Exploring Modified Alendronic Acid as a New Inhibitor for Calcium-Based Oilfield Scales
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-02)Organophosphorus compounds are well known as oilfield scale inhibitors. Earlier work showed that a series of new and well-known bone-targeting drugs incorporating non-toxic bisphosphonates (BPs) (PO3H2–C–PO3H2) gave good ... -
Exploring Pathogenicity in Blastocystis ST7 and ST4: A comparative analysis of virulence factors from known intestinal parasites for pathogenicity assessment in Blastocystis spp.
(Master thesis, 2023)Blastocystis, a unicellular parasite found in the human gastrointestinal tract, has been a topic of study due to its potential pathogenicity. This study identified potential virulence factors within Blastocystis subtypes ... -
Exploring potential analytical methods for determination of glycerol-3-phosphate in human plasma
(Master thesis, 2023)Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition where the kidneys gradually lose their ability to function properly. Biomarkers that indicate immediate renal tissue injury is needed for improved detection of early ... -
Exposure and effects of synthetic enhanced oil recovery polymers on the Norwegian Continental Shelf
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-12)Synthetic polymers are planned to be used for more efficient oil recovery from offshore oil reservoirs. Using synthetic polymers offshore may lead to these being released into the marine environment through produced water ... -
Faunal and Microbial Sediment Community Disturbances Caused by Organic and Inorganic Contamination
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06)There are ongoing developments to enable treatment of oil based drill cuttings with subsequent deposition offshore rather than the current practice to transport and treat such material on land. A sample from a step in the ... -
Feasibility study of cost-effective nutrient media for microalgal growth within the aquaculture industry in a circular economy context
(Master thesis, 2023)Microalgal biotechnology has been growing and expanding tremendously in recent years in various sectors. Being metabolically flexible, microalgae can adapt to demanding and even extreme growth conditions. Multiple applications ... -
Feasibility study of polyetherimide membrane for enrichment of carbon dioxide from synthetic biohydrogen mixture and subsequent utilization scenario using microalgae
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In this work, the potential of utilizing a polyetherimide (PEI) hollow-fiber membrane to separate synthetic biohydrogen mixture (H2/CO2) was studied. From the gas separation experiments, where the effects of feed to permeate ... -
Field test investigation of the performance of corrosion inhibitors: a case study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-09)Corrosion is considered one of the major problems that affect flow assurance during hydrocarbon production. This irreversible phenomenon has the ability to cause serious material failure in the oil and gas industry. ... -
Finite-temperature single molecule vibrational dynamics from combined density functional tight binding extended lagrangian dynamics simulations and time series analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Combining a computationally efficient and affordable molecular dynamics approach, based on atom-centered density matrix propagation scheme, with the density functional tight binding semiempirical quantum ... -
First delirium episode in Parkinson’s disease and parkinsonism: incidence, predictors, and outcomes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-10)To define the incidence, predictors and prognosis of the first hospital delirium episode in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonism (AP), we identified the first hospital episode of delirium after diagnosis in ... -
Food Microstructure and Fat Content Affect Growth Morphology, Growth Kinetics, and Preferred Phase for Cell Growth of Listeria monocytogenes in Fish-Based Model Systems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-06)Food microstructure significantly affects microbial growth dynamics, but knowledge concerning the exact influencing mechanisms at a microscopic scale is limited. The food microstructural influence on Listeria monocytogenes ... -
Forekomst av Listeria monocytogenes i et matfiskanlegg i Hardangerfjorden
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-06-15)I denne masteroppgaven er forekomsten av bakterien Listeria monocytogenes undersøkt i et oppdrettsanlegg for atlantisk laks (Salmo salar). Endringer i forekomsten ble observert for å undersøke tilstedeværelse og mulige ... -
Fosfomycin and Its Derivatives: New Scale Inhibitors for Oilfield Applications
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Aminomethylenephosphonate-based scale inhibitors (SIs) have been widely studied and recognized for several decades to mitigate various oilfield scales. However, most of these compounds afforded several drawbacks, such as ... -
Frailty in Parkinson's disease and its association with early dementia: A longitudinal study
