Quantification of Specific Adhesive Interactions between Wild Type and Mutant Saccharomyces cerevisiae and relevant Lectins using Optical Tweezers.
(Master thesis, 2014)The cell surface of yeast cells are covered with a specific set of molecules that are involved in cellular communication, adhesion and microbial infection. In an effort to expand the knowledge of the relevant interactions ... -
Quantifying environmental impacts of cleaner fish used as sea lice treatments in salmon aquaculture with life cycle assessment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Increasing pressure of sea lice, development of multi‐resistance to chemotherapeutants, and alternative delousing strategies have been raising concerns about the environmental impacts of salmon farming. Ectoparasitic sea ... -
Quantifying fixed individual heterogeneity in demographic parameters: Performance of correlated random effects for Bernoulli variables
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)1. An increasing number of empirical studies aim to quantify individual variation in demographic parameters because these patterns are key for evolutionary and ecological processes. Advanced approaches to estimate individual ... -
Quantifying Growth of Anisotropic Gold Nanoparticles and Understanding Growth Mechanisms
(Master thesis, 2021)Studiet av anisotrope gullnanopartikler (AuNPs) og deres vekst er et område av stor interesse på grunn av deres bemerkelsesverdige biokompatible og plasmoniske egenskaper. Disse egenskapene er sterkt avhengig av størrelse ... -
Quantifying professionalism in peer review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background The process of peer-review in academia has attracted criticism surrounding issues of bias, fairness, and professionalism; however, frequency of occurrence of such comments is unknown. Methods We evaluated ... -
Quantifying regional feed utilization, production and nutrient waste emission of Norwegian salmon cage aquaculture
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)ABSTRACT: We analyzed growth performance and waste emissions of cage aquaculture responding to biophysical conditions that vary along the coastline of Norway. The analysis is based on a published mass balance model predicting ... -
Quantifying the grain boundary segregation strengthening induced by post-ECAP aging in an Al-5Cu alloy
(Journal article, 2018)Hardening on annealing (HOA) has been frequently observed in nanostructured metals and alloys. For nanostructured materials obtained by severe plastic deformation (SPD), HOA has been attributed to the reduction of dislocation ... -
Quantifying the hydroxyapatite orientation near the ossification front in a piglet femoral condyle using X-ray diffraction tensor tomography
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)While a detailed knowledge of the hierarchical structure and morphology of the extracellular matrix is considered crucial for understanding the physiological and mechanical properties of bone and cartilage, the orientation ... -
Quantifying the influence of the stratosphere on the mesosphere and lower thermasphere
(Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2015:22, Doctoral thesis, 2015)In this thesis, the influence of the major modes of stratospheric variability - the seasonal cycle and sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) in the extratropics, and the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) in the equatorial ... -
Quantitative (S)TEM analysis of intermediate band solar cell materials
(Master thesis, 2011)In this thesis the strain properties of two InAs/GaAs quantum dot intermediate band solar cell materials have been explored. Both samples were thin films grown on a (100) GaAs substrate. The quantum dot material was InAs, ... -
Quantitative 3-D colocalization analysis as a tool to study the intracellular trafficking and dissociation of pDNA-chitosan polyplexes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Multichannel microscopy is frequently used to study intermolecular interactions and spatial relationships between biomolecules and organelles or vesicles in cells. Based on multichannel images, quantitative colocalization ... -
Quantitative 3D Imaging and Metrology Using Coherent X-ray Scattering
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2017:300, Doctoral thesis, 2017)This thesis has focused on exploring methods of using coherent X-ray scattering at synchrotron sources. New imaging techniques using coherent X-ray scattering have been investigated, and it has been discussed how limitations ... -
Quantitative 3D X-ray Imaging of Densification, Delamination and Fracture in a Micro-Composite under Compression
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Phase-contrast three-dimensional tomograms showing in unprecedented detail the mechanical response of a micro-composite subjected to a mechanical compression test are reported. The X-ray ptychography images reveal the ... -
Quantitative analysis of tumor heterogeneity based on magnetic resonance images
(Master thesis, 2019)Background: Solid tumors are commonly heterogeneous because they consist of cancer cells with different aggressiveness. In quantitative cancer imaging, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the heterogeneity will not ... -
Quantitative Analysis of Vascular Function in Malignant Tumours
(Master thesis, 2018)Sammendrag: Formålet med denne avhandlingen var å undersøke den vaskulære funksjonen i ondartede svulster ved hjelp av histologiske og immunohistokjemiske (IHC) snitt og se etter assosiasjoner med magnetresonanstomografi ... -
Quantitative analysis of {100} Al plate/lath- and Al rod-shaped precipitates in an aged Al-Cu-Mg-Si alloy using TEM
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Precipitate parameters, such as length, diameter and thickness of rationally oriented {100}Al plate/lath-shaped and Al rod-shaped precipitates in an age-hardenable Al-Cu-MgSi alloy have been examined quantitatively. An ... -
Quantitative and qualitative consequences of reduced pollen loads in a mixed-mating plant
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Greater pollination intensity can enhance maternal plant fitness by increasing seed set and seed quality as a result of more intense pollen competition or enhanced genetic sampling. We tested experimentally these effects ... -
