Qualification of New Methods for Measuring In-Situ Rheology of Non-Newtonian Fluids in Porous Media
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Pressure drop (ΔP) versus volumetric injection rate (Q) data from linear core floods have typically been used to measure in situ rheology of non-Newtonian fluids in porous media. However, linear flow is characterized by ... -
Qualitative and quantitative analyses of unbound phenolic compounds from pollen grains of pine (Pinus uncinata)
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)The research in this master project is performed within an interdisciplinary RCN (The Research Council of Norway) research project (QUEST-UV: Quantitative estimates of past UV-B irradiance from fossil pollen) and includes ... -
Quality Assurance of Medical Mass Spectrometry with Artificial Intelligence
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)Medical liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis requires technical quality assessment before results can be reported. Quality requirements involve technical validation of instrument parameters for each ... -
Quantification of fucoidan isolated from Laminaria hyperborea using two different colorimetric assays and qNMR method
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)In this thesis, a colorimetric heparin assay and quantitative NMR (qNMR) are used for fucoidan quantification and compared against an established colorimetric enzymatic L-fucose assay. -
Quantification of Polyphenols in Seaweeds: A Case Study of Ulva intestinalis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-12-03)In this case study, we explored quantitative 1H NMR (qNMR), HPLC-DAD, and the Folin-Ciocalteu assay (TPC) as methods of quantifying the total phenolic content of a green macroalga, Ulva intestinalis, after optimized ... -
Quantitative Comparison against Experiments Reveals Imperfections in Force Fields’ Descriptions of POPC-Cholesterol Interactions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Cholesterol is a central building block in biomembranes, where it induces orientational order, slows diffusion, renders the membrane stiffer, and drives domain formation. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have played a ... -
Quantitative diffusion-weighted J-difference spectroscopy of common brain metabolites
(Master thesis, 2021-12-20) -
Quantitative NMR analysis of the aqueous phase from hydrothermal liquefaction of lignin
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-06)Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of biomass such as lignin could contribute to finding replacements for petroleum, both as a fuel and production of chemicals. The organic phase produced in formic acid assisted HTL of lignin ... -
Quantum Control of Rydberg Atoms
(Master thesis, 2014-06-02)In 2007 the AEGIS experiment was started at CERN with the goal to determine the gravitational acceleration of the antihydrogen atom. This is achieved through accelerating the antihydrogen atoms toward a detector and measure ... -
Question classification taxonomies as guides to formulating questions for use in chemistry classrooms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Teacher questions play an important role in facilitating classroom discourse. Using appropriate question types and proper questioning techniques help to create reflective- active learners. Teacher questions can elicit ... -
Quinolone-DNA interactions. Interactions and association between Ofloxacin and a DNA-oligomer studied by NMR methods
(Master thesis, 2003)The first part of this thesis examines Ofloxacin (Oflo), a second-generation quinolone, by applying 1D 1H NMR. Molecular dynamics, stacking conditions and the self-diffusion constant were investigated. No certain conclusion ... -
Radioactive contamination in sediments near the sunken nuclear submarine Komsomolets, SW of Bear Island in the Norwegian Sea
(Master thesis, 2014-06-02)The Soviet nuclear submarine Komsomolets sank on the 7th of April 1989, 185 km southwest of the Bear Island in the Norwegian Sea to a depth of about 1655 m. The submarine contains one nuclear reactor, containing long-lived ... -
Radiometal Based on Titanium-45 for PET-Imaging

Rapid Landscape Changes in Plastic Bays Along the Norwegian Coastline
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The Norwegian Coastal Current transports natural debris and plastic waste along the Norwegian coastline. Deposition occurs in so-called wreck-bays and includes floating debris, such as seaweed, driftwood and volcanic pumice, ... -
Reaction monitoring using vibrational spectroscopy
(Master thesis, 2012-03-14)Reaction monitoring by vibrational spectroscopy (VS), especially NIR spectroscopy, is being increasingly used during process development. Analysts usually use spectroscopy to qualitatively monitor the progress of reactions. ... -
Reaction monitoring via benchtop nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy: A practical comparison of on-line stopped-flow and continuous-flow sampling methods
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The ability for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to provide quantitative, structurally rich information makes this spectroscopic technique an attractive reaction monitoring tool. The practicality of NMR for ... -
Recovered Energy from Salinity Gradients Utilizing Various Poly(Acrylic Acid)-Based Hydrogels
