The Influence Network In 1+1 Dimensions, James Lyons Walsh
The Influence Network In 1+1 Dimensions, James Lyons Walsh
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
The Influence Network research program [1] [2] [3] [4] starts with a very simple model
Numerical Study Of Klebanov-Tarnopolsky Models, Nathaniel Avish
Numerical Study Of Klebanov-Tarnopolsky Models, Nathaniel Avish
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
In this thesis we perform a numerical study of the $O(N_1)\times O(N_2)\times O(N_3)$ Klebanov-Tarnopolsky (KT) model, whose large-$N$ limit is expected to admit a simple gravitational dual under the AdS/CFT correspondence. We study the $25$ special cases of the KT model which have fewer than $2^{13}$ states. For all such systems we diagonalize the Hamiltonian matrices, identify sectors which have specific charges, and compute the number of singlet states. Our findings support prior evidence that the KT model can be exactly diagonalized and therefore may have an exact analytic solution, which would be helpful in learning more about the AdS/CFT …
Coherent Scatter Imaging For Mammography, Katie Kern
Coherent Scatter Imaging For Mammography, Katie Kern
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Traditional x-ray images are good at distinguishing between materials with different absorption coefficients. The problem with mammography stems from the fact that there is very low contrast between cancerous and normal tissue types. Since cancerous and normal tissue have similar absorption coefficients, using conventional x-ray imaging to distinguish between the two is difficult. Coherent scatter is an alternative method to detect cancerous material within human breast tissue. Coherent scatter can distinguish between tissue types, if the intermolecular spacing of the tissues differ.
A Potential Framework For Emergent Space-Time And Geometry From Order, Newshaw Bahreyni
A Potential Framework For Emergent Space-Time And Geometry From Order, Newshaw Bahreyni
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This research is about seeking laws of physics and geometry from order. Anything that is measured is the result of something influencing something else. An act of influencing and the response to such influence form a pair of events. A collection of such events along with their binary ordering relation of influence which forms a
Albany Particle Training And Testing Tower (Apt3) : A Remote Interactive Lab, Hasan Mahmood
Albany Particle Training And Testing Tower (Apt3) : A Remote Interactive Lab, Hasan Mahmood
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
We have built a prototype time-of-flight system named Albany Particle Testing and Training Tower (APT3) based on scintillation counters (Lucite or Poly-methyl methacrylate (PMMA)) with dimensions (50 × 8 × 5 cm3). The CAMAC based data acquisition (DAQ) system and control setup to collect and process information from a scintillation detector using LabVIEW (v.8.5) has been developed. We have also studied the timing resolution of APT3 setup as a function of the hit position of the particle beam (cosmic muons) from the scintillation counter and as a function of the high voltage applied to the scintillation counter. After locating the …

Autonomous Entropy-Based Intelligent Experimental Design, Nabin Kumar Malakar
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
The aim of this thesis is to explore the application of probability and information theory in experimental design, and to do so in a way that combines what we know about inference and inquiry in a comprehensive and consistent manner.
