Determination of antibiotic resistance in clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(Master thesis, 2023)Bakterien Pseudomonas aeruginosa er en gram-negativ opportunistisk patogen bakterie som kan infisere mennesker med nedsatt immunforsvar, slik som pasienter født med den recessivt arvelige sykdommen cystisk fibrose (CF). ... -
Determination of volatile emissions from indoor wood surfaces
(Master thesis, 2023)Wood is an important material widely utilised in construction, furniture manufacturing as well as for floor and wall coating in indoor environments. To improve material durability and for preservation purposes, wood materials ... -
Determination of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in work-room air using direct-reading PTR-MS and traditional air sampling methodologies
(Master thesis, 2010-10-29)PTR-MS was evaluated up against traditional air sampling methodologies by choosing compounds that were tested by injecting a known amount of reference compounds into the test chamber to create artificial atmospheres. ... -
Determining monoacylglycerol positional isomers as trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatives by GC-MS
(Master thesis, 2021)Monoacylglycerols (MAG) are constituents of milk lipids that are always present at low levels but also one end products of triglyceride (TAG) digestion. The most abundant type of lipids found in milk. The position at which ... -
Developing and validating tests for a metabolic model of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Master thesis, 2020)The fish farming industry is expanding, and to achieve economic and ecological sustainability, new fish feeds are being developed. When developing new feeds, it can be useful to first simulate on a computer how the biological ... -
Development and application of an isomer specific quantification method for perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) in Arctic environmental samples
(Master thesis, 2023)Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are anthropogenic, persistent pollutants found all over the world. These compounds have the ability to repel both water and oil, and are known for their durability. Since the 1950s ... -
Development and evaluation of prediction equations for NIR instrument, measuring fat in Atlantic Salmon (salmno salar ) fillets, using multivariate methods.
(Master thesis, 2012-09-11)Knowledge of fat in salmon is extremely important to salmon breeder and the whole salmon industry. By monitoring fat in salmon fillet, huge amount of money will be saved. Several methods are available to determine fat in ... -
Development of a CRISPR/Cas9 editing system for antigen knock-in in Lactiplantibacillus plantarum WCFS1
(Master thesis, 2022)Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been used in food products for hundreds of years and are commonly used in food fermentation, therapeutics, and for health promotion. They are “Generally Recognized as Safe”, have excellent ... -
Development of a gut microbiota diagnostic tool for pediatric inflammatory bowel disease based on GA-map^TM technology platform
(Master thesis, 2012-10-12)Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an idiopathic, severe disease, which is characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The incidence of IBD has increased through the last decades and specially ... -
Development of a liquid chromatography mass spectrometry method for the determination of tryptamines in whole blood
(Master thesis, 2021)The recent development and distribution of new psychoactive tryptamines has caused increased use in Norway. This has exposed a need to develop sensitive and robust determination methods for forensic cases involving ... -
Development of a method for identification and quantification of polycyclic musks in sewage water
(Master thesis, 2013-08-23)Polycyclic musks are a class of fragrances used as additives in personal care products. Because of their use patterns, the majority ends up in wastewater, and ultimately the environment through sewage effluents and use of ... -
Development of a method to study cell division
(Master thesis, 2021)Cell migration and proliferation play an essential role in wound healing, development, and tumorigenesis. Observing cell behavior through microscopy can give an insight to cell behavior and study cell migration and ... -
