Friday seminar by Bruce R. Levin from Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Note the time!

Welcome to GeoHyd Lunch Seminar Friday December 6.

Siv.Ing. Ove Alexander Høgmoen Åstrand ved Farmasøytisk institutt vil forsvare sin avhandling for graden ph.d: Drug discovery and design: Lead identification and discoveries made with zinc chelators, Liver X Receptor modulators and prodrug strategies.

In the Macroevolution and Red Queen Journal Club on Friday we will read Lindsey et al, "Evolutionary rescue from extinction is contingent on a lower rate of environmental change"

Seminar by Professor Dr. Claus Jacob, Head of Bioorganic Chemistry, School of Pharmacy, Universität des Saarlandes, Saarbrücken, Germany

This week we will discuss a paper on the mixed ancestry of the First Americans, published recently in Nature. The western Eurasian genetic signatures in modern-day Native Americans seem to derive not only from post-Columbian admixture, as commonly thought, but also from a mixed ancestry of the First Americans.

Dr. Benjamin Holcblat (BI Norwegian Business School) holder et seminar med tittelen: A Classical Moment-Based Approach with Bayesian Properties: Econometric Theory and Empirical Evidence from Asset Pricing

We will discuss Fang et al. 2013 Genome-wide mapping of methylated adenine residues in pathogenic Escherichia coli using single-molecule real-time sequencing (Nature Biotechnology 30: 1232-1239).

Friday seminar by Anita Kozyrskyj from University of Alberta

Welcome to GeoHyd Lunch Seminar Friday November 29.

Mark Dijkstra, Associate Professor, ITA

In the Macroevolution and Red Queen Journal Club on Friday we will read a recent 2013 paper from Overballe-Petersen et al on the uptake of damaged, fragmented or ancient DNA by naturally competent bacteria and the potential of "anachronistic evolution". Bacterial natural transformation by highly fragmented and damaged DNA.

Cand.pharm. Nataša Nikolić ved Farmasøytisk institutt vil forsvare sin avhandling for graden ph.d: Regulation of energy metabolism in cultured human skeletal muscle cells. Effects of in vitro manipulations and donor differences.

Jukka Lempa (Oslo and Akershus University college of applied sciences) holder et seminar med tittelen: Resolvent-techniques for multiple exercise problems

CEES Extra seminar by Jonas Korlach, Chief Scientic Officer, Pacific Biosciences

Kari Alterskjær at the Department of Geosciences will be defending her dissertation: On the Susceptibility of Low Marine Clouds to Inadvertent or Deliberate CCN Injections

Cand.pharm Rune Amundsen ved Farmasøytisk institutt vil forsvare sin avhandling for graden ph.d: Pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions involving calcineurin inhibitors - A comparison of cyclosporine A and tacrolimus as perpetrators and victims in drug-drug interactions.

Professor Jørgen Christensen-Dalsgaard, Stellar Astrophysics Centre, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Aarhus University

Judith Packer, University of Colorado (Boulder), will give a talk with title "Noncommutative solenoids and their projective modules"

Abstract: ``Noncommutative solenoids" are certain twisted group $C^*$-algebras, where the groups in question are countably infinitely generated; these algebras can also be generated as direct limits of rotation algebras.  From examining the range of the trace of the $K_0$-groups of the noncommutative solenoids, their finitely generated projective modules can be constructed. We also discuss a way to construct Morita equivalence bimodules between noncommutative solenoids that goes back to work of M. Rieffel, with the new wrinkle of $p$-adic analysis appearing. This work is joint with F. Latr\'emoli\'ere.

This Friday we will discuss a recent paper on human evolution by Helen Kurki: 'Bony Pelvic Canal Size and Shape in Relation to Body Proportionality in Humans'. 

Doctoral candidate Kari Alterskjær at the Department of Geosciences will give a trial lecture on the given topic: Cloud feedback and global warming

CEES Extra seminar by Juan Antonio Bonachela Fajardo from Princeton University.

This week we will read a paper entitled "Genetic incompatibilities are widespread within species" by Corbet-Detig et al. (Nature 2013). The authors have used Drosophila melanogaster lines to detect the genomic footprints of epistasis.
