Feasibility study of polyetherimide membrane for enrichment of carbon dioxide from synthetic biohydrogen mixture and subsequent utilization scenario using microalgae
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In this work, the potential of utilizing a polyetherimide (PEI) hollow-fiber membrane to separate synthetic biohydrogen mixture (H2/CO2) was studied. From the gas separation experiments, where the effects of feed to permeate ... -
Field test investigation of the performance of corrosion inhibitors: a case study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-09)Corrosion is considered one of the major problems that affect flow assurance during hydrocarbon production. This irreversible phenomenon has the ability to cause serious material failure in the oil and gas industry. ... -
Finite-temperature single molecule vibrational dynamics from combined density functional tight binding extended lagrangian dynamics simulations and time series analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Combining a computationally efficient and affordable molecular dynamics approach, based on atom-centered density matrix propagation scheme, with the density functional tight binding semiempirical quantum ... -
First delirium episode in Parkinson’s disease and parkinsonism: incidence, predictors, and outcomes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-10)To define the incidence, predictors and prognosis of the first hospital delirium episode in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonism (AP), we identified the first hospital episode of delirium after diagnosis in ... -
Food Microstructure and Fat Content Affect Growth Morphology, Growth Kinetics, and Preferred Phase for Cell Growth of Listeria monocytogenes in Fish-Based Model Systems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-06)Food microstructure significantly affects microbial growth dynamics, but knowledge concerning the exact influencing mechanisms at a microscopic scale is limited. The food microstructural influence on Listeria monocytogenes ... -
Forekomst av Listeria monocytogenes i et matfiskanlegg i Hardangerfjorden
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-06-15)I denne masteroppgaven er forekomsten av bakterien Listeria monocytogenes undersøkt i et oppdrettsanlegg for atlantisk laks (Salmo salar). Endringer i forekomsten ble observert for å undersøke tilstedeværelse og mulige ... -
Fosfomycin and Its Derivatives: New Scale Inhibitors for Oilfield Applications
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Aminomethylenephosphonate-based scale inhibitors (SIs) have been widely studied and recognized for several decades to mitigate various oilfield scales. However, most of these compounds afforded several drawbacks, such as ... -
Frailty in Parkinson's disease and its association with early dementia: A longitudinal study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Introduction Frailty is recognized as a clinical condition associated with increased vulnerability for developing negative health outcomes but has been little studied in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Here, we ... -
Framework for environmental risk assessment and management of deep-sea mineral mining of massive seafloor sulfide deposits
(Master thesis, 2022)The global interest in exploiting deep-sea minerals has increased over the last couple of decades due to the rising demand for valuable metals required for technological development. However, due to significant scientific ... -
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. ... -
Frequency switching between oscillatory homeostats and the regulation of p53
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-05)Homeostasis is an essential concept to understand the stability of organisms and their adaptive behaviors when coping with external and internal assaults. Many hormones that take part in homeostatic control come in ... -
