Investigating the prospect of using the yellow fluorescent protein mutant YFP3G as a pressure sensor in plants
(Master thesis, 2018)Plants have no skeleton, but instead get their structural support from a hydrostatic pressure called turgor pressure pressing against a strong cell wall. This pressure can reach up to 2 MPa, and is also an important part ... -
Investigation of `glitches' in the energy spectrum induced by single-crystal diamond compound X-ray refractive lenses
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Single-crystal diamond stands out among all the candidate materials that could be exploited to fabricate compound refractive lenses (CRLs) owing to its extremely stable properties. Among all related experimental features, ... -
Investigation of a Water Fraction Meter Based on the High Frequency Electromagnetic Field Technique Using an Uninsulated Inside Coil
(Master thesis, 2013)An uninsulated inside coil configuration of the water fraction meter designed by Hammertech AS has been investigated. The general principle behind the water fraction meter is to detect induced eddy currents in conductive ... -
Investigation of Co2AlO4/CeO2 Catalyst for N2O Abatement using Electron Microscopy Techniques
(Master thesis, 2014)A N2O abatement catalyst of a Co2AlO4 active phase and CeO2 support phase has been investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and scanning electron microscopy ... -
Investigation of glitches induced by single-crystal diamond compound refractive lenses based on crystal orientation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Single-crystal diamond is considered as an ideal material for compound refractive lenses (usually abbreviated to “CRLs”) mainly due to its stability when bathed in strong X-ray radiation. Since CRLs come into operation by ... -
Investigation of Methods for 2D Strain Imaging of Brain Tumors
(Master thesis, 2014)Intraoperative ultrasound strain imaging displays brain tissue stiffness rather than difference in mass density as regular B-mode imaging. A glioma (the most common type of brain tumor) has a tendency of infiltrating ... -
Investigation of Neural Network Auto Encoders as Means of Initialisation
(Master thesis, 2021)Initialisering av vekter i kunstige nevrale nettverk har fått mye oppmerksomhet i litteratur. Det kan ha en signifikant effekt på konvergensrate, varians, generalisering og ytelse. Til tross for dets viktighet, er ... -
Investigation of Raman scattering phenomena in the development of mid-IR ultra-short laser pulses
(Master thesis, 2015)In this thesis both a raman spectrometer and a dispersion measurement setup for fibers was designed, built and automatized. Furthermore several nonlinear phenomena were researched and with two different approaches simulated. ... -
Investigation of some compounds and gold nanoparticles for photodynamic therapy
(Master thesis, 2018)In this thesis several chemical compounds for possible use as photosensitizers (PS) in photodynamic therapy (PDT) have been investigated. First a photophysical characterization was performed using different spectroscopic ... -
Investigation of Spin Coating Cerium-Doped Hydroxyapatite Thin Films with Antifungal Properties
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In this study, the cerium-doped hydroxyapatite (Ca10−xCex(PO4)6(OH)2 with xCe = 0.1, 10Ce-HAp) coatings obtained by the spin coating method were presented for the first time. The stability of the 10Ce-HAp suspension particles ... -
Investigation of Transfection Using Silica-coated Cupric Oxide Nanowires
(Master thesis, 2013)One-dimensional high aspect ratio nanostructures grown from a copper foil are considered for intracellular delivery of bioactive molecules, such as drugs and genetic material. The cupric oxide (CuO) nanowires are coated ... -
Investigation of Unoccupied Electronic Bands in Graphene
(Master thesis, 2018)In recent years, a lot attention has been paid to various two-dimensional materials due to their unique properties stemming from the spacial refinement of one of the material's dimensions. Regardless of the incredible ... -
Iron oxide nanocrystals clustered in oil-in-water nanoemulsions: Preparation, characterization, and transverse relaxivities
(Master thesis, 2015)Iron oxide nanocrystals (IONCs) have attracted extensive interest due to their high magnetization that efficiently decreases the transverse relaxation times of water protons. The increase in their transverse relaxivities ... -
Iron-Mediated Growth of Graphene on SiC for Radiation Detection
(Master thesis, 2017)A proposed radiation sensor exploits graphene's high electron mobility and sensitivity to miniscule electric fields to attain a novel approach for radiation detection. Realizing such a sensor is contingent on controlled ... -
Is the doped MoS2 basal plane an efficient hydrogen evolution catalyst? Calculations of voltage-dependent activation energy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Transition metal dichalcogenides are cheap and earth-abundant candidates for the replacement of precious metals as catalyst materials. Experimental measurements of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), for example, have ... -
