Totalkvikksølv og metylkvikksølv i filet og lever av brosme fiska i Boknafjorden, samanlikna med Hardangerfjorden og Lofoten
(Master thesis, 2014-11-20)Det har i lang tid vore kjend at Hardangerfjorden er forureina, spesielt innerst i fjorden. Tidlegare masteroppgåver som er blitt gjort ved NIFES har funne kvikksølvkonsentrasjonar i brosme (Brosme brosme) frå Hardangerfjorden ... -
Toward E-selective Olefin Metathesis: Computational Design and Experimental Realization of Ruthenium Thio-Indolate Catalysts
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The selective transformation of 1-alkenes into E-olefins is a long-standing challenge in olefin metathesis. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations predict high E-selectivity for catalysts incorporating a bidentate, ... -

Towards the Synthesis of β-Hydroxy 1,3-Dithiane Derivatives
(Master thesis, 2019-10-03)The β-hydroxy dithiane, 3-(1,3-dithiane-2-yl)-1,1-diethoxypropan-2-ol, was synthesized from the versatile synthon 3,3,4,4-tetraethoxybut-1-yne (TEB). 1,1-Diethoxy-3-(2-methyl-1,3- dithian-2-yl)propan-2-ol was successfully ... -
Toxicity prediction using target, interactome, and pathway profiles as descriptors
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)In silico methods are essential to the safety evaluation of chemicals. Computational risk assessment offers several approaches, with data science and knowledge-based methods becoming an increasingly important sub-group. ... -
Toxicological evaluation of complex mixtures by pattern recognition: Correlating chemical fingerprints to mutagenicity
(Journal article, 2002-12)We describe the use of pattern recognition and multivariate regression in the assessment of complex mixtures by correlating chemical fingerprints to the mutagenicity of the mixtures. Mixtures were 20 organic extracts of ... -
Trace element composition of Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) in the proximity of fish farms
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)The aquaculture industry in Norway is expected to grow with potential impact on the environment. The common seafood delicacy Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) was studied to see how the vicinity to aquaculture might ... -
Transport of polymer particles in oil–water flow in porous media: Enhancing oil recovery
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)We study a heuristic, core-scale model for the transport of polymer particles in a two-phase (oil and water) porous medium. We are motivated by recent experimental observations which report increased oil recovery when ... -
Ultralydsmålinger under høyt trykk - En undersøkelse av solubilisering av 1-heksanol i natrium dodecylsulfat som funksjon av trykk
(Master thesis, 2005)Ny apparatur for lydhastighetsmålinger under trykk har blitt testet, og tilpasset rubidium-klokke teknikk. Det ble deretter gjort studier på solubiliseringsprosessen som funksjon av trykk, der en variert mengde av 1-heksanol ... -
Undersøkelse av effekten av katalysatorer og støttematerialer på omdanningen av lignin til LtL-biooljer ved forskjellige betingelser
(Master thesis, 2014-12-19)Verdens petroleumsforbruk har skutt i været de siste tiårene, og man inser at ressursene holder på å gå tom. Dette har tvunget oss til å begynne å tenke på alternative måter å produsere energi og drivstoff på. Lignocellulosisk ... -
Undersøkelse og optimalisering av krysskoblingsmetatese ved hjelp av statistisk eksperimentelt design og multivariat regresjon
(Master thesis, 2008-06-03)Kryssmetatese er en metode for syntetisering av høyere olefiner fra enkle terminale alkener. Utviklingen av nye katalysatorer har ført til et utvidet bruksområde for denne metoden. Kryssmetatese kan gi tre par produkter, ... -
Undersøking av katalysatorar ved solvolyse av lignin og analysering av produktet ved GC-MS, IR og NMR
(Master thesis, 2011-09-08)Med tanke på at petroleum er ein avgrensa ressurs og det moderne samfunnet er så avhengig av den, er det viktig å finne alternativ. Det er nødvendig med alternativ både til drivstoff og til kjemikalieproduksjon. Solvolyse ... -
Unequivocal structure confirmation of a breitfussin analog by anisotropic NMR measurements
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Structural features of proton-deficient heteroaromatic natural products, such as the breitfussins, can severely complicate their characterization by NMR spectroscopy. For the breitfussins in particular, the constitution ... -
Unlocking the potential of a lignocellulosic biorefinery : Optimizing yields of value-added furanic compounds in aqueous side streams from steam explosion and pellet production
