Virkninga av å ha et bølgedempende overflatemateriale i ei havoverflate er studert, med særlig vekt på betydninga av strålingstrykket (-stresset) eller bølgetrykket fra et innfallende, udempet bølgefelt. Det er et teoretisk studium av den dynamiske prosess som foregår når udempede overflatebølger propagerer inn i et område med bølgedempende overflatesjikt, i lys av det bølgetrykk bølgene øver på ...

Large fields of view (FOVs) in total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM) via waveguides have been shown to be highly beneficial for single molecule localisation microscopy on fixed cells [1,2] and have also been demonstrated for short‐term live‐imaging of robust cell types [3‐5], but not yet for delicate primary neurons nor over extended periods of time. Here, we present a waveguide‐based ...

Chip–based fluorescence imaging is an emerging field where the fluorophores in a sample are excited by the evanescent field generated by waveguides. The aim of this thesis is to explore how waveguide–based excitation can benefit super–resolution optical microscopy, as well as investigate other imaging and spectroscopic applications which can benefit from the same platform. For all imaging and ...

In the maritime industry, it is of vital importance that personnel onboard ships are familiarized with the ship’s layout, along with safety equipment and processes for safeguarding of the individual seafarer and the ship’s crew. In fact, international maritime regulations require that all personnel employed or engaged on a seagoing ship receive proper familiarization training. However, several studies ...

Changes in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in the quadrupled CO₂ experiments conducted under the sixth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) are examined. Increased CO₂ triggers extensive Arctic warming, causing widespread melting of sea ice. The resulting freshwater spreads southward, frst from the Labrador Sea and then the Nordic Seas, and ...

<i>Background</i> - Wearable devices with an ability to collect various type of physiological data are increasingly becoming seamlessly integrated into everyday life of people. In the area of electronic health (eHealth), many of these devices provide remote transfer of health data, as a result of the increasing need for ambulatory monitoring of patients. This has a potential to reduce the cost ...

Cyber-physical IoT nodes located in environments which are resource-constrained and physically hard to access, like the Arctic tundra, must achieve long operational lifetimes from a single battery and report data over data networks. The nodes sleep most of the time, and only wake up to perform mission tasks, including reporting data. However, networks can become unavailable, or have low bandwidth ...

We present several fundamental duality theorems for matroids and more general combinatorial structures. As a special case, these results show that the maximal cardinalities of fixed-ranked sets of a matroid determine the corresponding maximal cardinalities of the dual matroid. Our main results are applied to perfect matroid designs, graphs, transversals, and linear codes over division rings, in each ...

Avalanches usually occur in steep, snow-covered mountain sides under special conditions. The stability of the snowpack depends, among other things, on the melting and freezing of the snowpack. If a snow covered area has not undergone a melt/freeze-process, it could potentially be unstable due to depth hoar or buried layers of frost, and therefore pose an avalanche risk if the area is located at a ...
