(Master thesis, 2012-06-18)Reiselivsnæringen er en av verdens raskest voksende næringer, og Norge har gode muligheter til å ta sin andel av veksten. Skal næringen utnytte seg av utviklingen er det en forutsetning å ha en markedsorientering basert ... -
Selection of trees marked by rubbing by Andean bears in the Peruvian dry forest
(Master thesis, 2016-08-31)The Andean bear (Tremarctus ornatus) is one of the least known species of Ursidae. One area about which very little is known is the bear’s marking behavior. This is a key aspect of bear ecology and marks can give information ... -
Sensitivity analyses of the weather research and forecasting model for wind resource assessment in coastal Ghana
(PhD Thesis;2019:105, Doctoral thesis, 2019)With the rise of modern wind turbines, wind energy has grown to become a major source of generated electricity, alongside other renewable and conventional energy sources. The geographical and time dependent nature of wind ... -
Separation and quantification of microplastics from beach and sediment samples using the Bauta microplastic-sediment separator
(Master thesis, 2017)Microplastic pollution is a topic of scientific interest globally. The environmental impacts caused by microplastics have spurred research focusing on separation and quantification of microplastics from soil and sediments ... -
Sesongvariasjoner av kvikksølv og uran samt andre grunnstoffer i Nøklevann og vannforekomster i tilhørende nedbørfelt (Hauktjern, Kroktjern, Lutvann, Rundtjern, og Solbergvann).
(Master thesis, 2016-08-09)Denne oppgaven undersøker sesongvariasjoner av ulike parametere i innsjøer i Østmarka. Prøvene ble tatt 02.03.15 (vinter), 20.05.15 (vår), 12.08.15 (sommer) og 26.10.15 (høst). De utvalgte prøvetakingslokalitetene i Østmarka ... -
Sex allocation in Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) ; do gut parasites and maternal body condition determine the sex of the fetus?
(Master thesis, 2022)Sex ratio is one of the most central demographic factors influencing species population dynamics. Intuitively, fetal sex ratio is a chance event resulting in 50 % males and 50 % females entering the population. However, ... -
Sexual dimorphism and visitation effects on fruit set in the alpine gynodioecious Silene acaulis at Finse, Norway.
(Master thesis, 2015-08-10)The abundance of pollinators in alpine areas are scarce due to harsh and unstable weather conditions. This scarcity can lead to pollen limitation in unisexual plants and drive evolution towards self-compatible plants. ... -
Sheep grazing effects on soil carbon and nitrogen and implications for runoff water quality at a low alpine site in southern Norway
(2011;2011:10, Doctoral thesis, 2011)Grazing in outlying fields has a long history and is important in local communities worldwide. Alpine ecosystems, representing a large proportion of the land area in Europe, are under pressure from changes in climate and ... -
Shifts in plany communities caused by vegetation clearing in power-line corridors
(Master thesis, 2014-09-15)Habitat modification has been identified as one of the major threats to biodiversity and has increased over recent years due to growing human population and demand for resources. One omnipresent form of habitat modification ... -
Short-term effect of water sprinkling on the two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae) in strawberry
