Replacing Pro240 with Gly in hSMUG1 increases uracil excision in R-loop but abolish 5-hydroxymethyluracil excision in ssDNA
(Master thesis, 2021)Deamination and oxidation of pyrimidines are two major spontaneously damaging events in DNA. The DNA glycosylase SMUG1 initiates repair of deaminated or oxidized bases by breaking the glycosidic bond between the damaged ... -
Respirometric Assessment of the Chronic impact of Chloroxylenol on a Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR)
(Bachelor thesis, 2023)Abstract Chloroxylenol (CHL) is a compound we find in disinfectant products such as soap to clean the skin and other surfaces, and as a result, a large amount of CHL is discharged into the wastewater treatment plants ... -
Review and evaluation of techno-economic and environmental simulation tools to address CO2 transport within CCS value chain
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-06-15)Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an important solution to meeting climate targets set by United Nations and can potentially reduce 15 % of CO2 emissions globally. CCS has been studied for over 20 years. However, its ... -
Review of Nanotechnology Impacts on Oilfield Scale Management
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Nanotechnology has grown rapidly in both research and applications over the past two decades including in the upstream petroleum industry. A recent hot area for studying nanotechnology has been oilfield scale management. ... -
Review of the effect of disinfectants on antibiotic resistance in wastewater treatment plants
(Bachelor thesis, 2022)Antibiotic resistance (AR) has been identified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of the biggest threats to human health, due to the increased and unrestricted antibiotic use in humans and animals. In addition, ... -
A review on energy and cost effective phase separated pretreatment of biosolids
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-06)Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) existent in anaerobic sludge proves to be a barrier for sludge liquefaction and biomass lysis efficiency. Hence EPS deaggregation heightens the surface area for the subsequent ... -
Review on Geopolymers as Wellbore Sealants: State of the Art Optimization for CO2 Exposure and Perspectives
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-06)Wellbores used in underground production and storage activities, including carbon capture and storage (CCS), are typically sealed using sealants based on Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). However, leakage along these seals ... -
A review on occurrence and spread of antibiotic resistance in wastewaters and in wastewater treatment plants: Mechanisms and perspectives
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-10)This paper reviews current knowledge on sources, spread and removal mechanisms of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in microbial communities of wastewaters, treatment plants and downstream recipients. Antibiotic is the ... -
Ricin B proteins from Saprolegnia parasitica translocate into fish cells
(Bachelor thesis, 2022)Saprolegnia parasitica is a pathogenic oomycete within the phylum of stramenopiles that mainly infects salmon and trout. It is found all over the world and causes a disease called saprolegniosis that often results in death ... -
Road runoff particle removal: A case study of the underground sedimentation facility at fv. 505 Skjæveland – Foss-Eikeland
(Master thesis, 2021)With increasing urbanization, the effect of urban runoff on vulnerable recipients increases. Commonly, open wet ponds have been used for treatment of road surface runoff. With increasing urbanization and a focus on reducing ... -
Salting-Out Assisted Liquid-Liquid Extraction for UPLC-MS/MS Determination of Thyroxine and Steroid Hormones in Human Serum and Fish Plasma
