Comparative measurement and quantitative risk assessment of alcohol consumption through wastewater-based epidemiology: An international study in 20 cities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Quantitative measurement of drug consumption biomarkers in wastewater can provide objective information on community drug use patterns and trends. This study presents the measurement of alcohol consumption in 20 cities ... -
A comparative study of macroinvertebrate biodiversity in highway stormwater ponds and natural ponds
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The use of stormwater ponds along the highways is shown to be an effective alternative to conventional systems, which are usually sewers. These ponds have the potential to combine their primary function of pollution and ... -
Comparing DADA2 and OTU clustering approaches in studying the bacterial communities of atopic dermatitis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Introduction. The pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD) is not yet fully understood, but the bacterial composition of AD patients’ skin has been shown to have an increased abundance of Staphylococcus aureus. More recently, ... -
Comparing effects of microplastic exposure, FPOM resource quality, and consumer density on the response of a freshwater particle feeder and associated ecosystem processes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Fine particulate organic matter (FPOM) is an important basal resource in stream ecosystems for deposit- and filter-feeding macroinvertebrates (collectively ‘particle feeders’). Microplastics (MP) share many characteristics ... -
Comparing flow cytometry and microscopy in the quantification of vital aquatic organisms in ballast water
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The ability to quantify vital aquatic organisms in the 2–50 µm size range was compared between five different flow cytometers and several different microscopes. Counts of calibration beads, algal monocultures of different ... -
Comparing flow cytometry and microscopy in the quantification of vital aquatic organisms in ballast water, Journal of Marine Engineering & Technology
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The ability to quantify vital aquatic organisms in the 2–50 µm size range was compared between five different flow cytometers and several different microscopes. Counts of calibration beads, algal monocultures of different ... -
Comparing in situ turbidity sensor measurements as a proxy for suspended sediments in North-Western European streams
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Climate change in combination with land use alterations may lead to significant changes in soil erosion and sediment fluxes in streams. Optical turbidity sensors can monitor with high frequency and can be used as a proxy ... -
Comparing nutrient reference concentrations in Nordic countries with focus on lowland rivers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Reference conditions of water bodies are defined as the natural or minimal anthropogenically disturbed state. We compared the methods for determining total phosphorus and total nitrogen concentrations in rivers in Finland, ... -
Comparing three approaches to estimating optimum white water kayak flows in Western Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background: Modern water management strategies aim to assess the impact of water regulation alternatives on all relevant ecosystem services, including white water (WW) recreation. Therefore it is important to estimate the ... -
Comparing total and accessible concentrations of hydrophobic organic contaminants in sediments and suspended particulate matter in the Danube River
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Contamination of aquatic ecosystems by hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) is often assessed based on their concentrations in riverbed sediment and suspended particulate matter (SPM). However, total HOC concentration ... -
Comparison of caged and native blue mussels (Mytilus edulis spp.) for environmental monitoring of PAH, PCB and trace metals
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Contaminant bioaccumulation was studied in blue mussels (Mytilus edulis spp.) using the harbor waters of Kristiansand (Norway) as a case study. A suite of chemical contaminants (trace metals, PAHs and PCBs) was analyzed ... -
Comparison of pharmaceutical, illicit drug, alcohol, nicotine and caffeine levels in wastewater with sale, seizure and consumption data for 8 European cities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Background: Monitoring the scale of pharmaceuticals, illicit and licit drugs consumption is important to assess the needs of law enforcement and public health, and provides more information about the different trends within ... -
Comparison of phosphodiesterase type V inhibitors use in eight European cities through analysis of urban wastewater
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)In this work a step forward in investigating the use of prescription drugs, namely erectile dysfunction products, at European level was taken by applying the wastewater-based epidemiology approach. 24-h composite samples ... -
Comparison of piecewise structural equation modeling and Bayesian network for de novo construction of a quantitative adverse outcome pathway network
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Quantitative adverse outcome pathway network (qAOPN) is gaining momentum due to the predictive nature, alignment with quantitative risk assessment and great potential as a computational new approach methodology (NAM) to ... -
Competition and cooperation of sulfate reducing bacteria and five other bacteria during oil production
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Effective control of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) will help reduce economic losses and prevent threats to human health during the oil production. In this study, the responses of SRB to environmental variables and some ... -
COMplementary Primer ASymmetric PCR (COMPAS-PCR) Applied to the Identification of Salmo salar, Salmo trutta and Their Hybrids
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Avoiding complementarity between primers when designing a PCR assay constitutes a central rule strongly anchored in the mind of the molecular scientist. 3'-complementarity will extend the primers during PCR elongation using ... -
Compositional breakpoints of freshwater plant communities across continents
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Unravelling patterns and mechanisms of biogeographical transitions is crucial if we are to understand compositional gradients at large spatial extents, but no studies have thus far examined breakpoints in community composition ... -
