Detection and genotyping of Atlantic salmon structural variants with genome graphs
(Master thesis, 2022)Structural variants (SVs) are defined as genomic rearrangements of 50 base pairs (bp) or larger. Although they are less frequent in the genome, they can account for ten folds more variable base pairs than the widely studied ... -
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 practical tool to assess hunger in Norwegian red calves
(Master thesis, 2023)Restrictive feeding practices are commonly employed for dairy calves, but it is imperative to recognize that hunger adversely affects the health and well-being of these young animals. This research aims to develop a practical ... -
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 ... -
Developing Cas9 expressing MDBK cell lines for GeCKO screening against bovine diseases
(Master thesis, 2022)Cas9 expressing MDBK (Madin-Darby bovine kidney) cell lines were produced for a GeCKO (genome scale CRISPR/Cas9 gene knockout) screening against Bovine diseases. The lines were transduced with lentiviral vectors containing ... -
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 CRISPR screenable phenotypes for PCV2 in pig cells and detection of latent BVDV contamination in commercial FBS
(Master thesis, 2023)Genome-wide CRISPR screening er et kraftig forskningsverktøy som gjør det mulig å undersøke virkningen av spesifikke gener i ulike biologiske prosesser, som for eksempel overlevelsesevne, fenotypeutvikling eller sykdomsprosesser. ... -
Development of lentiviral technology for use in Atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2022)Lentiviral vectors are used to deliver and stably integrate genetic material into the genome of cells. When combined with CRISPR based gene editing technology, targeted editing of one or many host genes in a pooled format ... -
Development of winter wheat and weeds in organic reduced tillage
(Master thesis, 2014)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 ... -
Dietary effects on growth, skin morphology and stress marker genes of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) smolts
(Master thesis, 2021)The transfer of smolts from freshwater to saltwater is a challenging period during the commercial production of Atlantic salmon. The fish undergoes profound behavioural, developmental, and physiological changes. Additionally, ... -
The direct and indirect effects temperature and snow depth have on the germination of the alpine plant Dryas octopetala
(Master thesis, 2022)High-arctic ecosystems are facing rapid changes due to climate change. These regions are predicted to be heavily affect and see changes at a higher rate than any other. Temperature and snow depth are two climatic factors ... -
Dominans av flerårig raigras (lolium perenne L.) i ulike artsblandinger : konsekvenser for avling og fôrkvalitet
(Master thesis, 2018)Flerårig raigras (Lolium perenne L.) er en mye brukt fôrvekst i tempererte områder på grunn av god fôrkvalitet og toleranse for intensiv drift. I Norge har derimot arten ofte ikke blitt inkludert i produksjonen på grunn ... -
Dyrevelferd hos slakteokser i melkekubesetninger på Østlandet
(Master thesis, 2022)Dyrevelferd får et stadig økt fokus fra forbrukere, produsenter og innen forskning. Dyrevelferdsprogrammet (DVP) utviklet av Animalia og vurderingsprotokoll for slakteokser av Welfare Quality (WQ), er to protokoller designet ... -
Dyrking av mat på kompost fra myens avfall - sunt og trygt eller en potensiell helsefare
(Master thesis, 2023)Oppgaven undersøker gjennom en litteraturstudie sirkulære matsystemer i bymiljøet med fokus på helsegevinster og risikoer ved dyrking på kompost av mat- og hageavfall. Den sammenligner lineær matproduksjon med ressurskrevende ... -
Effect of access to dam on play behavior in dairy calves in a cow-calf contact system
(Master thesis, 2022)The common practice of immediate separation of cow and calf in dairy production is being questioned, and there is an increasing interest from the public and from the industry to assess alternative solutions for cow-calf ... -
Effect of afternoon feeding of particulate limestone on layers' performance, egg and bone quality
(Master thesis, 2018)An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of split feeding of calcium on the laying performance of hens in the first production cycle, and to study the egg and bone quality of endof-lay hens. A total of 7700 ... -
Effect of air-classified faba bean protein on feed production, physical pellet quality, performance, and protein digestibility in broiler chickens
(Master thesis, 2019)Faba bean seed is a good source of crude protein (CP) (293.06 g/kg DM), however soybean meal (SBM) is the dominant protein source in broiler chicken diets. With air classification technique, faba bean seeds can separate ... -
