• Large eddy simulation of homogeneous isotropic turbulence 

      Zeigler, Harald Bergersen (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2008-06-02)
      The theme for the master thesis is simulation of homogeneous, isotropic turbulence. I have shown that the energy of the velocity field is decaying in time, but the comparison to the reference solution is however invalid, due to the fact that the reference solution may have scalings that are not obvious to the observer, and that my own simulation results seemed to behave quite strange, with a sudden ...
    • Multi-fractal stochastic modeling of the auroral electrojet index 

      Sund, Martin Jong Yul Shon (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2009-12-15)
      In this thesis we have analyzed the Auroral Electrojet (AE) Index over the years 2000 to 2005, a time series consisting of over 3 000 000 data points. The aim is to describe this data as a multi-fractal stochastic process. We first introduce a class of random multiplicative measures, which provide the multi-fractality in the stochastic processes that will be defined later. We also review the ...
    • Overlevelsesanalyse med tidsavhengige forklaringsvariabler med bruk av Cox proporsjonal hasard regresjonsmodell 

      Nilsen, Irmelin Kristin (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2015-12-15)
      I denne mastergradsoppgaven ble det brukt overlevelsesanalyse med tidsavhengige variabler til å estimere en Cox proporsjonal hasard regresjonsmodell. Variablene stammet fra forskningsprosjektet ''Kvinner og kreft'' (The Norwegian Women and Cancer post genome cohort study - NOWAC) ved universitetet i Tromsø og besto av 57 561 kvinner. Modellen ble brukes til lage en modell av hasard raten til kvinnene ...
    • Two models of population genetics 

      Skancke, Jørgen (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2008-06-02)
      The production of proteins in a cell is a regulated process. This means that the cell will only produce a type of protein when that type is needed. A fundamental step where this regulation occurs is at gene transcription. It is observed that transcription is regulated differently for different genes, and the question is therefore asked: why has evolution come up with different modes of transcriptional ...
