Cardiometabolic associations between physical activity, adiposity, and lipoprotein subclasses in prepubertal norwegian children
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Lipoprotein subclasses possess crucial cardiometabolic information. Due to strong multicollinearity among variables, little is known about the strength of influence of physical activity (PA) and adiposity upon this ... -
Carotenoid content in algal epiphytes: A qualitative and quantitative DAD-HPLC analytical study
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)A qualitative and quantitative study were performed on carotenoid content in algal epiphytes growing on the surface of Laminaria hyperborea. A stability study was also conducted to look at carotenoid degradation under ... -
Catalytic oxidation and reduction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) present as mixtures in hydrothermal media
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)The reactivity of fluorene, anthracene and fluoranthene under oxidation and reduction conditions has been investigated in this study. This project looks at catalytic and green approaches of converting PAH to less toxic ... -
Cellulose‑g‑tetraethylenepentamine dual‑function imprinted polymers selectively and efectively adsorb and remove 4‑nitrophenol and Cr(VI)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)A cellulosic material has been synthesized that could efficiently and selectively adsorb organic and inorganic contaminants from aqueous solutions without interference from competing adsorption sites. Cellulose-graft-tet ... -
Challenging Metathesis Catalysts with Nucleophiles and Brønsted Base: Examining the Stability of State-of-the-Art Ruthenium Carbene Catalysts to Attack by Amines
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Critical to advancing the uptake of olefin metathesis in leadingcontexts, including pharmaceutical manufacturing, is identification of highlyactive catalysts that resist decomposition. Amines constitute an aggressivechallenge ... -
Changes in serum fatty acid and lipoprotein subclass concentrations from prepuberty to adulthood and during aging
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-03)Concentrations in serum were determined for 18 fatty acids (FAs) and 21 lipoprotein main and subclasses by chromatographic analyses and the average size was calculated for very low density (VLDL), low density (LDL) and ... -
Changes in Serum Fatty Acid Levels During the First Year After Bariatric Surgery
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-08)Background: We have assessed the effects of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and biliopancratic diversion with a duodenal switch (BPDDS) on fatty acid (FA) levels in serum. In particular, we examine the impact of ... -
Changes in the composition of aromatherapeutic citrus oils during evaporation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)The composition of some commercial Citrus oils, lemon, sweet orange, and tangerine, designated for aromatherapy, was examined before and after partial evaporation in a stream of nitrogen. The intact oils contained the ... -
Characterization and optimization study of Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (P(NIPAM)) and β-cyclodextrin (βCD) system for Controlled Release Drug Delivery Systems with NMR and MRI techniques
