ABSTRACT Three 3D seismic cubes (EL0001, St0309 and ST05M09) from different parts of the SW Barents Sea basin were studied to decipher processes causing depressions in the seabed and subseabed. Since the investigated areas were under the influence of various depositional and erosional conditions during ice ages special attention was given to the potential of ice driven morphologies. Depressions ...

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 ...

During the last decades, the incidence rate of cutaneous malignant melanoma, a type of skin cancer developing from melanocytic skin lesions, has risen to alarmingly high levels. As there is no effective treatment for advanced melanoma, recognizing the lesion at an early stage is crucial for successful treatment. A trained expert dermatologist has an accuracy of around 75 % when diagnosing melanoma, ...

The microprocessor industry has reached limitations of sequential processing power due to power-efficiency and heat problems. With the integrated-circuit technology moving forward, chip-multithreading has become the trend, increasing parallel processing power. The shift of focus has resulted in the vast majority of supercomputers having chip-multiprocessors. While the high performance computing ...

All points on the surface of the Earth are moving. To define the velocity of a given point, we can place a GPS receiver there and measure the coordinates every day. After collecting enough data, we can generate a time series of three coordinates, North, East and Height directions. The most used technique to determine such displacements, is the linear model. The main objective of this thesis ...

There is a continuing desire and need for improving the processes of describing and searching for digital images. While good progress has been made adapting traditional information retrieval techniques to perform these tasks, processing images still presents a number of challenges not encountered when working with just text. This project implements a system allowing for the indexing and searching ...

Information about snow covered area is important for several purposes, and this information can be found by detecting reflection of optical waves using optical sensors or by using active radars such as SAR. This thesis is explaining how information from the measurements are used to make snow maps. Optival sensors cannot detect snow when the area is covered by clouds, and this is a problem in the ...

Analyser av 3D seismiske data fra Ormen Lange området på den midtnorske marginen har resultert i oppdagelsen av amplitudeanomalier som krysser diskordant opp gjennom, de sterkt polygonalt forkastede, biogene silikasedimentene i Bryggeformasjonen av Oligocen alder. Disse amplitudeanomaliene har en slående likhet med lignende amplitudeanomalier som er tolket til å være sandintrusjoner i Nordsjøen. ...

Holmsletfjella is situated on the southern side of St. Jonsfjorden on the archipelago of Svalbard. The drill core herein studied is part of an exploration program by Store Norske. Chemical analysis of the drill cores in combination with the geological history have reviled the Holmsletfjella Formation and the Ultramafic Vestgötabreen Complex to have been altered by fluids migrating through the rocks ...

The domain of sports analysis is a huge field in sports science. Several different computer systems are available for doing analysis, both expensive and less expensive. Some specialize in specific sports such as football or ice hockey, while others are sports agnostic. However, a common property of most of these systems is that they try to give in-depth and detailed analysis of the sport in question. ...
