"Comparative genomics by targeted capture and long read sequencing reveal dynamic evolution of hemoglobin gene clusters in codfishes"

UiO:Life Science will fund several «konvergensmiljø» – research groups with collaboration across conventional disciplinary boundaries. The application process starts with workshops with speed dating September 28 and 29.

Analysis on foreground cleaning methods for the CMB; Locating the residuals by correlation

Dagmar Frisch,   Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research Fellow, University of Birmingham

Minisymposium open for all! Talks by Grace Wyngaard, Kristian Alfsnes, Martin Malmstrøm and William Brynildsen Reinar. Start at 13.00.

We consider extensions of Morel-Voevodsky's motivic homotopy theory to the

settings of derived and spectral algebraic geometry. Part I will be a

review of the language of infinity-categories and the setup of

Morel-Voevodsky homotopy theory in this language. As an example we will

sketch an infinity-categorical proof of the representability of Weibel's

homotopy invariant K-theory in the motivic homotopy category.

The study of ancient DNA sequences from Yersinia pestis has yielded important insights into the ecology and evolution of this important human pathogen. However, the analysis and interpretation of ancient DNA data remains challenging compared with modern data. Here, we will discuss two recent papers with new or improved genomes from First and Second Pandemic victims.

Welcome to the GeoHyd Lunch Seminar on Monday Sept. 26th @ 12:15 in aud. 3 in the ZEB building (CEED-auditorium).

Numerical methods for stochastic conservation laws

Friday seminar by Marcin Piwczyński from Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland

Welcome to a seminar about basic introduction to gender studies with Michael Kimmel, one of the world’s leading experts on men and masculinities. He is Professor of Sociology and Gender Studies at Stony Brook University and Professor 2 at Centre for Gender Research at UiO.

This Friday the journal club will discuss a paper by Pennell et al. (2015): "Model Adequacy and the Macroevolution of Angiosperm Functional Traits" .

Experimental investigation of linear stability mechanisms in stratified gas-liquid pipe flow

The evolution of interfacial waves on a stratified air water pipe flow is investigated experimentally. An oscillating plate introduced controlled perturbations at the inlet of the pipe. High speed cameras captured the evolution of these perturbations along the pipe by means of a phase-locked shadowgraphy technique. Thereby, it was possible to measure the temporal and the spatial evolution of the disturbances introduced in the flow. Particle image velocimetry was performed further downstream in order to evaluate changes in the base flow. 

A relatively large data bank has been gathered with varying air and water flow rates as well as varying amplitudes and frequencies of the inlet perturbations. Some preliminary results contain a qualitative assessment of linear vs. non-linear regimes and momentum transfer into the water layer.

«Planeter fra innerst til ytterst». Det er temaet for CEEDs bod under årets forskningstorg på Universitetsplassen. Det årlige arrangementet som foregår under Forskningsdagene, har blitt en svært populær arena for å kunne presentere seg for allmennheten, og særlig for barn og unge. Dette er en ypperlig mulighet til å ta med barn og familie for å bli nysgjerrige, og lære!

Se mer info om arrangementet på Forskningstorgets egne hjemmesider

"On the characterization of abelian varieties for log pairs in zero and positive characteristic"

Eric Priest, University of St.Andrews

Oleg Lebedev, University of Helsinki

I will discuss a special role of the Higgs boson in probing the hidden sector and its connection to dark matter and inflation.

(The slides will be available here)

Håvard Kvamme (UiO, Dept. of mathematics) will give a seminar in the lunch area, 8th floor Niels Henrik Abels hus at 14:15.

We will discuss the motivic May spectral sequence and demonstrate how to  use it to identify Massey products in the motivic Adams spectral sequence.  We will then investigate what is known about the motivic homotopy groups  of the eta-local sphere over the complex numbers and discuss how these  calculations may work over other base fields.
