• Trapping of Nanoparticles with Optical Waveguides 

      Dullo, Firehun Tsige (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2011-05-18)
      Over the last few years, the notion that links optical trapping with strong intensity of light (high energy photon) not only forced the modification of optical tweezer, but it also open up the door for evanescent wave field trapping. While optical tweezer is merely suitable for trapping micro-sized particles, trapping by evanescent field of a channel waveguide enables both micro and nanosized particles ...
    • Type-I ion outflow from the high latitude ionosphere 

      Argese, Chiara (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2013-11-15)
      The aim of this thesis is to study type-I ion outflows in the high latitude ionosphere. Type-I ion outflows are characterized by strong perpendicular electric fields, enhanced and anisotropic ion temperatures and low electron densities below 300 km, indicating small amounts of hard particle precipitation. We scanned data from the EISCAT Madrigal database over a period of 10 years (January 2000 - ...
    • Uncertainty Modeling and Interpretability in Convolutional Neural Networks for Polyp Segmentation. 

      Wickstrøm, Kristoffer Knutsen (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-05-14)
      Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with prevention commonly done through regular colonoscopy screenings. During a colonoscopy, physicians manually inspect the colon of a patient using a camera in search for polyps, which are known to be possible precursors to colorectal cancer. Seeing that a colonoscopy is a manual procedure, it can be susceptible to ...
    • The volume distribution of artificial aurora induced by HF radio waves in the ionosphere 

      Kvammen, Andreas (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-08-15)
      This thesis presents three-dimensional modelling of artificial aurora in the ionospheric F layer, induced by high frequency (HF) O-mode radio waves from the EISCAT heating facility. Understanding how HF radio waves produces enhanced emission in the ionosphere has been one of the one of the major motivations for conducting heating experiments during the last decades. A key element for understanding ...
