(Master thesis, 2014-06-16)Cervical cancer is ranked as the fourth most common cancer worldwide, and the second leading cause of mortality among young woman 19 – 39 of age. Cervical cancer arises from persistent human papilloma (HPV) infection and ... -
Fate and transport of contaminants in drill cuttings piles - Use of Klif's risk assessment guidelines for contaminated sediments to estimate leaching rates from oil-based drill cuttings piles.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)The North Sea contains several oil-based drill cuttings piles which have accumulated on the seabed as a result of oil and gas production. An increased awareness of the contaminants within these piles has grown over the ... -
Fate of persistent organic pollutants during anaerobic treatment and production of biopellets
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)Treatment of municipal wastewater produces large quantities of sludge that represents a cost for the individual wastewater treatment plant. Proper sludge treatment enables reuse of sludge, possibly as fertilizers. Fertilizer ... -
From sludge to energy
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2013;, Master thesis, 2013)Two primary municipal sewage sludges from the same source wastewater, but different separation technologies, were collected and fed to two pilot scale (20 L) anaerobic digesters to investigate differences in the biogas ... -

Gas hydrate formation and control by the use of chemicals
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)Gas hydrates formation and plugging of pipelines is becoming an even more serious problem in the oil and gas industry due to the exploration and development moving to more extreme locations. Kinetic hydrate inhibitors ... -
Gravitational waves from tachyonic preheating
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06)Most models of the universe, which are in agreement with current observations, include some form of extremely rapid expansion of space at a very early stage. This is called cosmological inflation, or just inflation. Most ... -
Heat denaturation of proteins from atlantic salmon (salmo salar)
(Master thesis, 2011)Foods preserved by heat treatment have to meet several food safety. These criteria requirements are not easy to meet, as heat causes protein denaturation which is considered to be the one of the main reasons for quality ... -
