Critical Properties of the Abelian Higgs Model.: A Monte Carlo Study
(Dr. ingeniøravhandling, 0809-103X; 2002:27, Doctoral thesis, 2002)We have studied various aspects of the critical properties of the Abelian Higgs model. The initial motivation to study this model is its relation to superconductivity, but the results extend beyond the realms of ... -
Phase structure and critical properties of an abelian gauge theory
(Dr. ingeniøravhandling, 0809-103X; 2001:116, Doctoral thesis, 2002)Chapter 1 to 4 give a short introduction to superconductivity, microscopic theory, phase transitions, and Monte-Carlo simulations. Chapter 2 is about Cooper pairing in different settings, but I also give a short introduction ... -
Statistical Thermodynamics of Proteins
(Dr. ingeniøravhandling, 0809-103X; 2002:26, Doctoral thesis, 2002)The subject of this thesis is to formulate effective energy expressions (Hamiltonians) of proteins and protein related systems. By use of equilibrium statistical mechanics we calculate thermodynamical functions, whereupon ... -
Perceptions of technology education:: a cross-case study of teachers realising technology as a new subject of teaching
(Doctoral thesis, 2003)Education has become internationalised. Educational trends, concerns and debates exceed national and cultural borders, and ideas and innovations are being exchanged and transferred. Many curriculum programmes and reforms ... -
Betti designature and elastic demultiple of multi-component seismic data
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181, Doctoral thesis, 2003)In this work I show that Bettis's theorem provides the theoretical basis for eliminating the physical response of the medium above the receiver surface (overburden) in the multi-component source, multi-component receiver ... -
Quantitative Convergent Beam Electron Diffraction and Charge Density Studies
(Dr. ingeniøravhandling, 0809-103X; 2003:97, Doctoral thesis, 2003)Very accurate low-order structure factors have been measured in copper, magnesium and strontium titanate using quantitative convergent beam electron diffraction (QCBED). The charge density distribution in these materials ... -
Rotational Diffusion Processes in Segmented Polymers. Theory and Computer Simulations
(Dr.ingeniøravhandling, 0809-103X; 2002:139, Doctoral thesis, 2003)All biological macromolecules (DNA, RNA, proteins, polysaccarids) are polymers. These are extremely complex systems, with thousands or millions of atomic degrees of freedom. However, a range of important properties of such ... -
