Assessment of Water Temperatures and Substrate Composition in relation to Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) Production in the River Kvina, Norway
(Master thesis, 2014-08-04)Kvina is a heavily modified river that has faced many alterations of great magnitude caused by anthropogenic activity. Parts of the Kvina watercourse have been transferred to the Sira watercourse, contributing to the ... -
Assessment of yield point methods in monotonic and cyclic load tests : an experimental investigation of mechanical fasteners in solid wood panel
(Master thesis, 2018)Nowadays, there are several proposed methods of deciding the yield point when calculating the results from an experimental research on timber structures with mechanical fasteners. How does this affect the analysis of the ... -
Assessments of rooting, vegetative growth, bulb production, genetic integrity and biochemical compounds in cryopreserved plants of shallot
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Shallot (Allium cepa var. aggregatum), a small bulb onion, is widely grown in the world. We previously reported a droplet-vitrification for cryopreservation of in vitro-grown shoot tips of shallot genotype ‘10603’. The ... -
Assessments of the future role of bioenergy in the Nordic energy and forest sectors
(PhD Thesis;2020:64, Doctoral thesis, 2020)This thesis presents studies that describe different consequences of increased use of forest resources for energy purposes. Forest biomass is widely used in many different applications; in recent years, biofuel has been ... -
Assessments of traffic pollutants along a rural highway roadside in southern Norway by quantifying lichen responses
(Master thesis, 2013-07-08)The overall objective of this thesis was to investigate responses of epiphytic lichens to traffic related pollutants and to get new insight into accumulation and despersal of airborne pollutants. This was done in short ... -
Assessments of vibrational properties of timber joist floors
(Master thesis, 2018)Timber joist floors, being light weight structures and having low natural frequencies, are especially vulnerable towards both structural vibration and sound transition through the structure. Vibrations are a serviceability ... -
Assigning delivered prey to visited habitat : the potential of combining video monitoring at nest and radio telemetry tested on female Eurasian kestrels (Falco tinnunculus)
(Master thesis, 2012-10-03)In this study I used a combination of video monitoring and high intensity radio telemetry to assign specific prey items to habitat visited by female Eurasian kestrels (Falco tinnunculus) during the breeding season of 2011 ... -
Assimilation of GNSS observations in a nowcasting numerical weather prediction model
(Master thesis, 2020)Nowcasting, a very short-term weather forecasting, has been more and more used in the later years, due to improved forecast models and more computing power. More frequent weather forecast updates depend on observations ... -
