Geometry of the Prytz Planimeter

The Prytz planimeter is a simple example of a system governed by a non-holonomic constraint. It is unique among planimeters in that it measures something more subtle than area, combining the area, centroid and other moments of the region being measured, with weights depending on the length of the planimeter. As a tool for measuring area, it is most accurate for regions that are small relative to its length. The configuration space of the planimeter is a non-principal circle bundle acted on by SU(1,1), (isom. to SL(2,R)). The motion of the planimeter is realized as parallel translation for a connection on this bundle and for a connection on a principal SU(1,1)-bundle. The holonomy group is SU(1,1). As a consequence, the planimeter is an example of a system with a phase shift on the circle that is not a simple rotation. There is a qualitative difference in the holonomy when tracing large regions as opposed to small ones. Generic elements of SU(1,1) act on S^1 with two fixed points or with no fixed points. When tracing small regions, the holonomy acts without fixed points. Menzin's conjecture states (roughly) that if a planimeter of length L traces the boundary of a region with area A > pi L^2, then it exhibits an asymptotic behavior and the holonomy acts with two fixed points, one attracting and one repelling. This is obvious if the region is a disk, and intuitively plausible if the region is convex and A >> pi L^2. A proof of this conjecture is given for a special case, and the conjecture is shown to imply the isoperimetric inequality.Comment: AmS-TeX, 23 pages, 12 figures in 2 *.gif files.

Automated approaches for band gap mapping in STEM-EELS

Band gap variations in thin film structures, across grain boundaries, and in embedded nanoparticles are of increasing interest in the materials science community. As many common experimental techniques for measuring band gaps do not have the spatial resolution needed to observe these variations directly, probe-corrected Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope (STEM) with monochromated Electron Energy-Loss Spectroscopy (EELS) is a promising method for studying band gaps of such features. However, extraction of band gaps from EELS data sets usually requires heavy user involvement, and makes the analysis of large data sets challenging. Here we develop and present methods for automated extraction of band gap maps from large STEM-EELS data sets with high spatial resolution while preserving high accuracy and precision

Transition metal d-band occupancy in skutterudites studied by electron energy-loss spectroscopy

The transition-metal 3d occupancy of a series of thermoelectric skutterudites is investigated using electron energy-loss spectroscopy. We find that bonding causes an emptying of the 3d states in the binary skutterudites CoP3, CoAs3, CoSb3, and NiP3, while compared to the pure Fe the 3d occupancy in LaFe4P12 is significantly increased, consistent with the idea that each interstitial La atom (rattler) donates three electrons to compensate for missing valence electron of Fe as compared to Co. These experimental results are in agreement with previous models suggesting a predominantly covalent bonding between transition metal and pnictogen atoms in skutterudites, and provide evidence of charge transfer from La to the Fe-P complex in LaFe4P12

Identity, Culture and Literature: Hanif Kureishi’s The Buddha of Suburbia in Norwegian upper secondary classrooms

Denne avhandlingen undersøker hvordan lesing av flerkulturelle litterære tekster, i motsetning til andre typer tekster, kan fremme interkulturell kompetanse i norsk videregående engelskfaglige klasserom. Nærmere bestemt undersøker den hvordan Hanif Kureishis Forstads Buddha (2017) kan brukes som kilde til å undervise i interkulturell kompetanse til norske elever. Den drøfter også de sentrale delene av Læreplanen i engelsk som presentert i Fagfornyelsen fra 2020 (LK20), den nyeste revisjonen av den norske nasjonale læreplanen. Avhandlingen benytter to forskningsmetoder: en litteraturgjennomgang, for å legge grunnlaget for temaene som tas opp i diskusjonen, og en litteratur analyse av Hanif Kureishis roman The Buddha of Suburbia (2017). Litteratur analysen fastsetter de relevante aspektene ved romanen for avhandlingen. I avsluttende kapitler drøfter avhandlingen de didaktiske fordelene ved å bruke flerkulturell litteratur i videregående opplæring i Norge og vil forsøke å svare på problemstillingen. Det vil også bli fremmet forslag til videre forskning på dette temaet. Denne avhandlingen er teoribasert og kan på dette tidspunktet kun gi forslag til hvordan man kan arbeide med interkulturell kompetanse gjennom litteratur i norske klasserom.This thesis examines how reading multicultural literary texts, opposed to other types of texts, can foster intercultural competence in Norwegian upper secondary English subject classrooms. More specifically, it examines how Hanif Kureishi’s The Buddha of Suburbia (2017) can be used as a source for teaching intercultural competence to Norwegian learners. It also discusses the central parts of the subject English curriculum, as presented in Knowledge Promotion of 2020 (LK20), the newest revision of the Norwegian national curriculum. The thesis utilizes two research methods: a literature review, to lay the groundwork for the topics that are being brought up in the discussion, and a close reading of Hanif Kureishi’s coming-of-age novel The Buddha of Suburbia (2017). The close reading establishes the relevant aspects of the novel for the thesis. In the concluding chapters, the thesis discusses the didactic benefits of using multicultural literature in upper secondary education in Norway and will try to answer the research question. There will also be a suggestion for further research on this topic This thesis is theory-based and at this point, it can only offer suggestions as to how to work with intercultural competence through literature in Norwegian classrooms

Promoting Data Journalism with Purpose-Made Systems: A case study of the benefits of purpose-made data journalism systems among Norwegian Data Journalists

The research project presented in this thesis is a case study investigating the usefulness of purpose-made data journalism systems. The study consists of two investigations, the first informal and exploratory, and the other more extensive and rigorous. The study features interviews with Norwegian data journalists based in the city of Bergen, which constitutes the main source of data. As part of the research, a prototype purpose-made data journalism system has been developed, based on preliminary findings from the exploratory investigation. The research carried out indicates that there is potential for developing computer systems designed to solve certain specific data journalism systems, concluding with a proposed application.Masteroppgave i informasjonsvitenskapINFO390MASV-IKTMASV-INF

Artistic expressions in landscape architecture : a example study on creativity and art to strengthen public space

Konsten har länge varit viktig inom staden och landskapsarkitekturen. I utvecklingen av stadsrummet prioriteras funktion och evidens över konstnärliga och originella uttryck. Syftet är att diskutera på vilket sätt konst kan bidra till att stärka offentliga rum i staden och vidare belysa olika skapandeprocesser som kan leda till konstnärliga och originella uttryck i staden. Uppsatsen bygger på en litteraturstudie och en exempelstudie som ska skapa underlag för en nyanserad diskussion kring syftet. Uppsatsens litteraturstudie diskuterar tre huvudämnen: hur konst och konstbegreppet definierats genom historien, hur konsten påverkar människan och samhället och om olika teorier och lagar som berör konstens plats i landskapsarkitekturen och i det offentliga rummet. Målet med uppsatsens exempelstudie är att visa på konstnärliga uttryck och originalitet inom arkitekturen och landskapskonsten och sedan diskutera och peka på vad landskapsarkitekter kan lära sig av detta i gestaltandet av offentliga miljöer. Genom att tänja på gränserna inom respektive yrke och viljan att skapa identitetstarka platser visar personerna hur offentliga rum kan stärkas. Det finns mycket landskapsarkitekter kan ta lärdom av från arkitekter och landskapskonstnärer för att gestalta konstnärliga miljöer och skapa originella uttryck.Art has long been important in urban and landscape architecture. In the development of urban space, function and evidence are prioritized over artistic and original expression. The aim is to discuss how art can contribute to strengthening public spaces in the city and furthermore highlight different creative processes that can lead to artistic and original expressions in the city. The essay is based on a literature study and an example study that will create a basis for a nuanced discussion of the purpose. The literature study discusses three main topics: how the concept of art has been defined throughout history, how art affects people and society, and various theories and laws that affect art's place in landscape architecture and public space. The goal of the essay's example study is to show artistic expression and originality in architecture and landscape art and then discuss and point out what landscape architects can learn from this in their design of public environments. By pushing the boundaries of their respective professions and the desire to create places with a strong identity, they show how public spaces can be strengthened. There is much that landscape architects can learn from architects and landscape artists to design artistic environments and create original expressions
