A DETAILED CHANDRA X-RAY STUDY OF THE GALACTIC CORE-COLLAPSE SUPERNOVA REMNANT G292.0+1.8
(2018-09-10)
In this thesis, we describe our detailed analysis of the core-collapse supernova remnant (CCSNR) G292.0+1.8 (G292 hereafter) using data collected by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory (Chandra). In the first part of this ...
PROSPECTS FOR OBSERVING DYNAMICALLY FORMED BINARY BLACK HOLES IN THE LOCAL UNIVERSE WITH GRAVITATIONAL WAVES
(2018-06-07)
The dynamical evolution of globular clusters is expected to produce stellar-mass binary black holes with higher total mass than found in the field population of binary black holes. Such systems are identified as gravitational ...
A STUDY OF THE GEOSPACE RESPONSE TO DYNAMIC SOLAR WIND USING THE LYON-FEDDER-MOBARRY GLOBAL MHD SIMULATION
(2018-05-14)
As the wind from the Sun advances towards Earth, it interacts with Earth’s magnetic field. This solar wind carries with it a magnetic field, called the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). Energy and momentum are transferred ...
FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE STUDENT PERFORMANCE IN PHYSICS
(2018-04-12)
This study is composed of several projects in the field of physics education research. First, Investigations into flipped physics classrooms at the senior and graduate level show that students uniformly agree that the ...
THE RESPONSE OF IONOSPHERE AND THERMOSPHERE TO THE HIGH LATITUDE ENERGY DEPOSITION
(2018-12-10)
The ionosphere and thermosphere are the important regions in the Earth upper atmosphere. They represent the ionized and neutral particles, respectively. The main external energy sources in those regions are solar radiation ...
SCATTER CORRECTION AND 4D RECONSTRUCTION OF CONE BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CBCT) WITH A MOVING BLOCKER
(2018-08-08)
Come-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is being widely used as an image guidance tool in radiation therapy nowadays. The quality of CBCT image is important to localize and delineate the tumor and to define relevant volumes ...
