Pulsed ultraviolet laser ablation: Theoretical considerations and applications in medicine
(1990)
Pulsed ultraviolet lasers can be used to induce clean etching in organic and some inorganic materials. This effect is called photoablation or ablative photodecomposition. Although the precise cause remains unknown, this ...
Chemistry of nanoscale carbon materials: Gas-phase purification of single-wall carbon nanotubes, synthesis of nanoscale carbon nitrides, and nanodiamonds in meteorite carbon with related diamond surface chemistry
(2000)
A unique feature of nanoscale carbon materials is the nature of their surfaces and how their surfaces interact with other species. The carbon materials specifically studied here include single-wall carbon nanotubes, nanoscale ...
Thermal energy collisions of potassium(nd) Rydberg atoms with electron-attaching molecules at intermediate n
(1990)
Thermal energy collisions of K(nd) Rydberg atoms with electron attaching molecules which result in reactions of the following types K(nd) + SF$\sb6$ $\to$ K$\sp+$ + SF$\sb6\sp-$ K(nd) + CF$\sb3$I $\to$ K$\sp+$ + I$\sp-$ + ...
Calibrations on semi-Riemannian manifolds
(1989)
This thesis "dualizes" Harvey and Lawson's notion of calibrated geometry on a Riemannian manifold to the semi-Riemannian category. By considering the appropriate spaces (with signature) analogous to the positive definite ...
ERROR ESTIMATES FOR FINITE ELEMENT METHODS APPLIED TO CONTAMINANT TRANSPORT EQUATIONS
(1983)
L('2)(L('2)) error estimates for a continuous time Galerkin approximation to the solution of a system of nonlinear parabolic equations, which model contaminant transport in groundwater, are derived using standard energy ...
CAUCHY PROBLEM FOR NONLINEAR HYPERBOLIC SYSTEMS OF PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
(1983)
Consider the Cauchy problem for the system of nonlinear partial differential equations
(DIAGRAM, TABLE OR GRAPHIC OMITTED...PLEASE SEE DAI)
where x(' )(ELEM)(' )(//R) x (//R)('N), D('m)u = {D('(alpha))u(VBAR) ...
A problem in harmonic continuation in a disk
(1966)
This paper treats the problem of describing the behavior of a function u bounded and harmonic in a disk, when its behavior is known on a portion B of the disk that contains an open set. If /u/ is bounded by one on the ...
Research towards the synthesis of the furanosteroid class of natural products
(2003)
The goal of this research was to explore new routes for the construction of viridin- and xestoquinone-related classes of natural products along with similar non-natural products. The four main targets being addressed are ...
Photophysics of fullerene derivatives
(2000)
A study is presented of the photophysics of a variety of fullerene derivatives, including C60O, C70O, C120, 1,2-C70 H2, Kr C60, and four mono-substituted benzo-adducts of C70. Measured photophysical properties include ...
Testing of the muon port card and related electronics for the CMS endcap muon trigger system
(2004)
This thesis is related to the design of the level one endcap muon trigger system for the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This system is designed to use muon measurements to help ...
