The rock slope failures at Låvan and Dusnjarga, Northern Norway. A comprehensive Quaternary, morphological and structural analysis
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-15)
Rock avalanches and subsequent displacement waves represented the deadliest natural disaster in Norway in the past century. The two deep-seated and unstable slopes Dusnjarga and Låvan in Troms county (Norway) are clearly defined by morphological deformation features. Due to the steep fjord setting, a potential catastrophic rock avalanche could pose a severe threat to people and infrastructure along ...
MIR-based in-situ measurement of Silicon crystal-melt interface
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-06-29)
The project explores the a proposed MIR-based measurement system for measuring the deflection of the interface between the crystal and melt during production of mono-crystalline Silicon in the Czochralski process. The absorption spectrum is modeled and the specific absorption for a select set of wavelengths is estimated for temperatures approching 1687K. It was estimated that the intrinsic absorption ...
Late Cenozoic development of the mid-Norwegian continental margin – a study of the Naust Formation based on 3D-seismic data
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-06-15)
The late Cenozoic evolution of the outer continental shelf and slope on the northern part of the mid-Norwegian margin is studied using 3D seismic data. The late Cenozoic stratigraphy is subdivided into four main seismic units: unit A (oldest) to D and correlated to the established stratigraphic framework of the Naust Formation, where the oldest unit in this study correlates to the upper part of Naust ...
Connecting the late Neoproterozoic flysch sedimentation in the Gariep Belt (Namibia) with its potential source region in southern Dom Feliciano Belt (Uruguay) – a U-Pb detrital and protolith zircon study.
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-06-22)
The Dom Feliciano Belt in Uruguay represents a counterpart of the Gariep Belt in Namibia
and these two belts are presently considered as relics of one orogen split by the Atlantic
Ocean. In this study, two presumed flysch samples from the Marmora Terrane of the Gariep
Belt in Namibia, and five samples from potential source areas in the Nico Perez Terrane of the
Dom Feliciano Belt in Uruguay have ...
Real Plane Algebraic Curves
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-06-18)
This master thesis studies several properties of real plane algebraic curves, focusing on the
case of even degree. The question of the relative positions of the connected components
of real plane algebraic curves originates in Hilbert's sixteenth problem which, despite its
prominence, is still open in the case of higher degree curves. The goal of this thesis is an
exposition of fundamental ...
Samhandling og læring i et introduksjonsemne i fysikk basert på digital Peer Instruction
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-06-11)
I de senere år har det vært en skifte mot økt bruk av digitale former for undervisning, og i 2020 ble dette spesielt framskyndet fordi brorparten av undervisningen på universitetsnivå måtte foregå digitalt på grunn av koronapendemien. Det er også voksende interesse for mer studentaktive undervisningsformer for å oppnå bedre læringsutbytte. Dette åpner for nye spørsmål rundt digitale studentaktive ...
Introducing Soft Option-Critic for Blood Glucose Control in Type 1 Diabetes : Exploiting Abstraction of Actions for Automated Insulin Administration
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-07-15)
Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease where the insulin-producing cells are damaged and unable to produce sufficient amounts of insulin, causing an inability to regulate the body's blood sugar levels.
Administrating insulin is necessary for blood glucose regulation, requiring diligent and continuous care from the patient to avoid critical health risks. The dynamics governing insulin-glucose ...
Midlertidig boredekksarbeidere i olje – og gass –sektoren
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-26)
Arbeidslivet er i stadig utvikling og en økende trend er bruk av midlertidige ansatte fra
bemanningsforetak for å spare kostnader og øke fleksibilitet og spesialisering (Milch &
Laumann, 2016). Studiens formål er å undersøke hvordan bruk av midlertidige ansatte fra
bemanningsforetak påvirker sikkerheten på plattformer, her kalt innretninger, og vil avgrense
seg til innleide boredekksarbeidere ...
Detecting Unhealthy Comments in Norwegian using BERT
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-05-28)
In this work we present a new Norwegian labeled dataset of 7078 comments for unhealthy comment detection. The dataset is used to fine-tune a BERT model, and demonstrates that BERT has the ability to detect subtle forms of toxicity, also in Norwegian. We compare how the different newly released Norwegian BERT models perform when fine-tuned on our dataset, and we also experiment with how English data ...
μPyCSP - Two approaches to implementing CSP-like concurrency modeling in microcontrollers.
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-06-30)
In this thesis, we have explored the possibility of bringing CSP-like concurrency modeling to an embedded environment. With the growth of IoT and embedded software, many of the hardships that come with concurrent coding in an inherently event-driven environment become more apparent. Convoluted and complex code is often used to handle the many fallacies of concurrency. We are solving this problem by ...
