Numerical solutions to the Poisson equation in media surrounding multiple arbitrarily shaped bodies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The dissertation describes a general, efficient, and parallelized approach to solving the Poisson equation in the volume surrounding multiple, arbitrarily shaped bodies. Green...
Generation, collection and characterization of nanoparticles and their diffusion in arbitrary tumor and normal tissue geometry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Nanoparticles have unique electronic, optical, mechanical, magnetic and chemical properties that are significantly different from those of the bulk materials. Because of this...
Materials study supporting thermochemical hydrogen cycle sulfuric acid decomposer design
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
A laboratory scale sulfuric acid decomposer simulator was constructed at the Nuclear Science and Engineering Institute at the University of Missouri- Columbia. The simulator was capable of producing the temperatures and corrosive environments...
Inertial electrostatic confinement: theoretical and experimental studies of spherical devices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC) is a means to confine ions for fusion purposes with electrostatic fields in a converging geometry. Its engineering simplicity makes it appealing when compared to magnetic confinement ...
The dissolution rate of unirratiated UO₂ under repository conditions: the influence of fuel and water chemistry, dissolved oxygen, and temperature
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
As part of the performance assessments of proposed geologic repositories the effects of temperature, dissolved O₂, and water and fuel chemistry on the dissolution rates of spent fuel are necessary to provide a quantitative ...
