Sensitivity to gamma radiation of Scots pine seedlings grown from seeds developed under elevated levels of ionizing radiation
(Master thesis, 2021)As being sessile, plants are generally exposed to background levels of ionizing radiation in their natural environment due to cosmic radiation as well as alpha-, beta- or gamma- emitting radionuclides in naturally occurring ... -
Sensory quality of Atlantic salmon as affected of fish size and fillet part
(Master thesis, 2017)The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of body weight and fillet parts on sensory quality of raw and cooled salmon fillets and consumer preference of cooked salmon fillets. Three groups of salmon with ... -
Sequencing and mapping of bread wheat chromosome 7B
(PhD Thesis;2014:68, Doctoral thesis, 2014)The rapid development in DNA sequencing technologies in the recent years have led to the sequencing of several large and complex plant genomes including maize. Recently, the International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium ... -
Ser vi den første brunsten hos NRF-kviger?
(Master thesis, 2016-03-07)Den første brunsten som fører til eggløsning hos ei kvige innleder puberteten. Første brunst og første eggløsning er ikke nødvendigvis sammenfallende. Før puberteten er et faktum, kan det oppstå korte og uregelmessige ... -
Sheep breeding schemes for Iceland
(Master thesis, 2011-10-04)Altogether 540 alternatives for the Icelandic sheep breeding scheme were evaluated by stochastic simulation of a breeding population with about 120.000 ewes, considering the genetic gain for an aggregate genotype including ... -
Sheep breeds in contrasting environments - pasture utilization at different spatiotemporal scales
(PhD Thesis;2018:24, Doctoral thesis, 2018)In Norway, approximately 2 million sheep are released onto outer fields for summer grazing. Indeed, during the summer months sheep are the most common large herbivores in most Norwegian mountain areas. The sheep, of which ... -
Simulating future climate scenarios : the effect on nitrogen utilization in organic fertilizers on carrot crops
(Master thesis, 2021)The agricultural industry's impact on biodiversity loss and greenhouse gas emissions necessitates addressing the use of nitrogen (N) in agroecosystems. This study explores the role of organic fertilizers, such as manure, ... -
Simulation analysis of the impacts of climate change and scenarios of adapted cropping practices on the risk of brown rust development in winter wheat.
(Master thesis, 2020)The challenge of climate change in agriculture is a global threat and to meet the demand for food of future generations and ensure global food security, there is a great need to use agroecological measures to reduce or ... -
Simulation study on the long term utilization of QTL for a disease trait in fish breeding programs
(Master thesis, 2012-06-21)The aim of this study was to investigate, through stochastic simulation, the potential of using genome information and more particularly, information on the identified IPN resistance QTL in salmon breeding program in ... -
Skin health and product quality of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar L.) fed increased LC-PUFAs from micro algae (Schizochytrium sp.)
(Master thesis, 2023)The Atlantic salmon is a valuable protein source that can increase food security for the growing world population. However, there is an urgency of novel sustainable ingredients to support production growth in the Aquaculture ... -
Small dogs display more aggressive behaviour than large dogs in social media videos
(Master thesis, 2019)Due to potentially greater vulnerability to accidents and attacks, the behaviour of small dogs may reflect greater threat sensitivity and need for protection than that of large dogs. Based on this hypothesis, I predicted ... -
SMIL-midler i Vestfold : bønders motivasjon for gjennomføring og opprettholdelse av SMIL-tiltak i gammel kulturmark
(Master thesis, 2016-06-28)Landbrukets kulturlandskap er formet av tradisjonell jordbruksdrift over lang tid, og utgjør viktige leveområder for biologisk mangfold. Utviklingen i det norske landbruket med redusert drift og beitebruk i kulturlandskapet ... -
Social farming in France : therapeutic benefits and sustainability of social farms
(Master thesis, 2021)Social farming is a concept that uses agricultural activities for social or therapeutic purposes. Social farms may benefit various target groups such as: young persons experiencing difficulties, the elderly, disabled people, ... -
Social interactions and cortisol levels in blood of dairy goats (Capra hircus) housed in three different densities during pregnancy
(Master thesis, 2012-09-06)Domesticated goats (Capra hircus) are social species that live in groups. Throughout the world goats are kept in different systems, and on different densities when housed indoors. There is no Norwegian requirement stating ... -
Social interactions, time activity budgets and movement patterns in dairy goats (Capra circus) housed in two different group sizes
(Master thesis, 2015-07-10)Goats are, like most farm animals, group living animals. In todays animal husbandry of goats there is considerable variation in group size. Larger group sizes are generally associated with less aggressive interactions and ... -
Social learning in alternative food networks creates pragmatic changes for community based agrarian resource management
(Master thesis, 2016)The need for more sustainable management of natural resources is becoming increasingly important as the global population increases. The implementation of management strategies are showing signs of change as a response to ... -
Socio-Ecological Resilience in a Southern California Dryland Agroecosystem: Contributions from General and Specified Resilience
