Decentralization and liberalization of seeds and plant genetic resources regulations in Europe : a Danish case study
(Master thesis, 2018)In a context of severe plant genetic diversity erosion, the regulatory framework of the European Union is perceived as a limiting factor for practices aiming to conserve cultivated biodiversity. To create more supportive ... -
Defense priming and epigenetic mechanisms in regulating resistance against Botrytis cinerea in strawberry
(Master thesis, 2018)Botrytis cinerea is a necrotrophic pathogen that is reported to cause disease in more than 1400 plant species. Each year the fungi cause yield losses of great economic importance and is the most important pathogen in ... -
Degradation and digestion of wheat and legume starch in broiler chickens as affected by pelleting and extrusion
(Master thesis, 2019)Starch is a quantitatively most important source of energy in broiler chicken diets. Diets may contain up to 50% starch on a dry matter basis. Despite high starch contents in the diet, broiler chickens can utilize a variety ... -
Deltakende modellering for agroøkologisk overgang Studie av akse 4 i TRAVERSéESprosjektet i Barrois-regionen
(Master thesis, 2023)Ecophyto II+ promotes the mobilisation of stakeholders as one of the new action levers, to achieve its goal of reducing the use of phytosanitary products by 50% by 2025. The TRAVERSéES project is part of this second Ecophyto ... -
Demografiske og arbeidsrelaterte faktorer assosiert med smerter i nakke, skulder og øvre del av ryggen
(Master thesis, 2011-08-25)Bakgrunn: Muskelskjelettlidelser er den vanligste årsaken til sykefravær og uføretrygding i Norge. Det å ha et arbeid vil for de fleste ha stor betydning for helse, identitet og følelse av tilhørighet. Det er derfor viktig ... -
Density dependent foraging ecology and performance of domestic sheep on alpine ranges
(PhD Thesis;2012:2, Doctoral thesis, 2012)Populations of large herbivores are strongly influenced by density dependent and independent processes such as climatic variability, which have common effects on individual performance and demographic rates. However, little ... -
Derivation of economic values for important production traits in Atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2020)Atlantic salmon breeding programs selected several traits simultaneously. Lack of economic values may lead to inappropriate relative weighting of the traits selected for and with a suboptimal long-term genetic gain of the ... -
A descriptive study of the physical quality of commercial broiler pellets across the world
(Master thesis, 2021)This thesis work intends to give a general insight into commercial broiler pellets' physical quality and discuss the differences from a scientific point of view. The samples were delivered to the Norwegian University of ... -
Designing the optimal free stall for dairy cows : effects of free-stall design on cleanliness, milk yield, health, and behaviour
(PhD Thesis;2011:42, Doctoral thesis, 2011)Liggebåsens utforming er av stor betydning for blant annet hygiene og kuenes atferd i et løsdriftfjøs ettersom kua tilbringer hoveddelen av tida si her, hovedsakelig liggende men også stående i båsen. For å unngå at kua ... -
Det sosiale båndet mellom menneske og katt
(Master thesis, 1998)Etterhvert er man blitt mer klar over kjæledyrets rolle som sosial partner, og ikke bare som et slags terapeutisk objekt. I 1994 utførte Zasloff og Kidd en spørreundersøkelse i USA for å øke kunnskapen om forhold mellom ... -
Detection and genotyping of Atlantic salmon structural variants with genome graphs
(Master thesis, 2022)Structural variants (SVs) are defined as genomic rearrangements of 50 base pairs (bp) or larger. Although they are less frequent in the genome, they can account for ten folds more variable base pairs than the widely studied ... -
