...the genera Schizochytrium and Aurantiochytrium accumulate oils rich in the essential, marine n3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). DHA production in Aurantiochytrium sp T66 was studied with the aim to provide more knowledge about factors that affect the DHA-productivities and the contributions of the...

...as polyphenols, are important antioxidants and thus considered beneficial to humans. However, many seaweed species can accumulate heavy metals and exhibit potential health risks upon ingestion. We investigated temporal and spatial variations in polyphenol and heavy metal (As, Cd, Hg, Pb) concentrations...

...countries, people with disabilities seem to be particularly vulnerable to HIV infection due to barriers to accessing information and services, frequent exposure to sexual violence and social exclusion. However, they have often been left behind in the HIV response, probably because of the lack of reliable epidemiological...

...has tested and evaluated a hydromorphological (HYMO) classification system for lakes and reservoirs, published in 2018. The results revealed that applying the full set of parameters require extensive resources, and for some parameters data is hardly available. Based on the test results and the following...

...importance in offshore oil and gas installations. The power on offshore installations is generated by gas turbines operating in a simple cycle. There is an obvious possibility for heat recovery for further power generation from the exhaust heat. However, the limited space and weight available makes the...

...study were to (a) assess the effect of perimortem stress on blood drainage, (b) compare the efficiency of gill cutting and direct gutting as bleeding methods, and (c) compare pre- and postrigor filleting strategies for presence of residual blood in Atlantic cod fillets. Anesthetized cod had significantly...

...centrifugal sudden approximation (ACCSA) has been applied to the C + NO and O + CN reactions, along with quasiclassical trajectory simulations. Existing global analytic fits to the potential energy surfaces of the CNO system in the 2A′, 2A″, and 4A″ electronic states have been used. Thermal rate constants for...

Bacillus methanolicus can utilize methanol as its sole carbon and energy source and the scientific interest in this thermotolerant bacterium has largely focused on exploring its potential as a biocatalyst for conversion of methanol into l-lysine and l-glutamate. We here present the genome sequences of the...

Bærekraftig høsting av villfanget fisk er en av de viktigste utfordringene i det globale bildet når det gjelder å skaffe tilstrekkelige mengder fisk. Det ligger et stort potensial i å høste fisk på en bedre måte. Norge er langt fremme både når det gjelder teknologisk utstyrsutvikling og anvendelse...

...turbine, on floating wind turbines. Four types of floating support structures are investigated: spar, TLP and two semi-submersibles. The fatigue damage of mechanical components inside the gearbox and main bearings is compared for different environmental conditions, ranging from cut-in to cut-out wind speeds...

Fresh and frozen‐thawed cod raw materials were subjected to brining, dry salting, and rehydration. The effects of salting and desalting on fillet water‐related properties, salt content, and salt distribution were studied using 23Na MRI, 23Na NMR, and low‐field (LF) 1H NMR. The results were compared with...
