Investigation of salinity impact on rate and amplitude of the seasonal water temperature changes in a fjord in Western Norway

This study in physics of fjords and lakes investigates the impact of salinity on density stratification. The hypothesis of a fjord being more stratified and warming/cooling faster than a freshwater lake is formulated. Data is gathered using a kayak, long temperature probe and two methods of water sample collection. Temperature and salinity data is collected throughout the year 2014 in …

Motivic Symbols and Classical Multiplicative Functions

The notion of a multiplicative function is one of the central building blocks of modern number theory, and were studied by Euler, Gauss and Ramanujan among others. Classical multiplicative functions work as machines giving key information about various properties of positive integers. For example, there is a function which outputs 1 if the input is a square number, and 0 …
