Quantitative two-photon redox fluorescence microscopy of neurometabolic dynamics
(2004-12-13)The fluorescence of the intracellular electron donor reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) is a well established probe of cellular metabolic state. This technique, called redox fluorimetry, can be combined with ... -
QUANTITATIVE VISUALIZATION OF CARBON DIOXIDE GAS TRANSFER AT A TURBULENT FREE SURFACE
(2005-06-20)We study the aqueous-phase side of the transfer of carbon dioxide gas across an air-water interface. Quantitative imaging techniques are used to directly visualize the physical processes which determine the average gas ... -
Quantum acoustic control of diamond nitrogen-vacancy centers
(2020-05)Diamond nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers are a promising platform for solid state quantum technologies, owning to their intrinsic long-lived spin coherence, coherent optical orbital transition and efficient coupling to ambient ... -
Quantum Computing for Process Systems Optimization and Data Analytics
(2020-05)Quantum computing (QC) is the next frontier in computation and has attracted a lot of attention from the scientific community in recent years. With the ever-increasing complexity of combinatorial optimization problems ... -
Quantum Degenerate Gases Near A Feshbach Resonance
(2009-10-14)This doctoral dissertation is concerned with the physics of strongly interacting cold alkali atoms at low temperatures near a Feshbach resonance. In Chapter 1, we establish a connection between superfluid 4He and the BCS ... -
The Quantum Hall Problem In Lattices
(2012-08-20)This thesis represents a body of work investigating the physics of strongly interacting quantum particles, confined to a two-dimensional plane in a nontrivial vector potential (such as a transverse magnetic field), commonly ... -
Quantum Mechanical Studies of Nonadiabatic Systems
(2018-05-30)Understanding nonadiabatic processes is tantamount to understanding the mechanisms underlying phenomena such as energy transfer in photovoltaic cells and catalysis at metal surfaces. A complete quantum description of such ... -
Quantum Mediated Effective Interactions For Spatially Complex Systems
(2015-05-24)Magnetic interactions between classical or quantum spin degrees of freedom in a condensed matter system are mediated by particles, which come in two flavors, fermions or bosons. Such a magnetic system can be put on a ... -
Quantum Monte Carlo Developments For Discrete And Continuous Spaces
(2012-05-27)This thesis details four research projects related to zero temperature quantum Monte Carlo. Chapters 2-4 focus on continuum quantum Monte Carlo, and specifically its application to molecular systems; whereas Chapter 5 ... -
Quantum Phase Transitions In Cold Atoms And Low Temperature Solids
(2010-08-05)This thesis describes how to create and probe novel phases of matter and exotic (non-quasiparticle) behavior in cold atomic gases. It focuses on situations whose physics is relevant to condensed matter systems, and where ... -
Quantum-Limited Mechanical Resonator Measurement And Back-Action Cooling To Near The Quantum Ground State
(2011-01-31)For decades, quantum mechanics has been a hugely successful theory for understanding the microscopic world. Despite its seemingly non-physical predictions, such as superposition or cat states, the accuracy of the theory ... -
Quasiparticle Interference And The Impact Of Strong Correlations On High Temperature Superconductivity
(2009-10-13)Spectroscopic imaging - scanning tunneling microscope studies of quasiparticle interference in the high temperature superconductor Bi2 Sr2 CaCu2 O8+sigma as a function hole density and temperature are presented. Its is ... -
Quechua Language Use and Attitudes in Cusco, Peru
(2019-05-30)This thesis investigates use and attitudes of the Quechua language in Cusco, Peru. The author created and administered a 57-item questionnaire to 189 participants at two different institutions with large college-age ... -
QUERIES IN QUERCUS: FROM THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TISSUE CULTURE CLONAL PROPAGATION SYSTEM TO THE EVALUATION OF STRESS TOLERANT HYBRID WHITE OAKS FOR THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT
(2019-05-30)A research program was developed by Miles Schwartz Sax with a focus on researching two key priority areas for the Urban Horticulture Institute (UHI). The first priority area was the creation of a tissue culture system for ... -
A Question Of Faith: Jesuit Missions To The Seneca Iroquois As Viewed Through Archaeological And Textual Records
(2012-01-31)This thesis focuses on Jesuit missions to the Seneca Iroquois, which spanned from 1668-1709. Using museum collections of archaeological artifacts and historical sources, the goal of my research is threefold: to update the ... -
Queueing Systems via Delay Differential Equations
(2020-05)Many service systems use internet or smartphone app technology to notify customers about their expected waiting times or queue lengths via delay announcements, allowing customers to decide which queue to join. However, ... -
Quorum Sensing, Entry Exclusion And Replication Of The Ti Plasmid Of Agrobacterium Tumefaciens
(2011-05-29)Agrobacterium tumefaciens contains the tumor inducing (Ti) plasmid that stimulates tumor formation in wounded plant tissues. Replication, partitioning, conjugation and entry exclusion of this plasmid are under strict ... -
Quotients Of Spheres By Linear Actions Of Abelian Groups
(2013-01-28)We consider quotients of spheres by linear actions of real tori and finite abelian groups. To each quotient we associate a matroid or sequence of matroids. In the case of real tori, we find the integral homology groups of ... -
The Qur’An’S Communal Ideology: Rhetoric And Representation In Scripture And Early Historiography
(2014-05-25)This study of the Qurʾān is grounded in both linguistic and literary approaches, adapted to account for the text's particularities. The crucial underlying assumption of this thesis is that the Qurʾān constitutes a closed ... -
Race Relations In Venezuela And The Black Consciousness Challenge, Through The Lense Of La Red De Organizaciones Afrovenezolanas (The Afro-Venezuelan Network)
(2009-08-19)This thesis investigates race and Black consciousness in the context of Latin America with a focus on Venezuela. The needs of African descendants in Latin American communities are often ignored and disregarded. This lack ...
