Fubini-Study metrics and Levi-Civita connections on quantum projective spaces
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)We introduce analogues of the Fubini-Study metrics and the corresponding Levi-Civita connections on quantum projective spaces. We define the quantum metrics as two-tensors, symmetric in the appropriate sense, in terms of ... -
Humoral immunity to SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination in multiple sclerosis: The relevance of time since last rituximab infusion and first experience from sporadic revaccinations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Introduction The effect of disease-modifying therapies (DMT) on vaccine responses is largely unknown. Understanding the development of protective immunity is of paramount importance to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. Objective ... -
CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing tools construction
(Bachelor thesis, 2022)Type 1-diabetes is a disease where the body destroys its own insulin-producing, pancreatic beta cells. The pancreatic alpha cells produce the blood sugar-elevating hormone glucagon from the precursor protein proglucagon. Marking ... -
Measurements of physical forces in cancer cells
(Bachelor thesis, 2022)A broader knowledge on how cancer cells behave physically is important for understanding how they spread throughout the body. In order to understand how metastasis of cancer cells really works, it is necessary to know ... -

(Bachelor thesis, 2022)I dette prosjektet ble fire gramnegative bakterier (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, Enterobacter cloacae og Klebsiella pneumoniae), en laboratoriestamme av Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), og to ... -
Eksplosivanalyse av marin biota – metodeutvikling og optimalisering
(Bachelor thesis, 2022)De siste hundre årene ble store mengder ammunisjon dumpet på havbunnen, men vi vet lite om påvirkningen dette har på livet i havet. Analyse av eksplosiver i marin biota kan bidra til økt kunnskap deres påvirkning på ... -
Optimalisering av ekstraksjon og renseprosedyre for miljøprøver til analyse av polysykliske aromatiske hydrokarboner (PAH)
(Bachelor thesis, 2022)Hensikten med denne oppgaven var å optimalisere ekstraksjoner og renseprosedyrer av PAH i mikrosilika og sammenlikne dette med den standard metoden som bruker Soxhlet og PAH-silika. Det brukt 3 forskjellige mikrosilika ... -
Dynamic behavior of composite wind turbine blades with different material combinations: A numerical study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The results of numerical simulation and analysis of the dynamic behavior of the rotor blades of horizontal axis wind turbines are presented. The blades are made of different composite materials with different stacking ... -
Spatio-temporal complexity of power-grid frequency fluctuations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Power-grid systems constitute one of the most complex man-made spatially extended structures. These operate with strict operational bounds to ensure synchrony across the grid. This is particularly relevant for power-grid ... -
Open database analysis of scaling and spatio-temporal properties of power grid frequencies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The electrical energy system has attracted much attention from an increasingly diverse research community. Many theoretical predictions have been made, from scaling laws of fluctuations to propagation velocities of ... -
Mechanical properties of roads unbound treated with synthetic fluid based on isoalkane and tall oil
(Transportation Geotechnics;Volume 32, January 2022, 100701, Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-12-17)The unbound layers are an essential component of both highly trafficked and low-volume roads as their me- chanical properties are of major importance when it comes to ensuring a well-performing pavement. However, as the ... -
A neural network model and framework for an automatic evaluation of image descriptions based on NCAM image accessibility guidelines
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2021)Millions of people who are either blind or visually impaired have difficulty understanding the content in an image. To address the problem textual image descriptions or captions are provided separately or as alternative ... -
