The mineralization is spatially associated with metamorphosed mafic rocks of Ordovician age. Both, ore bodies and their ...
    • The origin of quartz-carbonate veins hosted by ductile shear zones of the Astridal Supracrustal Belt, West-Troms Basement Complex. 

      Forslund, Thea Mathilde (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-05-29)
      An approximately 1 meter wide NE-SW-oriented mylonitic shear zone hosts hydrothermally precipitated quartz and carbonate veins. The shear zone mainly consists of a secondary mylonitic fabric enriched in chlorite. A similar mylonitic shear zone striking NE-SW, oriented parallel to the axial plane of a F3-fold, consists of the same secondary mylonitic chloritized fabric and are therefore assumingly ...

    • Should we be recommending altitude training to swimmers? 

      Winther, Andreas Kjæreng (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-05-15)
      Many swimmers continue to use altitude training as part of their preparation despite questions of its efficacy. This belief seems to be strongly tied to the notion that an increase in hemoglobin mass will transfer over to increased sea-level performance. The purpose of the presents study was to examine whether altitude training lead to greater increases in competitive performance compared to sea-level ...
    • Comparison of 3D and 2D rockfall models. Considering terrain model quality effect on respective model performances 

      Hind, Håvard (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-05-15)
      Rockfalls are blocks of rock that bounce and roll down slopes. They are commonly detached from rock-slopes with inclinations over 40-45°. They embody high energy and mobility and are a major cause of landslide related deaths. Rockfalls can be simulated using empirical relationships and modelling, of which 2D and 3D variants exist for the latter. 3D models allow for rock fragment- and surface shape ...

    • Periodontitis Etiology, Diagnosis, Current and Future Therapy. A Literature review 

      Skare, Kariann (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-05-18)
      It is becoming clear that periodontitis is an inflammatory disease initiated by oral microbial biofilm, and likely due to poor oral hygiene and the failure of host immune system. Host response to the bacterial biofilm by the production of cytokines and subsequently inflammation response destroys the periodontium in the pathogenesis of the disease. This could lead to loosening or loss of teeth. In ...
    • The sights and sounds of dental treatment. Negative emotions and pain experience 

      Aarøen, Line; Bredesen, Ida (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-05-16)
      The dental treatment situation is full of sensory impressions for the patient. This can be the sound of drilling or scaling, sights of blood or needles or the sensation of pain. These sensory impressions might induce negative emotions for the patient. In this study we want to investigate the relationship between sensory impressions (sights and sounds), emotions, and pain experience. We also want ...

    • Reconstructing the retreat dynamics of the Bjørnøyrenna Ice Stream based on new 3D seismic data from the central Barents Sea 

      Piasecka, Emilia Daria; Winsborrow, Monica; Andreassen, Karin; Stokes, Chris R. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-11-01)
      The stability of contemporary ice sheets is influenced by the discharge from ice streams - corridors of fast-flowing ice bounded by ice flowing an order of magnitude slower. Reconstructions of palaeo-ice stream dynamics contribute to our understanding of ice stream sensitivity to the ocean-climate system and can aid in the numerical modelling and prediction of future changes in contemporary ice ...
    • Glacial isostatic adjustment associated with the Barents Sea ice sheet: A modelling inter-comparison 

      Auriac, Amandine; Whitehouse, P.L.; Bentley, M.J.; Patton, Henry; Lloyd, J.M.; Hubbard, Alun Lloyd (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-01)
      The 3D geometrical evolution of the Barents Sea Ice Sheet (BSIS), particularly during its late-glacial retreat phase, remains largely ambiguous due to the paucity of direct marine- and terrestrial-based evidence constraining its horizontal and vertical extent and chronology. One way of validating the numerous BSIS reconstructions previously proposed is to collate and apply them under a wide range ...
