Synchrotron X-ray Diffraction Studies on Oxide Surfaces and Interfaces.
(2014)
Surfaces and interfaces of oxide crystals have gained a burst of attention in recent years due to their importance in technological applications as well as fundamental interest in their exotic behavior. Zinc oxide (ZnO) ...
Rotationally invariant integrals of arbitrary dimensions
(2014-09-10)
In this note integrals over spherical volumes with rotationally invariant densities
are computed. Exploiting the rotational invariance, and using identities in the integration
over Gaussian functions, the general ...
Using semiparametric‐mixed model and functional linear model to detect vulnerable prenatal window to carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on fetal growth
(Chapman and HallWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2014-03)
Quantum Information Processing with Trapped Ions and Cold Atomic Gases.
(2014)
Quantum technology with atomic, molecular and optical systems has advanced to a stage that single particles can be manipulated precisely so that quantum information processing is no longer elusive. In fact, a great number ...
Spatial and Temporal Control of Quantum Dots for On-Chip Integration.
(2014)
Quantum dots are nanostructures that confine electrons in three spatial dimensions. Due to their discrete atom-like energy levels and localization from the environment, individual quantum dots have the potential to be used ...
Dynamic Processes in Complex Polymeric Systems.
(2014)
In general, the physical properties of polymers intimately depend on the morphology. In this dissertation we investigated the role of morphology on dynamic processes that occur in complex systems possessing appreciably ...
Mesoscopic Simulations of the Polymer and Microfluidics.
(2014)
This thesis focuses on the dynamics and transport of flowing polymers in microfluidic devices. Using different mesoscopic simulation methods, we explore the dynamics of polymers in dilute and non-dilute, but unentangled, ...
Illuminating the Darkness: Using Alternative Parameterizations to Test Dark Energy Properties.
(2014)
In the first half of my dissertation, I study the effects of type Ia supernova (SNIa) systematic errors on dark energy using current data from the Supernova Legacy Survey. I consider how these systematics affect constraints ...
Some Problems in Stochastic Control Theory Related to Inventory Management and Coarsening.
(2014)
In this dissertation, we study two stochastic control problems arising from inventory management and coarsening.
First, we study a stochastic production/inventory system with a finite production capacity and random demand. ...
