Investigating sensitivity and tolerance to chronic gamma irradiation in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans
(PhD Thesis;2020:8, Doctoral thesis, 2020)At the cellular level, excitation and ionization of atoms and molecules constitute the fundamental processes leading to harmful effects induced by exposure to ionizing radiation. However, radiosensitivity, defined as the ... -
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 cardiac health of poultry suffering from wooden breast myopathy
(Master thesis, 2024)Årsak og molekylære mekanismer til wooden breast (WB) i kyllinger er fortsatt ikke godt forstått, men studier viser at det ofte utvikler seg til fibrose i skjelettmuskelen. Hos mennesker fører muskeldystrofier som Duchenne ... -
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 inflammatory effect of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) during sepsis
(Master thesis, 2024)Sepsis er en livstruende tilstand som utgjør en global helsebyrde. Sepsis oppstår når kroppens immunsystem blir dysregulert, dette forårsaker multiorgansvikt som kan føre til død. Å oppdage sykdommen i tidlige stadier ... -
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 potential for nitrous oxide (N2O) production from sediment microbiota, and its potential effect on growth of cobalamin-dependent microalgae
(Master thesis, 2024)Microalgae are important primary producers of marine ecosystems. Many species require cobalamin (Vitamin B12), which is primarily related to the synthesis of methionine, where cobalamin is cofactor for the enzyme methionine ... -
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 ... -
