Objective methods of classification for beef- and pork carcases as a basis for evaluation of carcase yield
(PhD Thesis;2024:13, Doctoral thesis, 2024)Yield within the meat industry refers to the ratio and weight of tissues from the carcase. Carcase classification gives each carcase grades that determine the price paid for the carcase. Two aspects are especially important ... -
Navigating Model Drift: A Case Study on Classifying Occupations Using Textual Data
(Master thesis, 2023)Data underlying any machine learning model is prone to change over time in a process called model drift. The extent of change and effect on the model performance should be monitored in production settings to avoid decreasing ... -
Exploring variability of perceptions and heterogeneity of opinions
(Dr. Philos. thesis;2023:2, Doctoral thesis, 2023)The manuscripts in this thesis introduce new sensometric methods. Some methods investigate the variability of perceptions in sensory studies involving trained or consumer panels. Other methods explore the heterogeneity of ... -
Fungi to leather: The use of wood-digesting fungi to produce alternative materials.
(Master thesis, 2023)There is an increasing demand for ecofriendly alternative materials. One approach for new material technology may be mycelium-based materials. Mycelium is a complex network of cells formed by fungi, which has been utilized ... -
Studies of Cyclization Reactions for the Formation of Carbazole Alkaloids
(Master thesis, 2023)Karbazol-alkaloider er en gruppe naturstoffer kjent for sine spennende biologiske aktiviteter. Karbazol-alkaloidet Clausenalansine A ble isolert fra frukten til Clausena lansium og har vist nevrobeskyttende aktivitet mot ... -

An investigation of the interplay between in situ hydrogen peroxide production and catalytic efficiency in lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase reactions
(PhD thesis;2022:27, Doctoral thesis, 2022)Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are mono-copper enzymes that catalyze oxidative depolymerization of recalcitrant carbohydrate substrates, such as chitin and cellulose. LPMOs have received much attention from ... -
Examining the Applicability of Functional Principal Component Analysis by Conditional Expectation (PACE) in Cervical Dilation Data from the Labour Progression Study
(Master thesis, 2023)Functional Data Analysis (FDA) is a method for extracting information from curves or functions based on time-related processes with discrete measures. This thesis explores the methodology for constructing and analysing ... -
No man's land - An investigation of development of azole resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus within border zones surrounding golf fields.
(Master thesis, 2023)This project, conducted within the framework of the Navazole project, addressed the growing concern of azole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus strains and their impact on humans, animals, and the environment. The aim was to ... -
Attempted Stereoselective Syntheses of 3-Hydroxy Fatty Acids
(Master thesis, 2023)Syntheses of and with Braun’s chiral auxiliary (R)-(+)-2-acetoxy-1,2,2-triphenylethanol were explored, for the syntheses long-chain 3(R)-hydroxy-oxylipins. The chiral auxiliary was used to stereoselectively synthesize ... -
Determination of volatile emissions from indoor wood surfaces
(Master thesis, 2023)Wood is an important material widely utilised in construction, furniture manufacturing as well as for floor and wall coating in indoor environments. To improve material durability and for preservation purposes, wood materials ... -
Exploring the potential for novel prebiotics
(Master thesis, 2023)Abstract Despite emerging evidence showing the connection between health and gut microbiota, there is still much unknown. Previous research has examined the ability of the common gut bacteria Bacteroides spp. to degrade ... -
Bacteriocins : from discovery to characterization and applications
(PhD thesis;2023:74, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Multidrug resistant bacteria have become a major concern in both human and veterinary medicine. Due to the waning efficacy of many antibiotics, new antimicrobial agents are needed. Bacteriocins are ribosomally ... -
Bruk av Liquid array diagnostics teknologien for å evaluere oral mikrobiota i en diagnostisk setting
(Master thesis, 2023)En balansert oral mikrobiota er viktig for å opprettholde oral og generell helse. Svekkelse av mikrobiell homeostase kan føre til en dysbiotisk tilstand i munnen. Det er blitt stadig mer anerkjent at oral mikrobiota har ... -
Deciphering the Mechanistic Nuance of LPMOs: The Critical Role of Second Sphere Glutamine/Glutamate Residue and Electron Donors
(Master thesis, 2023)Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are crucial copper-dependent redox enzymes renowned for ability to oxidize recalcitrant polysaccharides, such as cellulose and chitin. Although they possess significant ... -
Analyse av mRNA i rettsgenetisk sammenheng
(Master thesis, 2023)Helt siden 1980-tallet, har DNA fra biologisk åstedsmateriale blitt brukt til å identifisere berørte i ulike straffesaker (1). Alle individer har et unikt genmateriale og dermed også en unik DNA-profil. Dette kan utnyttes ... -
Exploration of the plastic-binding potential of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases
(Master thesis, 2023)Lytiske polysakkaridmonooksygenaser (LPMO-er) er enkelt-kopper enzymer som besitter en unik egenskap til å oksidere krystallinske overflater av motstandsdyktige polysakkarider som er utilgjengelige for konvensjonelle ... -
