Studies of large volcanoes on the terrestrial planets : implications for stress state, tectonics, structural evolutions, and moat filling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
Studies of laser interferometer design and a vibration isolation system for interferometric gravitational wave detectors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
Studies of lateral dispersion in the ocean
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)This thesis is written in two parts. The first part deals with the problem of lateral dispersion due to mesoscale eddies in the open ocean, and the interaction between the mesoscale strain and horizontal diffusion on spatial ... -
Studies of liquid-liquid phase transition and critical phenomena in supercooled confined water by neutron scattering
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) is used to measure the density of water contained in 1-D cylindrical pores of a mesoporous silica material MCM-41-S. By being able to suppress the homogenous nucleation process inside ... -
Studies of metaphosphate acids and metaphosphate anhydrides in aprotic media
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)The chemistry of metaphosphate acids has historically been studied in aqueous media, where acid-catalyzed hydrolysis and solvent leveling effects of these strong acids have prevented their observations and rigorous ... -
Studies of non-diffusive heat conduction through spatially periodic and time-harmonic thermal excitations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Studies of non-diffusive heat conduction provide insight into the fundamentals of heat transport in condensed matter. The mean free paths (MFPs) of phonons that are most important for conducting heat are well represented ... -
Studies of non-hydrodynamic processes in ICF implosions on OMEGA and the National Ignition Facility
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Ion kinetic effects are expected to modify plasma dynamics when ion mean-free-paths and collision times become comparable to the scale sizes of the plasma. Such conditions arise during the shock convergence phase of inertial ... -
Studies of novel 140 GHz gyrotrons
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997) -
Studies of nucleon-gold collisions at 200 GeV per nucleon pair using tagged d+Au interactions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The spectra of charged hadrons produced near mid-rapidity in d+Au, p+Au and n+Au collisions at - = 200 GeV are presented as a function of transverse momentum and centrality. These measurements were performed using the ... -
Studies of optimal track-fitting techniques for the DarkLight experiment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)The DarkLight experiment is searching for a dark force carrier, the A' boson, and hopes to measure its mass with a resolution of approximately 1 MeV/c 2 . This mass calculation requires precise reconstruction to turn data, ... -
Studies of plasma potential measurements using an ion-sensistive probe
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The plasma potential of the scrape-off-layer (SOL) in the tokamak is a key indicator of the erosion rate of the plasma facing component (PFC) material. The Alcator C-Mod SOL plasma potential is currently measured by emissive ... -
Studies of plume condensation contamination upon surfaces of the Terrestrial Planet Finder spacecraft
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)There are two competing concepts for the Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF) mission, one which involves a single spacecraft, and another comprised of a five craft formation. In addition, there are several propulsion options ... -
Studies of point defect control in liquid-encapsulated czochralski growth of GaAs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1987) -
Studies of police radar
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1981) -
Studies of programmed cell death in the nematode caenorhabditis elegans
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Programmed cell death is an evolutionarily conserved process that plays critical roles in normal animal development and has been extensively studied in C. elegans. During programmed cell death, caspases are activated in ... -
Studies of random walks on groups and random graphs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1992) -
Studies of real-time multiband adaptive gain hearing aids
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1992) -
Studies of simulated Brillouin scattering in optical fibers and applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
Studies of strong-field gravity : testing the black hole hypothesis and investigating spin-curvature coupling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Observations of gravitational systems agree well with the predictions of general relativity (GR); however, to date we have only tested gravity in the weak-field limit. In the next few years, observational advances may make ... -
Studies of structure and dynamics of biological macro-molecular assemblies by low angle neutron diffraction and inelastic X-ray scattering
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)This thesis is organized into two parts which focus on the studies of the dynamic structure factor and static inter-particle structure factor respectively. In the first part, we have measured and analyzed the dynamic ...
