Can gut microbial community changes in Atlantic cod be used as biomarker of water pollution?
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-15)The gut microbiome of juvenile Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) was studied to evaluate changes related to the exposure of dispersed crude oil and find potential biomarker of exposures. Fish was exposed to dispersed crude oil ... -
Capturing CO2 from Biogas Plants
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-07)As a renewable energy, biogas produced from anaerobic digestion and landfill is playing a more and more important role in the energy market. Capturing CO2 from biogas can result in a negative CO2 emission. Depending on how ... -
Carbon capture: Characterization of CO2 adsorption by Metal-organic frameworks and Zeolite
(Bachelor thesis, 2022)This work aims to synthesize and characterize the Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs): MIP-202, MOF-801, and a cerium-based version of the MIP-202, and evaluate their potential for use in carbon capturing by the use of adsorption. ... -
Carbon footprint assessment of the Vega subsea field – a preliminary study for the environmental footprint
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06-15)Subsea tie-in fields on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS) appear to have extremely low greenhouse gas intensity based on available environmental data, as emissions related to offshore oil and gas processing is reported ... -
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 ... -
Challenges with Gas Hydrate Formation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Many multiphase flow lines are prone to hydrate formation unless prevention methods are put in place. Chemical management of hydrate formation is traditionally done with thermodynamic hydrate inhibitors but in the last 25 ... -
Changes in Plasma Pyruvate and TCA Cycle Metabolites upon Increased Hepatic Fatty Acid Oxidation and Ketogenesis in Male Wistar Rats
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Altered hepatic mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation and associated tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle activity contributes to lifestyle-related diseases, and circulating biomarkers reflecting these changes could have disease ... -
Characterisation of a novel cold-adapted calcium- activated transglutaminase: implications for medicine and food processing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-03)Transglutaminases are a family of enzymes that catalyse the cross‐linking of proteins by forming covalent bonds between lysine and glutamine residues in various polypeptides. Cross‐linking reactions are involved in blood ... -
Characterising the plastics ingested by northern fulmars (Fulmarus glacialis) across the north-east Atlantic Ocean
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06)Marine plastic pollution affects a myriad of species across the world. The interactions between wildlife and marine plastics can be broadly categorised as either entanglement or ingestion of plastics. Seabirds, and especially ... -
Characterization of antimicrobial resistance in Norwegian blood culture isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae using whole genome sequencing.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06)Antimicrobial drugs are used to treat and prevent infections caused by microorganisms. For decades, they have saved millions of lives, treated diseases and reduced pain. However, when exposed to antimicrobial drugs, ... -
Characterization of Exosomes and Synthesized Exosome-Based Liposomes to Establish a Drug Delivery Scheme for the Treatment of Epilepsy.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-14)Epilepsy is one of the most prevalent, chronic, critical neurological diseases. Due to the ability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to prevent the entry of drugs into the brain, pharmaceutical treatment of central nervous ... -
Characterization of Norwegian blood culture isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae using whole genome sequencing
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06)The increasing trend of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been acknowledged by the world health organization (WHO) as an urgent threat to public health. Especially the development of multi drug resistant (MDR) Gram-negative ... -
CHARACTERIZATION/STUDY OF THE MITOCHONDRIA OF PANCREATIC CANCER CELL LINE WITH CONFOCAL RAMAN MICROSCOPE
(Master thesis, 2021)Cancer cell metabolism have long been thought to rely on glycolysis more than mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation regardless of the availability of oxygen, which normally regulates the switch between anaerobic to aerobic ... -
Clinical relevance of disseminated tumor cells in advanced pancreatic cancer
(Bachelor thesis, 2021)Introduction Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), a particularly deadly form of pancreatic cancer (PC), continues to challenge modern medical science regarding diagnosis and treatment of the disease. The poor prognosis ... -
CO2 Absorption and Transportation Modes in Porous Media: Numerical Simulation and Comparison with Laboratory Experiment
(Master thesis, 2021)Absorption and mass transfer mechanism of CO2 in a uniformly distributed porous media was analyzed using simulation as well as experimental results. The study was performed in a closed PVT cell containing pressurized CO2 ... -
Cognitive Profile in Parkinson’s Disease Dementia Patients with Low versus Normal Cerebrospinal Fluid Amyloid Beta
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Introduction: In patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) amyloid beta 1-42 (Ab42) at baseline is the most consistent CSF biomarker as a risk factor for developing dementia. Low CSF Ab42 is, ... -
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 ... -
Combinatory microRNA serum signatures as classifiers of Parkinson's disease
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-04)As current clinical diagnostic protocols for Parkinson's disease (PD) may be prone to inaccuracies there is a need to identify and validate molecular biomarkers, such as circulating microRNAs, which will complement current ... -
Combined Effect of Citric Acid and Polyphenol-Rich Grape Seed Extract towards Bioactive Smart Food Packaging Systems
