Reference excerpt

Niels Christian Gauslaa Danbolt (5 November 1900 – 4 September 1984) was a Norwegian professor of medicine who was a specialist in skin diseases. Danbolt-Closs syndrome (acrodermatitis enteropathica) was named after him and Karl Philipp Closs. Danbolt was born in Bergen, Norway. He was the son of Ole Dominicus Danielsen (1863-1941) and Gesine Gauslaa (1866-1964). He was the brother of the missionary priest Lars Johan Danbolt and theology professor Erling Danbolt. He was the uncle of professor Ole Danbolt Mjøs and professor Gunnar Danbolt . His sister Johanna Sophie Danbolt was married to Bishop Olav Hagesæther.

Danbolt was cand.med. in 1925 and took the dr.med. degree at the University of Oslo in 1932. He studied in Zurich in 1934, Freiburg in 1936 and in the United States in 1946. He served multiple years as chairman of the Norwegian Dermatological Association. He served as a chief physician at Rikshospitalet as well as professor at the University of Oslo from 1936 to 1970.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Niels Christian Gauslaa Danbolt

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Niels Christian Gauslaa Danbolt claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Niels Christian Gauslaa Danbolt before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Niels Christian Gauslaa Danbolt ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Niels Christian Gauslaa Danbolt

In research: Niels Christian Gauslaa Danbolt appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Niels Christian Gauslaa Danbolt in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Niels Christian Gauslaa Danbolt is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1900 births, 1984 deaths, Academic staff of the University of Oslo, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Niels Christian Gauslaa Danbolt outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
