Investigation of gaseous ammonia for NOx control by SCR on an experimental basis
(Master thesis, 2016-08-15)My dissertation argues which of the two reducing agents, urea or pure ammonia, is better suited for reducing NOx emissions in Marine SCR applications. While the question might seem straight forward, there are several upsides ... -
Investigation of gender bias in the mental imagery of faces
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)People tend to think of the prototypical person as a man more than as a woman, but this bias has primarily been observed in language-based tasks. Here, we investigated whether this bias is also present in the mental imagery ... -
Investigation of growth performance of post-smolt Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) in semi closed containment system: A big-scale benchmark study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The Norwegian salmon industry faces challenges related to sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) infestations, escapees, diseases and environmental impact. Semi-closed containment systems (S-CCS) have been proposed to abate ... -
Investigation of immune cells in psoriasis patients treated with infliximab
(Master thesis, 2021-05-20)Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease that manifests in the skin affecting both sexes equally and all ages. In Norway, the prevalence reaches 11.43% in adults. Both genetics and environment factors are important in ... -
Investigation of instability and turbulence effects on gas explosions: experiments and modelling
(Doctoral thesis, 2018-03-09)Safe design of industrial facilities requires models that can predict the consequences of accidental gas explosions in complex geometries with sufficient accuracy. Computa- tional fluid dynamics (CFD) models are widely ... -

Investigation of Low Salinity Polymer and Surfactant Flooding in Carbonate Reservoir at Reservoir Conditions
(Master thesis, 2018-04-20)It is estimated that 40-60% of the world’s total hydrocarbon production is from carbonate rocks [1]. Carbonate rocks contain the world`s largest fields in the Middle East (i.e., Ghawar Field, Saudi Arabia). Waterflooding ... -
Investigation of mechanisms leading to early aseptic loosening of hip prostheses. A retrieval study of 27 failed cases of cemented Spectron EF stem in combination with Reflection acetabular cup
(Master thesis, 2016-05-18)Background: More than 1 million people with arthroplasties undergo total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgery every year worldwide. In Norway more than 10 % of the THA cases needed revision operations due to aseptic loosening. ... -
Investigation of nanofluids in alkaline electrolytes: Stability, electrical properties, and hydrogen production
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Utilizing solar energy efficiently and manufacturing hydrogen economically are the primary goals in the energy industry. In this paper, we present a novel method to solve both issues by exploiting the electrolysis of ... -
