Design of Instrumentation and Methodologies for Determination of Free Neutron Characteristics
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2017)Measuring neutron source‐dependent free neutron properties over a large neutron energy range, with human‐portable instrumentation, continues to push the frontier of neutron detection instrumentation design and analysis ... -
Ferroelectric System Dynamics and the Properties of Ferroelectric / Two-Dimensional Electron Gas Heterostructures: a Ginzburg–Landau Study
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2017)Understanding the electronic response of materials to applied electric fields is an outstanding goal in solid-state theory. One aspect of this goal is to accurately predict the electric polarization of certain materials ... -
Mesh Adaptation in Fractured Reservoir Simulation
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)Natural fractures exist in many oil and gas reservoirs. On the other hand, hydraulic fracturing (fracking) is needed to create fractures in some reservoirs to improve the production rate. For example, shale gas reservoirs ... -
Modeling the Effects of Drugs of Abuse on HIV Infections with Two Viral Species
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)Injection drug use is one of the greatest risk factors associated with contracting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and drug abusers infected with HIV suffer from a higher viral load and rapid pathogenesis. Replication ...
