The meaning of the self-determination norm
(Master thesis, 2020)The self-determination is quite confusing norm to comprehend. The confusion around the norm arises because on one hand the norm entails a universe of human rights and values of freedom and equality and on the other, it has ... -
The meaning of ‘revolution’ in development aid : an exploration into the perceptions of unconditional cash transfers within a continuously changing aid industry
(Master thesis, 2022)This thesis looks at the use of unconditional cash transfers (UCTs) in the aid industry as a tool to alleviate poverty. UCTs are built on the idea of just giving money to the poor instead of setting up large-scale ... -
Meanings of mining : a political ecologist' approach on the regulation of artisanal and small-scale gold mining in Southern Ecuador
(Master thesis, 2016-07-27)This thesis is concerned with the regulation of artisanal and small-scale mining in Portovelo- Zaruma (P-Z) in the South-Western corner of Ecuador. With the use of political ecology and an ethnographic approach I argue ... -
MEArec: A fast and customizable testbench simulator for ground-truth extracellular spiking activity

Measurement Error and Farm Size: Do Nationally Representative Surveys Provide Reliable Estimates?
(CLTS Working paper;07/23, Working paper, 2023-12)We assess the reliability of measured farm sizes (ownership holdings) in the Living Standard Measurement Study – Integrated Surveys on Agriculture (LSMS-ISA) in Ethiopia and Malawi based on three survey rounds (2012, 2014, ... -
Measurement of 90Sr in Chernobyl arthropods
(Master thesis, 2021)Following the Chernobyl accident, the areas around the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (ChNPP) were contaminated with many radionuclides, including the fission product 90Sr. Because of its long half-life and chemical similarity ... -
Measurement of radon at NMBU : concentration, seasonal variation and dose estimation
(Master thesis, 2017-05)Radon-222 is radioactive noble gas which is formed by the decay of Radium-226, which is the decay product of the Uranium-238. Radon-222 and its decay products have the negative effect on health, hence it becomes a major ... -
Measurements and analysis of snow load reduction on flat roofs using a photovoltaic system in heating mode
(Master thesis, 2017)Previous studies show that a large portion of the existing building stock in Norway is regarded as under-designed with respect to snow load. Unfortunately, few solutions are available for reducing heavy snow loads occurring ... -
Measurements of the Planck Length from a Ball Clock without Knowledge of Newton’s Gravitational Constant G or the Planck Constant
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)We demonstrate how one can extract the Planck length from a ball with a built-in stopwatch, without knowledge of the Newtonian gravitational constant or the Planck constant. This could be of great importance since, until ... -
Measuring growth of denitrifiers in digestate using gas kinetics
(Master thesis, 2018)Denitrification is a microbial, anaerobic process reducing nitrogen oxyanions to gaseous products in a stepwise reaction that leads to a release of nitrous oxide gas to the atmosphere. Denitrification has four steps; NO3 ... -

Measuring the fat content in intestine of atlantic salmon by using computerized tomography
(Master thesis, 2014-02-19)The aim of our study was to use the CT scanning as a non-destructive method to find out the amount of fat in the Atlantic salmon intestinal area. Farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) was subjected to computerized X-ray ... -
Measuring the Planck Length and the Speed of Gravity with a Newton Cradle and a Photogate
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)We demonstrate how one can remarkably use a simple Newton’s Cradle combined with an accurate photogate (also known as time-gate or speed-gate) to deduce the speed of gravity, as well as the Planck length. We conducted 100 ... -

Mechanical and electrochemical prelithiation of silicon nanoparticles in lithium-ion battery anodes
(Master thesis, 2017)Silicon (Si) is one of the most promising anode materials for the next generation lithium ion batteries, as it can store up to ten times the capacity compared to the conventional graphite anode. However, with its alloying ... -
Mechanical assessment of a steel dissipating system for RC buildings retrofitting with CLT panels
(Master thesis, 2020)Lack of seismic capacity is a common problem for older low-rise, reinforced concrete frame structures. To tackle this problem, a new friction energy dissipating system meant for retrofitting, is proposed. The system consists ... -
Mechanical design of an automated transesophageal echocardiography system
(Master thesis, 2019)Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is used in heart diagnostics and guidance of minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) procedures, such as MitraClip®. It enables high-quality image surveying of the heart by approaching ...
