Investigating Wave Energy Potential of a Spherical Object using Numerical and Experimental Methods
(Master thesis, 2023-11-21) -
Investigating Wave Loads and Energy of a Spherical Object Using Numerical and Experimental Methods
(Master thesis, 2023-11-20)The world is undergoing massive changes due to climate change. To combat this, renewable energy sources are required. Whereas solar, wind, and hydropower are viable alternatives, wave power offers more stability and is a ... -
Investigation and optimization of OBC sensor array coupling to the seafloor: Novel approach to systematic testing of receiver coupling
(Doctoral thesis, 2013-10-29)The most important challenge for the oil-industry is to increase the recovery rates for existing oil and gas fields and to map fluid movements with time-lapse 4D seismic, ensure caprock integrity and reduce geo-hazards or ... -
An investigation into the dynamical and statistical properties of dominant ocean surface waves using close-range remote sensing
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-09-16)Denne avhandlingen er basert på forskningsresultat som behandler statistiske og dynamiske egenskaper av dominante vinddrevne overflatebølger i åpent hav. Med uttrykket dominante bølger refererer vi her til de største ... -
Investigation into the impact of solid surfaces in aqueous systems
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-03-03)Global warming is upon us. The scientific community is searching for methods of slowing down, preventing and reversing its effects. Carbon dioxide have been at the center of attention the last few decades, being the main ... -
An Investigation Into the Mediating Role of Inter-organisational Coordination Towards Refugee Protection: A Case Study of Nakivale Refugee Settlement Uganda
(Master thesis, 2016-06-01)This study examines the role of Inter-Organizational Coordination (IOC) towards refugee protection in Nakivale settlement located in Isingiro district in Uganda. Coordination takes place when organizations work together ... -
An investigation into the parasitic barnacle, Anelasma squalicola; prevalence, infection behaviour and effects on its host, Etmopterus spinax, in Lusterfjord, Norway.
(Master thesis, 2016-06-27)Anelasma squalicola is a recently evolved parasite. Very little is known of its biology due to its normally low prevalence in deep sea lantern sharks (family: Etmopteridae), in which it is found embedded in the skin. A ... -
An investigation into the potential of a new quantitative DHI method
(Master thesis, 2018-06-22)The seismic response of a layer boundary is dependent on a variety of geological factors and is likely to vary significantly along a given reflector. An aspect that seems to be underutilised in the current DHI methods is ... -
An investigation into the spectral parameters of ultra-low-frequency (ULF) waves in the polar caps and magnetotail
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The present case study is focused on fluctuations at ∼ 1.5 mHz observed on open field lines in both of the polar caps in ground-based geomagnetic data and in the electron concentration in the Northern Hemisphere ionosphere. ... -

Investigation of changes in Briksdalsbreen, western Norway from 1966 - 2020
(Master thesis, 2023-02-06)Briksdalsbreen in western Norway was studied using remote sensing. Sets of optical aerial photographs captured between 1966 to 2020 were used with LiDAR-based Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) and glacier outlines derived ... -
Investigation of complement component C4 copy number variation in human longevity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-01-22)Genetic factors have been estimated to account for about 25% of the variation in an adult’s life span. The complement component C4 with the isotypes C4A and C4B is an effector protein of the immune system, and differences ... -
Investigation of Cross-Reactivity of Anti-Ephrin-B2 Antibody to Other Ephrin-B Members in an Immunohistochemical Study in a Cohort of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
(Journal article, 2022)Ephrin-B1,-B2 and -B3 proteins share a high degree of sequence similarity. Investigation of these proteins as putative prognostic markers in human cancers including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has been limited by ... -
Investigation of crustaceans from shelf areas in the Gulf of Guinea, with special emphasis on Brachyura
