This week we discuss a paper by Roopnarine et al. 2022, comparing historical and modern community responses to investigate whether sea cow browsing may have enhanced kelp forest resilience

Ivar Thokle Hovden will defend his thesis “Structural and functional tracking in longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging of glioblastoma” for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor at the University of Oslo, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences.

Felleskollokvium by Dr. James Catmore, Dept. of Physics, UiO

Welcome to our dScience lunch seminar in the Science Library! This event is open to everyone.

This is a one-day workshop which addresses writing in the 1st year of the doctorate. We have hired an experienced academic writing trainer, who will advice you on how to get started with your writing.

Welcome to a full day seminar on solar cell materials arranged by the MATS project and the SOLARIS initiative. The seminar will give an insight into what is going on in the field in Europe, also including high throughput exploration of new materials.

Deadline for signing up is Friday, 17 March.

SPARK Norway Educational Forum are monthly open meetings organized by UiO:Life Science and SPARK Norway partners.

João Inácio: 

The field of low-dimensionality magnetism has developed into an active area of solid-state physics, attracting both theoretical and experimental researchers. Due to the vast array of theoretical tools, there is a large effort to develop a full theoretical understanding of one-dimensional (1D) systems. A large part of this interest is due to nonequilibrium dynamics, where steady-state transport is a generic example.

Many physically relevant 1D models are Bethe-ansatz integrable, such as the spin-1/2 XXZ-model and the Fermi-Hubbard model, but computing transport coefficients still poses a great challenge. Moreover, little is currently known about transport properties of non-integrable models, such as the spin-S XXZ-model or ladder spin systems.

During the Tuesday talks, CBA members gather for lunch and a talk. On Mars 28th 2023, the talk will be given by new CBA leader Sebastian Westermann and new centre coordinator Manon Bajard who will introduce themselves.

Doctoral candidate Håkon Strand Bølviken at the Department of Informatics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis Tailoring Deformable Models to Extract Meaningful Metrics and Landmarks from 3D Echocardiograms for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.

Omid Mirmotahari: For feedback processes to be enhanced, students need both appreciation on how feedback can operate effectively and strategies to use feedback within the curriculum. Several studies that examined feedback exchanged during student peer-review process have shown some challenges regarding students’ confidence in their own knowledge to perform assessment.

It has also been found that, due to students’ negative perception of their own level of competence, they have limited confidence in their fellow students assessing their assignment. Lack of clarity about assessment criteria and standards are a source of anxiety for many first-year university students.

Welcome to our GEOHYD Lunch Seminar Friday 24th of March @ 12:15 in Aud. 2, Geology building, or via video link using Zoom. The seminar is held by  Bikas Bhattarai (Met.no).

Constructing fast solution schemes often involves deciding which errors are acceptable and which approximations can be made for the sake of computational efficiency. Herein, we consider a mixed formulation of Darcy flow in porous media and take the perspective that the physical law of mass conservation is significantly more important than the constitutive relationship, i.e. Darcy's law. From this point of view, we propose an inexact solution technique that nevertheless guarantees local mass conservation. The method is based on first solving the mass balance equation and then computing a solenoidal correction using the curl of a potential field. We extend the method to flows in fractured porous media and present numerical experiments that indicate the efficiency of the scheme.
