Properties of adsorbed hydrogen and methane films on nanoporous solids
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
The environmental impacts and costs of fossil fuels necessitate the development of clean, renewable fuel sources for vehicular applications. Hydrogen based systems, with water as their byproduct, have zero carbon emissions, ...
Cellular aggregates under pressure
(American Physical Society, 2010)
Researchers develop a new approach to measuring the viscoelastic properties of multicellular aggregates by using a micropipette aspiration technique.
A study of cosmic dust in the galactic environment
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
The mysterious "21 micron" emission feature seen almost exclusively in the short-lived protoplanetary nebula (PPN) phase of stellar evolution remains unidentified since its discovery two decades ago. This feature is always ...
Collective charge- and spin-density excitations in semiconductor quantum wells
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Quasi-two-dimensional (2D) systems, such as an electron gas confined in a quantum well, are important model systems for many-body theories, and we are interested in studying collective excitations in such systems using a ...
X-Ray and Radio Interactions in the Cores of Cooling Flow Clusters
(American Astronomical Society, 2000)
We present high-resolution ROSAT X-ray and radio observations of three cooling Ñow clusters containing steep-spectrum radio sources at their cores. All three systems exhibit strong signs of interaction
between the radio ...
Airy beam for three-dimensional optical imaging /
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Airy beam is a self-sustained light beam that propagates in free space along a parabolic trajectory with a constant lateral acceleration. It is a ...
The Nature and Origin of Molecular Knots in Planetary Nebulae
(American Institute of Physics, 2005)
Planetary Nebulae (PNe) are major contributors to the enrichment of the interstellar medium (ISM). Knots and filaments in the ionized gas images of PNe are common, if not ubiquitous. Additionally, it has been shown that ...

Tidal acceleration of ultrarelativistic particles
(EDP Sciences, 2005)
We investigate the motion of free relativistic particles relative to the ambient medium around a gravitationally
collapsed system. If the relative speed exceeds a critical value given by c/√2, the gravitational tidal ...
Tidal dynamics in Kerr spacetime
(Institute of Physics, 2006)
The motion of free nearby test particles relative to a stable equatorial circular
geodesic orbit about a Kerr source is investigated. It is shown that the nonlinear
generalized Jacobi equation can be transformed in this ...
Analysis of the center of mass-, rotational- and intramolecular diffusive motions in a monolayer film of intermediate-length alkane molecules adsorbed on a solid surface
(American Institute of Physics, 2004)
The intramolecular diffusive motions associated with the creation and annihilation of gauche defects in intermediate-length alkane molecules adsorbed on a solid surface are relatively slow and on a time scale of nanoseconds. ...
Ultrarelativistic motion: inertial and tidal effects in Fermi coordinates
(Institute of Physics, 2004)
Fermi coordinates are the natural generalization of inertial Cartesian
coordinates to accelerated systems and gravitational fields. We study themotion
of ultrarelativistic particles and light rays in Fermi coordinates ...
Sub-Microarcsecond Astrometry and New Horizons in Relativistic Gravitational Physics
(arXiv, 2000)
Attaining the limit of sub-microarcsecond optical resolution will completely revolutionize fundamental astrometry by merging it with relativistic gravitational physics. Beyond the sub-microarcsecond threshold, one will meet in the sky a new...

Units of relativistic time scales and associated quantities
(arXiv, 2010)
these quantities should be used with out any adjectives. This suggestion comes from a special discussion forum created within IAU Commission 52 "Relativity in Fundamental Astronomy"....
Astrometric Effects of Secular Aberration
(arXiv, 2005)
One of the main endeavors of fundamental astrometry is to establish a practical realization of an inertial reference frame anchored to celestial objects whose positions are defined in the barycentric coordinates of the ...
Dynamics of Relativistic Flows
(arXiv, 2004)
Dynamics of relativistic outflows along the rotation axis of a Kerr black hole is investigated using a simple model that takes into account the relativistic tidal force of the central source as well as the Lorentz force ...
Kronig-Penney model with the tail-cancellation method
(American Association of Physics Teachers, 2001)
The Kronig-Penney model of an electron moving in a periodic potential is solved by the so-called tail-cancellation method. The problem also serves as a simple illustration of the tail-cancellation method itself.
