(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2009)
Pockmarks have now been recognised for nearly four decades, and are one of the most obvious and abundant structural features of the seafloor in some areas, yet there is still little knowledge of their influence on fauna ...
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2009)
Left ventricular (LV) volumes and ejection fraction (EF) are important parameters for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning in patients with heart disease. These parameters are commonly measured by manual tracing ...

This thesis is submitted for the Philosophy Doctor degree in Petroleum Geophysics at the Section of Petroleum Geology and Geophysics (PEGG), Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo. This study has been financially ...
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2009)
To concluse, the work presented in this thesis is a contribution to the understanding and testing of DFT functionals (and also other computational methods) for the calculation of second-order magnetic properties. Vibrational ...

This work, we believe, is a significant contribution to the development of molecular methods for the rapid detection of microorganism interacting with humans. Prevention, through the implementation of effective water ...
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2009)
The plant toxin ricin and the bacterial toxin Shiga toxin are not only a threat to human health but may also be used in cancer treatment and to gain new insight into the mechanisms of intracellular transport. Ricin and ...

Despite the large improvements of numerical weather prediction models (NWP) during the last decades, including more advanced data assimilation methods that allow extensive use of satellite data, such models still occasionally ...
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2009)
The present work was set to study materials, and in particular thermoelectric materials based on first-principle calculations. Density functional theory was used to calculate the electronic structure of skutterudites, Zintl ...
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2009)
Lack of specificity of anticancer drug treatments represents a major limitation for cancer cure. Thus, novel strategies are required to increase the selectivity of cancer therapeutics. Adverse effects can be reduced by ...
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2009)
This thesis presents a study of the landsystem of the Svalbard tidewater glacier Paulabreen and its late Holocene surge moraines, focusing on the glaciology and the glacial geology. An active surge of Skobreen/Paulabreen ...
