Influence of oligoguluronates on alginate gelation and on alginate gel properties
(Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2016:59, Doctoral thesis, 2016)Alginates are very abundant material in nature, mostly known for its gelling ability. Alginate is a family of linear copolymers of β-D-mannuronic acid and α-L-guluronic acid. Due to its biocompatibility, nontoxicity and ... -
In-plane Fracture Front Propagation in the Thin Plate Fiber Bundle Model
(Master thesis, 2016)A new history independent thin plate Fiber Bundle Model is derived in or- der to model in-plane material fracture. The model provides an easy way of studying the not yet fully understood fracture processing zone. Only ... -
Three-optical-cycle frequency comb centered around 4.2 µm using OP-GaP-based half-harmonic generation
(Chapter, 2016)We report a broadband mid-infrared frequency comb with three-optical-cycle pulse duration centered around 4.2 µm, with up to 220 mW average power, via OP-GaP-based half-harmonic generation pumped by mode-locked fiber lasers. -
Rayleigh and Wood anomalies in the diffraction of light from a perfectly conducting reflection grating
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)By means of a modal method we have calculated the angular dependence of the reflectivity and the efficiencies of several other diffracted orders of a perfectly conducting lamellar reflection grating illuminated by p-polarized ... -
