(Master thesis, 2014-02-19)The Network for Innovation and Transfer in Agriculture (RITA) of Mayotte is piloting a project on Recommended Technical Itineraries (ITR). The agricultural school of Coconi is the intermediary of the project. The aim of ... -
Improving the accuracy of genomic predictions in numerically small populations
(PhD Thesis;2016:20, Doctoral thesis, 2017-12-06)Genomic selection (GS) is increasingly being implemented in livestock, especially in the dairy cattle sector. While dairy cattle populations such as Holsteins have benefitted greatly from GS in the accuracy of evaluation ... -
Improving the anaerobic digestion of lignocelluloses and organic wastes: effects of steam explosion, co-digestion and digestate recirculation.
(PhD Thesis;2013:37, Doctoral thesis, 2013)Biogas production is a sustainable bioenergy process very much in demand nowadays for all the benefits it entails. It does not only allow production of clean energy and thus autonomy from fossil fuels, but also the ... -
Improving the Nutritive Value of Barley-Based Broiler Diets by Optimizing NSPase Efficacy through Grinding and Feeding Regimen
(Master thesis, 2023)The present study was an attempt to improve the use of barley as a major cereal grain in broiler diets using NSPase while investigating the effect of feed grinding level and feeding regimen on NSPase efficacy. Furthermore, ... -
Improving the seed yield potential of tetraploid red clover (Trifolium pratense L.)
(PhD Thesis;2016:79, Doctoral thesis, 2016)Tetraploid red clover has similar forage properties as diploid red clover. However, tetraploid red clover plants are taller, have thicker stems, larger leaves and flower heads, and bigger seeds resulting in higher forage ... -
Improving the utilisation of phytate-bound phosphorus in feed for poultry and pigs through increased efficacy of exogenous phytase in the anterior digestive tract
(PhD Thesis;2020:76, Doctoral thesis, 2020)The majority of phosphorus (P) in feedstuffs is present as phytate-P. Phytate is the storage form of P in seeds and grains and consists of an inositol ring with six phosphate groups bound to it. The phytate-P is only ... -

Impurities of glacier ice : accumulation, transport and albedo
(PhD Thesis;2016:70, Doctoral thesis, 2018-05-04)The Greenland ice sheet is the largest ice mass in the Northern Hemisphere and has experienced accelerating mass loss in recent decades. An increase in surface melt is the major cause for the loss of mass. Albedo is a ... -
Imputation to and use of whole genome sequencing for fine mapping and genomic predication in Atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2023)Sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) infestation of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is a significant challenge facing the Aquaculture industry. This parasite is known to be resistant to chemical control. Previous research that ... -
In matters of taste, there can be no disputes : an empirical study of endogenous preferences
(Master thesis, 2020)A fundamental assumption in traditional economic theory is exogeneity of preferences. Economists view preferences as innate characteristics that are stable with regards to time and space. This thesis questions this assumption ... -
In Oil We Trust : a discourse analysis of Norwegian petroleum and environmental policies in the High North

In planta and in vitro studies of interactions between different Fusarium species and the infection of Fusarium langsethiae in oats
(Master thesis, 2012-10-03)Abstract The genus Fusarium includes a diverse range of ascomycete fungi. Some species are known to cause Fusarium head blight (FHB) and other diseases on small grain cereals like oat, wheat and barley all over the world. ... -
In pursuit of significance a foreign policy analysis of Pakistan
(Master thesis, 2020)Pakistan is a young country with a significant foreign policy record. Within a short timeframe, it went from being a front-line state to an insignificant actor, and back to a front-line state again with significance on the ... -
In Quest of the Alanine R3 Radical: Multivariate EPR Spectral Analyses of X‑Irradiated Alanine in the Solid State
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The amino acid L-α-alanine is the most commonly used material for solidstate electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) dosimetry, due to the formation of highly stable radicals upon irradiation, with yields proportional to the ... -
In search of Empirical Evidence for the Relationship Between Collaboration and Project Performance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Existing research suggests a positive relationship between the level of collaboration in projects and project performance in terms of cost, time and quality. However, empirical data to support this are scant and this paper ... -
In silico and in vitro studies of a non-commensal soil bacterium and its interactions with a mammalian host
(Master thesis, 2013-07-08)Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) er en Gram-negativ, metanotrof bakterie. Til tross for at den aldri har vært beskrevet å være en del av tarmflora har M. capsulatus (Bath) vist seg å ha positive effekter ved inflammatoriske ... -
In silico exploration of stx2a-positive (STEC) and stx-negative Escherichia coli (STEC-LST)

In situ benthic flow-through chambers to determine sediment-to-water fluxes of legacy hydrophobic organic contaminants
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Contaminated sediment can release hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) and thereby act as a secondary source of primarily legacy hazardous substances to the water column. There is therefore a need for assessments of the ...
