Pulsed laser material interaction with thin indium tin oxide films
(2015-09-30)
The interaction of short and ultrashort laser pulses with very thin films is currently an important area of research for laser material interactions. The interaction between the laser pulse and the thin transparent conductive ...
Star formation in extreme environments
(2015-12-22)
The study of star formation bridges many vastly disparate scales. From the small, nearby, quiescent cores of low mass star formation, to the highly turbulent conditions in which the most massive stars form, to the extreme ...
A morpho-kinematic and spectroscopic study of bipolar planetary nebulae
(2015-09-28)
In this thesis, studies of the kinematic properties for a sample of Galactic bipolar planetary nebulae, based on optical and infrared observations, were performed us- ing a morpho–kinematic code, optical and NIR diagnostic ...
Quantum dots in bio-imaging and drug delivery
(2015-11-23)
This work explores a range of bionanomaterials, with particular attention to their influence on cell growth, function and fate. Also the issue of intracellular nanoparticles quantification has been addressed in experimental ...
OpenFOAM computational fluid dynamics studies on the ocean-atmosphere
(2015-09-05)
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is the use of applied mathematics, physics, and computational software to visualize how a fluid flows around objects. CFD is based on the Navier-Stokes equations, which describe how the ...
Lower-atmosphere upper-ocean interactions: the influences of breaking waves
(2015-10-29)
Wave breaking at the ocean surface is an important process for air-sea
exchange. Whitecaps are visual sea surface signatures of breaking waves.
By measuring the fractional coverage of whitecaps on the sea surface, it ...
Studies of the oxidation efficiency in a coastal environment
(2015-02-06)
The hydroxyl radical, OH, is the key oxidant in the atmosphere as it reacts with
most trace gas species, often being the first and rate limiting step. The
oxidation leads to products that are more easily removed from ...
Physical and bio cellular response of laser induced periodic surface structures formed using a femtosecond laser on a platinum alloy
(2015-09-30)
Minimally invasive implantable medical devices represent a major advance in the treatment of obstructive coronary artery disease with stent implantation becoming the standard coronary angioplasty procedure. Such devices ...
