Neutron scattering investigations on the unusual phase behavior of water

Zhang, Yang, Ph. D. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Science and Engineering (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)

Water is the most ubiquitous substance on earth, and is essential to sustain all known forms of life. However, despite centuries of research, a coherent picture of the unusual phase behavior of water is so far lacking. The ...

Radio frequency gradient high resolutions nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Zhang, Yang, 1964- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996)

ICEDB : intermittently-connected continuous query processing

Zhang, Yang, S.M. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)

Several emerging wireless sensor network applications must cope with a combination of node mobility (e.g., sensors on moving cars) and high data rates (media-rich sensors capturing videos, images, sounds, etc.). Due to ...

Nonlinear equilibration of baroclinic eddies : the role of boundary layer processes and seasonal forcing

Zhang, Yang, Ph. D. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)

In this thesis, the influence of boundary layer processes and seasonal forcing on baroclinic eddy equilibration is studied to understand how the baroclinic adjustment is modified when taking into account these two factors. ...

Modeling of the effects of wave-induced fluid motion on seismic velocity and attenuation in porous rocks

Zhang, Yang, Ph. D. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)

In this thesis, we use the X-ray CT images of Berea sandstones to carry out the numerical study of the effects of wave-induced fluid motion on seismic velocity and attenuation in porous rocks. In numerical modeling, it is ...
