HAVBRUKS-Havbruk - en næring i vekst

Environmental control of smolt brain development

High quality salmon smolts are essential for aquaculture, enhancement programmes and wild populations. Intensification of aquaculture smolt production and changes in natural habitats can cause sub-optimal environmental conditins, which may result in poor smolt quality. The salmon brain as the int...

Theoretical investigation on fundamentally/technologically important perovskite-like oxides

First-principles (ab-initio) calculations allow studies of properties of solids on the fundamental level. The electronic structure determines most physical properties of a solid. Such calculations became enormously enhanced by Density Functional Theory (D FT). They involve crystal structure data ...

Manipulation of individual flux quanta in superconductors: an essential step towards "fluxtronics"

By this project we will explore the possibilities to manipulate superconducting vortices - the quantum mechanical entities that carry the magnetic field inside superconductors. In the same way as charge of an electron form the basis of electronics, can on e see that in the future the flux quanta,...

Turnover of immune complexes in liver

An important homeostatic liver function is to remove and degrade foreign molecules and cells from blood. This function is mediated by endocytosis-receptors expressed on parenchymal and nonparenchymal liver cells. Three important groups of such receptors a re Fc<.gamma.>-receptors (Fc<.gamma.>R), ...

Tracing fossil bio-signals in young to ancient ophiolites

The purpose of this project is to trace signals that may indicate former biomediated alteration of originally glassy volcanic rocks (pillow lavas and hyaloclastites) of former oceanic crust, i.e. ophiolites. We intend to utilize bio-signals worked out for in-situ oceanic crust to fossil oceanic ...

Speciation and species recognition in lichens

Lichens result from a mutualistic symbiosis between a fungus and an alga, and as such they provide unique features. Unique to the lichens are asexual reproductive strategies that involve fungus and alga simultaneously, and in numerous cases sexual reprodu ction is rare or absent. Information is s...
