<p>With the recent developments in augmented reality (AR) technologies comes an increased interest in the use of smart glasses for hands-on training. Whether this interest is turned into market success depends at the least on whether the interaction with smart AR glasses satisfies users, an aspect of AR use that so far has received little attention. <p>With this contribution, we seek to change ...

The mandatory Polar Code is now set into force with strengthened requirements for vessels operating in polar waters. There are many challenges, and the polar environment adds an increased risk level. The preventive actions towards mitigating risks are more important due to the harsh environment, long distances and limited options for assistant rescue. Most accidents and incidents have pre-occurring ...

Large reservoirs of methane present in Arctic marine sediments are susceptible to rapid warming, promoting increasing methane emissions. Gas bubbles in the water column can be detected, and flow rates can be quantified using hydroacoustic survey methods, making it possible to monitor spatiotemporal variability. We present methane (CH₄) bubble flow rates derived from hydroacoustic data ...

The main goal of this thesis is to study finite reflection groups (Coxeter groups) W and to use these to generate polytopes in two and three dimensions. Such polytopes will be generated as the convex hull of the W-orbit through an initial point. We prove an efficient recipe for finding the stabilizer of an initial point, and examine several examples of such polytopes and illustrate how many vertices, ...

Denne masteroppgaven er et multiple case-studie av elever fra to 10.klasser. Formålet med studien er å undersøke om elevene uttrykker autonomi i undervisningstimene der de arbeider med et undersøkende undervisningsopplegg. Bakgrunnen for valg av problemstilling er det nye læreplanverket som trer i kraft i 2020, der tilrettelegging for dybdelæring står i fokus. Oppgaven presenterer både matematisk ...

In this thesis, synthesis of 3 different dibenzylideneacetone (DBA)-analogues and 4 different ethyl 2-oxo-6-phenyl-4-(2-phenylethenyl)-4-cyclohexene-1-carboxylate-analogues that have not been reported before were synthesized, as well as a range of analogues that have been reported before. Both symmetrical and unsymmetrical DBA-analogues were made. The yields of many of these reactions were low, but ...

Multi-spectral quantitative phase imaging (QPI) is an emerging imaging modality for wavelength dependent studies of several biological and industrial specimens. Simultaneous multi-spectral QPI is generally performed with color CCD cameras. Here, we present a new approach for accurately measuring the color crosstalk of 2D area detectors, without needing prior information about camera specifications. ...

XTHs (xylogclucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolases) are a group of plant enzymes that regulate xyloglucan crosslinking in cell walls and play an essential role in regulation of plant growth. It is thought that XTHs play an integral role in the way the parasitic vine plant Cuscuta is able to penetrate host plant cell walls. Parasitic higher plants are a formidable threat to agricultural production ...

XTH er en gruppe enzymer som ble oppdaget tidlig på 90 tallet og muligens er involvert i Cuscuta infeksjonen av tomater. En nylig studie gjort ved arktisk og marin biologi UIT viser at Brilliant Blue R250 fungerer som en god inhibitor mot disse enzymene. I dette prosjektet ble det fokusert på å syntetisere strukturelt like molekyler for å potensielt øke vannløseligheten og inhibitoraktiviteten. ...

Labelfree nanoscopy encompasses optical imaging with resolution in the 100 nm range using visible wavelengths. Here, we present a labelfree nanoscopy method that combines coherent imaging techniques with waveguide microscopy to realize a <i>super-condenser</i> featuring maximally inclined coherent darkfield illumination with artificially stretched wave vectors due to large refractive indices of the ...
