Characterization and expression analysis of the key genes for early development of swim bladder in Atlantic cod
(Master thesis, 2017)Some genes have been proved critical for swim bladder inflation during early stages. Hence, our researches were focused on the investigation into the genetic features of the key genes to early development of Atlantic cod ... -
Characterization and optimization of the ParB_INT imaging tool
(Master thesis, 2020)Partitioning B (ParB) proteins are key to the prokaryotic partitioning machinery which ensures proper segregation of replicated plasmid DNA strands. ParB proteins bind specifically to a centromere-like parS sequence, from ... -
Characterization of binding ability of the commercial and novel feed binders in starch and protein based particles
(Master thesis, 2020)Pelletization aims to agglomerate a small particle of feed to become a larger particle using pressure, moisture, and heat. Pellets must have a basic form of physical quality in terms of hardness and durability to withstand ... -
Characterization of chromatin-bound interactome of cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12)
(Master thesis, 2020)Proper gene expression relies on control by an abundant number of factors and mechanisms, and the orchestration of these fine-tuned programs is fundamental in cellular functionality. Transcription regulation by RNA polymerase ... -
Characterization of Computational Pipelines for Structural Variant Detection Using Short-Read Sequencing Data in Arctic Charr.
(Master thesis, 2023)Structural variants (SVs) are an important emerging class of genomic variation with pivotal implications for evolution, adaptation, and phenotypic diversity. As a cold-water salmonid fish displaying extensive niche variation ... -
Characterization of Functional Physical Properties of The Dry Pet Food Manufactured with Animal, Plant, and Microalgae Ingredients
(Master thesis, 2021)The aim of the thesis is to gain better understanding on the effects of defatted microalgae biomass (Desmodesmus sp.), vital wheat gluten and potato protein on physical qualities of extruded dry pet food. Two experiments ... -
Characterization of genes and proteins related to chitin metabolism in Atlantic salmon
(PhD Thesis;2022:46, Doctoral thesis, 2022)Chitin is an insoluble polysaccharide and important component in the extracellular matrix of invertebrates such as arthropods, algae, and fungi. In vertebrates, the role and significance of chitin have not been deeply ... -
Characterization of genes and gene products influencing carotenoid metabolism in Atlantic salmon
(PhD Thesis;2017:36, Doctoral thesis, 2017)Distinct red flesh color is a unique trait of the fish genera Oncorhynchus, Salvelinus, Salmo and Parahucho. In this thesis we have investigated its molecular basis in Atlantic salmon to better understand how and why it ... -
Chemical changes seen in protein during pelleting : a literature review
(Master thesis, 2017)Pelleting induced changes in protein denaturation with exposure to heat is to milder level. Denaturation of protein showed better digestibility of protein molecule. Change in the secondary structure i.e. alpha helix, beta ... -
Choosy chicks : chicken life quality is a matter of choices

Clicks and bricks : assessing the viability of a food cooperative in Central Pennsylvania
(Master thesis, 2017)As interest in local foods reaches previously unfathomable heights in the United States, there is a growing diversity of business models to bolster local food economies and increase access to a wider range of high quality ... -
Climate change resilience through enhanced reproduction and lactation performance in Malawian Zebu cattle
(Master thesis, 2016)Malawi is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change in the world, and the site of our investigation, Bolero EPA (Extension Planning Area), Rumphi District, is particularly exposed. Climate change lead to a ... -
Cloning and characterization of Cas9 in IPEC-J2 cells for CRISPR screens against porcine E. coli pathogen
(Master thesis, 2021)Bakgrunn Svin er ofte brukt husdyr i landbruket, brukt primært for dets kjøtt. Et ofte forekommende problem i svineindustrien er diare forårsaket av bakterier, hvor enterotoksinproduserende Escherichia coli(ETEC) er en ... -
Co-design methodology : design process of an innovative experimental orchard in Southern France, Drôme
(Master thesis, 2017)Fruit production is among the crops using the most pesticides, affecting both the quality of the environment and human health. In this context, the INRA Gotheron experimental station (Drôme, France) leads a project to test ... -
Co-developing a cereal network in Pajottenland, Belgium : a participatory action research to empower farmers within a region
(Master thesis, 2018)In Belgium only 15% of wheat for human consumption and less than 4% of barley used by national breweries are grown on Belgian territory. In order to overcome this shortage, farmers and processors joined hands in the region ... -
Colonization and the Decline of Indigenous Food Systems, A Case Study of Finger Millet in Chikuwa, Zimbabwe
(Master thesis, 2023)Indigenous food systems play a critical role as we battle with global climate change. These still exiting smallholder farmers sustain much or the world biodiversity and ancient land-based wisdom. Although these food systems ... -
