Gene expression profiles of phosphorus-accumulating ppk1 gene in an EBPR system
(Master thesis, 2024)The effluent from industries and urbanization contains phosphorus, which pollutes water bodies and depletes phosphorus sources. To address this problem, the Hias method is considered an advanced and effective technique for ... -
"Genetic and epigenetic analyses of Scots pine of divergent origin, sowed Swedish seed vs. wind-blown Norwegian seed in two fire-cleared and two logged forests"
(Master thesis, 2024)Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) is the most widely distributed pine species across Eurasia and is a vital genetic resource in Norway with a widespread geographic range. It is one of the most suitable and best pioneer ... -
Levels of BDNF, Pro-BDNF, Leptin and Adiponectin in inpatients with severe mental disorders: A cross-sectional cohort study
(Master thesis, 2024)Nevroner og dens dysregulering er knyttet til mentale lidelser. Hjerne-avledet nevrotrofisk faktor (BDNF) spiller en nøkkelrolle i nevronal utvikling, overlevelse og i å forbedre synaptisk plastisitet, mens forløperen ... -
Optimization of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) on bovine oocytes Subtitle - Evaluating the effect of dithiothreitol and glutathione on decondensation of bovine spermatozoa
(Master thesis, 2024)Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is an important reproductive technology that passes over some crucial steps of the fertilization process like capacitation, acrosomal reaction, and membrane fusion. The inadequacy ... -
Feasibility study and initial business plan to introduce pharmacy vending machines in the Norwegian healthcare system.
(Master thesis, 2024)The introduction of pharmacy vending machines would be an innovative concept within the Norwegian healthcare system. This product concept would operate around the clock for the whole year and offer more convenient means ... -
The influence of cryoprotectants on bovine embryos.
(Master thesis, 2024)Cryoprotective agents (CPAs) are crucial for vitrification of e.g., oocytes and embryos, aiding in assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs). CPAs protect the cell when exposed to freezing temperatures of liquid nitrogen ... -
Exploring the impact of cryoprotective agents on bovine oocytes: A comprehensive investigation into lipid damage and its implications for cryopreservation success
(Master thesis, 2024)Cryopreservation has increased the possibilities in animal genetic breeding and reproduction technologies. In recent years, vitrification has emerged as a promising substitute for conventional cryopreservation techniques, ... -
Assessment of the enzymatic saccharification of poly-saccharides contained in spent mushroom substrate
