(Master thesis, 2024)Basalcellekarsinom (BCC) er den vanligste typen hudkreft. Selv om de fleste kreftlesjoner vellykket fjernes gjennom operasjon, er de tilgjengelige behandlingsmetodene for metastatisk og lokalt avansert BCC assosiert med ... -
Investigating the Role of Stress Responses in Escherichia coli in Persister Formation through Persister Quantification of relA and rpoS null mutants
(Master thesis, 2021)Bakterier som overlever behandling med antimikrobielle stoffer, er et økende, globalt problem og er estimert å kunne bli årsaken til 10 millioner dødsfall innen 2050 om dagens trend, med høy bruk og lav utvikling av ... -
Investigating the use of dip-coating and angle dependent dip-coating for deposition and synthesis of CZTS thin films for use in PV applications
(Master thesis, 2019)CZTS thin films were synthesized, with fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) on soda-lime glass (SLG) as a substrate, by means of dip-coating and angle dependent dip-coating. The experimental procedure involved using thiourea as ... -
Investigating thermal donors in n-type Cz silicon with carrier density imaging
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)A new method to map the thermal donor concentration in silicon wafers using carrier density imaging is presented. A map of the thermal donor concentration is extracted with high resolution from free carrier density images ... -
An investigation into animal personality in early benthic phase European lobster (Homarus gammarus)
(Master thesis, 2016)Consistent individual differences in behavior, also known as animal personality, have been described across a wide range of taxa. In this study, evidence for animal personality was investigated in the European lobster, an ... -
Investigation into the effects of inhibiting cytosolic phospholipase A2 alpha on the proliferation of an immortalized keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT).
(Master thesis, 2020)Psoriasis er en vanlig kronisk inflammatorisk sykdom som er karakterisert ved hyperproliferering og unormal differensiering av epidemis. Det er ingen kur, og det har vært lite forbedring i utviklingen av nye behandlinger ... -
Investigation into the Performance of Candle Filter Technology for the Separation of Metal Hydroxide Precipitates from an Aqueous Effluent
(Master thesis, 2014)The effluent treatment plant at Glencore Nikkelverk experiences the generation of liquid waste from various areas and processes in the plant. Being primarily a nickel refinery, but also producing copper and cobalt, the ... -
Investigation into the presence of polyphenols and carotenoids in the two seaweed species Alaria esculenta and Saccharina latissima, with a focus on extracting, purifying, and characterizing the xanthophyll fucoxanthin.
(Master thesis, 2021)Kultivering og utnyttelse av tare som en bærekraftig kilde til fornybare ressurser har de siste årene fått mye oppmerksomhet. Forskning på antioksidanter som polyfenoler og karotenoider fra bruntare har spesielt fått mye ... -
