Location of studies and evidence of effects of herbivory on Arctic vegetation: a systematic map
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Herbivores modify the structure and function of tundra ecosystems. Understanding their impacts is necessary to assess the responses of these ecosystems to ongoing environmental changes. However, the effects of herbivores ... -
Logical and experimental modeling of cytokine and eicosanoid signaling in psoriatic keratinocytes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease, in which immune cells and keratinocytes keep each other in a state of inflammation. It is believed that phospholipase A2 (PLA2)-dependent eicosanoid release plays a key role in this. ... -
Logical Modeling of AML cell line THP-1 function and differentiation into macrophages, using a middle-out approach
(Master thesis, 2021)We successfully conducted an AML related project that using the middle-out ap- proach for a better understanding of the AML cell line THP-1’s behaviour. The rapidly developed omics technology gave us the insight that what ... -
Logical Modeling of Basal Cell Carcinoma Keratinocytes for Drug Target Prediction
(Master thesis, 2022)Keratinocyttkarsinom, nemlig basalcellekreft og plateepitelkreft, er kreft som oppstår på huden hovedsakelig grunnet overdreven soleksponering. Disse hudkreftformene metastaserer sjeldent, men til tross for dette kan de ... -
Logical Modeling of High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer for in silico Prediction of Synergistic Drug Combinations
(Master thesis, 2022)Høygradig serøs eggstokkreft er den vanligste og dødeligste formen for eggstokkreft. Svake og uspesifikke symptomer kombinert med utilstrekkelige screeningmetoder gjør at sykdommen ofte har utviklet seg i lang tid allerede ... -
LOGICAL MODELING OF MACROPHAGE EICOSANOID METABOLISM AND CONTRIBUTION TO COVID-19
(Master thesis, 2021)Macrophages are innate immune cells whose main role is the clearance and phagocytosis of microbes and damaged or stressed cells. Also, as antigen-presentingcells, macrophages constitute a bridge between the innate and the ... -
Logical Modelling of Triple Negative Breast Cancer and in silico DRug Synergy Predictions
(Master thesis, 2022)Brystkreft er den hyppigst diagnostiserte kreften på verdensbasis med mer enn 2 millioner nye tilfeller hvert år, og dette tallet forventes bare å stige. Brystkreft som mangler ekspresjonen av østrogen- og progesteronreseptorene, ... -
Long Distance Guidance and Navigation in Bats
(Master thesis, 2015)The motivation for this master thesis was to investigate whether or not the Mexican fish-eating bat, Myotis vivesi, uses information from the earth's magnetic field for navigational purposes. Other possible navigational ... -
Long Term Degradation of Polymers: Molecular and Macroscopic Effects
(Master thesis, 2013)Hydrolytic degradation in water at elevated temperatures is one of the most important reasons for failure in polymeric materials in offshore flexible risers. In this thesis the ageing of polyamide 11 (PA11) in deoxygenated ... -
Long term effects of red deer browsing and an extreme winter drought event on bilberry in boreal forests
(Master thesis, 2022)Forandringer i klima, arealbruk og viltforvaltning har ført til endringer i nivå og type av forstyrrelser i norske boreale skoger. Blåbær er en nøkkelart i boreale økosystem og det er kjent at den blir påvirket av beiting ... -
Long term stability testing of oxide unicouple thermoelectric modules
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Thermoelectric devices based on oxides are good candidates for energy harvesting technologies for use in aggressive conditions where the materials should withstand high temperatures and corrosive environments over prolonged ... -
Long-distance spin-transport across the Morin phase transition up to room temperature in ultra-low damping single crystals of the antiferromagnet α-Fe2O3
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Antiferromagnetic materials can host spin-waves with polarizations ranging from circular to linear depending on their magnetic anisotropies. Until now, only easy-axis anisotropy antiferromagnets with circularly polarized ... -
Long-Life, Low-Maintenance Coating Systems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)A coating system with low maintenance will often give lower life-cycle costs, in spite of higher costs in the new construction phase. The Public Roads Administration in Norway has been using coating systems consisting of ... -
Long-range transport of pollutants to arctic areas by seabirds
(Master thesis, 2022)Målet i denne oppgaven er å identifisere miljøgifter i arktisk og se om disse har noen sammenheng med fugler i området. Det ble tatt jordprøver fra forskjellige lokasjoner i Kongsfjorden: Ossian Sars, Botnfjell, Storholmen, ... -
Long-ranged triplet supercurrent in a single in-plane ferromagnet with spin-orbit coupled contacts to superconductors
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)By converting conventional spin-singlet Cooper pairs to polarized spin-triplet pairs, it is possible to sustain long-ranged spin-polarized supercurrents flowing through strong ferromagnets. Obtaining such a conversion via ... -
Long-term dynamics, population structure and connectivity of the helmet jellyfish Periphylla periphylla in a Norwegian fjord and adjacent waters
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Mass occurrences of Periphylla periphylla in Norwegian fjords cause major concerns related to potential regime shifts that could affect ecosystem stability. 15 years of trawl data (2006–2015), complemented with comprehensive ... -
Long-term Effects of Seeding in an Alpine Environment: and a comparison of the effect of native Festuca ovina and non-native Festuca rubra on the establishment of native Betula nana
(Master thesis, 2011)As human induced disturbance in alpine ecosystems have increased, more knowledge is needed about the long-term effects of restoration efforts in such environments. There are benefits with using native species in restoration ... -
Long-term Effects of Shifts in Grazing Pressure on Alpine Plant Species along an Elevational Gradient
(Master thesis, 2015)Sheep (Ovis aries) are the main large herbivore in Norwegian mountains during summer and these herbivores have shaped alpine plant communities over a long land-use history. Sheep are selective feeders, and increased livestock ... -
Long-term exposure to elevated carbon dioxide does not alter activity levels of a coral reef fish in response to predator chemical cues
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Levels of dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) projected to occur in the world’s oceans in the near future have been reported to increase swimming activity and impair predator recognition in coral reef fishes. These behavioral ... -
