Screening for tuberculosis infection among newly arrived asylum seekers: Comparison of QuantiFERON®TB Gold with tuberculin skin test
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008)Background: QuantiFERON®TB Gold (QFT) is a promising blood test for tuberculosis infection but with few data so far from immigrant screening. The aim of this study was to compare results of QFT and tuberculin skin test ... -
Screening hypochromism (sieve effect) in red blood cells: a quantitative analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Multiwavelength UV-visible spectroscopy, Kramers-Kronig analysis, and several other experimental and theoretical tools have been applied over the last several decades to fathom absorption and scattering of light by suspensions ... -
Screening LCA of GHG emissions related to LNG as ship fuel
(Master thesis, 2012)In view of the increasingly popular climate change debate worldwide, maritime transport is under pressure to create sustainable solutions for a cleaner future.One of these solutions is using liquefied natural gas (LNG) as ... -

Screening new PFAS compounds 2018
(NILU rapport;, Research report, 2019)This screening project has focused on the occurrence of conventional andemerging PFASs in terrestrial and marine environments, including the Arctic. Conventional PFASs were found to be wide-spread in the environment and ... -
Screening of a New Class of Fluorescent Probes for Diagnosis of Amyloid Deposits
(Master thesis, 2018)The purpose of this project has been to determine photo-physical properties of new and untested fluorescent probes. The probes have a 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (BTD) ring structure and are derivatives of the previously explored ... -
Screening of Aqueous Solvent Systems for Post-Combustion CO2 Capture by Chemical Absorption
(Master thesis, 2016)The atmospheric CO2 concentration we see today has likely not been seen before. As carbon dioxide is a strong greenhouse gas, this is a big red flag towards global warming. A higher mean temperature on earth would lead to ... -

Screening of FDA-Approved Drugs Using a MERS-CoV Clinical Isolate from South Korea Identifies Potential Therapeutic Options for COVID-19
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Therapeutic options for coronaviruses remain limited. To address this unmet medical need, we screened 5406 compounds, including United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs and bioactives, for activity ... -
Screening of Future-Proof Working Fluids for Industrial High-Temperature Heat Pumps up to 250 °C (Part I)
(Chapter, 2021)If industry wants to phase out fossil steam boilers, heat pumps will have to produce steam at a temperature of about 160 °C or higher, as this is a kind of standard in current steam systems. Even 250 °C is used in some ... -
Screening of Future-Proof Working Fluids for Industrial High-Temperature Heat Pumps up to 250 °C (Part II)
(Chapter, 2021)With the new European Green Deal, the EU commission has committed to making Europe the world’s first climate-neutral continent. This also involves reduction of fossil fuel consumption in furnaces and boilers for the ... -
Screening of Inhibition of Calcium Naphthenate Deposition in Crude Oil
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)One of the initial steps in calcium naphthenate deposition is the reaction between ARN and Ca2+ leading to the formation of an interfacial gel. After growing, this gel will form calcium naphthenate deposits that are a ... -
Screening of Inhibitors for Amine Degradation
(Master thesis, 2012)Hindering the degradation of amines in the CO2-capturing process is important both for economical purposes when it comes to loss of solvent and impacts on the process, and to prevent emissions of volatile degradation ... -
Screening of lactic acid bacteria to detect potent biosorbents of lead and cadmium
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)In this study, the ability of 19 strains of local Lactic acid bacteria in reducing Cd (II) and Pb (II) has been evaluated, in vitro. The average uptake of metal ions was determined per cell and the effect of dead and live ... -
Screening of Low Clinker Binders, Compressive Strength and Chloride Ingress
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)This paper reports an initial screening of potential new binders for concrete with reduced CO2- emission. Mortars cured saturated for 90 days are compared with regard to a) compressive strength of mortars with similar ... -
Screening of Molybdenum, Iron and Phosphorus based catalysts for hydrodeoxygenation of Simulated bio-oil as a model liquid product from fast pyrolysis
(Master thesis, 2021)Nine different catalysts were tested for hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of simulated bio-oil which is comprised of a mixture of distill water, acetic- acid, acetol, furfural, phenol, guaiacol and eugenol. The tested catalysts ... -
Screening of strong bicarbonate forming solvents for CO2 capture
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-03)Fifteen bicarbonate forming solvents were tested and compared to 30 mass% MEA using a screening apparatus. Additionally the pKa values of each of the solvents at room temperature were measured. The overall evaluation was ... -
Screening of untreated municipal solid waste incineration fly ash for use in cement-based materials: chemical and physical properties
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The environmental impact during concrete manufacturing can be reduced by using less cement or using types of cement with high amounts of secondary cementitious materials (SCMs) and fillers. Fly ash from municipal solid ... -
