Willi Sauerbrei (Institute for Medical Biometry and Statistics, University of Freiburg) will give a seminar in the lunch area, 8th floor Niels Henrik Abels hus at 14:15.

We welcome you to an inspiring afternoon about Epigenetics and Stem Cells.

The Keynote lecture is by Prof. Frank Grosveld, Erasmus University, Rotterdam, Netherland, a leading expert on transcription and chromatin organisation. We have a fantastic programme spanning from transcription and enhancer regulation, nuclear organisation, histone variants, human X-inactivation with focus on stem cells and differentiation.

The symposium will be held 9th of May 2017 at University of Oslo in Helga Engs Hus, Auditorium 1, Blindern, 12.00-18.00 and is free of charge, but registration is mandatory.

This is the first of two lectures by Anders Hansen (Cambridge Univ. and UiO) on Compressed sensing - Structure and Imaging.

It is our pleasure to invite you all to a combined “CEES Beyond 2017” Kick-Off and CEES Spring Party.

Joint work with Bjørn I. Dundas. We prove that algebraic K-theory, topological Hochschild homology and topological cyclic homology satisfy cubical and cosimplicial descent at connective structured ring spectra along 1-connected maps of such ring spectra.

Activity at IFE Wind Energy: numerical modeling of offshore wind turbines

IFE (Institutt for Energiteknikk) is a research center located in Kjeller. The wind group at IFE mainly works with the development and analysis of new cost effective concepts for offshore wind energy, both concerning innovative rotor designs and new concepts for substructures. The group main investigation tool is the in-house software 3DFloat, an aero-elastic code which can simulate the whole wind turbine structure when exposed to the associated environmental loads (wind loads, hydrodynamic loads, soil loads if bottom-fixed).

In the presentation, an insight into the wave kinematics and wave loads modeling tools that are currently included in 3DFloat will be provided.

This Friday, April 28th, we're discussing a recent paper on the newest SSE model by Rabosky & Goldberg (2017): "FiSSE: A simple nonparametric test for the effects of a binary character on lineage diversification rates".

Hope to see you there!

Most demographic population models ignore males, but empirical evidence suggest that they should be included when vital rates are sex-specific. Assumptions about adult sex ratio, social structure, and mating system have been shown to affect estimates of extinction risk and projections of population dynamics. We discuss about when and how to apply two-sex models.

Dr. Robin Andersson, Assistant Professor, University of Copenhagen, Denmark, will present the lecture Characterisation of regulatory activities and active chromatin architectures from transcription initiation events.

Lluís Quer-Sardanyons (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) gives a lecture with the title: The Hyperbolic Anderson Model with rough noise in space

The second Scandinavian Gathering Around Remarkable Discrete Mathematics

 In this talk all spaces and spectra will be localised at 2. Many E-infinity ring spectra turn out to be `finitely generated' in the sense that there is finite CW spectrum and a map from the free E-infinity ring spectrum generated by it inducing an epimorphism in mod 2 homology. This turns out to be an interesting condition and I will discuss some examples such as HZ, kO, kU, tmf and tmf_1(3). One long term goal of this work is to produce `ultra-generalised Brown-Gitler spectra' and I will discuss this idea if there is time.

Jon Magne Leinaas, FI

I will discuss how one-dimensional interacting fermion systems, which in the low energy approximation are described by Luttinger liquid theory, can be reformulated as systems of weakly interacting particles with fractional charge and statistics. The approach is to use Landau's phenomenological approach to Fermi liquid theory, with quasiparticles interpreted as adiabatically dressed fermions. In an earlier publication the local charge carried by these excitations has been shown to be a fraction of the fermion charge. I will here focus on the statistics of the quasiparticles and show that by a change of momentum variables the Landau parameters of the generalized Fermi fluid can be transformed to zero. This change in interaction is compensated by a change of the Pauli exclusion, which is consistent with the interpretation of the quasiparticles as satisfying generalized exclusion statistics.
