Spring 2018
Lake and sea ice and their snow covers are major components of Earthâs cryosphere and act to strongly modify climatic and biological systems. Both ice types serve as an important habitat for micro-fauna and support macro-fauna and strongly modify the exchange of energy, gases, and momentum...

Chronic Fatigue Mechanisms in Autoimmune Diseases: Lessons from Primary Biliary Cholangitis and Systemic Sclerosis
DownloadFall 2023
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease affecting the body's connective tissues, resulting in progressive fibrosis and vasculopathy. In some cases, individuals with SSc may also develop primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), another autoimmune disease characterized by damage to their...

Development of High Power Yb:YAG Laser for Amplifying Orbital Angular Momentum Modes and Pumping Optical Parametric Chirped Pulse Amplifiers
DownloadFall 2018
The applications of ultra-high power laser systems are generating growing interest in a wide variety of scientific fields. They can be used to simulate astrophysical processes and accelerate electrons and protons to MeV energies and generate KeV to MeV x-rays. Such sources can be used for taking...

Development of Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry Methods for the Identification and Quantification of Acylcarnitines in Biological Samples
DownloadFall 2012
The field of metabolomics follows the Greek premise where metabolic changes are believed to be indicative of disease. Acylcarnitines, for example, can be dysregulated in the presence of various diseases including genetic metabolic disorders and multiple sclerosis. Liquid chromatography mass...

Electrocoalescence of Water Droplets in Oil Emulsions: Effect of Electric Fields, Surfactants, and Chemical Demulsifiers
DownloadSpring 2019
Stabilization of water-in-oil droplets during bitumen extraction and refining process poses a major challenge in the oil sands industry. These crude oil emulsions are stabilized by rigid films at water droplet-oil interfaces. The salty water remaining in oil causes equipment corrosion, catalyst...

Spring 2023
High Harmonic Generation (HHG) is a convenient method of producing coherent extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation and is typically produced by focusing a laser onto a gas jet. The total intensity of XUV generated in this method is limited by the ionization threshold of the gas and absorption of XUV...

Laser plasma interactions with high intensity laser pulses can produce extremely high magnetic fields in the MG range. In particular, the application of circularly polarized or orbital angular mode (OAM) laser beams can be used to generate such large fields using the Inverse Faraday Effect (IFE)....
