This week we discuss a paper on genomics of rapid parallel adaptation in the marine snail Littorina saxatilis.

Title: Historical total ozone radiative forcing derived from CMIP6 simulations

Speaker: Ragnhild B. Skeie, CICERO

Doctoral candidate Nicholas McKitterick at the Department of Pharmacy, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is  defending the thesis "Molecularly Imprinted Polymers for the Analysis of Small Cell Lung Cancer Biomarkers by Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry" for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.

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

C*-algebra seminar talk by Karen Strung (Prague)

The seminar will be in Norwegian: "Vi presenterer en modell for kompetanseheving i realfaglig programmering for lærere. Modellen tar for seg opplæring i programmering på fagenes premisser, og vi ser på hvordan en slik modell kan brukes for lærere i høyere utdanning."

Doctoral candidate Thomas Birchall at the Department of Geosciences, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis Pore Pressure Regimes of the Northern Barents Shelf - Implications for Fluid Flow for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.

The Information System Seminar Series features Andrew Burton-Jones,  Professor of Business Information Systems at the UQ Business School, University of Queensland, Australia, and the Editor-in-Chief of MIS Quarterly

There will be organised two workshops for potential applicants to new convergence environments. The first one was 18 February. Participation in one of the workshops is mandatory for submitting an application.

Most of you have now spent the last three semesters working on one of the biggest projects of your life so far: your master thesis project. In collaboration with KURT, we want to give you the chance to join a workshop that will give you a space to learn how to create your master thesis.

Åke Fagereng (Cardiff University): Effects of heterogeneity on fault slip behaviour

Hylleraas seminar, hosted in Tromsø

Abstract: If a droplet smaller than the capillary length is placed on a substrate with a conical shape, it spreads by itself in the direction of growing fibre radius. We describe this capillary spreading dynamics by developing a lubrication flow approximation on a cone and by using the perturbation method of matched asymptotic expansions. The droplet velocity is found to increase with the cone angle but decrease with the cone radius. We show that a film is formed at the receding part of the droplet, much like the classical Landau–Levich–Derjaguin film. By using the approach of matching asymptotic profiles in the film region and the quasi-static droplet, we obtain the same film thickness as the results from the lubrication approach. Our results show that manipulating the droplet size, the cone angle and the slip length provides different schemes for guiding droplet motion and coating the substrate with a film.​

This talk is part of the Mechanics Lunch Seminar series. That means 20min talks plus discussion in an informal setting.

Organelle DNA is less protected than nuclear DNA and the risk of mutations could be high. How do eukaryotic organelles avoid the gradual buildup of deleterious mutations in the organelle DNA until function is lost?
