Several Archean granitoid-greenstone terranes are exposed on the southeastern Kaapvaal craton in South Africa, but they received little scientific attention compared to the archetypal greenstone belt successions of the Barberton Mountain Land at the eastern craton margin. This study reports on a detailed field and geochemical survey of the Buffalo River Greenstone Belt at the southern Kaapvaal craton ...

Learning data representations that reflect the customers’ creditworthiness can improve marketing campaigns, customer relationship management, data and process management or the credit risk assessment in retail banks. In this research, we show that it is possible to steer data representations in the latent space of the Variational Autoencoder (VAE) using a semi-supervised learning framework and a ...

Masteroppgaven er skrevet på bakgrunn av en nysgjerrighet rundt temaet bærekraftig utvikling etter at dette har fått en større plass i fagfornyelsen (LK20). Målet med oppgaven er å belyse hvordan man som lærer kan legge opp undervisningopplegg i temaet slik at elevene får den kompetansen de trenger etter endt undervisning. Gjennomførelsen av studien er blitt gjort i samarbeid med LISSI- prosjektet ...

Formålet med denne studien var å undersøke lærere og elevers refleksjoner rundt egen naturfagundervisning, i lys av den økende vektleggingen av utforskende arbeidsmåter i læreplanene. Det ble gjort en mixed methods casestudie av en ungdomsskoleklasse og deres lærer. Studien benytter metodetriangulering i form av spørreskjema og intervjuer med læreren og en gruppe elever. Dette med hensikt å besvare ...

Long-term hydrographic time series data from two fixed stations in the northern Norwegian fjords Malangen and Balsfjorden from the period 1980 - 2022 have been examined. The data have been supplemented with model results from the ocean model NorFjords160 over the period April 1st 2017 to December 31st 2022. To gain a deeper understanding of the oceanographic variability and change, the environmental ...

We identified a ca. 180 Ma diamondiferous lamproite event in Zambia, establishing a link between ultrapotassic volcanism and the early Jurassic Karoo flood basalt province of sub-Saharan Africa. The cratonic lamproites erupted through the Permo–Triassic Luangwa Rift structure, but MgO-rich ultrapotassic magma formation was unrelated to rifting and triggered by plume–lithosphere interactions during ...

Conditional averaging is a signal processing method used to study turbulent fluctuations in a variety of fields. The method, in its simplest form, works by finding peaks in a signal that fulfill a certain size threshold. Equally sized excerpts of the signal around every peak are then cut out and averaged. This yields the average shape of the events that fulfill the condition. Based on the peak ...

Sports today are more competitive than ever, with an eye for extreme details. Small margins can differentiate between succeeding or failing. That is why it is essential for a team to pay attention to all these margins and use them to their advantage. Technology today plays a huge part in sports. With video cameras and sensors following the players’ every move, it is vital to use this technology ...

This master’s thesis evaluates the scalability and cost-effectiveness of the AWS cloud platform used to collect and utilize data generated by the 87 digitally equipped trams. The SL-18 Cloud Platform was developed before the trams arrived, and resource configuration estimates were made to handle the data generated by the trams. However, with a few trams currently operational, it is crucial to evaluate ...

Sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) offers a novel retrospective approach to reconstructing the history of marine ecosystems over geological timescales. Until now, the biological proxies used to reconstruct paleoceanographic and paleoecological conditions were limited to organisms whose remains are preserved in the fossil record. The development of ancient DNA analysis techniques substantially expands ...
