Investigating subcellular structures in micro-organisms using infrared spectroscopy-based techniques – comparison between the latest micro and nano infrared technologies
(Master thesis, 2023)Infrared spectroscopy is a widely used method to investigate biological samples. The approach enables chemical information of molecules by evaluating the wavenumber dependent absorption of the sample. Infrared microscopic ... -
Investigating the effects of methanol on ammonia-oxidising archaea in marine sediment microcosms
(Master thesis, 2023)Ammonia-oxidising archaea (AOA) are dominant in nutrient-scarce marine sediments and are important primary producers sustaining the activity of other microorganisms. They are also assumed to be globally important producers ... -
Investigating the effects of novel heat and high pressure processing on Listeria and Bacillus inactivation in a model food
(PhD Thesis;2015:62, Doctoral thesis, 2018-05-02)Thermal processing is a common method for controlling foodborne pathogens in various ready-to-eat (RTE) products. Traditional processes that involve static heating often result in undesirable quality changes in foods. ... -
Investigating the Glacial Geomorphology of Western Sørkapp Land, Svalbard: Mapping and Developing a Glacial Land System
(Master thesis, 2023)The Arctic is warming almost four times faster than the rest of the world and will experience numerous changes in both the close and far away future due to global warming and climate change. Many of these changes are ... -
Investigating the need for and interest in offering honey bee pollination services in apple production : perspectives from growers and beekeepers in Midt-Telemark, Norway
(Master thesis, 2020)Studies show that having an abundance of honey bees, Apis mallifera, can increase yield and quality in fruit production. Managed honey bee pollination services may be a contributing factor to agricultural productivity. ... -
Investigating the proliferative effects of seven vegetable-derived protein hydrolysates on bovine skeletal muscle cells
(Master thesis, 2022)The cultured meat industry is rapidly growing and secured 1.38 billion$ in investments for 2021. Up to 95% of the total production cost is tied to the use of fetal bovine serum. Therefore, the most pressing issue for the ... -
Investigating the Relationships between Basic Tastes Sensitivities, Fattiness Sensitivity, and Food Liking in 11-Year-Old Children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This study investigates the relationships between basic tastes and fattiness sensitivity and food liking in 11-year-old children. The basic taste sensitivity of 106 children was measured using different methods, namely ... -
Investigating The Role of FOXO1 in the Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells towards Chondrodytes
(Master thesis, 2012-10-15)Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have a profound potential in regenerative medicine. MSCs ability to differentiate into various tissue types in vitro provides a promising approach to tissue engineering and subsequently ... -
Investigating the Role of Methylation and Glycosylation in Protecting Fungal Lytic Polysaccharide Monooxygenases from Auto-Oxidative Inactivation
(Master thesis, 2023)Global warming and the pending energy crisis pressure the search for effective utilization of renewable energy sources. Biomass has long been discussed to be such an energy source, but the recalcitrant constituents, such ... -
An investigation into the use of spent activated carbon in the filtration of PFAS contaminated leachate
(Master thesis, 2022)Per- og polyfluoralkylstoffer (PFAS) er syntetiske organiske kjemikalier som har skadelige effekter på menneskers helse og miljø. Flere forurensa plasser kommer fra tidligere bruk av PFAS-holdig brannslukkningsskum. En ... -
Investigation of active packaging methods to improve quality and shelf life of meat
(Master thesis, 2014-08-07)It is well known that Active packaging, like the use of modified atmosphere, gives an improved quality on fresh food products and extended shelf life. The need of active packaging is partly due to the increasing demand of ... -
Investigation of earthworms from the Chernobyl NPP exclusion zone and Fukushima NPP 100 km area : uptake of 137Cs and comparison of ecological groups
