Through the McDonald Observatory M Dwarf Planet Search, we have acquired nearly 3000 high-resolution spectra of 93 late-type (K5-M5) stars over more than a decade using the High Resolution Spectrograph on the Hobby-Eberly ...

The relative alignments of mid-infrared traced Galactic bubbles are compared to the orientation of the mean Galactic magnetic field in the disk. The orientations of bubbles in the northern Galactic plane were measured and ...

In this project, I argue that David Foster Wallace's 1996 novel Infinite jest (or IJ) is both about recovering from addiction through humility, and also it produces that humility in some of its readers by making us feel ...

The Center has released a report, coauthored by Center Director Melinda Taylor and Professor Holly Doremus of the University of California, Berkeley’s Center for Law, Energy and the Environment, that makes policy recommendations ...

When the lead smelting plant Metal Huasi closed in the late 1980s, it left 60,000 tons of heavy metal waste deposited throughout Abra Pampa, Argentina, a town in the Northwestern province of Jujuy. Much of this waste, ...

This document is a work regarding Hadron phenomenology and contains two major components. The first part of this work is a presentation of a field theoretical model describing gluon interactions with color neutral ...

As metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) gate lengths scale down below 45 nm, the gate oxide thickness approaches 1 nm equivalent oxide thickness. At this thickness, conventional silicon dioxide (SiO2) ...
