Isotopic and Elemental Compositions of Stardust and Protosolar Dust Grains in Primitive Meteorites
… QUE 99177 and MET 00426. Although, the number of stardust grains identified in the enstatite chondrite SAH 97096 is low, their identification indicates that such grains were not all destroyed during the high temperature phase experienced by enstatite chondrites. Finally, silicate grain abundances …

Is Ziggy Stardust Camp?: David Bowie As A Case Study In Music And Camp
… Bowie’s performance style and image during his “Stardust Years” (1972-1973) are widely considered as exemplifying a Camp aesthetic. With few exceptions (Buckley, 1993), all consider his image, the persona Ziggy Stardust, as being Camp and specific discussions of his music as Camp are lacking. …

Linear covariance analysis of atmospheric entry for sample return mission
… is an unguided entry vehicle similar to the Stardust Sample Return Mission. Flight dynamics for entry are modeled with the three-degree-of-freedom translational equations of motion. Uncertainty in vehicle, environmental, and mission design parameters are included to determine expected flight …

Electron beam characterization of carbon nanostructures
… cores found in a subset of graphitic presolar stardust. Electron diffraction data from these cores indicates they are comprised primarily of unlayered graphene sheets. Comparison to simulations indicates that these sheets are more triangular than equant, and thus likely the result of some …

Spectral studies of extra-terrestrial materials
… comet 81P/Wild 2 returned by the space mission Stardust. Further limitations were found with these samples caused by the fact that they are covered in aerogel and embedded in gold foil. Results indicate however, that the samples seem to be composed of a mixture of different materials. Results …

Hazards presented by pyrolysis and combustion products during laboratory experiments and real incidents
… factors tending to contribute to the hazard. The Stardust Disco fire highlighted the importance of lining materials in their contribution to both rapid fire development and toxicity. Maysfield Leisure Centre demonstrated the link between functional groups in polymers and the major toxicant likely …

Correlated NanoSIMS, TEM, and XANES Studies of Presolar Grains
The objective of this thesis is to describe the correlated study of individual presolar grains via Nano-scale Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (NanoSIMS), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM) utilizing X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES), …

One Hundred and Fifty Percent Elasticity
The sculptural environments I create immerse the viewer in a decrepit vaudevillian past. The sculptures allude to narratives within Community Theater as well as the Drag Show. Making becomes an act; manipulating materials such as synthetic hair and paint are associated with the guise of the makeup …
