The stellar feedback is a crucial ingredient for modeling galaxy formation, especially for the first galaxies, which are susceptible to stellar feedback due to their shallow potential wells. In this thesis I have investigated ...

We demonstrate stable arsenic-silicon-oxide film formation during plasma doping of arsenic into non-planar silicon surfaces through investigation of the nature and stability of the ternary oxide using first principles ...

At the height of their professional careers, Major League Baseball (MLB) players are considered the best in the world at their sport. For these men, athletic identity is the dominating force in their lives, yet all MLB ...

The four poets in this dissertation--Hester Pulter, Anne Bradstreet, Thomas Hardy, and Robert Frost--write poems that resist domestic confinement. In these poems, houses become prisons from which the poet must enact an ...

The authors present the formulation of the current filament model and show how the method was applied to the diffusion problems in railguns and homopolar generators (HPGs). Some computational results are included. The ...

Developments in high throughput screening and combinatorial chemistry have contributed to the unprecedented success of the pharmaceutical industry over the last twenty years, leading to a multitude of blockbuster compounds ...

This report is the documentation for a stiffness formulation to perform rigid diaphragm analysis for wood structures subjected to wind loads. Traditionally, rigid diaphragm analysis has been performed using a vaguely-defined ...

Increasing safety and automation in transportation systems has led to the proliferation of radar and IEEE 802.11 dedicated short range communication (DSRC) in vehicles. Current implementations of vehicular radar devices, ...
