Properties of low-dimensional systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In this work we study the equilibrium properties of systems in two-dimensions, and the effects that discrete symmetry, space dimensionality, character of the interaction...
Exploring star formation in high-mass galaxies in the low-z universe
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
We present a quantitative analysis of high-mass, low-z galaxies in order to investigate the 'downsizing' scenario of galaxy evolution. High-mass, low-z galaxies with ongoing star formation, antithetical to the 'downsizing' ...
Bridging biochemical activities with conformational dynamics observed in atomic force microscopy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
This dissertation was written with the intention to provide future investigators with general information sufficient to start their own investigations in biological atomic force microscopy. It is noted that background ...
Percolative effects in quantum critical systems : how magnetic clusters shape the response at low temperatures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
We have investigated the link between cluster morphology and non-Fermi liquid behavior in the bulk properties of Ce(Ru1-xFex)2Ge2, a prototypical quantum critical system that has been driven to criticality through chemical ...
Applications of model systems to explore exchange-correlation effects in density-functional theory
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Density-functional theory (DFT), in its various forms, has become a near ubiquitous form of theoretical research used to benchmark and prototype solutions to many finite and extended state system. This is largely because ...
Predicting the structure and energetics of protein-ligand interaction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Molecular docking has been a crucial component and remains a highly active area in computer-aided drug design (CADD). In simple terms, molecular docking uses computer algorithms to identify the "best" match between two ...
