Metabolism and function of β-1,3-glucan in marine diatoms
(Dr.ingeniøravhandling, 0809-103X; 2002:4, Doctoral thesis, 2002)β-1,3-Glucan (chrysolaminaran) is the principal storage polysaccharide in diatoms (Bacillariophyceae), the major primary producers in the sea. The glucan generally contributes a substantial fraction of the algal biomass, ... -
Concentrations and speciation of Cu, Zn, Cd, and Al in mine-polluted Norwegian rivers : influence of main water parameters and consequences to fish
(Doctoral thesis, 2002)This thesis presents concentration and speciation data for Cu, Zn, Cd, and Al in eight highland rivers and streams in the Røros area, central Norway. About 16 sampling campaigns were performed before, during and after ... -
Characterisation and optimisation of the polymer electrolyte fuel cell
(Dr. ingeniøravhandling, 0809-103X; 2002:37, Doctoral thesis, 2002)This thesis presents work performed on five subjects of the polymer fuel cell: • A polymer fuel cell test-facility was optimised. A fuel cell housing was designed and built, enabling measurements of ocal fuel cell ... -
Degradation of polymeric and particulate organic carbon in biofilms
(Dr. ingeniøravhandling, 0809-103X; 2003:101, Doctoral thesis, 2003)Polymeric and particulate organic carbon (POM) are fundamental compounds in the global cycling of carbon, and constitute significant amounts of BOD in municipal wastewater. The main objective of this work is to study ... -
Work Hardening and Mechanical Anisotropy of Aluminium Sheets and Profiles
(Dr. ingeniøravhandling, 0809-103X; 2003:105, Doctoral thesis, 2003)The processing of aluminium alloys from casting to end product is associated with a large number of metallurgical phenomena. In order to further improve and optimise process routes and alloys, a thorough understanding of ... -
