  Forensic DNA phenotyping - Towards reliable and accurate DNA tests for prediction of eye colour, hair colour and biogeographical ancestry 

  Salvo, Nina Mjølsnes (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2024-06-27)

  Forensic DNA phenotyping (FDP) can aid police investigations where there is no match between the crime scene DNA and a suspect or a database hit. By using FDP, we can predict appearance and biogeographical ancestry (BGA) of an unknown person. These DNA tests are currently being implemented in forensic casework in many countries. However, prior to implementation, the methods have to be evaluated and ...

  Biogeographical Ancestry Analyses Using the ForenSeq™ DNA Signature Prep Kit and Multiple Prediction Tools 

  Salvo, Nina Mjølsnes; Olsen, Gunn-Hege; Berg, Thomas; Janssen, Kirstin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2024-04-18)

  The inference of biogeographical ancestry (BGA) can assist in police investigations of serious crime cases and help to identify missing people and victims of mass disasters. In this study, we evaluated the typing performance of 56 ancestry-informative SNPs in 177 samples using the ForenSeq™ DNA Signature Prep Kit on the MiSeq FGx system. Furthermore, we compared the prediction accuracy of the tools ...

  Snowdrift Analysis using FlowCapt FC4 and LiDAR Data at Fv. 53 Tyin-Årdal 

  Ovesen, Mikael Jay Strand (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-15)

  The wind is essential in distribution of snow and the degree of avalanche danger. There are a lot of uncertainties regarding quantification of wind-transported snow, which is of importance for local avalanche warning and Remote Avalanche Control Systems (RACS) - which is conducted by Skred AS along Fv. 53 (County Road 53) Tyin-Årdal. A snowdrift sensor, FlowCapt 4 (FC4), is installed along this ...

  Characteristics and failure mechanisms of the Sieidi unstable rock slope 

  Kaltenrieder, Fabrice (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-14)

  Seidi is an unstable rock slope at the western end of the Sørfjord in Tromsø municipality, Troms County, northern Norway. It displays clear signs of rock slope deformation: an offset at the crest, multiple scarps, talus and loose material and a bulging slope. The objective of this work is to interrogate the failure mechanics in order to determine the degree of control lithology and bedrock structure ...

  Improving Blood Glucose Prediction for People with T1DM During Physical Activity Using Machine Learning on Participant Collected Data 

  Oh, Doyoung (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-14)

  For people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM), engaging in physical activities (PA) presents unique challenges. The aim of this thesis was to improve the prediction of blood glucose (BG) levels for individuals with T1DM during and after PA. The study began with a literature review to guide the research direction and understand existing prediction models. Then particular emphasis was placed on ...
