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 ...
Development of a Probabilistic Multi-Zone Multi-Source Computational Model for Indoor Air Pollution Exposure Assessment
(2014-02-12)
Airborne Particulate Matter (PM) is a major environmental concern because of its known impacts on human health, and since the developed world population spends approximately 89% of its time indoors, PM in the indoor ...
Development of a high-resolution gamma-ray imaging system with synthetic collimation.
(2013-11-01)
This work outlines the development of a multi-pinhole single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) system designed to produce a synthetic-collimator image of a small field of view. The synthetic-collimator image was ...
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 ...
New Particle Formation in Marine Air
(2012-11-28)
Marine aerosols contribute significantly to global climate directly by absorbing or scattering solar radiation, as well as indirectly by altering the reflectance and persistence of clouds. This work presents results of ...
Spatio-Temporal Visual Response for Ocular Correction of Higher-Order Aberrations
(2013-04-24)
With the development of control aberration using adaptive optics (AO), particular
emphasis has been given recently to the impact of higher-order aberrations (HOAs)
on visual performance, with a view to improved refractive ...
Ultrashort pulse laser scribing of thin flexible glass
(2016-02-04)
Laser scribing of thin glass has proven problematic due to inefficient optical absorption and difficulty achieving economical processing speeds while maintaining edge quality. Laser processing of glass is pertinent to touch ...
Computational development of a particle-In-cell computer code for the simulation of plasma Instabilities around rotation powered pulsars
(2014-09-03)
This thesis reports on the design and development of DYMPHNA3D, a 3D particle-in-cell (PIC) plasma simulation code. It also focuses on the field of radio emission and the discovery of rotation powered neutron stars, ...
A Monte Carlo Investigation in External Beam Radiotherapy
(2011-09-30)
Monte Carlo techniques have been shown to be the most accurate method of
modelling radiation transport and dose deposition. With increasingly complex
radiotherapy techniques being employed in the continuing fight against ...
High Resolution Flood Illumination Retinal Imaging System with Adaptive Optics
(2012-07-16)
Retinal imaging has its advantages both in the research laboratory and medical applications. Acquiring high resolution in-vivo images of the retina requires some form of correction for aberrations. To address that, the ...
