Characterization of Silicon Photomultiplier and Design of Front-End Electronics for ALOFT
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)ALOFT is an aircraft campaign led by Birkeland Centre for Space Science at University of Bergen. The primary goal of the campaign is to look for Terrestrial Gamma Ray Flashes and gamma-ray glows, both high-energetic phenomena ... -
Characterization of Small, Mononuclear Blood Cells from Salmon Having High Phagocytic Capacity and Ability to Differentiate into Dendritic like Cells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-11-14)Phagocytes are the principal component of the innate immune system, playing a key role in the clearance of foreign particles that include potential pathogens. In vertebrates, both neutrophils and mononuclear cells like ... -
Characterization of some Kunitz domain containing genes - possible link to Salivary gland
(Master thesis, 2015-10-15)As a hematophagous parasite, anticoagulants are crucial for L. salmonis. In hematophagous animals specific anticoagulants are produced by salivary gland in order to keep the blood liquid and to allow the parasite to process ... -
Characterization of Terrain-Induced Turbulence by Large-Eddy Simulation for Air Safety Considerations in Airport Siting
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Topography-induced turbulence poses a potential hazard for aviation safety, in particular during the final approach and landing. In this context, it is essential to assure that the impact of topography-induced turbulence ... -
Characterization of the 18s rRNA gene for designing universal eukaryote specific primers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-02-07)High throughput sequencing technology has great promise for biodiversity studies. However, an underlying assumption is that the primers used in these studies are universal for the prokaryotic or eukaryotic groups of interest. ... -
Characterization of the ALPIDE chip with Helium-4 ions for Proton Computed Tomography
(Master thesis, 2018-12-06)Particle therapy has become an appealing therapeutic option for patients with various tumor types. The physical properties of charged particles allow for an improved dose distribution conformality compared to conventional ... -
Characterization of the ALPIDE Detector with Proton Beams for the Development of a Prototype Computed Tomography Machine at the University of Bergen
(Master thesis, 2018-07-04)In conventional radio therapy, photons is used in the treatment. Treatment with protons, however, greatly reduce the energy which is deposited in healthy tissue surrounding the tumor. The aim for the pCT group at the ... -
Characterization of the Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L) eggs for estimation of spawning time and proportion of spawning females
(Master thesis, 2011-05-29)A set of eggs from first time spawning Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L) was investigated for the understanding of variations in egg sizes, e.g. with time in the spawning season, daily inter and intra variations, daily ... -
Characterization of the atmospheric environment during extreme precipitation events associated with atmospheric rivers in Norway - Seasonal and regional aspects
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Extreme precipitation events in Norway in all seasons are often linked to atmospheric rivers (AR). We show that during the period 1979–2018 78.5% of the daily extreme precipitation events in Southwestern Norway are linked ... -
Characterization of the CEL-MODY mouse – A new disease model for chronic pancreatitis
(Master thesis, 2020-06-19) -
Characterization of the coastal marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) for wind energy applications
(Master thesis, 2013-06-03)The main problem for the characterization of marine atmospheric boundary layer is the lack of available offshore measurements in relevant altitude range up to 200 m. Remote sensing meteorological instruments such as LIDARs ... -
Characterization of the dopamine receptor genes in salmon louse, Lepeophtheirus Salmonis
(Master thesis, 2016-06-01) -
Characterization of the genetic architecture of infant and early childhood body mass index
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Early childhood obesity is a growing global concern; however, the role of common genetic variation on infant and child weight development is unclear. Here, we identify 46 loci associated with early childhood body mass index ... -
Characterization of the interaction of the antifungal and cytotoxic cyclic glycolipopeptide hassallidin with sterol-containing lipid membranes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-01)Hassallidins are cyclic glycolipopeptides produced by cyanobacteria and other prokaryotes. The hassallidin structure consists of a peptide ring of eight amino acids where a fatty acid chain, additional amino acids, and ... -
Characterization of the PLP-dependent decarboxylases GADL1 and CSAD
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-03-31)Pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP) -dependent enzymes constitute an essential superfamily of enzymes for all living organisms. Due to the chemistry of their cofactor, PLP, these enzymes catalyze a wide variety of reactions. ... -
Characterization of the pregnane X receptor (PXR) from European hake (Merluccius merluccius): cloning, ligand activation, and bioinformatical analyses
(Master thesis, 2022-09-08)As a response to adverse environmental conditions, organisms have throughout evolution generated a collection of gene families and pathways providing protection and repair of damage caused by physical, chemical, and ... -
