Astronomy was a culturally prominent practice during the nineteenth century in Britain. In this thesis I examine the development of astronomy in one area, Wales. Astronomy became an important subject in the lecturing industry that emerged during the century as lecturers promoted astronomical...

Neutron stars provide the key to understanding the equation of state at the highest pressure and density. Constraining the mass-radius relation of neu- tron stars will provide opportunities to test the currently conflicting candidates for the equation of state. Next generation instruments, such...

Connecting galactic to local scales in the neutral interstellar medium across the Local Group
DownloadFall 2020
Star formation drives secular galaxy evolution by linking stars and gas in galaxies. This link forms part of the "baryonic cycle," where stars form from interstellar gas, and a portion of that gas is returned to the interstellar medium upon the star’s death. Understanding the baryonic cycle and...

Development and Evaluation of Model-Based Adaptive Signal Control for Congested Arterial Traffic
DownloadFall 2015
Under congested conditions, the road traffic states of different arterial links will interact with each other; therefore, it is necessary to understand the behavior of traffic corridors and to investigate corridor-wide traffic coordinated control strategies. In order to achieve this, traffic flow...

The equation of state for cold ultra-dense matter has puzzled astrophysicists for decades. This is because the conditions of supra-nuclear density matter, such as those in neutron stars, are not terrestrially replicable. X-ray light curves from accreting neutron stars have proven to be useful...
