On the activation energy for the formation of a critical size water cluster in structure I and structure II gas hydrates
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)In the present thesis, experiments have been performed in order to study the activation energy for the formation of a stable, critical size water cluster in structure I and structure II gas hydrates. This activation energy ... -
On the algebraic classification of pseudo-Riemannian spaces
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-12)We consider arbitrary-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian spaces of signature (k, k + m). We introduce a boost-weight decomposition and define a number of algebraic properties (e.g. the Si- and N-properties) and present a ... -
