Modelling the Spread of SARS-CoV-2 in a Hospital Setting
(Master thesis, 2022)Siden det første utbruddet av SARS-CoV-2 i Kina i slutten 2019 har viruset spredt seg til alle deler av verden. Så langt har omkring 540 millioner tilfeller blitt rapportert og over 6 millioner liv har gått tapt som følge ... -
Modelling the transmission of COVID-19 in primary schools
(Master thesis, 2022)Da COVID-19 ble erklært en pandemi våren 2020, ble ulike regler og restriksjoner raskt implementert for å redusere spredning av sykdommen. Blant de som ble hardest rammet av disse tiltakene, finner man barn og ungdom, som ... -
Modelling water and salt diffusion of cold-smoked Atlantic salmon initially immersed in refrigerated seawater versus on ice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The effect of dry salting during the cold-smoking process was evaluated on Atlantic salmon initially stored in refrigerated seawater (RSW) or ice. A 2D mathematical model was developed from first principles, simulating the ... -
Modification and Characterization of the Catalytic Subunit, the A-module, of the Mannuronan C-5 Epimerases AlgE4 and AlgE6
(Master thesis, 2015)Alginate is a family of polysaccharides composed of (1 to 4)-linked beta-D-mannuronic acid (M) and alpha-L-guluronic acid (G), with a wide variety of applications and even greater prospects for the future. Alginate is first ... -
Modified xanthan structure by expression of heterologous glycosyltransferases in a gumI deletion strain and initial polysaccharide characterization
(Master thesis, 2020)Xanthan er en mikrobiell eksopolysakkarid (EPS) med en pentasakkarid repeterende enhet med en ryggrad av β-D-glukose-(1→4)-β-D-glukose med en sidekjede besteående av β-D-mannose-(1→4)-β-D-glukuronsyre-(1→2)-α-D-mannose. ... -
Modulation of calcium-induced gelation of pectin by oligoguluronate as compared to alginate
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Previous studies have demonstrated that oligoguluronate (guluronate block extracted from alginate, GB) was an efficient modulator of the gelation and gelling properties of macromolecular alginate in the presence of calcium. ... -
Molecular adaptations to phosphorus deprivation and comparison with nitrogen deprivation responses in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Phosphorus, an essential element for all living organisms, is a limiting nutrient in many regions of the ocean due to its fast recycling. Changes in phosphate (Pi) availability in aquatic systems affect diatom growth and ... -
Molecular characterization and whole genome epidemiology of Staphylococcus aureus strains
(Master thesis, 2023)Staphylococcus aureus er både en kommensal bakterie som finnes på huden og i nesehulen, og en patogen bakterie kan forårsake en rekke alvorlige infeksjoner. Det er den nest vanligste årsaken til blodstrømsinfeksjon (BSI), ... -
Molecular genetic analysis of the microbial community structure in nitrifying biofilms adapted to different salinities
(Master thesis, 2010)Nitrification, the microbial oxidation of ammonia to nitrate, is a key step inthe biological cycling of nitrogen, and is often used in wastewater treatmentfor removal of ammonium. Fish-farming in flow-through systems such ... -
Molecular insight into a new low-affinity xylan binding module from the xylanolytic gut symbiont Roseburia intestinalis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Efficient capture of glycans, the prime metabolic resources in the human gut, confers a key competitive advantage for gut microbiota members equipped with extracellular glycoside hydrolases (GHs) to target these substrates. ... -
Molecular insights into alginate β-lactoglobulin A multivalencies—The foundation for their amorphous aggregates and coacervation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)For improved control of biomaterial property design, a better understanding of complex coacervation involving anionic polysaccharides and proteins is needed. Here, we address the initial steps in condensate formation of ... -
Molecular profiling of Ductal Carcinoma In Situ
(Master thesis, 2012)Breast cancer develops through multiple stages from hyperplasia to invasive and finally metastatic disease. Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is an abnormal proliferation of epithelial cells within the milk ducts in the ... -
Monitoring Parallel Robotic Cultivations with Online Multivariate Analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In conditional microbial screening, a limited number of candidate strains are tested at different conditions searching for the optimal operation strategy in production (e.g., temperature and pH shifts, media composition ... -
Morphological changes in the frustule of Thalassiosira pseudonana by genetic manipulation and cultivation conditions
(Master thesis, 2021)Kiselalger er den mest utbredte og diversifiserte undergruppen av fytoplankton. De bidrar til omtrent en femtedel av verdens fotosyntese, og produserer årlig mer karbon enn alle verdens regnskoger til sammen. De finnes ... -
MS-proteomics provides insight into the host responses towards alginate microspheres
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Protein adsorption to biomaterial surfaces is considered a determining factor for the host response. Here we detail the protein adsorption profiles of alginate hydrogel microspheres relevant for cell therapy using mass ... -
Mucins: Galectin 3 interactions measured by atomic force microscopy - Carbohydrate antigens in human health and disease
(Master thesis, 2017)Galectins are a family of widely distributed sugar-binding proteins characterized by a specificity for β-galactosides. These lectins are assumed to be involved in diverse biological phenomena critical for multicellular ... -
Mucus barrier components, challenges for nanoscale drug delivery
(Master thesis, 2013)In this present study changes in nanoparticles motion were explored in the presence and the absence of G-blocks in mucus matrices such as; porcine gastric mucus (45 mg/ml), and a mixture of porcine gastric mucus + polymeric ... -
