Anharmonic effects in linear and nonlinear vibrational spectroscopy

The aim of the project is studying the computational possibilities for predicting Raman Optical Activity (ROA) and Vibrational Circular Dichroism (VCD) spectra using an anharmonic oscillator model for small organic molecules such as cysteine and camphor.

Resultatives with a Reflexive Morpheme

In this project, I plan to investigate (and propose a formal analysis based on general principles of natural language) the resultative constructions with a reflexive morpheme, of a type "Karl hostet seg til døren" in three languages (Czech, Norwegian and Northern Sámi). In particular, there are ...

Socially and corticosterone mediated differences in individual helping behaviour in a cooperatively breeding bird

In cooperative breeding, helpers contribute to raising offspring that are not their own. Despite the success of theories such as kin selection in explaining broad patterns of helping, large amounts of within- and between-individual variation in helping ef fort remains unexplained. Much of this pr...

Wolf attacks on humans: summarizing the historical and contemporary evidence

The return of wolves is controversial across Europe. One of the issues behind the controversy is that people are afraid for the impact wolves will have on their personal safety. Are these concerns based on myths like Little Red Riding Hood, or are there e lements of truth in these old tales? The ...

THE RIF WAR IN SCANDINAVIA: HUMANITARIAN ACTORS, DEBATES AND INITIATIVES (1925-1926)

The so-called Rif War was a harsh conflict that involved Morocco, Spain and France between 1921 and 1927. This conflict had a terrible human cost for all belligerents involved in it, especially for the northern Moroccan tribes of the Rif region. The estim ated total death toll amounted to several...
