Welcome to the GeoHyd Lunch Seminar on Friday April 15th @ 12:15 in the old Library in the basement of the Geology building.

Karl Ove Moene, Professor - Centre for the Study of Equality, Social Organization, and Performance

Abstract: In the classification program for C*-algebras some of the usual assumptions put on the algebras are that they are simple or have at most have finitely many ideals. We often also want algebras that have real rank 0. In this talk we will discuss how to classify certain graph algebras with uncountably many ideals and without real rank 0. There will be examples and applications. Joint work with S. Eilers, G. Restorff, and E. Ruiz

The 4th Norwegian Microbiology Meeting (NoMi-16) will be held 13-15. April 2016 at Quality Hotel & Resort in Sarpsborg.

Kristine Beate Walhovd, Professor - Department of Psychology

Jørgen Vold Rennemo (Oxford) gives the Seminar in Algebra and Algebraic Geometry:

K3 surfaces seminar: The moduli spaces of polarized K3 surfaces

Since 2010, Norsonic has in collaboration with Squarehead been selling acoustic camera for the commercial market. But who buys it, what is it used for, and what trends can we see in the future for beamforming systems?

Jørgen Grythe at Norsonic will try to address these points including a presentation of their range of products in beamforming, with a live demonstration of one of their acoustic cameras. Join this presentation to see what the mathematical equations governing array signal processing mean in the physical world, and the chance to get your hands on an acoustic camera to try it yourself.

Abstract: There are many interesting examples of groups acting on trees, arising in various fields (e.g. combinatorial group theory, number theory, geometry). When a group acts on a tree, it necessarily also acts on the boundary of the tree, a (totally disconnected) compact Hausdorff space.  The C*-algebras obtained from the crossed product construction include many fundamental examples.  I will describe methods for analyzing such crossed products, developed in joint work with Nathan Brownlowe, Alex Mundey, David Pask and Anne Thomas.

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

Welcome to the Seminar on Permafrost and Climate at the Section for Geography and Hydrology, Department of Geosciences, UiO.

Kjersti Gisnås at the Department of Geosciences will be defending her dissertation: Permafrost modelling over different scales in arctic and high-mountain environments

Doctoral candidate Kjersti Gisnås at the Department of Geosciences will give a trial lecture on the given topic: The role of permafrost in the Earth's climate system

Aimee A. Norton, Stanford University

Ricardo Gafeira (Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research)

Arvid Siqveland (HBV), gives the Seminar in Algebra and Algebraic Geometry:

K3 surfaces seminar: Endomorphism fields and Mumford–Tate groups II

Upcoming short presentation from MSc/PhD students in meteorology and oceanography:

Speaker: Ada Gjermundsen

Title: On the mean position of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone

Supervisor: Joe Lacasce

Shuo-Wang Qiao, Associate Professor - Department of Immunology

Upcoming short presentation from MSc/PhD students in meteorology and oceanography:

Speaker: Birthe Marie Steensen, (MET Norway)

Title: Volcanic ash and plume modelling

Abstract: In this follow-up talk, I shall outline how the boundary quotient diagram may be useful for K-theoretic considerations. We start with the diagram within the context of integral dynamics, and then speculate about potentially promising directions of generalizations.

MSc. Pharm Marianne Arnemo at School of Pharmacy will be defending the thesis The use of Toll-like receptor ligands as adjuvants in fish vaccines for the degree of Ph.D..

Master i farmasi Marianne Arnemo ved Farmasøytisk institutt vil forsvare sin avhandling for graden ph.d: The use of Toll-like receptor ligands as adjuvants in fish vaccines.

The main attractions of this Mingle meeting will be Luc Rouppe, who will talk about his Toppforsk (and some recent news from the NOT), and Sven Wedemeyer who will talk about ALMA.

Otherwise there will be updates from Kristine and Viggo on the running of the institute. But fear not, there will also be plenty of time for informal chat and eating of cake.

All are welcome to the lobby on the first floor.
