Modeling technology pathways and retrofit adoption to achieve city-wide building emissions reduction goals by Berzolla, Zachary M.

“…Under the current business as usual retrofitting rate, less than a fifth of the building stock will be retrofitted by 2050. To help policymakers grasp this temporal challenge, this dissertation introduces a novel application of technology diffusion models that can quantify retrofit adoption over time. …”

What can literature do that philosophy can't? Entering the hybrid worlds of Simone de Beauvoir and Iris Murdoch by Holt, N

“…The ideas of each of them on literature cannot be understood without a proper grasp of their thinking on language. I therefore also look at their views on language, focusing particularly on the kind of language ‘use’ represented by literature, and show how their own experience of language-learning played a part in shaping those views.…”

Interpretation of an anomalous peak in low-temperature photoluminescence measurements of bulk GaAs[sub 1−x]N[sub x] on GaAs by Cheah, Weng Kwong, Fan, Weijun, Yoon, Soon Fatt, Loke, Wan Khai, Liu, R., Wee, A. T. S.

“…The band-anticrossing model is used to identify the origins of the two peaks and we propose a model to explain the RTA observations by the concept of increased confinement in areas of higher N concentrations by trapped N localized states. The peak is due to the accumulation of N content near the GaAs/GaAsN interface. …”

High flux strontium atom source by Feng, C. H., Robert, P., Bouyer, P., Canuel, B., Li, Jianing, Das, Swarup, Kwong, Chang Chi, Wilkowski, David, Prevedelli, M., Bertoldi, A.

“…Our approach involves velocity-dependent transverse capture of atoms using a two-dimensional magneto-optical trap. To enhance the atomic flux, we employ tailored magnetic fields that minimize radial beam expansion and incorporate a cascaded Zeeman-slowing configuration utilizing two optical frequencies. …”

Radioactive Atoms and Molecules for Fundamental Physics by Udrescu, Silviu-Marian

“…I will then present the theoretical calculations and the status of an experiment aiming to measure hadronic parity violation using single molecular ions inside a Penning trap. The experiment's goal is to use the external magnetic field provided by the trap to fine-tune molecular energy levels of opposite parity close to degeneracy, thus increasing the signal produced by parity violating nuclear properties. …”
