A computational model for gonadotropin releasing cells in the teleost fish medaka
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Pituitary endocrine cells fire action potentials (APs) to regulate their cytosolic Ca2+ concentration and hormone secretion rate. Depending on animal species, cell type, and biological conditions, pituitary APs are generated ... -
Heritability of head size in a hunted large carnivore, the brown bear (Ursus arctos)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Wild animal populations experience selection pressures from both natural and anthropogenic sources. The availability of extensive pedigrees is increasing along with our ability to quantify the heritability and evolvability ... -
Erythroid Progenitor Cells in Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) May Be Persistently and Productively Infected with Piscine Orthoreovirus (PRV)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV-1) can cause heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI) in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). The virus targets erythrocytes in the acute peak phase, followed by cardiomyocytes, before the ... -
Controlled infrared heating of an artic meadow: challenge in the vegetation establishment stage
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background: Global warming is going to affect both agricultural production and carbon storage in soil worldwide. Given the complexity of the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum, in situ experiments of climate warming are ... -
Selection for feed efficiency in Atlantic salmon using individual indicator traits based on stable isotope profiling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019) -
Nutrient effect of various composting methods with and without biochar on soil fertility and maize growth
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This work showed for the first time that organic nutrient transformation techniques based on locally available materials (manure, green waste and advanced biochar) can increase fertilizing efficiency of the resulting ... -
CNash - A novel parameter predicting cake solids of dewatered digestates
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Efficient digestate dewatering is crucial to reduce the volume and transportation cost of solid residues from anaerobic digestion (AD) plants. Large variations in dewatered cake solids have been reported and predictive ... -
Effects of limited volatiles release by plants in tritrophic interactions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)We introduce a mathematical model to describe the tritrophic interaction between crop, pest and the pest natural enemy where the release of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) by crop is taken into account. The VOCs may be ... -
Protein fractionation by microfiltration in high-protein yogurt processing
(PhD Thesis;2017:58, Doctoral thesis, 2017)The main objective of the work presented in this thesis was to investigate the optimization of the microfiltration (MF) process in the production of high-protein yogurts (≥ 5.6% protein). High-protein yogurts have gained ... -
An experimental study on rotor-wake interactions of wind turbines
(PhD Thesis;2018:55, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Interactions of wind turbine wakes with downstream turbines can reduce a wind farm’s power production and increase loads on the individual turbines. For the purpose of wind farm optimization, different aerodynamic ... -
Performance degradation studies on field-aged solar photovoltaic modules
(PhD Thesis;2018:84, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology, in its variant forms, has evolved over the last four decades to become a mainstream energy technology for terrestrial applications, and is already playing an important role in national ... -
Hyperspectral photoluminescence imaging of silicon wafers and solar cells
(PhD Thesis;2018:59, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Hyperspectral photoluminescence imaging is a non-destructive characterization method used to study radiative defects in crystalline silicon wafers and solar cells. It provides both spatial distribution and spectral response ... -
Kan Lean bidra til forbedringer i byggesaksbehandling?
(Master thesis, 2019)Denne oppgaven har undersøkt om Lean kan bidra til forbedringer i byggesaksbehandling. Siden målet med byggesakssaksbehandling, i henhold til lov, er «å legge til rette for en prosess som er rask og effektiv, samtidig som ... -
Sosial bærekraft i Flåmsdalen : kulturlandskapet som grunnlag for stadutvikling
(Master thesis, 2019)Oppgåva legg seg innafor temaet sosial bærekraft og kulturlandskap i Flåmsdalen. I områder med komplekse forhold mellom reiseliv, lokalsamfunn og landskap, ser vi ofte behov for meir tilrettelegging for å få til eit meir ... -
Forhandlinger ved tomteakkvisisjon i eksisterende boligområder med hensikt å drive tyngre transformasjon
(Master thesis, 2019)Boligpresset i de store og mellomstore norske byene har de siste årene vært økende. Transformasjon av tomter i villaområder er en løsning på å få dekket dette behovet for nye boliger. Denne masteroppgaven undersøker hvilke ... -
