Fall 2024
This thesis is concerned with the experiments and modelling for the time-dependent behavior of semicrystalline polymers. Relaxation test had long been used to evaluate the performance of materials. In this study, a novel multi-relaxation-recovery test was proposed based on cyclic stages of stress...

Fat Unsaturation Quantification, Including ω-3 Measures, with In-Vivo Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
DownloadSpring 2021
Fat composition is relevant to disease and can be assessed non-invasively using Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS). MRS studies do not usually account for the ω-3 (omega-3) fat content because of its low prevalence in human adipose tissue (≈ 1 %) and because the ω-3 (≈ 1.0 ppm) and non-ω-3 (≈...

Solving the radiative transfer problem in SPH simulations of contact binary mergers using FluxCal
DownloadFall 2019
V1309 Sco was observed in 2008 as a luminous red nova and presents as some of the best time-resolved spectral data of a contact binary merger. However, the parameters of its progenitor and the physics behind the morphology of its light curve remain uncertain. We use the Smoothed Particle...
