The effect of benzalkonium chloride exposure on the minimum inhibitory concentration, and the spread of resistance to tetracycline in a laboratory-scale sludge reactor
(Bachelor thesis, 2022)With the increased use of disinfectants due to the Covid-19 pandemic an increased understanding of their effect on antimicrobial resistance is of paramount importance. This study looks at the effect low concentrations of ... -
Blodplate-interaksjon med sirkulerende kreftceller isolert med størrelsebasert filtrering fra pasienter med metastatisk brystkreft
(Bachelor thesis, 2022)Metastasering är den främsta orsaken till cancer-associerade dödsfall. Cirkulerande cancerceller (CTCs) spelar en stor roll i den metastatiska processen och i sjukdomsförloppet. Det finns belägg som indikerar att ... -
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, ... -
Testing av THF-hydratinhibering og optimalisering av kjent testmetode
(Bachelor thesis, 2022)Dette prosjektet besto av syv delprosjekter som alle handlet THF-hydratinhibering. I de fleste delprosjektene ble ulike typer kjemiske stoffer testet som inhibitorer, og i noen av disse ble det utført syntese av nye eller ... -
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. ... -
Vannkjemiske undersøkelser i Djupavatnet 2021-2022
(Bachelor thesis, 2022)Sør-Norge var frem til 1990-tallet sterkt preget av forsuring som følge av utslipp av nitrogen og svovel fra industrien. Den sakte forvitrende berggrunnen i Rogaland gjorde at forsuringen hadde stor innvirkning på ... -
