1. Deformation and failure of hard rock under laboratory and field conditions
Sammanfattning : The understanding of the fracture mechanisms and failure processes of the rock is an important requirement for the design of mining excavations and civil engineering constructions. The fracture process is necessary for the excavation and fragmentation of rock, but fracture of rock must be avoided and controlled to preserve the integrity of the construction. LÄS MER
2. How It All Relates : Exploring the Space of Value Comparisons
Sammanfattning : This thesis explores whether the three standard value relations, “better than”, “worse than” and “equally as good”, exhaust the possibilities in which things can relate with respect to their value. Or more precisely, whether there are examples in which one of these relations is not instantiated. LÄS MER
3. Bumpy light curves of interacting supernovae
Sammanfattning : A supernova (SN) is the explosive destruction of a star. Via a luminous outpouring of radiation, the SN can rival the brightness of its SN host galaxy for months or years. LÄS MER
4. Theoretical studies of X-ray induced nuclear dynamics
Sammanfattning : The present thesis is a theoretical study of several x-ray spectroscopies { x-ray absorption, xray photoelectron, radiative and non-radiative resonant Raman scattering spectroscopy. The main focus point is investigating the role of the nuclear dynamics in molecules (naphthalene, biphenyl, the water dimer, HCl) on these spectra. LÄS MER
5. Assessment of Interruption Costs in Electric Power Systems using the Weibull-Markov Mode
Sammanfattning : Modern competitive electricity markets do not ask for power systems with the highest possible technical perfection, but for systems with the highest possible economic efficiency. Higher efficiency can only be reached when accurate and flexible analysis tools are used. LÄS MER
