This master's thesis studies the formation of cold fronts and radio mini-halos induced by intergalactic gas sloshing in galaxy cluster cores. Cold fronts are sharp edges of dense, cool gas moving through a hot, diffuse medium. Gas sloshing occurs when a subcluster passes through a massive cluster core, displacing the core gas. This can cause gas sloshing and the formation of cold fronts on opposite sides of the cluster center. The study analyzes data from several galaxy clusters to observe cold fronts and radio mini-halos and determine their possible connection through the mechanism of gas sloshing.
Application Note: Study Rigid Amorphous Fraction in Polymer Nano-Composites b...PerkinElmer, Inc.
It is known that there is a rigid amorphous fraction (RAF) in semicrystalline polymers. The RAF exists at the interface of crystal and amorphous phase as a result of the immobilization of a polymer chain due to the crystal.
Here, heat capacity measurment has been performed in order to detect a possible second Tg on nanocomposites of polymethyl methacrulate (PMMA) with silicon oxide nanoparticles of dfferent shape. StepScan(TM) DSC was used for determination of precise heat capacity and HyperDSC(R) to prevent degradation and identify devitrification of the RAF at elevated temperatures.

My Thesis
I investigated the microstructure of a wide variety of nano and microcrystalline Si (μc-Si:H) films
produced under different growth conditions using different characterization probes (spectroscopic
ellipsometry, Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and X-ray diffraction) at different stages of film growth.
In microstructural studies, I applied a novel modeling method for deconvolution of Raman
spectra of the μc-Si:H films and elucidated schematic growth models for the SiF4 based single phase μc-Si:H material.
I carried out studies on the optoelectronic properties of these microstructurally different
films using dark and photo- conductivity as functions of several discerning parameters. The results of these studies led me to expound a novel way of classifying the wide range of materials into three types based on microstructural attributes and correlative optoelectronic properties. My electrical transport
studies have uncovered some new aspects of the carrier conduction routes and mechanisms in the single phase μc-Si:H material. I have proposed the complete effective distributions of density of states (DOS) applicable to this wide microstructural range of μc-Si:H material based on the results of experimental and numerical simulation studies of the phototransport properties of the material.

In this presentation on Basics of Heat Transfer we will look at the different modes of heat transfer in an LED system, thermal conductivity of typical materials used in LED system design, and the various thermal resistances involved in an LED system.

Master Thesis Defence: Density of Oil-related Systems at High Pressures - Exp...Vasilis Vasou
The need for more energy recourses in combination with the gradual decrease of easily accessible hydrocarbons has led the industry to exploit deeper reservoirs, which are associated with higher pressures and temperatures. The correct identification of the physical properties of the reservoir hydrocarbons, such us density, is a significant parameter for estimating the amount of recourses in place and forecasting the production. Therefore in this work the measurement of the density of the binary system
methane - n-decane for four different compositions (xmethane = 0, 0.227, 0.6016, 0.8496) and under a wide range of pressure (up to 1400 bar) and temperature (up to 190 °C) was carried out with the use of an Anton Paar DMA-HPM densimeter.
The calibration of the DMA-HPM densimeter was performed for pressures up to 140 MPa (1400 bar) and temperatures up to 190 °C (463.15 K) with a modified Lagourette equation proposed by Comuñas et al and for the validation of the apparatus, the density
of n-decane was measured.
Finally a comparison between two cubic EoS (SRK and PR) and two non-cubic EoS (PC SAFT and SBWR) was performed.

DC and RF Measurements of MgB2 thin films (Tsuyoshi Tajima - 30')
Speaker: Tsuyoshi Tajima - Los Alamos National Laboratory | Duration: 30 min.
Abstract
In order to overcome the fundamental limit of an accelerating gradient of ~50 MV/m for Nb SRF cavities, thin film coating of MgB2 has been studied. Results of DC measurements using Magnetic Property Measurement System (MPMS) SQUID at LANL and of RF measurements using 11.4 GHz high-power pulsed Klystron with a TE013-mode copper cavity at SLAC will be presented. While DC measurements show very promising results, i.e., Bc1>200 mT at 4.5 K, two RF measurements have shown a quench field of ~25 mT at 3 K.
Maidana - Modification of particle accelerators for cargo inspection applicat...Carlos O. Maidana
As part of an accelerator based Cargo Inspection System, studies were made to develop a Cabinet Safe System by Optimization of the Beam Optics of Microwave Linear Accelerators of the IAC-Varian series working on the S-band and standing wave pi/2 mode. Measurements, modeling and simulations of the main subsystems were done and a Multiple Solenoidal System was designed.
This Cabinet Safe System based on a Multiple Solenoidal System minimizes the radiation field generated by the low efficiency of the microwave accelerators by optimizing the RF waveguide system and by also trapping secondaries generated in the accelerator head. These secondaries are generated mainly due to instabilities in the exit window region and particles backscattered from the target. The electron gun was also studied and software for its right mechanical design and for its optimization was developed as well. Besides the standard design method, an optimization of the injection process is accomplished by slightly modifying the gun configuration and by placing a solenoid on the waist position while avoiding threading the cathode with the magnetic flux generated.
The Multiple Solenoidal System and the electron gun optimization are the backbone of a Cabinet Safe System that could be applied not only to the 25 MeV IAC-Varian microwave accelerators but, by extension, to machines of different manufacturers as well. Thus, they constitute the main topic of this paper.
