Identification of efficient and affordable technologies for sustainable production of biodiesel from various bio-resources
Gebremariam, Shemelis Nigatu (PhD Thesis;2019:88, Doctoral thesis, 2019)Population growth and a significant improvement in living standards in most parts of the world has resulted in an increasing energy demand. Fossil fuels are used for most of the world’s energy demands. However, fossil fuels ... -
Mathematical modelling of the drying kinetics of Jatropha curcas L. seeds
Keneni, Yadessa Gonfa; Hvoslef-Eide, Trine; Marchetti, Jorge Mario (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Jatropha (Jatropha curcas L) seed contains non-edible oil, which is suitable for biodiesel production. The present research focused on the mathematical modelling of the drying kinetics of Jatropha seeds at a storage moisture ... -
Matsikkerhet og urbant landbruk : hvordan kan privat, småskala, ikke- kommersiell dyrking i byen bidra til økt selvforsyning?
Pettersen, Maria (Master thesis, 2023)Økende usikkerhet for fremtiden er grunnen til at matsikkerhet har fått større plass på den politiske dagsorden i Norge (Dombu et al., 2021). Klimaendringer og covid-19-pandemien har ført til økt oppmerksomhet rundt ... -
Occurrence of plant-parasitic nematodes on enset (Enset ventricosum) in Ethiopia with focus on Pratylenchus goodeyi as a key species of the crop.
Kidane, Selamawit Araya; Meressa, Beira H.; Haukeland, Solveig; Hvoslef-Eide, Trine; Magnusson, Christer; Courvreur, Marjolein; Bert, Wim; Coyne, Danny L. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Enset (Ensete ventricosum) is an important starch staple crop, cultivated primarily in south and southwestern Ethiopia. Enset is the main crop of a sustainable indigenous African system that ensures food security in a ... -
Optimization of the production of biofuel form Jatropha oil using a recyclable anion-exchange resin
Keneni, Yadessa Gonfa; Hvoslef-Eide, Trine; Marchetti, Jorge Mario (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The study of an anion-exchange resin (Amberlyst A26 (OH)) catalyzed transesterification of Jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.) oil was conducted to determine the effects of three variables: reaction temperature, ethanol: oil ... -
Plant-parasitic nematodes of the Ethiopian food security crop enset (Ensete ventricosum) : occurrence, distribution, characterisation and management
Kidane, Selamawit Araya (PhD Thesis;2021:32, Doctoral thesis, 2021)To confront the challenges of eradicating hunger and improve food security, agricultural growth needs to be driven by intensification. This in turn increases the threat of pests and diseases, including plant-parasitic ... -
Review of CRISPR-assosiated proteins, their functions and patent situations
Fonarev, Nikita (Master thesis, 2019)CRISPR-Cas (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) systems are a new revolutionary gene editing tool. CRISPR-Cas was originally discovered as a defense mechanism in bacteria and archaea. CRISPR has ... -
Scandinavian perspectives on plant gene technology: applications, policies and progress
Eriksson, Dennis; Brinch-Pedersen, Henrik; Chawade, Aakash; Holme, Inger B.; Hvoslef-Eide, Trine; Ritala, Anneli; Teeri, Teemu H.; Thorstensen, Tage (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Plant research and breeding has a long and successful history in the Scandinavian countries, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. Researchers in the region have been early in adopting plant gene technologies as they ... -
Techno-economic performance of different technological based bio-refineries for biofuel production
Gebremariam, Shemelis Nigatu; Hvoslef-Eide, Trine; Terfa, Meseret Tesema; Marchetti, Jorge Mario (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)There are different technologies for biodiesel production, each having its benefits and drawbacks depending on the type of feedstock and catalyst used. In this study, the techno-economic performances of four catalyst ... -
The Ethiopian staple food crop enset (Ensete ventricosum) assessed for the first time for resistance against the root-lesion nematode Pratylenchus goodeyi
Kidane, Selamawit Araya; Meressa, Beira H.; Haukeland, Solveig; Hvoslef-Eide, Trine; Coyne, Danny L. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Pratylenchus goodeyi appears to be the most prevalent nematode pest of enset in Ethiopia, where it can occur in extremely high densities. However, the damage to yield or how different enset cultivars react to the nematode ...
