Arkeologisk fredagsseminar med Kathrine Stene, Ingunn R?stad og Vivian Wangen fra Kulturhistorisk museum, som vil snakke om "Hovet p? Hov ¨C kultbygning fra jernalderen med gullgubber". P? dette fredagsseminaret f?r vi h?re litt om utgravningene fra Hov som ble ferdigstilt i 2023. 

Velkommen!

PhD candidate Aleksandr Berezovski at the Department of Biosciences, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis 'Optical effects and coastal darkening caused by terrestrially-derived dissolved organic matter' for the degree of PhD.

Uneven solid surfaces are ubiquitous in Nature and can significantly impact fluid flow over them. In this presentation I will discuss two different configurations were the wall unevenness govern fluid transport.
First, I will consider wet ceilings. When liquid is coated on an upside-down surface, it destabilizes to form pendant drops surrounded by a thin film of liquid. I will show that these pendant drops ¡®feel¡¯ surface defects even though they have no contact line. The defects induce a gravito-capillary pinning-like force that can be harnessed to control the drop motion.
Second, I will consider hairy pipes. Many biological surfaces are covered with long and elastic filaments or ¡®hairs¡¯. I will show that when a fluidic channel is covered with hairs, the hydraulic resistance can become non-linear. This non-linearity is mediated by the hair flexibility and degree of channel obstruction and can be rationalized with a multi-scale model.

Bo Andersen, Guest Researcher at Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics, UiO.

In this lecture, Seth Brodsky (University of Chicago) will discuss what happens when we question standard psychoanalytic accounts of the "silence of the drives" and instead see it as a point of departure for a new theory of music.

Ayla Bayram (Erciyes University, Turkey) will present her ongoing research on female characters in The Lady from the Sea and Hedda Gabler.

Boreal lakes: analogous of the ancient ocean?

In this lecture Dr. Scott Pacey will shine the light on the Taiwanese Buddhist movement Tzu Chi, its rise, activities and presence on the global stage.

Arnt-B?rre Salberg is a Chief Research Scientist at the Norsk Regnesentral, affiliated with the Department of BAMJO (Image Analysis, Machine Learning and Earth Observation).  

His research primarily focuses on the developing deep learning, computer vision, and remote sensing methods to image data. This includes work on forest mapping and monitoring, marine science applications, coastal habitat mapping, foundation models, and analysis of data from various sensors like satellites, seismic, and marine echosounders.

Elisabeth Fosseli Olsen is a PhD candidate at TIK Centre for technology, innovation and culture. This seminar marks her midway evaluation. 

In this lecture, Dr. Chun-yi Lee will discuss the economic relations between mainland China and Taiwan.

Arkeologisk fredagsseminar med Elin Tinuviel Torbergsen, som er doktorgradsstipendiat ved Musum nord og som vil presentere: "N?r kulturminner m?ter teknologi: En Digital Reise p? Lofotr Vikingmuseum".

Velkommen!

It is time for our monthly mingle meeting. Students and employees at the institute will meet up for informal chat.

I will explain how to use the motivic volume formula and toric degenerations to study the rationality problem for complete intersections in Grassmannians, in particular Gr(2,5).

Department seminar. Sebasti¨¢n Otero is an Assistant Professor of Economics at Columbia University, and a Research Fellow at the Institute of Labor Economics (IZA). He will present the paper "Affirmative Action in Centralized College Admissions Systems" (written with Nano Barahona and Cau¨º Dobbin).

In this lecture, Professor Henning Kl?ter will discuss visible language in official and unofficial use in Taiwan. While the former reflects more standard language norms, the latter is more varied and playful. 

H¨¦l¨¨ne Ruffieux is a Senior Research Fellow at the MRC Biostatistics Unit, University of Cambridge. She holds a PhD in Mathematics from EPFL, Switzerland. Her research interests broadly lie in the development of Bayesian methods and their application to open problems in biomedicine, with a focus on scalable hierarchical modelling approaches for variable selection, latent structure discovery and network estimation, in high-dimensional or temporal data settings.

Does gender make a difference in translations of ancient texts by women? The question is raised in the open lecture by Teaching Associate Professor Mette Christiansen, University of Copenhagen. She visits STK 8th of April.

Department seminar. Sophie Cottet is a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Stavanger, a CESifo Affiliate and a research affiliate at the Institut des Politiques Publiques. She will present the paper "Payroll Tax Reductions for Minimum Wage Workers: Relative Labor Cost or Cash Windfall Effects?".

Panelsamtale med dyktige oversettere som formidler slavisk litteratur til et norsk publikum.
