  • The one-child policy and the empowerment of Chinese women

    Creator:
    Li, Yi
    Abstract:
    When people talk about the one-child policy in China, it always relates to topics like human rights violations or the population control dilemma. The one-child policy was published in the 1980s, around the same time as the Economic Reform, and these twin policies brought Chinese society tremendous changes. This paper...

  • Analysis of Surface Heat Flux Anomalies to Understand Recent Northeast Pacific Marine Heatwave Events

    Creator:
    Yi-Wei, Chen
    Abstract:
    Several large-scale marine heatwave events occurred during the last 10 years in the North Pacific. A particular extreme marine heatwave in the North Pacific called the blob created an unprecedented high peak of sea surface temperature (SST) during 2013/14. MHW events had significant impacts on downstream weather and precipitation patterns...

  • Zero Kinetic Energy Photoelectron Spectroscopy of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

    Creator:
    Harthcock, Colin
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, I describe spectroscopic studies of jet-cooled polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and one nitrogen substituted PAH (PANH) using pulsed field zero kinetic energy (ZEKE) photoelectron spectroscopy and resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) spectroscopy. Recently, there has been a demand for far-infrared (FIR) spectral information of astrophysically relevant molecules...

  • The role of innate immunity in cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis

    Creator:
    Poole, Angela Z.
    Abstract:
    Cnidarians, such as corals and sea anemones serve as hosts to a variety of organisms including symbiotic dinoflagellates, bacteria, virus, and apicomplexans. As corals are vital to the health and productivity of the reef ecosystem it is important to understand how these organisms interact with each component of the holobiont....

  • Electron Diffraction of Neutral and Cationic Clusters Doped into Superfluid Helium Droplets

    Creator:
    Lei, Lei
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, I describe the experimental investigation of electron diffraction of neutral and ionic clusters doped into superfluid helium droplets. The project is aimed at contributing to the development of an overall approach called ‘serial single molecule electron diffraction imaging (ss-EDI), a potential approach to solve macromolecule structures bypassing...

  • Coulomb Explosion in Moderately Intense Nanosecond Laser Fields

    Creator:
    Yao, Yuzhong
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, I present experimental observations of multiply charged atomic ions (MCAI) generated from interactions of atomic/molecular clusters with moderately intense nanosecond laser pulses. This process is also known as Coulomb explosion (CE) and it has been extensively studied in intense laser fields using ultrashort pulses. Several prevailing theories...

  • Zero kinetic energy photoelectron spectroscopy of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

    Creator:
    Zhang, Jie
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, I present electronic spectra of a few polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs): tetracene, pentacene, pyrene, benzo[g,h,i]perylene and benzo[a]pyrene using resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) and zero kinetic energy (ZEKE) photoelectron spectroscopy. The work of tetracene and pentacene also combine a laser desorption source with a ZEKE spectrometer, demonstrating...

  • Polarization spectroscopy and photodissociation studies of nitroaromatic compounds in the gas phase

    Creator:
    Abbott, James E.
    Abstract:
    The central purpose of this dissertation was to explore and expand the use of an uniform electric field for orientation and for subsequent spectroscopic investigation of asymmetric polar molecules in the gas phase. The systems of study were nitrobenzene (NB) and the nitrotoluene (NT) isomers. We were able to quantitatively...

  • Threshold ionization spectroscopy of metal clusters and metal-ligand complexes

    Creator:
    Peng, Xianzhao
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, we describe a spectroscopic study of metal clusters and metal-ligand complexes using pulsed field ionization zero kinetic energy (PFI-ZEKE) photoelectron spectroscopy and mass analyzed threshold ionization (MATI) spectroscopy. Vibrational resolved spectra of sodium dimer, Na•NH₃, Na•(NH₃)₂ are presented. These spectra provide a direct measurement of the ionization...
