Near infrared spectroscopy for fibre based gas detection [PDF]
Gas sensing systems based on fibre optic linked near infra red absorption cells are potentially a flexible and effective tool for monitoring accumulations of hazardous and noxious gases in enclosed areas such as tunnels and mines.

Optimizing End-to-End System Performance for Millimeter and Submillimeter Spectroscopy of Protostars: Wideband Heterodyne Receivers and Sideband-Deconvolution Techniques for Rapid Molecular-Line Surveys [PDF]
This thesis describes the construction, integration, and use of a new 230-GHz ultra-wideband heterodyne receiver, as well as the development and testing of a new sideband-deconvolution algorithm, both designed to enable rapid, sensitive molecular-line ...

Polypept(o)ide-Based Core-Shell Bottlebrush Polymers: A Versatile Platform for Drug Encapsulation. [PDF]
This study developed polypept(o)ide‐based core–shell brushes (CSBs) with tunable sizes (Rh: 17–70 nm) for hydrophobic drug delivery. CSBs achieved 10% dasatinib loading through π–π interactions, enabling sustained release over 72 h. Notably, CSB‐dasatinib complexes showed comparable cell viability reduction to the free drug in U‐87 MG cells ...

Characterizing Quasar C iv Emission-line Measurements from Time-resolved Spectroscopy [PDF]
We use multiepoch quasar spectroscopy to determine how accurately single-epoch spectroscopy can locate quasars in emission-line parameter space in order to inform investigations where time-resolved spectroscopy is not available.

A new generation of sensitive X-ray measurements are indicating that the existence of X-ray attenuation column densities, NH > 1024 cm-2, is quite common among broad absorption line quasars (BALQSOs). This is significant to the geometry of the broad absorption line (BAL) outflow.

First results from high redshift quasar searches in VIKING [PDF]
This thesis presents the discovery of the first luminous z & 6.5 quasars in the VISTA kilo-degree Infrared Galaxy Survey (VIKING). After some basic quality control, quasar selection is investigated via use of initial data supplementedwith ...

We have obtained a high signal-to-noise (30 ? S/N ? 70), high-resolution (FWHM = 20 km s-1) spectrum of the radio-quiet QSO HS 1700+6416 (zem = 2.72) with the echelle spectrograph on the Kitt Peak National Observatory 4 m telescope. We detect 13 metal systems in the optical spectrum of this QSO, including six systems with associated optically thin ...

THE DISAPPEARANCE OF A NARROW Mg II ABSORPTION SYSTEM IN QUASAR SDSS J165501.31+260517.4
In this paper, we present for the first time the discovery of the disappearance of a narrow Mg II lambda lambda 2796, 2803 absorption system from the spectra of the quasar SDSS J165501.31+260517.4 (z(e) = 1.8671).

Line-narrowing spectroscopy in amorphous solids through polarization detection of spectral holes. I. Principles [PDF]
Detection of spectral satellite holes by polarization spectroscopy is proposed as a method to measure the line-narrowed electronic absorption spectrum of a large mol. in an amorphous solid at low temp.
