Ablation Dynamics and Instabilities of Metallic Plasmas Generated Using Mega-Ampere-Scale Current Drivers.
(2011)
This dissertation represents an experimental investigation quantifying the degree of azimuthal correlation between ablating wire cores in wire array Z-pinch loads, as well as a theoretical and experimental investigation ...
Investigations into the Optically Stimulated Luminescence Response of Various Materials.
(2011)
Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dosimetry involves the illumination of an irradiated sample of an appropriate material to produce a stimulated emission of light whose intensity is indicative of the radiation dose. ...
Hsp70 chaperone Proteins and their Interactions with Various Drugs as Studied by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.
(2011)
Chaperone proteins and their cochaperones are perhaps one of the most intriguing systems for investigation. Ubiquitous in nature, they can be found in every organism and that perhaps is the reason that their sequence shows ...
Anisotropic Diffusion of Neutral Particles in Stochastic Media.
(2009)
This work introduces a new homogenization theory for the transport of particles in stochastic media. This theory utilizes a nonclassical form of the Boltzmann equation in which the locations of the scattering centers in ...
Laser Fabrication of High-K Dielectrics for High Current Cathodes.
(2008)
Triple point, defined as the junction of metal, dielectric, and vacuum, is the location where electron emission is favored in the presence of a sufficiently strong electric field. Recent work at the University of Michigan ...
