Can the use of assistive technology and interactive therapeutic robots in nursing homes contribute to the spread of infectious disease?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background: There is an increasing use of assistive technology and interactive therapeutic robots in nursing homes. However, little is known about the possible risks for transmitting infectious diseases through the use of ... -
Candidatus neoehrlichia mikurensis i Ixodes ricinus i Norge
(Master thesis, 2016-01-18)Mikroorganismer som bakterier og virus kan overføres mellom mennesker og dyr, noen av disse kan være potensielt patogene. Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis er en flåttbåren patogen bakterie som første gang ble karakterisert ... -
Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis in Ixodes trianguliceps. Implications for the infectious cycle
(Master thesis, 2018)Ticks and its pathogen constitute a growing burden for animal and human health in the world. Ticks are blood-feeding parasites, which make them capable of transmitting various pathogens to their hosts that can cause ... -
Cane toads beneath bird rookeries: utilization of a natural disturbance by an invasive species
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Many invasive species exploit anthropogenically disturbed habitats, but most of those taxa evolved long before humans. Presumably, then, an ability to use natural (non-anthropogenic) disturbances pre-adapted invaders to a ... -
Canines as biodetectors for conservational work: can they discriminate Rock ptarmigan from Willow ptarmigan?
(Master thesis, 2018)The main goals for conservation biology is to document the full range of biological diversity and human impact, along with developing plans, approaches and measures to prevent extinction of species. Alpine and arctic bird ... -
Canis lupus familiaris (hund) : oversikt over genetiske studier : genotyping og evaluering i forhold til adferd
(Master thesis, 2009)Denne mastergradsoppgaven tar for seg genetiske studier gjort på hund innen kreft, hjertelidelser og pelsfarge. I tillegg er 139 hunder fra rasene Samojedhund, Leonberger, Rottweiler, Flatcoated Retriever, Welsh Corgi ... -
Caoine Spaces for vocalising grief. The de-ritualisation and re-ritualisation of keening in contemporary Ireland
(Master thesis, 2014)In this master’s thesis I investigate the trajectory over time of the cultural practice of keening (the Irish funeral cry) – an improvised, sung oral poetry combined with choruses of wailing cries, performed at wakes and ... -
Capabilities of anaerobic granular sludge bed process for the treatment of particle-rich substrates
(Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;56, Doctoral thesis, 2020-01-17)High-rate anaerobic reactors have qualities that make them more attractive for anaerobic digestion of organic substrates compared to traditional reactors such as Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR). These qualities ... -
Capacitance variation induced by microfluidic two-phase flow across insulated interdigital electrodes in lab-on-chip devices
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Microfluidic two-phase flow detection has attracted plenty of interest in various areas of biology, medicine and chemistry. This work presents a capacitive sensor using insulated interdigital electrodes (IDEs) to detect ... -
Capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers
(Master thesis, 2007)Ultrasound technology is a powerful tool in medical diagnosis. While piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers are dominant on the marked at present, capacitive transducers cMUT- are being explored as a complementary technology. ... -
Capital and the nexus between the extreme-right and crime
(Master thesis, 2023)En litteraturstudie om de sosiale, kulturelle og økonomiske mekanismene bak koblingen mellom høyreekstremisme og kriminalitet En undersøkelse av potensielle faktorer og subkulturer som potensielt kan bidra til overlap ... -
Capital cost estimation of CO2 capture plant using Enhanced Detailed Factor (EDF) method: Installation factors and plant construction characteristic factors
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Capital cost is frequently estimated for new and retrofit carbon capture plants as new concepts for cost reduction emerge. Capital cost during initial cost estimation of chemical plants strongly depends on the installation ... -
Captive care and welfare considerations for beavers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-03-01)Beavers (Castor spp.) tend not to be a commonly held species and little published material exists relating to their captive care. We review published material and discuss husbandry issues taking into account the requirements ... -
Carbon capture, utilization, and storage activities and sustainability reporting by oil and gas companies
(Master thesis, 2023)The thesis focuses on the oil and gas sector, which significantly contributes to releasing greenhouse gases that threaten the environment and fuel global warming. This research provides a critical overview of global and ... -
Carbon Dioxide Capture by Chemical Absorption: Energy Optimization and Analysis of Dynamic Viscosity of Solvents
(Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;26, Doctoral thesis, 2019-02-11)Global warming resulted from the emissions of greenhouse gases; especially carbon dioxide has received widespread attention. The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere reaches 400 ppmv and that is a considerably high value ... -
Carbon dioxide emission reduction by increased utilization of waste-derived fuels in the cement industry
(Conference report, 2007)Considerable reductions in Norway's emissions of greenhouse gases like CO2 are required to meet the commitments of the Kyoto Protocol. CO2 emissions from cement clinker production originate from decarbonation of limestone ... -
