Oat breeding in the era of genomics : resistance against Fusarium
(PhD Thesis;2024:9, Doctoral thesis, 2024)In Norway, oat, along with wheat and barley, constitute one of the three major crops, valued as a break crop due to its minimal disease overlaps with the others. However, a significant threat to the cereal crops, particularly ... -
One moment in time : Gene expression analysis of honey bees; nurse bees v.s. foragers
(Master thesis, 2012-06-14)Honey bees live in complex societies based on a division of labour. The honey bee workers specialise in different tasks throughout their lives, starting off as nurse bees and ending as foragers. The nurse bees and foragers ... -
Operational optimization of Biofilm Membrane BioReactor (BMBR) for decentralized wastewater treatment
(Master thesis, 2018)Biofilm Membrane BioReactor (BMBR) is a promising technological combination of moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) with membrane bioreactor (MBR) for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment. It has resulted in prominent ... -
Optimal Contribution Selection applied to the Norwegian Cheviot Sheep population
(Master thesis, 2016-08-18)Managing inbreeding is essential for all breeding work, especially in small populations. Optimal Genetic Contribution (OCS) is a selection method that restricts inbreeding while maximizing genetic gain. The aim of this ... -
Optimal feeding rate for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
(Master thesis, 2011-10-04)The aim of this study was to define optimal feeding rates for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Four experiments were carried out to evaluate the effect of feeding rate on growth performance of larger and juvenile ... -
Optimal process water supplementation and ratio between corn gluten meal and soy protein concentrate to secure good physical pellet quality and minimize energy use during extrusion processing of fish feed
(Master thesis, 2015-11-05)The objective of this experiment was to find out which combination of water/steam addition and plant protein ingredient mix that gives best physical quality and process economy. The design was, however, restrained by a ... -
Optimal use of plant protein concentrates in extruded feeds for carnivorous fish
(PhD Thesis;2011:53, Doctoral thesis, 2011)The main objective of the research presented in this thesis was to evaluate multiple amino acidsupplemented plant protein concentrates as the main protein source in diets for carnivorous fish. This objective was approached ... -
Optimization and assessment of Omega-3 fatty acids from high-dimensional spectroscopic data in the Atlantic salmon breeding programs
(Master thesis, 2023)Atlantic salmon is well known as a rich source of Omega-3 fatty acids (in particular, ALA, DHA, and EPA), and these fatty acids are heritable, thus, the selection of parents will influence their levels in the offspring. ... -
Optimization of CRISPR-Cas9 Genome Editing in Human PBMCs
(Master thesis, 2023)Targeted genomic manipulation by the Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated (Cas) nuclease system has the ability to make precise changes in mammalian genomes. Furthermore, the ... -
Optimization of exogenous gene expression in Atlantic Salmon fibroblast
(Master thesis, 2023)Den atlanterhavslaksen er en stor del av flere økosystemer, inkludert det norske økosystemet, og er avgjørende for norsk økonomi (Aandahl & Hestvik, 2023). For å forstå dens anatomiske mekanismer og potensial for genetisk ... -
Optimization of Greenhouse Waterlogging Tolerance Screening and Low-Cost Seminal Roots Phenotyping Methods for Spring Wheat
(Master thesis, 2023)Abstract Climate change projections predict that precipitation in Norway is likely to increase, and flooding and waterlogging scenarios will likely be more frequent in the future. Wheat is sensitive to waterlogging ... -
Optimization of regeneration of red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) cultivars ‘Veten’ and ‘Ninni’ using different light qualities
(Master thesis, 2020)Customizable light technology is becoming commercially available to producers, giving opportunity to increase control in plant production systems. Understanding of how specific light qualities affect different species and ... -
Optimizing methods for isolation and in vitro cultivation of primary cardiomyocytes from Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)---A study of cellular responses to hydrogen peroxide, lipo-polysaccharide and docosahexaenoic acid
(Master thesis, 2015-08-18)Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) has been the most produced species in Norway. However, production related losses remain significant recent years, and a large proportion of this were due to viral diseases. Among these ... -
Optimizing methods for studies of adipose tissue function in atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2013-10-21)Cell culture of adipocytes is a valuable research tool for studies of adipose tissue functions. The first aim of this thesis was to optimize culture conditions for Atlantic salmon primary cells derived from the adipose-derived ... -
Organisk avfall som vekstmedium og næring for solbær (Ribes nigrum L.) på intensivt grønt tak og sosiale effekter av urbant landbruk
(Master thesis, 2018)Til urban dyrking i bykjernen er det vanlig å kjøpe jord siden jorda i byen ofte er forurenset. En sirkulær økonomi, med fokus på avfallshåndtering, er derfor en forutsetning for at urban dyrking skal være bærekraftig. ... -
