Calorimetry and exergy analysis in the context of renewable energy devices:: Supercapacitors and Solid State Thermoelectric Devices
(Master thesis, 2014)The motivation for this master thesis is to establish methods for thermal characterization of technolog- ical devices necessary in a renewable energy society. More specifically in this thesis supercapacitors and thermoelectric ... -
Campaign For Hyperspectral Data Validation In North Atlantic Coastal Waters
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The high photosynthetic productivity of the Mausund bank on the coast of mid-Norway has given the area important economic and ecologic value. Monitoring chlorophyll-a (chl-a) production can assist in managing the local ... -
Can a meteor measure vertical winds?
(Master thesis, 2014)In the first part of this thesis the zonal and meridional tilt of the SKiYMET Meteor Radar at Dragvoll (63.4 N 10.5 E) has been found using two different methods. The average zenith angle model found the zonal tilt to be ... -
Can attraction to and competition for high-quality habitats shape breeding propensity?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022) -
Can bats sense smoke during deep torpor?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)While torpor is a beneficial energy-saving strategy, it may incur costs if an animal is unable to respond appropriately to external stimuli, which is particularly true when it is necessary to escape from threats such as ... -
Can Environmental Features Explain Variation in Free Ranging Sheep Mortality Exposed to Eurasian Lynx Predation?
(Master thesis, 2015)The recovery of large carnivores in Europe has led to widespread and chronic conflicts because of their depredation on livestock, which can have important economic implications for farmers. The conflict between Eurasian ... -
Can hyperspectral imaging be used to map corrosion products on outdoor bronze sculptures?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The application of hyperspectral imaging in the field of cultural heritage investigation is growing rapidly. In this study, short wavelength infrared hyperspectral imaging (960–2500 nm) has been explored as a potential ... -
Can integrated livestock-fish culture be a solution to East Africa’s food insecurity? A review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Integrated livestock-fish culture approach envisages the integration of fish farming with cattle, sheep, goats, poultry, pigs or rabbit husbandry in a design allowing wastes from one system to be used as inputs in another ... -
Can lipidomics help identifying egg quality in ballan wrasse?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) is in the limelight of aquaculture research due to the species role as cleaner fish in salmon aquaculture. A major drawback is that the salmon industry still depends on wild caught fish as ... -
Can Local Stress Enhancement Induce Stability in Fracture Processes? Part I: Apparent Stability
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)By comparing the evolution of the local and equal load sharing fiber bundle models, we point out the paradoxical result that stresses seem to make the local load sharing model stable when the equal load sharing model is ... -
Can Local Stress Enhancement Induce Stability in Fracture Processes? Part II: The Shielding Effect
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)We use the local load sharing fiber bundle model to demonstrate a shielding effect where strong fibers protect weaker ones. This effect exists due to the local stress enhancement around broken fibers in the local load ... -
Can mesopelagic mixed layers be used as feed source for salmon aquaculture?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Salmon aquaculture is in great need of good quality balanced protein and lipid sources, particularly marine omega-3 (n-3) long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA), to sustain a further development of the industry. ... -
Can mesopelagic mixed layers be used as feed sources for salmon aquaculture?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Salmon aquaculture is in great need of good quality balanced protein and lipid sources, particularly marine omega-3 (n-3) long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA), to sustain a further development of the industry. ... -
Can redox reactions be studied with RETIS?
(Bachelor thesis, 2020) -
Can seasonal fire management reduce the risk of carbon loss from wildfires in a protected Guinea savanna?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Fire is fundamental to the functioning of tropical savannas and routinely used as a management tool. Shifting prescribed burning from later to earlier in the growing season has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas ... -
Can starling eggs be useful as a biomonitoring tool to study organohalogenated contaminants on a worldwide scale?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Large-scale international monitoring studies are important to assess emission patterns and environmental distributions of organohalogenated contaminants (OHCs) on a worldwide scale. In this study, the presence of OHCs was ... -
Can Temperature-Programmed Techniques Provide the Gold Standard for Carbon Surface Characterization?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Due to their chemical and thermal stability, electrical conductivity, and high specific surface areas, nanocarbons and porous carbon materials have found use in numerous key applications within the current transition of ... -
Can variation in standard metabolic rate explain context- dependent performance of farmed Atlantic salmon offspring?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Escaped farmed Atlantic salmon interbreed with wild Atlantic salmon, leaving off- spring that often have lower success in nature than pure wild salmon. On top of this, presence of farmed salmon descendants can impair ... -
Can we thrift shop biodiversity? Translocation of Topsoil from a Road Construction Site to Increase Native Biodiversity in an Urban Landscape
(Master thesis, 2023)Restaurering av plantemangfold i artsfattige urbane områder er avgjørende for å reparere fragmentert natur. Det kan utføres ved å translokere toppjord fra artsrike områder, hvor både frøbanken og plantenes tilpassede ... -
Can zeolites, specifically zeolite 13X, be an efficient CO2 capture agent for post-combustion technologies in the industry?
(Bachelor thesis, 2022)Økende konsentrasjoner av klimagasser er en medvirkende årsak til global oppvarming og klimaendringer, hvor CO2 er den viktigste. For å redusere den økende mengden CO2, er karbonfangst foreslått for å redusere CO2 utslipp ...
