Terahertz imaging and spectroscopy of carbon-based and semiconductor nanostructures

Creator:

Tomaino, Joseph L.

Abstract:

This thesis will cover work that I have completed relating to the field of terahertz (THz) science. My work has consisted of generating tunable, narrowband THz pulses in a table-top optical setup and using both narrow- and broadband THz pulses to study various material systems. Broadband THz pulses were used...

Role of IL-8 and TIMP-2 on term canine trophoblast migration, invasion, and proliferation

Creator:

Gullaba, Justine Marie

Abstract:

Placental pathologies are not uncommon in dogs. For example, in primiparous bitches, the reported incidence of subinvolution of placental sites is 21% - 100%. Despite years of research in multiple species, the mechanisms regulating late gestation trophoblast behavior in the dog remain unexamined. Therefore, the objective of this study was...

The nonlinear optical properties of gallium arsenide pertaining to terahertz generation

Creator:

Hurlbut, Walter C.

Abstract:

Gallium arsenide shows excellent promise for terahertz generation using mid infrared. This is for two reasons. First, the indices of refraction for the terahertz (nTHz=3.61 at 1 THz) and mid infrared (nopt=3.431 at 2 μm) are close allowing a long interaction length. Second, the linear absorption is low at terahertz...

Ecological Forestry : A Critical Analysis

Creator:

Batavia, Chelsea

Abstract:

Although science is widely accepted as a fundamental source of information underlying decisions about forest management and conservation, considerably less attention has been paid to the inevitable role that normative values and beliefs play in such decisions. This thesis highlights the normative dimensions of "ecological forestry," a strategy of forest...
