DNA damage and health effects in juvenile haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) exposed to PAHs associated with oil-polluted sediment or produced water
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The research objective was to study the presence of DNA damages in haddock exposed to petrogenic or pyrogenic polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from different sources: 1) extracts of oil produced water (PW), dominated by ... -
DOPA Homeostasis by Dopamine: A Control-Theoretic View
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-11)Dopamine (DA) is an important signal mediator in the brain as well as in the periphery. The term “dopamine homeostasis” occasionally found in the literature refers to the fact that abnormal DA levels can be associated with ... -
Dopamin som nevrotransmitter – en bioinformatisk analyse av dopamintransporteren, samt et innblikk i samme molekyls kinetikk.
(Bachelor thesis, 2022)Dopamin er et viktig hormon i kroppen, og er med på å styre blant annet følelser, bevegelse og kognitive mekanismer. Et av molekylene som er ansvarlig for å regulere dopaminnivået i hjernen, kalles Dopamintransporteren ... -
Dopamine as a Homeostatic Regulator of Levodopa and its contribution to Neurological Disorders
(Bachelor thesis, 2021)Homeostasis is the tendency to maintain a relatively constant internal environment. The concept of homeostasis is essential when it comes to understanding organisms and their ability to adapt when faced with external ... -
Dopaminregulert DOPA homeostase og nevrodegenerative forstyrrelser
(Bachelor thesis, 2021)Velfungerende mekanismer for homeostase leder til et robust homeostatisk dopaminerg system. Ett ikke-funksjonelt homeostatisk dopaminerg system er kjent for å være assosiert med nevrodegenerative lidelser som Parkinsons ... -
Dynamics of Hypercycles in Viral Replication and Investigations of positive feedback loops
(Master thesis, 2021)Positive feedbacks are of importance in biochemical processes, including also replication mechanisms. Positive feedback is a process that takes place in a feedback loop that amplifies small changes. It means that the impact ... -
Dysfunction of Protein Homeostasis: Factors in uencing the Formation of alpha - Synuclein (Lewy Bodies) in Arabidopsis thaliana plants
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-15)BACKGROUND:Protein homeostasis or proteostasis under the conscious control of a network of proteins including chaperones, transporters, ubiquitin-dependent proteasome control the proper expression, folding, translocation ... -
Early constipation predicts faster dementia onset in Parkinson's disease
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-05)Constipation is a common but not a universal feature in early PD, suggesting that gut involvement is heterogeneous and may be part of a distinct PD subtype with prognostic implications. We analysed data from the Parkinson’s ... -
Early Forms of α-Synuclein Pathology Are Associated with Neuronal Complex I Deficiency in the Substantia Nigra of Individuals with Parkinson’s Disease
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (iPD) is characterized by degeneration of the dopaminergic substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc), typically in the presence of Lewy pathology (LP) and mitochondrial respiratory complex I (CI) ... -
An economic and environmental analysis of greenhouse tomato production in Norway using a model-based technique
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2022-12)The growing global population levels and the resulting increasing demands for food has put a lot of pressure on the food production systems and made the agricultural sector highly energy-intensive. The intensification in ... -
Effect of Dispersion Treatment on Dairy Waste Activated Sludge to Hasten the Production of Biogas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The solubilization potential of biological pre-treatment for waste activated sludge (WAS) is limited due to the floc structure of the WAS. Extra polymeric substances (EPS) are responsible for floc formation. In this ... -
Effect of low temperature and municipal wastewater organic loading on anaerobic granule reactor performance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Biogas production and municipal wastewater COD removal at low temperatures by granulated anaerobic biomass were investigated. Two anaerobic granule reactors were operated continuously for 1025 days by stepwise increase of ... -
