Multi-Wavelength Analysis of 13 Unknown Galactic Fermi Gamma-Ray Sources
(2022-05)The latest data release from the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope (the Fourth Fermi LAT Catalog) has more than 50% of the detected galactic sources yet to be identified. In an attempt to uncover the nature of some of these ... -

Analysis and determination of chemical mechanical planarization mechanisms for tungsten and copper
(2000-08)No abstract prepared. -
Orbital mechanics predictions of rare planetary alignments and their tidal effects
(2000-08)Planetary and lunar positions may be calculated using the Variations Séculaires des Orbites Planétaires algorithm of P. Bretagnon (VSOP87) and the Éphémérides Lunaires Parisiennes method of M. Chapront-Touzé ... -
Period analysis of the eclipsing binary U Pegasi
(1999-04)Observations of the W Ursae Majoris type binary U Pegasi were taken over 5 nights in October/November 1995. Numerical techniques were used to generate a period and an epoch of primary minimum. The method and results are ... -
The Magnetic Characterization of Permalloy and Permalloy Oxide grown by RF Magnetron Sputtering
(2019-12)This thesis describes the results on my thesis research. I investigated properties of Permalloy and Permalloy oxide thin films with Xray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Xray diffractometry (XRD) and vibrating sample ...

A Study of Protoplanetary Disk Evolution in Infrared CO
(2021-08)The inner radii (< 10 AU) of protoplanetary disks (PPDs) are the birthplaces of exoplanets. Understanding what happens at these planet-forming distances requires the knowledge of inner gaseous disk evolution. Carbon monoxide ... -
Numerical Simulation of High Velocity Stars
(2021-08)The origins of high velocity runaway stars have been of interest since their discovery. To shed some light on this important problem in modern astrophysics, we use rapid binary stellar evolution code. We have simulated ... -
Electric Field-Induced Isomerization of Azobenzene containing mixed Self-Assembled Monolayers by Atomic Force Microscopy
(2021-08)Azobenzene is the organic compound that undergoes a reversible transformation from the thermodynamically stable trans (E) to cis (Z) form via light, external electric field, and heat. Due to this property of Azobenzene can ... -
Automatic Alignment Methods for VSM Using Magnetic Samples with Reduced Time and Higher Precision
(2021-05)Vibrating Sample Magnetometers (VSM) are used to measure the magnetic properties of ferro or ferrimagnetic materials. They have a wide range of users in both industry and in universities. Currently VSMs require a manual ... -
Collaborative mechanistic reasoning: A proposed mechanism for learning in interactive instruction
(2021-05)A large body of research supports the positive impact of interactive instruction on student learning. The mechanism for this increased student learning, however, is less well understood. We propose collaborative mechanistic ... -
Investigations into non-conventional materials for high-K dielectrics and the unique production of permalloy oxides for GMR devices
(2002-05)No abstract prepared. -
Investigation of thin film cobalt silicide formation on thermal oxide barrier layers
(2004-08)No abstract prepared. -
The electronic structure properties of monolayer transition metal cyanides
(2010-08)No abstract prepared. -
Classification of Extragalactic X-ray Sources Using Machine Learning Method
(2019-08)Only a small fraction of extragalactic X-ray sources have reliable classifications. Although a large amount of X-ray data exists in the archives, the X-ray data alone are not enough to reveal the nature of the X-ray ... -
Evaluation and simulation of NEMS cantilever relays
(2010-08)Electrostatically-actuated NEMS cantilevers were fabricated for testing as a potential replacement for nanoscale circuit components in power-critical applications such as spacecraft. These cantilevers are manipulated and ... -
Sputter coating atomic force microscope cantilevers for various research applications
(2000-12)The atomic force microscope is used in a variety of ways to examine the atomic-scale physical properties of materials. We have used our AFM for capacitance imaging and chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) modeling. ...
