Application of Aerogel-based plaster for refurbishment and preservation of a listed historic masonry building in Norway : an in-situ energy efficiency study
(Master thesis, 2018)This thesis examines the energy efficiency effects of refurbishing historic masonry buildings in a Norwegian climate with the use of an aerogel-based plaster (FIXIT222) for cold side insulation. Additionally, it aims to ... -
Application of waterborne electrical resistivity tomography and ground penetrating radar in the delta area of Numedalslågen, Norway
(Master thesis, 2018)Two non-invasive geophysical methods have been tested in the lowermost reaches of the river Numedalslågen, Southern Norway. The aim were to estimate thickness of sediments, possible layering and the depth to the bedrock. ... -
Arctic fox (Vulpes Lagopus) use of feeding dispensers and bait stations in Central Norway : impact of intra-guild competition and rodent abundance
(Master thesis, 2015-03-10)Despite being protected since 1930 in Norway, the arctic fox has not recovered. The small population size, lack of food availability and competition by the red fox are suggested to be the main reason inhibiting the recovery. ... -
Area use of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) and brown trout (Salmo trutta) in an Arctic fjord system - a two year acoustic telemetry study
(Master thesis, 2016-04-04)The Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus (L.) and the brown trout Salmo trutta L. are fish species with complex and comparable life strategies. However, there are also differences between the two species. The migratory behavior ... -
Area uses and general habitat preferences of ospreys
(Master thesis, 2021)The area uses and general habitat preferences of ten ospreys from south-eastern Norway were studied in their home ranges, wintering areas, and during their migrations. The ospreys were tracked using GPS transmitters and ... -
Arealbrukseffeker i livsløpsvurderinger : kvantifisering av effekt på biodiversitet ved bygging av Eiriksdal vannkraftverk
(Master thesis, 2012-08-21)Kapittel to innledes med en presentasjon av studieområdet for Eiriksdal kraftverk. Informasjonen er hentet fra Konsesjonssøknaden, Fagrapport for biologisk mangfold og tilgjengelig kartdata. Kapittel tre går nærmere inn ... -
Arsen (As), brom (Br) og bly (Pb) i morsmelk og urin blant ammende mødre bosatt i Oslo, Norge : interaksjoner som påvirker nivået
(Master thesis, 2017)Morsmelk er den ideelle næringen for optimal vekst, helse og utvikling for små barn, men det kan også være en kilde til miljøgifter. På grunn av rask vekst, umodne nyrer samt lever, og et nervesystem under utvikling, er ... -
Arthropod biomass and abundances in mature clear-cut versus mature near-natural boreal forests in southeastern Norway
(Master thesis, 2022)The loss of biodiversity in forest ecosystems has led to a discussion on conservation-oriented forest management, particularly in intensively managed boreal forests of the northern hemisphere. Clear-cutting is the most ... -
Arthropod succession following a mass mortality event of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) in an Alpine ecosystem
(Master thesis, 2020)Carcasses are of great ecological importance, especially as a resource for arthropods. However, many aspects of carrion ecology remain to be investigated. One of these aspects is the ecological significance of mass mortality ... -
Assemblage structure of fruitfeeding nymphalids (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae) in floodplain and upland forest at Cocha Cashu, Peru
(Master thesis, 2016-08-08)The Amazon is widely recognised as the most biodiverse area in the world. Within the Amazon, large tracts of forest are flooded each year, resulting in two dominant forest types – terra firme, unflooded forest and várzea, ... -
Assessing accuracy of using unmanned aerial system in forest inventory
(Master thesis, 2016-08-10)Few studies have used unmanned aerial systems (UASs) in forest inventory, and few studies have compared airborne laser scanning (ALS) and UASs. In the present study, a UAS was used in a forest inventory. Based on the UAS ... -
