Contextual effects on behavioural self-enhancement: the role of situational predictors on overclaiming and false-claiming in undergraduate students

In this thesis we presented a comprehensive investigation of the thermodynamic behaviour of several astrophysically interesting crystalline phases. Then, for the first time, we derived a 2-dimensional distribution of gas and crystalline grains within a protoplanetary disc, and applied analytical calculations to study the possible chemistry and dynamics of grains and predict their evolution. Our results provide vital clues and new insights on the possible mechanisms that produced the observed crystalline grain distribution in protoplanetary discs, and the bulk material which likely formed meteorites and the planets in our Solar System.
