Graphene-based phenformin carriers for cancer cell treatment: a comparative study between oxidized and pegylated pristine graphene in human cells and zebrafish†
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Graphene is an attractive choice for the development of an effective drug carrier in cancer treatment due to its high adsorption area and pH-responsive drug affinity. In combination with the highly potent metabolic drug ... -
Gravity-driven membrane filtration of wastewater
(Bachelor thesis, 2022)In recent years, the increase in world population and the rapid industry growth has led to an increased demand for water. Given the impact climate change has had on water resources, the ability to supply sufficient and ... -
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 ... -
Green Synthesis, Characterization, Antimicrobial and Anticancer Screening of New Metal Complexes Incorporating Schiff Base
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)A Schiff base ligand of o-vanillin and 4-aminoazobenzene and its transition metal complexes of Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II), Cu(II), Mn(II), and Zr(IV) were prepared under microwave irradiation as a green approach compared to ... -
Growth and inactivation of Bacillus pumilus with heat and high-pressure processing
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-06-15)The main objective of this study was to obtain knowledge about Bacillus pumilus B367 with relevance to food safety and investigate if B. pumilus B367 would be inactivated at lower temperatures for shorter time by applying ... -
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 ... -
Hepcidin predicts 5-year mortality after community-acquired pneumonia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background Virtually all living organisms, including microbes and humans, depend on iron to survive and grow. During an infection, the plasma level of iron and several iron-related proteins change substantially. We ... -
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 ... -
High Cloud Point Polyvinylaminals as Non-Amide-Based Kinetic Gas Hydrate Inhibitors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-06)In recent years, we have explored non-amide-based classes of kinetic hydrate inhibitor (KHI) polymers to determine if the same level of performance can be achieved as commercial KHI polymers, which all contain amide groups. ... -
High-Performance Kinetic Hydrate Inhibition with Poly(N-isopropyl methacrylamide) and Triisopentylamine Oxide─Surprising Concentration-Dependent Results
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) are mostly used to prevent the deposition of gas hydrates in gas and condensate production flow lines. The main component in a KHI formulation is a water-soluble polymer, blended with ... -
Highly thermostable carboxylic acid reductases generated by ancestral sequence reconstruction
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Carboxylic acid reductases (CARs) are biocatalysts of industrial importance. Their properties, especially their poor stability, render them sub-optimal for use in a bioindustrial pipeline. Here, we employed ancestral ... -
Homeostasis at different backgrounds: The roles of overlayed feedback structures in vertebrate photoadaptation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)We have studied the resetting behavior of eight basic integral controller motifs with respect to different but constant backgrounds. We found that the controllers split symmetrically into two classes: one class, based on ... -
Homeostasis by depression kinetics with multisite inhibition and positive feedback
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2020;, Master thesis, 2020)In order to survive all living organisms must, to some extent, be able to adapt to the changes in environment.In recent years there have been proposed different controller motifs that are used to explain how does the ... -
Homeostatic controllers compensating for growth and perturbations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-08)Cells and organisms have developed homeostatic mechanisms which protect them against a changing environment. How growth and homeostasis interact is still not well understood, but of increasing interest to the molecular and ... -
Homologous Recombination Deficiency Across Subtypes of Primary Breast Cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Purpose Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) is highly prevalent in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and associated with response to PARP inhibition (PARPi). Here, we studied the prevalence of HRD in non-TNBC to ... -
hUNG activity for uracil in bubble and R-loop DNA
(Master thesis, 2021)Uracil, a common base in RNA, may arise in cellular DNA by cytosine deamination or during replication through the misincorporation of deoxyuridine monophosphate instead of thymidine monophosphate. Repair of uracil is ... -
A hybrid of 1-deoxynojirimycin and benzotriazole induces preferential inhibition of butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) over acetylcholinesterase (AChE)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The synthesis of four heterodimers in which the copper(I)-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition was employed to connect a 1-deoxynojirimycin moiety with a benzotriazole scaffold is reported. The heterodimers were investigated ... -
Hydraulic Behaviour: A Tracer Study of a Stormwater Detention and Sedimentation System
(Master thesis, 2023)Stormwater is of growing concern with increased heavy rainfall and runoff surfaces from urbanisation. The challenges of stormwater has two aspects; risk of flooding and risk of pollution. Road runoff in particular, can at ... -
