Bioaccumulation of amitriptyline via the sediment in the benthic species Nereis virens
(Master thesis, 2021)The presence of antidepressants and other pharmaceuticals in micro concentrations in the marine environment have, in recent years, become a focal area for ecotoxicology. These compounds might have unexpected impacts on ... -
Biochar for adsorption remediation of Ciprofloxacin in wastewater
(Master thesis, 2022)Ciprofloxacin is one of the major pharmaceutical pollutants being fed into waterbodies around the world. It is consumed by humans and animals, passed into the environment mainly through hospital waste. Ciprofloxacin, an ... -
Bioengineered methanotrophic photogranules for tertiary UASB effluent post-treatment.
(Master thesis, 2022)The need for aeration when treating wastewater is the most extensive energy requirement wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) has today. This thesis investigated an attached growth process which utilise genetic features in ... -
Biogas Potential of Municipal Wastewater Treatment using Up-Flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) reactors under Psychrophilic Condition
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06)The operation of two laboratory scale of Up-flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) reactors on treating medium to high strength wastewater (i.e. 500 – 1200 mg COD/l) under psychrophilic conditions (5.5°C) were studied. The ... -
Biological effects of pharmaceuticals around a marine wastewater outfall – a case study in Rogaland, Norway
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-01)In this thesis, farmed Mytilus edulis were caged and deployed at three locations at the coastline of the North Sea to monitor the potential biological effect related to the presence of pharmaceuticals in the marine ... -
Biological response in organisms collected near the discharge point of the wastewater treatment plant of Stavanger
(Studentoppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2021;, Master thesis, 2021-06-01)The effluent from the IVAR SNJ wastewater treatment plant is discharged into the marine recipient Håsteinsfjord in the North Sea, 1.6 kilometers from the coast of the Stavanger peninsula. The treated discharged wastewater ... -
Bioremediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soil; Exploring the viability for contaminated grounds and landfills in Norway
(Master thesis, 2023)The Norwegian approach to contaminated soil management typically involves excavation and transportation of soil to a landfill or redistribution within a construction site if the soil is moderately contaminated. Bioremediation, ... -
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 ... -
Can gut microbial community changes in Atlantic cod be used as biomarker of water pollution?
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-15)The gut microbiome of juvenile Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) was studied to evaluate changes related to the exposure of dispersed crude oil and find potential biomarker of exposures. Fish was exposed to dispersed crude oil ... -
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. ... -
Carbon footprint assessment of the Vega subsea field – a preliminary study for the environmental footprint
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06-15)Subsea tie-in fields on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS) appear to have extremely low greenhouse gas intensity based on available environmental data, as emissions related to offshore oil and gas processing is reported ... -
