The Soil Bacterium Methylococcus capsulatus Bath and its Interactions with Human Immune Cells in vitro
(PhD Thesis;2017:94, Doctoral thesis, 2017)Whereas a role for commensal microbes in the development and normal function of the immune system is well established, a potential role for environmental bacteria in regulating immunity has been widely disregarded. However, ... -
Thermodynamic aspects of processive enzymatic degradation of recalcitrant polysaccharides
(PhD Thesis;2015:46, Doctoral thesis, 2020-11-13)Carbohydrates play diverse, essential roles in all known organisms. These include roles in storage and structure as well as specific signaling roles. One carbohydrate can be linked to other carbohydrates or functional ... -
Three PLS-based methods for variable ranking and interaction detection
(Master thesis, 2014-07-11)Abstract: Variable ranking can be important for the analysis of high-dimensional data. Identifying a subset of relevant variables can be useful both for subsequent model construction and for further investigation of the ... -
Tillaging av Seterettede Mutanter i Human Chitotriosidase
(Master thesis, 2012-11-13)Kitin er et uløselig og lineært polysakkarid som består av N-acetylglukosaminenheter bundet sammen med β-1,4-bindinger. Kitin finnes ikke naturlig i kroppen, men mennesker kan likevel produsere humane kitinaser som degraderer ... -
Tilsetning av kostfiber som fetterstatter i pølser
(Master thesis, 2015-07-09)Formålet med oppgaven var å undersøke muligheten for tilsetning av kostfiber som fetterstatter i et farseprodukt, og med dette oppnå et produkt innenfor kriterier for nøkkelhullsmerking. Kriteriene for å oppnå nøkkelhullsmerking ... -
Time restricted eating and effects on metabolic syndrome and health markers for metabolic syndrome : a systematic review of human clinical trials
(Master thesis, 2023)Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of risk factors that significantly increase the likelihood of developing chronic health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and non-alcoholic fatty ... -
Toleranse hos Listeria monocytogenes fra kjøttindustri for benzalkoniumklorid i suspensjon og biofilm

Total synthesis as a tool for structural elucidation of some marine lipid natural products
(PhD Thesis;2017:32, Doctoral thesis, 2017)Paper I describes the total synthesis of the proposed structure of mucosin, a C20 fatty acid, isolated from a Mediterranean sponge, Reniera mucosa. The synthetic pathway started with the transformation of 1,4-cyclohexadiene ... -
Totalsyntese av Alkaloidet (±)-Powelline
(Master thesis, 2011-11-18)Mange alkaloider viser interessante farmakologiske virkninger. Dette gjelder blant annet krinin alkaloidene fra Amaryllidaceae familien. Målet med denne oppgaven var å syntetisere krinin alkaloidene (±)-powelline (2) og ... -
Towards Fuligopyrone B: Explorative Work and Route Scouting
(Master thesis, 2024)In 2023, fuligopyrone B was extracted and isolated from Fuligo septica. No remarkable biological activity was observed. It did, however, have a noteworthy UV-absorption at 325 nm. This indicated a potential function as sun ... -
Transcriptomic analysis of pancreatic islet cells derived from stem cells
(Master thesis, 2020)Diabetes mellitus type 1 is an autoimmune disease leading to the destruction of the pancreatic beta-cells. The beta-cells are responsible for secreting the hormone insulin which lowers the blood sugar after a meal. Dysfunction ... -
