Optimization, evaluation and application of EEP measurements in the presence of contaminating protons
(Master thesis, 2017)It is well known that energetic particles can penetrate deep into the atmosphere and initiate a chain of chemical reactions, ultimately leading to enhanced production rates of HOx and NOx molecules and the depletion of ... -
Optimized bisubstrate inhibitors for the actin N-terminal acetyltransferase NAA80
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Acetylation of protein N-termini is one of the most common protein modifications in the eukaryotic cell and is catalyzed by the N-terminal acetyltransferase family of enzymes. The N-terminal acetyltransferase NAA80 is ... -
Optimized magnetic resonance spectroscopy of 2-hydroxyglutarate
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)In recent years, non-invasive detection of 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) using 1H − MRS has emerged as a promising method for differentiating IDH mutant and wild-type brain tumors. However, reliable detection and quantification ... -
Optimized mesoscale growth of microalgae: A modelling approach
(Master thesis, 2017-11-20)Photosynthesis is a process that uses water, carbon dioxide and light to create sugar and oxygen. Sugar and oxygen is then used by the cell for maintenance and growth purposes through cellular respiration. We would then ... -
An optimized multiplex flow cytometry protocol for the analysis of intracellular signaling in peripheral blood mononuclear cells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-09)Phosphoflow cytometry is increasingly being used as a tool for the discovery of biomarkers used in the treatment and monitoring of disease and therapy. The ability to measure numerous phospho-protein targets simultaneously ... -
Optimizing alkalinity control in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS): A dynamic modelling approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2025)Maintaining good water quality is essential for successful fish production in land-based recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS). Numerous interdependent factors influence water quality parameters, making it difficult to ... -
Optimizing Approximate Weighted Matching on Nvidia Kepler K40
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2018)Matching is a fundamental graph problem with numerous applications in science and engineering. While algorithms for computing optimal matchings are difficult to parallelize, approximation algorithms on the other hand ... -
Optimizing Consistency and Coverage in Configurational Causal Modeling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Consistency and coverage are two core parameters of model fit used by configurational comparative methods (CCMs) of causal inference. Among causal models that perform equally well in other respects (e.g., robustness or ... -
Optimizing Feeder Network Design with Deep Reinforcement Learning: A Hyperheuristic Approach
(Master thesis, 2023-07-01)BORA : Yes Across the globe, hundreds of shipping networks form an intricate web of trade routes forming the backbone of international commerce. These networks are responsible for an estimated 80 percent of all cargo ... -
Optimizing Formic Acid-Assisted Co-HTL of Digested Sewage Sludge and Lignocellulosic Waste for Enhanced Bio-Crude Yield and Energy Recovery
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)In recent years, hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) has gained attention as a means of enhancing and increasing the production of biofuels from biomass. Co-HTL involves the simultaneous processing of two or more feedstocks, ... -
Optimizing hydroxyl airglow retrievals from long-slit astronomical spectroscopic observations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-08-25)Astronomical spectroscopic observations from ground-based telescopes contain background emission lines from the terrestrial atmosphere's airglow. In the near infrared, this background is composed mainly of emission from ... -
Optimizing maintenance plans of offshore wind farms by calculating the likelihood of future turbine failures
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)Although offshore wind power shows promising energy potentials, high cost of operating and maintaining offshore wind farms concerns investors. Different maintenance strategies are applied by wind farm operators to overcome ... -
Optimizing marine insurance brokerage
(Master thesis, 2019-06-26)Insurance coverages for marine shipping fleets are often created by a broker, who negotiates underwriter insurance offers on behalf of the fleet owner. The broker evaluates different combinations of offers, searching for ... -
Optimizing national border reopening policies in the COVID-19 pandemic: A modeling study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-30)Objective: After emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent restrictions, countries worldwide have sought to reopen as quickly as possible. However, reopening involves the risk of epidemic rebound. In this study, ... -
