This thesis deals with applications of uniaxial anisotropic crystals for microcavity resonators with partially chaotic underlying ray dynamics. We develop an implementation of the scattering matrix formalism, and relate the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the scattering matrix to the field distribution of inside the system. Using the developed technique, we...
Within The Lamplighter, a novel written in 1854, Maria
Susanna Cummins defines a version of the sentimental novel
that significantly differs from the prescriptive analysis
male critics have offered for the genre. This thesis
argues that feminist theory and recent rhetorical theory
have caused a critical paradigm shift that has...
The two sulfur isotopomers of sulfur trioxide, ³²S¹⁶O₃ and ³⁴S¹⁶O₃, have been studied via high resolution infrared and Coherent anti-Stokes Raman (CARS) spectroscopy. The v₁ symmetric SO stretching Q-branches observed by the latter are quite different, being especially complex for ³²S¹⁶O₃ Understanding this band structure required analysis of infrared-active hot...
I conducted 14-22 waterbird and raptor censuses each year from 1992-1995 during late April or early May through October. I observed 44 waterbird and 13 raptor species, including hatch year individuals of seven waterbird species. The records for each census are given.
L. C. Dunn (1893-1974) spent most of his scientific career conducting research in
developmental genetics as a member of the Zoology Department at Columbia
University in the City of New York. He had an accomplished scientific career
researching mutations in mice, which earned him respect from other geneticists and
scientists....
Dedicated to the preservation and promotion of many of the nation’s most threatened and endangered species, the W.L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge is highly invested in the management of some of the last remaining upland prairies once prevalent throughout Oregon's Willamette Valley. More than a century of land fragmentation, fire...
