Nicola Dibben, Professor at the Department of Music, University of Sheffield, will speak at RITMO's Seminar Series

Jill Locke will introduce her concept of unashamed citizenship (2016) through the case of young women desegregating US schools and extend it to the global climate strike led by Greta Thunberg. She uses her concept of "unashamed citizenship" to re-read young women's activism as deeply connected, intergenerational, and complex struggle rather than the special properties of "girl power" with its tropes and memes of girls' special vision and social power. 

Dr Johan Henriksson, Group Leader of HenLab at Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden (MIMS) will give a presentation entitled "Telomere accessibility in cell cycle and aging".

By Ronald Jenner from the Natural History Museum, London, UK

Abstract: Because of their huge compressibility difference with their surrounding media, air bubbles in water have a special relationship with acoustic waves: they are sub-wavelength resonators. In this presentation, I will show that this characteristic has great implications for both the surrounding fluid, because of the steady streaming effect, but also for the acoustic waves.

This talk is part of the Mechanics Lunch Seminar series. Bring-your-own-lunch and lots of questions.

We introduce SMARTboost (boosting of symmetric smooth additive regression trees), a machine learning model capable of fitting complex functions in high dimensions, yet designed for good performance in small n and low signal-to-noise environments. SMARTboost inherits many of the qualities that have made boosted trees the most widely used machine learning tool for tabular data; it automatically adjusts model complexity, handles continuous and discrete features, can capture nonlinear functions in high dimensions without overfitting, performs variable selection, and can handle highly non-Gaussian features. The combination of smooth symmetric trees and of carefully designed Bayesian priors gives SMARTboost an edge (in comparison with a state-of-the-art tool like XGBoost) in most settings with continuous and mixed discrete-continuous features. Unlike other tree-based methods, it can also compute marginal effects.

Hvilke utfordringer st?ter man p? n?r man skal gjendikte norsk ?kopoesi til engelsk? Kathleen Maris Paltrineri, forfatter og gjendikter fra Iowa, vil snakke om sin praksis som gjendikter, om etikk og ansvar ved oversettelse og om gleden over oppfinnsomt spr?k og poetisk eksperimentering. Hun deler noen dikt hun har oversatt og diskuterer oversettelsesstrategier for disse diktene. Dette blir en tospr?klig diskusjon p? skandinavisk og engelsk.

Det har n? g?tt to ?r siden nedstengingen i Danmark og Norge og den f?rste smitteb?lgen. Prosjektet "Retorikk om Pandemi" (PAR) gir en forl?pig oppsummering.

Professor Justin William Wells, the Semiconductor physics section, UiO

NCMM Associate Investigator, Professor Karl Johan Malmberg, Group Leader of the Malmberg Lab at Oslo University Hospital will present his research as part of the NCMM Tuesday Seminar Series.

Johannes R?sok Eskilt, phd fellow at Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics, UiO.

By Andy Foote from NTNU, Norway

Abstract: This talk is about the non-integer (fractional) derivative, its mathematical formulation by Abel in 1823, and present-day applications in modeling power-law behavior. These applications are in acoustics of complex media like tissue and sediments as well as in rheology, turbulence, and dielectrics. It will build on my book ¡°Waves with Power-Law Attenuation¡±, Springer, 2019.

The talk will be streamed online. Please contact "timokoch at uio.no" for the Zoom link. This talk is part of the Mechanics Lunch Seminar series. Bring-your-own-lunch and lots of questions.

Duncan Watts, postdoctoral fellow at Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics, UiO.
