Low Salinity Surfactant Flooding in Sandstone Cores
(Doctoral thesis, 2018-01-26)A new generation enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods comes from combining techniques to make the overall process more efficient than either of the processes alone. These combined methods are often called hybrid EOR methods, ... -
LTX-315: a first-in-class oncolytic peptide that reprograms the tumor microenvironment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)The oncolytic peptide LTX-315, which has been de novo designed based on structure–activity relationship studies of host defense peptides, has the ability to kill human cancer cells and induce specific anticancer immune ... -
Machine Learning in Automated Segmentation of Small Lesions in Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Multiple Sclerosis
(Master thesis, 2023-06-02) -
Mass cytometry analysis of the tumour-immune landscape: The role of Axl receptor kinase
(Master thesis, 2018-12-08)Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in Norway (2016) and worldwide. Despite the advent of new immunotherapies, malignant cancer demonstrates an intrinsic plasticity and is able to evade, adapt and suppress the ... -
Maximizing yields of furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in side streams from steam explosion of lignocellulosic residues
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2025)The demand for renewable energy and chemicals from biomass resources has led to the development of methods for biorefining lignocellulosic materials into pellets and value-added chemicals. This has, in turn, driven a search ... -
Mechanistic Insight for Improved Catalytic Conversion of Fatty Acids to Linear α-Olefins : A Density Functional Theory Study
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-02-14)One of the greatest challenges in our time is the replacement of fossil fuels with more sustainable alternatives for energy and chemical production. Arguably one of the most important classes of petrochemical intermediates ... -
Mechanistic Insights and Theory-Assisted Catalyst Development toward Kinetically E-Selective Olefin Metathesis
(Doctoral thesis, 2024-05-24)Olefinmetatese, en omordning av C=C-bindinger, har blitt en allsidig metodologi for å konstruere molekylære karbonrammer de siste 30 årene De fleste katalysatorene fokuserer på å konvertere lett tilgjengelige 1-alkener til ... -
Mechanistic Modelling of Radial Polymer Flow in Porous Media
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-09-29)Polymer flooding is one of the most successful chemically enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods, and has primarily been implemented to accelerate oil production by sweep improvement. However, research from the last couple ... -
Membrane models for molecular simulations of peripheral membrane proteins
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Peripheral membrane proteins (PMPs) bind temporarily to the surface of biological membranes. They also exist in a soluble form and their tertiary structure is often known. Yet, their membrane-bound form and their ... -
Membrane specificity of the human cholesterol transfer protein STARD4
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)STARD4 regulates cholesterol homeostasis by transferring cholesterol between the plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum. The STARD4 structure features a helix-grip fold surrounding a large hydrophobic cavity holding the ... -
A Membrane-Assisted Mechanism for the Release of Ceramide from the CERT START Domain
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Ceramide transfer protein CERT is the mediator of nonvesicular transfer of ceramide from the ER to Golgi. In CERT, START is the domain responsible for the binding and transport of ceramide. A wealth of structural data has ... -
Mesomeric Acceleration Counters Slow Initiation of Ruthenium-CAAC Catalysts for Olefin Metathesis (CAAC = Cyclic (Alkyl)(Amino) Carbene)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Ruthenium catalysts bearing cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene (CAAC) ligands can attain very high productivities in olefin metathesis, owing to their resistance to unimolecular decomposition. Because the propagating methylidene ... -
Metal-Organic Frameworks with Open Metal Sites for Carbon Dioxide Conversion and Argon Adsorption

A method for automated de novo design of functional transition-metal compounds
(Doctoral thesis, 2015-10-05)Systematic application of automated design methods in transition metal and organometallic chemistry is hampered by the limitations of computational tools traditionally developed according to organic chemistry formalisms. ... -
Methyl 5-iodo-2-methoxybenzoate
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-04)In the title compound, C9H9IO3, the molecules are close to planar [maximum deviation from benzene ring plane = 0.229 (5) Å for the methyl carboxylate C atom] with the methyl groups oriented away from each other. In the ... -
Microplastics could be marginally more hazardous than natural suspended solids - A meta-analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Microplastics (MP) are perceived as a threat to aquatic ecosystems but bear many similarities to suspended sediments which are often considered less harmful. It is, therefore pertinent to determine if and to what extent ... -
