Universe phenomenology as understood from gravitational theories with non-vanishing torsion: cosmology and black holes by Beckering Vinckers, Ulrich Karoo

“…We then study these focusing conditions for three bi-parametric cosmological models. Finally, we turn our attention back to the Einstein-Cartan theory and derive the Arnowitt-DeserMisner formulation of this theory. …”

Aspects of the composition and origin of achondrites and mesosiderites by Simpson, Alexander Bruce

“…University of Cape Town - xxi - A comprehensive study of inter-element relationships, particularly of those involving refractory elements, was carried out to establish the relations between the three main achondrite classes and between th~ basaltic achondrites and the silicate fractions of mesosiderites for the purpose of gaining information on the possible modes of origin of these meteorites. Additional evidence on the genesis_ of the eucrites was obtained from mathematical modelling. …”
