| info | Modeling the free-surface boundary layer and gas exchange processes | Dr. Li-Ping Hung | 14.11.2011 - 16.11.2011 09:00-12:00 | ECTS-Points: 3 |
| Abstract: Abstract: The complex behavior of turbulence which involves the mixture of the wide range of length and time scales is the consequence of a fairly simple set of equations Navier-Stokes equations. However, analytical solutions to even the simplest turbulent flows do not exist. A complete description of turbulent flow can only be obtained by numerically solving Navier-Stokes equations. Instead of solving the statistical evolution of the flow, or including the parameterization of small-scale turbulence, direct numerical simulation (DNS) aims to resolve the instantaneous flow field. In the first part of this lecture, we review some contribution of DNS to the turbulence research. It is well-known that gas exchange across air-sea interface is dominated by the turbulent boundary layer in the water side. To understand the turbulent behavior in this boundary layer, except to solve the Navier-Stokes equations, the statistics-based, conceptual model, e.g. surface-renewal model, random-eddy model, etc. and the hydrodynamics-based model, e.g. large-eddy model, small-eddy model etc. have been accepted to describe the transfer processes across air-sea interface. In the second part of the lecture, we briefly introduce these models and their application. Contents: 1.

| info | Project Management Tailored for Doctoral Thesis | Dr. Karen Dittmann | Oct 19th & 20th, Dec 8th 2011 | ECTS-Points: 2 |
| Abstract: Working as a PhD student you have the challenging task of developing research findings and write you doctoral thesis within three years. This alone is a demanding job. In addition, it is vital to the scientific process that your findings are presented to the scientific community. For most PhD students this is the first big project in their professional life and it could have a crucial impact on their future professional career. PhD students are highly motivated when they start their PhD studies but may underestimate the need for professional management for this three-year project \"doctoral thesis\". This seminar demonstrates how to approach the doctoral thesis in a professional way. Project management tools and techniques are used, tailored to the specific situation of PhD students. You will learn how to set a project vision, define clear objectives, gain buy-in from your supervisor and other colleagues in your group, and how to develop a project plan, which is structured and at the same time flexible enough to easily adjust to unexpected findings. You will establish a \"controlling cycle\" which helps you to recognise risks and problems as early as possible, and you will learn how to manage critical situations and deal with ups and downs. Furthermore, networking with colleagues, supervisors and other people is an important topic of this seminar. Throughout the seminar, you will work on your own doctoral thesis and share your experience with others. This seminar is most beneficial for PhD students who are in the early phases of their doctoral thesis. At the end of the seminar you will have established a strategy on how to approach your own doctoral thesis. During the follow-up REVIEW we will share experience and best practices and deal with open questions from the first module. This seminar will help you to make the most effective use of your three years and finish your doctoral thesis on time. You will also learn and practise the basic concepts of project management - which are required in industry and research institutions.

| Abstract: The course and lecture introduces time-discrete and time-continous mathematical models in form of the difference equations and ordinary differential equations and presents their applications in biology. We provide mathematical methods to study dynamics of such models, existence and linear stability of the the steady states and qualitative analysis of time-dependent dynamics. For this purpose we introduce basic knowledge of complex numbers, systems of linear algebraic equations, matrices, their eigenvalues and eigenvectors; recursive methods, and ordinary differential equations. The theory is illustrated by examples from mathematical biology. Objectives: To provide a background in mathematical methods of difference equations and ordinary differential equations for mathematical modelling of biological systems | Time: 9:00 | Location: Lecture SR 044 in BIOQUANT, Tutorial -103 in INF 294 |

| Abstract: The content of the tutorial will be based on the R-package INLA (http://www.r-inla.org/), where INLA stands for integrated nested Laplace approximation, and the theory related to that software. This includes Bayesian inference for data where (some of) the parameters can be described through Gaussian Markov Random Fields (GMRFs) and the connection between GMRFs and stochastic partial differential equations. The INLA software is largely based on two papers published in the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series B: http://www.math.ntnu.no/~hrue/r-inla.org/papers/inla-rss.pdf http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1467-9868.2011.00777.x/full In order to get the most out of the tutorial, the attendees should bring their own laptop with R and INLA installed.
