Photodegradable Antimicrobial Agents: Towards Structure Optimization
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Antibiotic resistance continues to be an ominous threat facing human health globally and urgent action is required to limit the loss of human life. The pollution of antibiotics into the environment is one of the drivers ... -
Green Hydrogen Production from Residual Lignocellulosic Biomass via Dark Fermentation: Maximizing Hydrogen Yield via Optimal Pretreatment Method and Substrate-to-Inoculum Ratio
(Studentoppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2023;, Master thesis, 2023)This thesis presents an investigation into the biohydrogen production potential of Lignocellulosic Aquatic Residue (LAR), a byproduct of an industrial process. A detailed examination of the substrate and inoculum ... -
Identification of diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of PD using a multiplex proteomics approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-09)Given the complexity of Parkinson's disease (PD), achieving acceptable diagnostic and prognostic accuracy will require the support of a panel of diverse biomarkers. We used Proximity extension assays to measure a panel of ... -
Hepcidin analysis in pneumonia: Comparison of immunoassay and LC-MS/MS
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background The iron-regulatory hormone hepcidin is a promising biomarker to differentiate anaemia of inflammation from iron deficiency. Plasma hepcidin concentrations increase substantially during inflammation, and the ... -
Multi-functional Flow Assurance Chemicals: Corrosion and Kinetic Hydrate Inhibition from Maleic Anhydride:N-Vinyl Caprolactam Copolymers and Synergists
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Water-based flow assurance issues include corrosion, scale, and gas hydrate formation. Chemical solutions to mitigate these issues usually require separate inhibitors, which sometimes can lead to compatibility difficulties. ... -
Alkyl-phenanthrenes in early life stage fish: differential toxicity in Atlantic haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) embryos
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Tricyclic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are believed to be the primary toxic components of crude oil. Such compounds including phenanthrene are known to have direct effects on cardiac tissue, which lead to ... -
Valorisation of Brewers' Spent Grains with Low-Temperature Hydrothermal Liquefaction: Parameter Optimisation and Feasibility
(Master thesis, 2023)Highlights • Very high aqueous phase yields achieved (79.88%). • Energy dense (38.85 MJ/kg) biocrude shows promise for further valorisation. • While scientific work suggests that addition of a catalyst increases biocrude ... -
Connecting gut microbiome changes with fish health conditions in juvenile Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) exposed to dispersed crude oil
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons found in crude oil can impair fish health following sublethal exposure. However, the dysbiosis of microbial communities within the fish host and influence it has on the toxic response of ... -
Unravelling the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy of silicon half cells with commercial loading
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Silicon (Si) is an important anode material for lithium ion batteries (LIBs), and increasing the loading of Si electrodes is an important step towards commercialization. However, half cells commonly used for Si studies are ... -
The free-living flagellate Paratrimastix pyriformis uses a distinct mitochondrial carrier to balance adenine nucleotide pools
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Paratrimastix pyriformis is a free-living flagellate thriving in low-oxygen freshwater sediments. It belongs to the group Metamonada along with human parasites, such as Giardia and Trichomonas. Like other metamonads, P. ... -
Exploring potential analytical methods for determination of glycerol-3-phosphate in human plasma
(Master thesis, 2023)Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition where the kidneys gradually lose their ability to function properly. Biomarkers that indicate immediate renal tissue injury is needed for improved detection of early ... -
The Effect of Temperature on Denitrification in Recirculating Aquaculture systems
(Master thesis, 2023)The primary objective of this master's thesis is to examine how temperature affects denitrification in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) effluent treatment to achieve efficient nitrate removal in aquaculture operations. ... -
Heterogeneous nutrient supply modulates root exudation and accumulation of medicinally valuable compounds in Artemisia annua and Hypericum perforatum
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Plants have evolved complex mechanisms to adapt to nutrient-deficient environments, including stimulating lateral root proliferation into local soil patches with high nutrient content in response to heterogeneous nutrient ... -
Cavity Size Effects on the Adsorption of CO2 on Pillar[n]arene Structures: A Density Functional Theory Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-08)Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the main greenhouse gas that contributes to the global warming. Therefore, CO2 adsorption is very urgent in the fight to limit global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius. In this report, the interaction ... -
Coherent feedback leads to robust background compensation in oscillatory and non-oscillatory homeostats
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-08)When in a reaction kinetic integral controller a step perturbation is applied besides a constant background, the concentration of a controlled variable (described as A) will generally respond with decreased response ... -
Investigation of the enantioselectivity of acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase upon inhibition by tacrine-iminosugar heterodimers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-09)The copper-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition was applied to prepare three enantiomeric pairs of heterodimers containing a tacrine residue and a 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-D-arabinitol (DAB) or 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-L-arabinitol ... -
Deconvolution approach for floating wind turbines
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-05)Green renewable energy is produced by floating offshore wind turbines (FOWT), a crucial component of the modern offshore wind energy industry. It is a safety concern to accurately evaluate excessive weights while the FOWT ... -
Identification of diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of PD using a multiplex proteomics approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-10)Given the complexity of Parkinson's disease (PD), achieving acceptable diagnostic and prognostic accuracy will require the support of a panel of diverse biomarkers. We used Proximity extension assays to measure a panel of ... -
Distinct Clades of Protein Phosphatase 2A Regulatory B’/B56 Subunits Engage in Different Physiological Processes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-07)Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a strongly conserved and major protein phosphatase in all eukaryotes. The canonical PP2A complex consists of a catalytic (C), scaffolding (A), and regulatory (B) subunit. Plants have three ... -
