This document is a dissertation submitted by James Madigan Loy to the University of Texas at Austin for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The dissertation describes the development of an efficient computational method called COMET (Coupled Ordinates Method) to solve the Boltzmann Transport Equation for phonon transport in multiscale, multimaterial systems. COMET treats phonon-phonon coupling implicitly through the direct solution of equations in wave vector space, achieving significant acceleration over traditional sequential methods for a wide range of conditions. COMET is also extended to efficiently simulate phonon transport across heterogeneous interfaces using diffuse mismatch modeling. Its utility is demonstrated through simulations of thermal conductivity in silicon-germanium nanoparticle composites.

Disneyfication and Disneyzation - how they shaped and influenced media and en...Hrvoje Hrsto
This document provides an overview of the concepts of Disneyfication and Disneyzation. It defines the two terms, which are often used interchangeably but refer to different concepts. Disneyfication relates to how Disney shapes narratives and culture through its brands and stories. Disneyzation refers to how Disney transforms physical spaces and customer experiences to resemble its theme parks through theming, hybrid consumption, merchandising, and performative labor. The document then examines Disney's history and how it has engaged in activities over time that have contributed to Disneyfication and Disneyzation, from its early animated films to the development of theme parks and digital media. It also discusses the influence of Disney and non-Disney animated films. In the
The Impact of Madonna’s Career on Pop Music Genre and Other ArtistsHrvoje Hrsto
Madonna has had a significant impact on pop music over her 30+ year career. She has released 24 albums, over 80 singles, and 70 music videos. Throughout her career, she has influenced and emulated various music genres including dance, pop, electronica, rock, and R&B. Many artists have cited Madonna as an inspiration and have covered her songs. She continues to be one of the best-selling music artists of all time and is considered the "Queen of Pop".
50 Years of Media Convergence - Doctor Who?Hrvoje Hrsto
This document provides an overview of how the Doctor Who franchise expanded from its origins as a BBC television series through various forms of media convergence over 50 years. It began expanding within its first year with annual publications and novelizations. During periods when the television series was off air, the franchise was sustained through licensed novels, audio dramas, webcasts and other unofficial adaptations. The 2005 reboot of the television series utilized various online meta-textual sites and spin-offs to further engage audiences and expand the transmedia storytelling of the Doctor Who universe.
Richard Wagner, his work and influence on film, music and other artsHrvoje Hrsto
This document provides a biography of Richard Wagner, a famous German composer, and discusses his innovations and influences. It describes Wagner's early life and career, his years in exile due to political unrest, and his later return to Germany. It also examines some of Wagner's controversial views and the appropriation of his work by the Nazis. The document highlights Wagner's innovations like Gesamtkunstwerk and the leitmotif, and his influence on film scores like Star Wars. Finally, it discusses Wagner's lasting legacy and influence on other artists and art forms beyond just music.
