Assessment of boar sperm intracellular Ca²⁺ level and motility characters by flow cytometry and CASA. Optimizing the protocol for Fluo-4 assessment of sperm intracellular Ca²⁺level by flow cytometry and investigation of relationships between storage time, intracellular Ca²⁺ and sperm motility characters
(Master thesis, 2013)Porcine production industry demand effective artificial insemination for future challenges. Variation in field fertility and litter size not only caused by sows or farm management but also affected by semen and boar ... -
Assessment of the enzymatic saccharification of poly-saccharides contained in spent mushroom substrate
(Master thesis, 2024)Spent mushroom substrate (SMS) is a leftover lignocellulosic biomass from mushroom cultivation that is rich in cellulose, hemicelluloses, lignin, and other biological components, making it a potential renewable resource ... -
Bioethanol from Norwegian domesticated yeast (kveik): Exploring the high-temperature fermentation of cellulosic and hemicellulosic sugars from steam-exploded lignocellulose
(Master thesis, 2024)First-generation bioethanol is primarily produced from sugar-cane and starch feedstock, mainly in Brazil and the USA. However, these feedstocks directly impact the food chain, necessitating alternative sources for bioethanol ... -
Bioethanol Production in Kveik Yeast: Testing Usefulness of Farmhouse Brewing Yeast for Industrial use.
(Master thesis, 2024)Kveik yeast, a strain of S. cerevisiae originating from Norwegian brewing, exhibits thermotolerance, contributing to rapid fermentation within 24-48 hours, and can withstand stressful conditions. This thesis investigated ... -
Bioinformatic analysis and development of a method for whole genome sequencing of low-level tick-borne encephalitis virus in human and tick samples
(Master thesis, 2023)The increase in tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) cases in Norway and Europe has led to a need for more research within the field. Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), a causative agent of TBE, belongs to the flaviviridae ... -
Bioinformatic Analysis of RNA-seq Data from Cultivated Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) and Experimental Validation of New Transcripts Related to Cold Tolerance
(Master thesis, 2018)The cultivated strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) is an important plant consumed around the world for its flavour and nutritional value. The strawberry floral organs are very sensitive to cold stress, which often leads to ... -
