Translocation, bioaccumulation, and distribution of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in plants
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are persistent in the environment and have been detected in a variety of plants such as vegetables, cereals, and fruits. Increasing evidence shows that plants are at a ... -
Nonpolymeric Citramide-Based Kinetic Hydrate Inhibitors: Good Performance with Just Six Alkylamide Groups
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The use of kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) is a well-known method for preventing gas hydrate formation in oil and gas production flow lines. The main ingredient in KHI formulations is one or more polymers with amphiphilic ... -
N‑Vinyl Caprolactam/Maleic-Based Copolymers as Kinetic Hydrate Inhibitors: The Effect of Internal Hydrogen Bonding
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) have been used for over 25 years to prevent gas hydrate formation in oil and gas production flow lines, but they are some of the most expensive oilfield production chemicals. The main ... -
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 ... -
Ultra-deep whole genome bisulfite sequencing reveals a single methylation hotspot in human brain mitochondrial DNA
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)While DNA methylation is established as a major regulator of gene expression in the nucleus, the existence of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) methylation remains controversial. Here, we characterized the mtDNA methylation landscape ... -
Amine functionalized metal-organic framework for carbon capture
(Bachelor thesis, 2022)This thesis was all about synthesizing metal-organic frameworks, MOFs, with different compositions, and further on characterize and analyze the products using different measurements. The idea was to find out how we could ... -
A complete synthesis of an N-spirofused iminosugar from L-xylose; a potential cholinesterase inhibitor for treatment of Alzheimer’s disease
(Bachelor thesis, 2022)In this bachelor’s project we present a complete synthesis of an N-spirofused iminosugar II with a stable positive charge on the spirocyclic nitrogen atom that together with the hydroxyl groups are expected to establish ... -
The burden of emerging contaminants upon an Atlantic Ocean marine protected reserve adjacent to Camps Bay, Cape Town, South Africa
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The presence and levels of fifteen chemicals of emerging concerns, including five perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), two industrial chemicals, seven pharmaceuticals and one personal care product, were evaluated in biota, ... -
Estimating diagnostic uncertainty in artificial intelligence assisted pathology using conformal prediction
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Unreliable predictions can occur when an artificial intelligence (AI) system is presented with data it has not been exposed to during training. We demonstrate the use of conformal prediction to detect unreliable predictions, ... -
Association of CSF Glucocerebrosidase Activity With the Risk of Incident Dementia in Patients With Parkinson Disease
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background and Objectives Variations in the glucocerebrosidase gene (GBA) are common risk factors for Parkinson disease (PD) and dementia in PD (PDD) and cause a reduction in the activity of the lysosomal enzyme ... -
Loss of LEUCINE CARBOXYL METHYLTRANSFERASE 1 interferes with metal homeostasis in Arabidopsis and enhances susceptibility to environmental stresses
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The biochemical function of LEUCINE CARBOXYL METHYLTRANSFERASE 1 (LCMT1) is to transfer a methyl group from the methyl donor S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to the catalytic subunits of PROTEIN PHOSPHATASE 2A (PP2Ac), PP4 and ... -
Effective recovery of microalgal biomass using various types of emulsion polymers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Microalgae biomass has been considered as one of the potential feedstocks in biofuel production. Yet, biomass harvesting poses a challenge to the overall production cost due to its low cell density. Flocculation has been ... -
Life cycle assessment of tomato production for different production strategies in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The availability of fresh vegetables grown in greenhouses under controlled conditions throughout the year has given rise to concerns about their impact on the environment. In high latitude countries such as Norway, greenhouse ... -
Further insight into the genetic diversity of Entamoeba coli and Entamoeba hartmanni
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Despite the species' wide distribution, studies of the genetic diversity within Entamoeba coli and Entamoeba hartmanni remain limited. In the present study, we provide further insight into the genetic diversity of both ... -
Effect of temperatures on anaerobic granulated biofilm modelling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Anaerobic granulated biomass-based treatment is a sustainable alternative for municipal wastewater treatment. Each granule in the system is comprised of a complex community of anaerobic microorganisms embedded in a biofilm ... -
Cyclic production of biocompatible few-layer graphene ink with in-line shear-mixing for inkjet-printed electrodes and Li-ion energy storage
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The scalable production of two-dimensional (2D) materials is needed to accelerate their adoption to industry. In this work, we present a low-cost in-line and enclosed process of exfoliation based on high-shear mixing to ... -
Modelling particle degradation and intermediate dynamics in a dispersed activated sludge microcosm
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Municipal wastewater consists of a large fraction of particulate organic matter. During biological wastewater treatment these particles undergo extracellular depolymerisation before products are taken up by bacteria (MW < ... -
