The Hydraulic Landscape of Nimrud
(Institute of Archaeology, University of Tornio, 2015) -
Hydraulic Taiwan: Colonial Conservation under Japanese Imperial and Chinese Nationalist Rule, 1895-1964
(2023-05-15)This dissertation argues that conservation was a powerful historical force in Taiwan under Japanese colonial and early Republican Chinese rule. Unlike the Qing empire before it, the Japanese colonial state was committed ... -
Hydrodynamic Analysis and Protein Interactions of the Chromosomal Passenger Complex
(2016-12-06)The chromosomal passenger complex (CPC) is a conserved protein complex regulating cell division. Although the kinase subunit, Aurora B (AURKB), self-activates through autophosphorylation, it remains unclear how this happens ... -
Hydrodynamic correlations in the translocation of a biopolymer through a nanopore: Theory and multiscale simulations
(American Physical Society, 2008-09-17)We investigate the process of biopolymer translocation through a narrow pore using a multiscale approach which explicitly accounts for the hydrodynamic interactions of the molecule with the surrounding solvent. The simulations ... -
Hydrodynamic Drag on a Compact Star Orbiting a Supermassive Black Hole
(American Astronomical Society, 2000)The proposed Laser Interferometer Space Antenna is expected to detect gravitational waves from compact stars spiraling into supermassive black holes in distant galactic nuclei. Analysis of the inspiral events will require ... -
Hydrodynamic function of dorsal and anal fins in brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis)
(The Company of Biologists, 2007)Recent kinematic and hydrodynamic studies on fish median fins have shown that dorsal fins actively produce jets with large lateral forces. Because of the location of dorsal fins above the fish’s rolling axis, these lateral ... -
The hydrodynamic function of shark skin and two biomimetic applications
(The Company of Biologists, 2012)It has long been suspected that the denticles on shark skin reduce hydrodynamic drag during locomotion, and a number of manmade materials have been produced that purport to use shark-skin-like surface roughness to reduce ... -
Hydrodynamic Simulation of the Cosmological X‐Ray Background
(American Astronomical Society, 2001)We use a hydrodynamic simulation of an inflationary cold dark matter model with a cosmological constant to predict properties of the extragalactic X-ray background (XRB). We focus on emission from the intergalactic medium ... -
Hydrodynamic Simulations of the Sunyaev‐Zeldovich Effect(s)
(American Astronomical Society, 2001)We have performed a sequence of high-resolution hydrodynamic simulations of structure formation in a Lambda CDM model to study the thermal and kinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effects. Including only adiabatic gas physics, ... -
Hydrodynamic theory of thermoelectric transport and negative magnetoresistance in Weyl semimetals
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016)We present a theory of thermoelectric transport in weakly disordered Weyl semimetals where the electron-electron scattering time is faster than the electron-impurity scattering time. Our hydrodynamic theory consists of ... -
Hydrodynamics and Viscous Flow in Graphene Measured with Johnson Noise Thermometry
(2024-03-12)In this dissertation, we investigate thermal transport phenomena in 2-dimensional monolayer and bilayer graphene, both of which are candidates for strongly interacting, correlated electronic systems. The interactions between ... -
The hydrodynamics of eel swimming: I. Wake structure
(The Company of Biologists, 2004)Eels undulate a larger portion of their bodies while swimming than many other fishes, but the hydrodynamic consequences of this swimming mode are poorly understood. In this study, we examine in detail the hydrodynamics of ... -
Hydrodynamics of Hemostasis in Sickle-Cell Disease
(American Physical Society, 2013) -
Hydrodynamics of surface swimming in leopard frogs (Rana pipiens)
(The Company of Biologists, 2004)The kinematics of swimming frogs have been studied extensively in the past and, based on these results, hypotheses regarding the hydrodynamics of frog swimming can be generated. To test these hypotheses we used digital ... -
Hydrodynamics of the bluegill sunfish C-start escape response: three-dimensional simulations and comparison with experimental data
(The Company of Biologists, 2012)In this work we study the hydrodynamics of a bluegill sunfish performing a C-start maneuver in unprecedented detail using 3-D numerical simulations guided by previous laboratory experiments with live fish. The 3-D fish ... -
Hydrodynamics of the escape response in bluegill sunfish, Lepomis macrochirus
(The Company of Biologists, 2008)Escape responses of fishes are one of the best characterized vertebrate behaviors, with extensive previous research on both the neural control and biomechanics of startle response performance. However, very little is known ... -
Hydrodynamics of Writing with Ink
(American Physical Society, 2011)Writing with ink involves the supply of liquid from a pen onto a porous hydrophilic solid surface, paper. The resulting linewidth depends on the pen speed and the physicochemical properties of the ink and paper. Here we ... -
Hydrogel-Encapsulated Liposomes for Delivery of Therapeutic siRNA to Breast Cancer Cells
(2015-06-26)This project focuses on the development of a hydrogel-encapsulated liposome (‘lipogel’) delivery system for the delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) to breast cancer cells. siRNA-based therapeutics show promise for ... -
Hydrogels with tunable stress relaxation regulate stem cell fate and activity
(2015)Natural extracellular matrices (ECMs) are viscoelastic and exhibit stress relaxation. However, hydrogels used as synthetic ECMs for three-dimensional (3D) culture are typically elastic. Here, we report a materials approach ... -
Hydrogen Embrittlement of Aluminum: The Crucial Role of Vacancies
(American Physical Society, 2005)We report first-principles calculations which demonstrate that vacancies can combine with hydrogen impurities in bulk aluminum and play a crucial role in the embrittlement of this prototypical ductile solid. Our studies ...
