants
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)We continue the study of the question of when a pseudo-Riemannain manifold can be locally characterised by its scalar polynomial curvature invariants (constructed from the Riemann tensor and its covariant deriva- tives). ... -
Design and cost evaluation of anaerobic bioreactor for industrial waste
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-21)Industrial wastewater with very high Total Organic Carbon (TOC) is a potential substrate for anaerobic treatment. Continuous Flow Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) is the common model of reactor used to treat various kind of ... -
Destabilization and separation of drilling mud by utilizing chemicals and mechanical equipment
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06-25)The research of this thesis was aimed to test new chemical mixtures for drilling fluid waste treatment and optimize them for different type of oil-based drilling muds. The research included two steps: pre-screening and ... -
Detection and Characterization of Circulating Tumor Cells in Early Breast Cancer
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06)Background: Detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) has demonstrated prognostic significance in metastatic breast cancer. This is less studied in early breast cancer due to the rarity of such cells in early disease and ... -
