Innovative strategies for enhanced extraction and functionality of microalgae proteins.
(Master thesis, 2023)Industrial exploitation of cultivated microalgae as protein feedstock has gained interest in recent years as a promising driver for the Norwegian bioeconomy. However, robust microalgal cell wall structures may lead to ... -
Insights into the potential of the Atlantic cod gut microbiome as biomarker of oil contamination in the marine environment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Microorganisms are widespread in all environments, including in and on animal bodies. The gut microbiome has an essential influence on fish health, and is affected by several persistent and harmful organic and ... -
Integrated biorefineries for repurposing of food wastes into value-added products
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Food waste (FW) generated through various scenarios from farm to fork causes serious environmental problems when either incinerated or disposed inappropriately. The presence of significant amounts of carbohydrates, proteins, ... -
Interleukin-1-related activity and hypocretin-1 in cerebrospinal fluid contribute to fatigue in primary Sjögren's syndrome
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background Fatigue is a common and sometimes debilitating phenomenon in primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) and other chronic inflammatory diseases. We aimed to investigate how IL-1 β-related molecules and the neuropeptide ... -
Interleukin-1β, heat shock protein 90α, and hypocretin-1 in chronic fatigue
(PhD thesis UiS;505, Doctoral thesis, 2020-09)Background: Fatigue, defined as an overwhelming sense of tiredness, lack of energy, and feeling of exhaustion, is a phenomenon many people have experienced in connection with infections such as influenza, Epstein-Barr ... -
Intrinsic Strand-Incision Activity of Human UNG: Implications for Nick Generation in Immunoglobulin Gene Diversification
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Uracil arises in cellular DNA by cytosine (C) deamination and erroneous replicative incorporation of deoxyuridine monophosphate opposite adenine. The former generates C → thymine transition mutations if uracil is not removed ... -
Investigating Biochar as potential remediator of Ciprofloxacin in hospital wastewater
(Bachelor thesis, 2023)This thesis investigates the potential for the cheap, easy-to-produce adsorbent Biochar for use as a remediator of the antibiotic Ciprofloxacin, which is known to pollute bodies of water especially downstream from hospitals ... -
Investigating H-Titanate and MOFs for the recovery of Lithium from the spent battery waste (Black Mass)
(Master thesis, 2022)Lithium ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used for electric vehicles and other portable electronic devices. Basically, lithium-ion batteries contain valuable metals such as Fe, C, Al, Cu, Li, Co, and, Ni. Cobalt with 5– 20 ... -
Investigating phosphate release from EBPR sludge and associated possibility of controlled struvite precipitation at SNJ wastewater treatment plant
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06)The main treatment stage at SNJ Wastewater Treatment Plant was recently upgraded from chemical treatment to mechanical-biological treatment with Enhanced Biological Phosphorous Removal (EBPR). The implementation of EBPR ... -
