By restricting generating functions of infinitesimal symmetries of symplectic and contact vector spaces to quadratic forms, we obtain a finite-dimensional Lie subalgebra, consisting of vector fields isomorphic to the linear symplectic or conformal symplectic algebra. This allows us to look for joint invariants of the diagonal action of g on product manifolds. We find an explicit recipe for creating ...

Bakgrunn: Nonverbal og verbal kommunikasjon er svært viktig i møtet mellom lege og pasient, og tidligere studier har vist at kommunikasjonen påvirker diagnostikk, behandling og lege-pasient-relasjon. Kommunikasjonssvikt er en av hovedårsakene til klagesaker i helsetjenesten og at pasienter bytter lege. Formål: Formålet med studien er å belyse om legens nonverbale og verbale kommunikative signal ...

Species are likely to segregate their ecological niches to minimize competition for resources, but for centrally foraging predators that breed on sub-Antarctic islands in the Southern Ocean the possibility of niche segregation may be minimal. This study is the first to examine the spatial and trophic aspects of the foraging niche of sympatrically breeding macaroni and chinstrap penguins at the ...

The aim is to assess oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and factors associated with OHRQoL among the students of the medical university. Methods. The cross-sectional study included 308 Russian speaking third year students aged 19-25 years from the Faculty of General Medicine, Paediatrics, Preventive Medicine and Dentistry of the Northern State Medical University (NSMU), Arkhangelsk, Russian ...

Global climate change is becoming of increasing concern. Transportation makes up a large part of carbon gasses, which affects climate change and air quality. As transportation is a big part of carbon emissions, everybody can contribute to reducing emissions through transportation. One way for people to contribute is to start choosing greener transportation. Nuding is a tool that can be used to ...

As modern computer hardware becomes more affordable, the application areas of Artificial Intelligence (AI) expand and become more feasible to implement efficiently. This aspect opens up opportunities where AI robots can be used to support and improve many areas of human lives. One such area is education, and this thesis project combines AI and education to evaluate whether the results from that union ...

Oppgaven handler om hvordan informasjon og struktur en bruker profil trenger for og og kunne lagre smart nudges, og bruke dette til og finne brukerens preferanser. Et design på brukerprofil er laget og dette designet er brukt for og implementere en brukerprofil som inneholder smart nudger.

This study uses the logistic S-curve model to describe the evolution and development of Bengali language and its´ case system. In linguistics, S-curve model describes the change of a language in proportion to time. This model should be able to explain the sociolinguistics change of a language in certain period of its´ history. Therefore, this thesis uses this model to show how the old version of ...

The current study tried to test the Slabakova’s Bottleneck Hypothesis which claims that “functional morphology is the bottleneck of the SLA” (Slabakova, 2006, 2008, 2013). A total of 44 participants in 3 groups answered three kinds of questions including Proficiency Test, GJT, and Background questionnaire. Subject-verb agreement and past tense -ed were selected to test functional morphology while ...

Snow avalanches threaten human lives, settlements and roads in snow covered mountainous areas. For avalanche forecasting, knowledge of the spatio-temporal occurrence of avalanche activity is critical. Automatic avalanche detection algorithms have been developed to enable consistent avalanche activity monitoring for large regions. The Satskred avalanche detection algorithm developed by NORCE applies ...
