• General relativistic theory of light propagation in the field of gravitational multipoles 

    Korobkov, Pavel, 1978- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
    We consider propagation of electromagnetic signals through the time-dependent gravitational field of an isolated astronomical system emitting gravitational waves. The system is assumed to possess multipole moments of ...
  • The interplay of physical and molecular determinants in limb and cardiac cushion morphogenesis 

    Damon, Brooke James, 1974- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
    In an effort to investigate the interplay between molecular determinants and biomechanical properties during early embryonic development we have investigated two separate but similar morphogenetic processes: limb morphogenesis ...
  • Multiscale modeling of biomolecular systems 

    Janosi, Lorant, 1979- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
    Studies of structure-function relationships in biomolecular systems require to follow nanometersize systems on time scales spanning from pico- to micro-seconds, while maintaining atomic scale spatial resolution in all-atom ...
  • Nonlinear intersubband dynamics in semiconductor nanostructures 

    Wijewardane, Harshani Ovamini, 1971- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
    The intersubband (ISB) dynamics of conduction electrons in semiconductor quantum wells exhibits a variety of interesting and potentially useful nonlinear phenomena. In this work we present three different formalisms which ...
  • Raman scattering studies and charge transport in polyfluorenes 

    Arif, Mohammad, 1974- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
    Blue-emitting polyfluorenes (PFs) have emerged as especially attractive [pi] conjugated polymers (CP) due to their strong blue emission and excellent electronic properties and thus great prospects for device applications. ...
  • Spin angular momentum transfer in magnetic nanostructure 

    Yang, Zhaoyang, 1980- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
    Spin angular momentum transfer, or spin transfer, is a short notion of the transfer of spin angular momentum between the spin polarized current and the magnetization of ferromagnetic condensates. Spin transfer effect in ...
