Effects of Strain and Kinetics on the H2O2‑Assisted Reconstruction of Ag−Au−Ag Nanorods
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Morphology of Ag nanocrystals (NCs) is essential to the NC application in catalysis, optics, and as antibacterial agents. Therefore, it is important to develop synthetic methods and understand the evaluation of NC morphology ... -
Effekten av ulike ekstraksjonsmetoder for syreforbindelser i råolje med hensyn på syresammensetning og fysikalske egenskaper
(Master thesis, 2008-06-02)Råolje er en kompleks blanding som består av et mangfold av komponenter og forbindelser. Det er vanskelig å identifisere enkeltforbindelser i en råolje, og for å bedre kunne studere de ulike forbindelsestypene blir oljen ... -
The efficiency of maltodextrin and porous silicon nanoparticles for the in vitro and in vivo stabilization of tyrosine hydroxylase
(Master thesis, 2016-06-01)Parkinson's disease is a severe neurodegenerative disease, which causes deterioration of the dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra. Lack of dopamine causes motor function problems and cognitive decline. Due to ... -
Ekstraksjon og LtL-omdanning av gran- og bjørkebark
(Master thesis, 2020-07-07)Bark er et restmateriale det finnes store mengder av i skogsbruksindustrien. Mesteparten av barken blir i dag brukt som biobrensel av denne industrien, men det finnes bedre bruksområder for dette restmaterialet. Bark ... -
Electronic properties of chlorine, methyl, and chloromethyl as substituents to the ethylene group-viewed from the core of carbon
