Quality of life, functional status and cost-effectiveness of treatment after femoral shaft fractures in Malawi. A comparison of skeletal traction and intramedullary nailing in a low resource setting.
(Doctoral thesis, 2021-03-26)Introduction: The incidence of femoral shaft fractures in Low- and Middle-Income Countries(LMICs) ranges from 15.7 to 45.5 per 100,000 people per year. A recent study in Malawi, a low-income country (LIC), estimated the ... -
Quality of municipal drinking water and the risk of osteoporotic fractures in Norway
(Doctoral thesis, 2014-06-02)Background: For mainly unknown reasons, the Norwegian population has among the highest incidence rates of osteoporotic fractures in the world. The risk of fracture has been shown to vary within Norway, with higher risks ... -
Quality of primary care from the patient perspective in South West Malawi : Development and application of the Malawian Primary Care Assessment Tool (Pcat-Mw)
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-02-06)Background Primary care is considered as a vehicle for accelerating progress towards universal health coverage and for building efficient, effective, and integrated healthcare systems. Measuring patients’ experience and ... -
Quality of the Analysis Step in EnKF
(Master thesis, 2011-06-15)In many physical applications we want to characterize the parameters of a system based on indirect observations or measurements. In a reservoir simulator setting, the goal is to simulate the production of hydrocarbons from ... -
Quality of warfarin therapy and quality of life are improved by self-management for two years
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Studies from several countries show that self-management of vitamin K antagonist (e.g., warfarin) therapy reduce the risk of complications compared with conventional management. Objectives: The aim of this study ... -
Quantification and Change Assessment Benjamin Aubrey Robson 2016 Dissertation date: 31st October 2016 of Debris-Covered Glaciers using Remote Sensing
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-10-31)This thesis investigates how remote sensing data can be used to assess the changing state of debris-covered ice. The principal study areas are the Manaslu Region in Nepal (papers I and III) and the Hohe Tauern National ... -
Quantification and localization of StAR expression in Atlantic cod ovaries
(Master thesis, 2009-06-02)Steroidogenesis is essential for the production of sex steroids, and therefore also the sexual maturation process. The rate-limiting step in steroidogenesis is the movement of cholesterol from the outer to the inner ... -
Quantification and uncertainty of root growth stimulation by elevated CO2 in a mature temperate deciduous forest
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Increasing CO2 levels are a major global challenge, and the potential mitigation of anthropogenic CO2 emissions by natural carbon sinks remains poorly understood. The uptake of elevated CO2 (eCO2) by the terrestrial ... -
Quantification of aeroacoustic noise sources from wind turbines
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)One of the major environmental concerns regarding wind energy is an increase in noise levels, both in the atmosphere and the ocean. In this study, the generation and propagation of aeroacoustic noise from wind turbines ... -
Quantification of CH4 Hydrate Film Growth Rates in Micromodel Pores
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In this paper, we report the growth pattern and the rate of CH4 hydrate in sandstone pores. A high-pressure, water-wet, transparent micromodel with pores resembling a sandstone rock was used to visualize CH4 hydrate formation ... -
Quantification of Cold-Ion Beams in a Magnetic Reconnection Jet
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Cold (few eV) ions of ionospheric origin are widely observed in the lobe region of Earth’s magnetotail and can enter the ion jet region after magnetic reconnection is triggered in the magnetotail. Here, we investigate a ... -
Quantification of fucoidan isolated from Laminaria hyperborea using two different colorimetric assays and qNMR method
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)In this thesis, a colorimetric heparin assay and quantitative NMR (qNMR) are used for fucoidan quantification and compared against an established colorimetric enzymatic L-fucose assay. -
Quantification of grazing efficacy, growth and health score of different lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus L.) families: possible size and gender effects
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)To investigate the possible family influence on sea lice grazing of lumpfish on Atlantic salmon, ten families of lumpfish (N = 480) with a mean (± SD) weight of 54.8 ± 9.2 g were distributed among ten sea cages (5 × 5 × 5 ... -
Quantification of iron-rich volcanogenic dust emissions and deposition over the ocean from Icelandic dust sources
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-12-02)Iceland has extremely active dust sources that result in large-scale emissions and deposition on land and at sea. The dust has a volcanogenic origin of basaltic composition with about 10% Fe content. We used two independent ... -
Quantification of Polyphenols in Seaweeds: A Case Study of Ulva intestinalis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-12-03)In this case study, we explored quantitative 1H NMR (qNMR), HPLC-DAD, and the Folin-Ciocalteu assay (TPC) as methods of quantifying the total phenolic content of a green macroalga, Ulva intestinalis, after optimized ... -
Quantification of the concentration gradient of biomarkers between ovarian carcinoma interstitial fluid and blood
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-12)Background: Tumor interstitial fluid (TIF) rather than plasma should be used in cancer biomarker discovery because of the anticipated higher concentration of locally produced proteins in the tumor microenvironment. ... -
Quantification: theoretical perspectives
(Chapter, 2021)The study of quantificational expressions is one of the central domains in the field of natural language semantics. Probably every language has means of expressing quantification, but quantifiers in natural languages are ... -
Quantifying auditory impressions in dreams in order to assess the relevance of dreaming as a model for psychosis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)A long noted hypothesis is that mechanisms of dreaming play a role in psychotic hallucinations. One challenge for this hypothesis is that while psychotic hallucinations primarily are auditory, dreaming most characteristically ... -
Quantifying Dynamical Proxy Potential Through Shared Adjustment Physics in the North Atlantic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Oceanic quantities of interest (QoIs), for example, ocean heat content or transports, are often inaccessible to direct observation, due to the high cost of instrument deployment and logistical challenges. Therefore, ... -
