Climate change has great ecological consequences for animals. Furthermore, these changes can differ among different geographical areas. In birds it has been found that they can cause mismatches with their food supply as they do not respond to climate change at the same pace. By understanding more about …

Teachers and students need good learning environments to perform well. In this study, it is pre-supposed that the spatial properties of classrooms are important facilitators of the educational process. Ideally, school buildings in general and classrooms in particular should influence the educational …

Abstract 1 Scope A major downside of oral immunotherapy (OIT) for food allergy is the risk of severe side effects. Non‐digestible short‐ and long‐chain fructo‐oligosaccharides (scFOS/lcFOS) reduce allergy development in murine models. Therefore, it is hypothesized that scFOS/lcFOS can also support …

The seeding of mussel seeds is an important factor within the mussel culture as losses can be as high as 75% within the first 4 weeks after seeding. Therefore it is important to get more knowledge about the factors that can cause mortality within the first weeks after seeding. With seeding high local …

To increase the yield and quality of aquaculture feed, the effects of N and P concentrations on biomass productivity and cell composition were examined in the marine diatom Skeletonema costatum. Batch-cultured microalgae in Walne’s medium with 3.5 ± 0.5 mmol L-1 N-NO3- and 0.30 ± 0.05 mmol L-1 P-PO43- …

Alzheimer’s disease is the leading cause of dementia affecting over 46 million worldwide, yet contemporary medication is unable to prevent or slow its neurodegeneration. Recently, fucosterol and saringosterol, two phytosterols from brown macroalgae, have emerged as possible mediators of the disease. …

In this study, various extraction methods were compared based on their ability to extract both free amino acids, and free 5’-monophosphate nucleotides from the seaweed Saccharina latissima. Based on the results, extraction at room temperature with Milli-Q over 24 hours was chosen as the method of choice, …

Background While the indoor environmental quality of classrooms is a potential issue because it may affect the wellbeing of school children, the relations are still poorly studied. This study aimed to investigate the relations between classroom characteristics and health and comfort of school children. …

The thermal performance of conventional flat roof systems is in practice normally assessed by the heat transfer caused by conduction. The effects of radiation and convection are in such cases ignored as being insignificant. Holistic flat roof systems are designed to better utilize the impact of radiation …

Daily life is greatly influenced by fossil fuels. New technological inventions and the reduction of the ice coverage due to climate change makes it possible for humans to be present and undertake activities, such as gathering oil in previously inaccessible areas like the North Pole (Sagerup, Nahrgang, …
