Engrosbidrag av fett fra norske husdyrslakt
(Master thesis, 2018)Denne masteroppgaven er en undersøkelse av engrosbidraget av fett per person per dag fra kjøtt, inkludert plussprodukter (også kalt spiselige biprodukter), med fokus på norske husdyr. Det er gjort egne beregninger av ... -
Enhancing enzymatic saccharification of spruce by 2-naphthol impregnation during pre-treatment
(Master thesis, 2019)Today, the production of fuels, chemicals and materials is highly dependent on unsustainable fossil reserves. Usage of fossil energy is the key contributor to emissions of greenhouse gasses (GHG). Buildup of GHG such as ... -
Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli O103:H25 modulates expression of LEE-encoded virulence genes in response to direct cell-cell contact with the gut commensal Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron
(Master thesis, 2015-08-03)Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) is a foodborne pathogen of the colon that causes disease with varying severity. Symptoms range from mild diarrhea to hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), which at worst can be fatal. ... -
Enzymatic conversion of cotton textiles
(Master thesis, 2018)Cotton textiles are mass-produced worldwide, but little is done to recirculate this material that is rich in cellulose. Indeed, cellulosic textiles represent a potential resource for the production of glucose, that further ... -
Enzymatic conversion of waste paper to mono- and oligosaccharides
(Master thesis, 2015-07-31)Efficient utilization of waste products is a key step in the transition into a sustainable society. Recalcitrant lignocellulosic biomass is a major constituent of industrial and household waste, and its conversion into ... -
Enzymatic saccharification of the polysaccharides in Saccharina latissima (L.)
(Master thesis, 2020)In a time of great dependence on fossil fuels and rising need for sustainable, renewable resources, seaweeds can be a valuable asset to the new and emerging bioeconomy. Norway is in a unique position because its particularly ... -
Epigenetics : cell-type specific DNA methylation in the developing honey bee (Apis mellifera) brain
(Master thesis, 2014-07-28)DNA methylation is a prominent type of epigenetic modifications. Honey bees (Apis mellifera) serve as a model organism to study epigenetics as they have an epigenetic machinery homologous to mammals. However, the anatomical ... -
Establishment and characterization of a gatekeeper mutation for protein kinase D1 and 3
(Master thesis, 2016-09-07)Protein kinase D constitutes a novel family of Ser/Thr specific kinases and contains three members; PKD1-3. This protein kinase family has been described to carry out different functions and responses at various locations ... -
Establishment of a CD4+ naïve T cell cultivation and stimulation protocol for future studies of cellular responses in rheumatoid arthritis
(Master thesis, 2022)Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex autoimmune disease that primarily causes inflammation in the synovial membrane of joints in the body. It is a multifactorial disease that involves a combination of genetic, epigenetic, ... -
The establishment of a CRISPR-Cas13a diagnostic assay for SARS-CoV-2 detection
(Master thesis, 2020)The scarcity of fast and reliable tests in diagnostic laboratories for detection of pathogens with high sensitivity is a significant disadvantage particularly for critically ill patients. Given the global health crisis ... -
Establishment of multiplexed reduced representation bisulfite sequencing protocol on T-cells from rheumatoid arthritis patients
(Master thesis, 2016-08-10)DNA methylation is an important epigenetic mark with a regulatory effect on the expression of genes. It has also been shown that individuals change their DNA methylation pattern over time. In mammals, methylation only ... -
Estimation of mixture-distributions using the Direct Look-up method
(Master thesis, 2012-10-16)Mixture distributions and models are useful methods of describing data that cannot be estimated with a single probability distribution. Estimating mixture models based on samples from unknown distributions is a highly ... -
Estimation of noise variance with dimension-reducing regression methods
(Master thesis, 2018)The focus of this thesis has been on investigating the performance of some estimators of the noise variance using the dimension-reducing methods PCR, PLSR and a recently developed Bayesian method, Bayes PLS, through a ... -
Estimation of small probabilities with applications to forensic genetics
(Master thesis, 2016-08-10)When determining kinship relations based on genetic material, there is a need to quantify the probability for doing errors. These probabilities are typically very small, but nonetheless important, and needs to be controlled. ... -
Etablering av gendeplesjonssystemet ComRS i et penicillinresistent klinisk isolat av Streptococcus pneumoniae for studier av resistensfaktorer
(Master thesis, 2023)Verdens helseorganisasjon erklærte Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumokokker) som en av 12 prioriterte patogener. Både på grunnlag av dødeligheten og smittsomheten, men og på grunn av den økende forekomsten av antibiotikaresistens, ... -
Evaluation and optimization of procedures for HPV detection and genotyping in oral and urine samples in men
(Master thesis, 2019)Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been well established as a carcinogen in human epithelial cancers; especially in the uterin cervix. Head and neck cancers (HNC) are increasing worldwide despite global reduction in smoking. ... -
Evaluation of GWAS Method Performance Focusing on Population Stratification and Cryptic Relatedness
(Master thesis, 2015-05-28)Genetic association studies are primarily used to identify genes associated with complex disease. It can be conducted by genotyping intentionally selected or randomly chosen markers. Numerous statistical and computational ... -
Evaluation of Liquid Array Diagnostics for microbiota-based diagnosis of dysbiosis
(Master thesis, 2018)The human gut contains a complex community of microorganisms that impact our health and general well-being. Based on observed microbial patterns, a balanced composition can be defined, known as normobiosis. Deviations from ... -
