Effect of salinity on biological treatment of wastewater from oil industry
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2009, Master thesis, 2009)High salinity may affect biological wastewater negative by reducing the growth rate of microorganisms. Wastewater from oil industry often contains high salinity which could be problematic to treat. This thesis is to evaluate ... -
Effect of temperature, bicarbonate, and MEG concentration on pre-corroded carbon steels
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)CO2 corrosion in carbon steel has been a major problem in many of oil and gas fields for years. One method that has been known to be effective for corrosion control especially in pipeline is pH stabilization. This method ... -
Effect of uvrC gene in mutation induction by 5-formyldeoxyuridine in Escherichia coli
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06-30)The oxidation of the methyl group of thymine by reactive oxygen species forms the mutagenic base residue 5-formyluracil (fU). fU can be removed from DNA in vitro by AlkA (3-methyl DNA glycosylase II) and the Fpg, Nth and ... -
