(Master thesis, 2014-09-24)The objective of this study was two-sided; to establish if there was a difference of mercury (Hg) and selenium (Se) in pike (Esox lucius) from two areas of the Glomma catchment area in Østfold County, Lake Djupetjern and ... -
Comparison of area use and movement behavior in wild and escaped farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) before and during spawning in the river Namsen.
(Master thesis, 2014-07-31)Abstract The fish-farming of Atlantic salmon has been a rapidly growing industry recent years, and constitutes one of the biggest threats to the wild Atlantic salmon populations along the Norwegian coast. In the present ... -
Comparison of EIQ and PRIMET models to assaee the impact of pesticide use of smallholder cocoa production in western Ghana
(Master thesis, 2017)Risk assessments of agricultural systems in Ghana are often performed to ascertain the level of risk posed by agrochemicals released during application. In this thesis two risk assessment models EIQ and PRIMET are compared ... -
Comparison of treatment and fouling mitigation efficiency of organic and inorganic coagulants in biofilm membrane bioreactor
(Master thesis, 2019)Membrane bioreactors is an exemplary practice of sustainable wastewater treatment. Novel methods and approaches incorporating MBR allow not only treat wastewater with excellent efficiency, but also recover nutrients, recycle ... -
Comparison of two models used for forecasting of codling moth (Cydia pomonella) in Norway
(Master thesis, 2017)The codling moth (Cydia pomonella L.) is a problematic pest across the world, as well as in the eastern parts of Norway. The adult emerges in mid to late spring, after having overwintered as a fifth instar larvae, and the ... -
Concentration of trace and major elements in mountainous grasslands of Bosnia and Herzegovina in relation to soil properties and plant species
(Master thesis, 2015-11-06)Many grazing animals are solely or mostly dependent for their dietary needs and essential minerals on the forage available, either in its natural state or conserved as hay or silage. A soil and plant survey was carried out ... -
Concentration ratios for radionuclides and stable analogues in Rogaland, Norway
(Master thesis, 2018)Norway may be exposed to radioactive deposition from several potential sources due to the country`s geographical location and meteorological conditions (Bartnicki et al., 2016; Klein & Bartnicki, 2018) and it has been ... -
Condensed tannins in senesced foliage and soil organic layer in response to fertilization in boreal forest ecosystem
(Master thesis, 2021)Anthropogenic nitrogen deposition rate in boreal forests increased over the last century and significantly impacted many parts of these ecosystems. Boreal forests contain a large amount of carbon (C), and nitrogen (N) is ... -
Consequences of reduced sampling intensity for estimating population size of wolves in Scandinavia with spatial capture-recapture models
