(Master thesis, 2014-08-05)The family of ground beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) is one of the most species-rich coleopteran families. Ground beetles are good indicators of habitat disturbances, and could provide valuable information for sustainable ... -
Effects of antimicrobials on Shiga toxin production in high-virulent Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Purpose: Antimicrobial treatment of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections is controversial because antimicrobials may stimulate Shiga toxin (Stx) production, and thereby increase the risk of developing ... -
Effects of antioxidant-rich foods on altitude-induced oxidative stress and inflammation in elite endurance athletes: A randomized controlled trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background Various altitude training regimes, systematically used to improve oxygen carrying capacity and sports performance, have been associated with increased oxidative stress and inflammation. We investigated whether ... -
Effects of artificial ultraviolet B radiation on the macrophyte Lemna minor: a conceptual study for toxicity pathway characterization
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Macrophytes inhabit waterways around the world and are used in hydroponics or aquaponics for different purposes such as feed and wastewater treatment and are thus exposed to elevated levels of UVB from natural and artificial ... -
Effects of Asparagopsis taxiformis on enteric methane emission, rumen fermentation and lactational performance of (Norwegian Red) dairy cows
(Master thesis, 2022)Ruminants with their rumen microbial fermentation contribute to greenhouse gas emissions when producing enteric methane. Feed supplements able to inhibit the formation of methane and thereby reduce the amount of methane ... -
Effects of biochar and crop rotation with pigeon pea on soil phosphorus availability in Mkushi and Kaom, Zambia
(Master thesis, 2022)Low phosphorus (P) availability in sub-Sahara African agriculture strongly effects yield and food production negatively. As fertilizer prices increases, the need for human interventions to increase soil plant available P ... -
