Characterization and expression analysis of the key genes for early development of swim bladder in Atlantic cod
(Master thesis, 2017)Some genes have been proved critical for swim bladder inflation during early stages. Hence, our researches were focused on the investigation into the genetic features of the key genes to early development of Atlantic cod ... -
Characterization and optimization of the ParB_INT imaging tool
(Master thesis, 2020)Partitioning B (ParB) proteins are key to the prokaryotic partitioning machinery which ensures proper segregation of replicated plasmid DNA strands. ParB proteins bind specifically to a centromere-like parS sequence, from ... -
Characterization of binding ability of the commercial and novel feed binders in starch and protein based particles
(Master thesis, 2020)Pelletization aims to agglomerate a small particle of feed to become a larger particle using pressure, moisture, and heat. Pellets must have a basic form of physical quality in terms of hardness and durability to withstand ... -
Characterization of chromatin-bound interactome of cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12)
(Master thesis, 2020)Proper gene expression relies on control by an abundant number of factors and mechanisms, and the orchestration of these fine-tuned programs is fundamental in cellular functionality. Transcription regulation by RNA polymerase ... -
Characterization of Functional Physical Properties of The Dry Pet Food Manufactured with Animal, Plant, and Microalgae Ingredients
(Master thesis, 2021)The aim of the thesis is to gain better understanding on the effects of defatted microalgae biomass (Desmodesmus sp.), vital wheat gluten and potato protein on physical qualities of extruded dry pet food. Two experiments ... -
Chemical changes seen in protein during pelleting : a literature review
(Master thesis, 2017)Pelleting induced changes in protein denaturation with exposure to heat is to milder level. Denaturation of protein showed better digestibility of protein molecule. Change in the secondary structure i.e. alpha helix, beta ... -
Connection between degree of confident behaviour and social motivation in domestick mink
(Master thesis, 2019)Dyrevelferdsmessige utfordringer knyttet til gruppehold av husdyr er et viktig tema i den offentlige debatten, særlig av arter som i naturen lever som solitære rovdyr og med svært territoriale instinkter. Oppdrettsmink er ... -
Creating a typology of U.S. organic grain farmers using reduced tillage
(Master thesis, 2020)Despite an increasing number of studies demonstrating the feasibility and value of integrating reduced tillage practices into organic cropping systems, adoption of these practices has been slow, with tillage and cultivation ... -
CRISPR based functional characterization of the abcg2b gene contribution to muscle pigmentation in Atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2020)Red flesh coloration is an important trademark of salmon meat and commonly associated with its quality. The colour intensity is largely controlled by diet composition and mainly caused by the red pigment astaxanthin, which ... -
Cultivating human beings : natural farming in South Korea
(Master thesis, 2019)Although having achieved an unprecedented rise in food production, the ecological, social and health impacts of industrial agriculture have led numerous scholars and activists to question its desirability. Regarded as a ... -
Cultivating sustainable cannabis in the Danish Medicinal Cannabis Pilot Programme : a case study at OC CARE ApS
(Master thesis, 2021)In my research I explore the Danish Medicinal Cannabis Pilot Programme (Pilot Programme). The study was done with the case of OC Care ApS’ (OC Care) Envision Concept, a legislation-compliant growth facility with a controlled ... -
Degradation and digestion of wheat and legume starch in broiler chickens as affected by pelleting and extrusion
(Master thesis, 2019)Starch is a quantitatively most important source of energy in broiler chicken diets. Diets may contain up to 50% starch on a dry matter basis. Despite high starch contents in the diet, broiler chickens can utilize a variety ... -
Derivation of economic values for important production traits in Atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2020)Atlantic salmon breeding programs selected several traits simultaneously. Lack of economic values may lead to inappropriate relative weighting of the traits selected for and with a suboptimal long-term genetic gain of the ... -
A descriptive study of the physical quality of commercial broiler pellets across the world
(Master thesis, 2021)This thesis work intends to give a general insight into commercial broiler pellets' physical quality and discuss the differences from a scientific point of view. The samples were delivered to the Norwegian University of ... -
Determination of organochlorine pesticides in the fish from freshwater lakes of Pakistan
(Master thesis, 2021)This study is a quantitative analysis of selected organochlorine pesticides in the muscle tissues of fish and water samples from Tarbela (34° N, 72° E) and Sukkur (27°N, 68°E); two major lakes with water from the river ... -
Developing a soft systems methodology for comparing the sustainability performances of ecologically active concrete to those of the traditionally used stone as scour protection material
(Master thesis, 2020)Sustainability is one of the ‘hottest’ topics of our times: governments, scientists and public opinion have all been actively involved in the conversation for decades now, and, as a consequence, also companies are experiencing ... -
Development of a method to compare sgRNA expression driven by heterologous and endogenous U6 promoters in an Atlantic salmon head kidney cell line
(Master thesis, 2021)Infectious diseases have negative impacts on fish welfare and sustainable aquaculture. Knowledge on host pathogen relationship and genes responsible for disease resistance could lead to development of vaccines and therapeutics ... -
Development of alternative baits based on rest raw materials, low-valued and surplus fish for baited gear fishing of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)
(Master thesis, 2018)The experiment was conducted to develop the alternative baits from low-valued and surplus fish for pot and longline fishing of Atlantic cod. Minced herring and capelin were used to produce baits for pots with increasing ... -
Development of winter wheat and weeds in organic reduced tillage
No-tillage and reduced tillage are soil conservation techniques directed to reduce soil erosion and to enhance soil fertility. These techniques are adopted into conventional agriculture where weeds are controlled with ... -
Dietary effect on skeletal development of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Master thesis, 2019)The main aim of this thesis was to study the effect of dietary treatments on the skeleton of Atlantic salmon. This experiment was conducted prior to moving the fish to the seawater phase. The starting weight of the salmon ...
