Effects Of Temperature Gradients On Transverse Oscillations Of Solar Magnetic Flux Tubes
(Physics, 2007-08-23)
Solar magnetic flux tubes support three fundamental modes: longitudinal, transverse and torsional tube waves. Previous studies showed that the propagation of longitudinal and transverse waves along thin and isothermal ...
A Study Of Ejection Times Of Terrestrial Planets From The Habitable Zones Of The Solar Twins Hd 20782 And Hd 188015
(Physics, 2009-09-16)
We provide a detailed statistical study of the ejection of Earth-mass planets from the habitable zones of the solar twins HD 20782 and HD 188015. These systems possess a giant planet that crosses into the stellar habitable ...
Plasmonic Nanostructures: Fabrication And Optical Characterization
(Physics, 2008-09-17)
Resonant light localization by metal nanostructures has potential for applications in cavity quantum electrodynamics (e.g. single-photon sources, quantum gates etc) and nonlinear optics.
In this thesis we present the ...
Semi-empirical Studies Of Solar Supergranulation And Related Phenomena
(Physics, 2008-09-17)
In recent years, solar observations have moved from ground-based
telescopes to observatories on Earth orbiting satellites, such as
SOHO. They provide us with a clear and uninterrupted view of the
solar disk. One instrument ...
A Search For The Higgs Boson In Its Associated Production With A W Vector Boson in p¯p Collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV
(Physics, 2008-04-22)
We present the results of a search for the Standard Model Higgs boson in its associated
production with a W vector boson in p¯p collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV using the complete Run
IIA dataset with an integrated luminosity ...
Silicon Carbide Nanotubes: Promises Beyond Carbon Nanotubes
(Physics, 2008-09-17)
First-principles calculations for the electronic and geometric structures of three different types of armchair and zigzag silicon carbide nanotubes from (3, 3) to (11, 11) and (3, 0) to (11, 0) have been performed using ...
Moment Calculations For Low Energy Ions In Jupiter's Magnetotail From Nasa's New Horizons Mission
(Physics, 2009-09-16)
Jupiter's magnetosphere and magnetotail is the largest cohesive structure in our solar system which extends to the orbit of Saturn. One of NASA's objectives is to understand how universal bodies interact with its surroundings. ...
Fundamental Dynamical Equations For Two And Four-component Spinors In Galilean And Minkowski Space-time
(Physics, 2011-07-14)
A search for new fundamental (Galilean and Poincaré invariant) dynamical equations for free elementary particles represented by spinor state functions is conducted in Galilean and Minkowski space-time. A dynamical ...
Can Silicon Carbide Nanotubes Be Effective Storage Medium For Hydrogen Storage?
(Physics, 2009-09-16)
A systematic study of molecular hydrogen adsorption on three different atomic configurations of armchair SICNTs has been performed. In the first stage of our study, first principles calculations using both density functional ...
Measurement Of Single Diffractive Differential Cross Section (dσ/(d|t|)) At √(s ) = 1.96 TeV Using The D0 Forward Proton Detectors
(Physics, 2011-10-11)
The analysis described in this dissertation uses the Forward Proton Detectors (FPD) installed at the D0 detector in the Tevatron collider at Fermilab to measure the single diffractive differential cross section (d&sigma/(d|t|)) ...
