• Aspects of X-Ray Diffraction Using Mathematica 

      Ramsnes, Stian (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06-15)
      A specialised Mathematica package has been launched, which is intended to become a valuable tool in our line of work. Old and new code has been compiled to a single, organised and flexible package, featuring a neat ...
    • Computational Statistics and Data Analysis: Robustness of the Linear Mixed Effects Model to Non-normality of Longitudinal Data. 

      Eze, Sunday (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06)
      The Linear mixed effects model is based on one of the assumptions, which is that data are normally distributed as the errors and random effects in the model are assumed to have normal distributions; but in practice, ...
    • Estimation Error in Statistical Process Control 

      Johnson, Caroline (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06)
      This thesis examines estimation errors which occur in control charts with estimated parameters, the effect that these errors have on the charts and the current methods which aim to account for the errors. There is a ...
    • Gravitational waves from tachyonic preheating 

      Hetland, Bjarte (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06)
      Most models of the universe, which are in agreement with current observations, include some form of extremely rapid expansion of space at a very early stage. This is called cosmological inflation, or just inflation. Most ...
    • Plasma drilling on solar system objects 

      Asamoah Boateng, Edward Kwame (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06)
      The search for water, minerals and most importantly evidence of life on other objects of our solar system will require access to the subsurface for sampling and in situ investigations. Drilling is therefore needed for this ...
    • Quantum correction to inflation and curvature perturbation 

      Subedi, Sundar (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06)
      Inflation is a sudden and near exponential expansion of space in early universe. Infla- tion solved flatness problem, horizon problem and monopole problem that persisted in standard big bang cosmology. It was not only useful ...
    • Size estimation of nano-particles from synchrotron X-ray data 

      Hung, Wai Shing (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06-15)
      Three samples of Ag2SO4 powder were heated up from 380 °C to 540 °C and then cooled down to 380 °C using an in-house made heat blower with a thermo-couple based temperature controller. During the heating process, synchrotron ...
    • Some models for the magnetization of the drilling mud 

      Pattarini, Giorgio (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06)
      The problem that a magnetic drilling mud cause to the accuracy of the directional drilling technology is outlined. The purpose of the work is identified in the theoretical modelling of the magnetic response of the magnetic ...
    • Stability of anisotropic perfect fluid spheres with electrical charge when the cosmological constant is included 

      Ravndal, Arne (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06)
      The main task of this thesis is to investigate the stability of anisotropic perfect fluid spheres with electrical charge when the cosmological constant is included. However, before we get so far we needed to read articles ...
    • Study Of The 1D Three Phase Liquid, Gas And Cutting Model For Vertical Well Flow 

      Okoye, Ejike (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06)
      This is a Master's thesis in Physics, elaborated at the University of Stavanger in the 2014 Fall and 2015 Spring semesters, as partial accomplishment of the duties due in the Master Course in Mathematics and Physics. The ...
    • The dream of imitating our Sun: The hopes and prospects for unlimited energy 

      Harbo, Erlend Einerkjær (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06)
      This paper follows the historical development of the fusion research, with an ultimate goal to make a fusion power plant. Starting in the 1950`s, the different methods, setbacks and breakthroughs are explained. Fusion ...
