Search for antideuterons and strangelets in cosmic rays with AMS-01
… processes. No DÌ nuclei were found, and a flux limit is estimated. We also present the results of preliminary strangelet search. Some interesting effects of the Mir space station on AMS-01 when Discovery was docked with Mir are also discussed.

Analyzing and improving image quality in reflective ghost imaging
… correlation between the fields. In the low flux limit this quantum source becomes the biphoton state. We compare our results to the corresponding behavior seen in transmissive ghost imaging, and we develop performance results for the reflective form of computational ghost imaging. We also …

Search for relativistic magnetic monopoles with the AMANDA-II detector
… the data, and the analysis allows to place upper limits on the flux of relativistic magnetic monopoles. The limit obtained for monopoles reaching the detector from below the horizon, i.e., those monopoles that are capable of crossing the Earth, is the most stringent experimental constraint on the …

The fabrication of nano-scale engineered surfaces to investigate the enhancement of boiling heat transfer and CHF in nuclear reactors
… fuel, the project aims to increase the heat flux limit, i.e., the critical heat flux (CHF), resulting in a boiling crisis. That allows for improvement on the safety margins and operation at higher power. The exact procedure for growing the nanowires will be delineated such that the results …

Mechanistic Understanding and Enhancing Pool Boiling Heat Transfer via Surface Property and Structure Design
… performance is described mainly by critical heat flux (CHF) and heat transfer coefficient (HTC), which quantifies the operational heat flux limit and the efficiency of boiling heat transfer, respectively. The goal of this thesis is two-fold: fundamental understanding on the mechanisms associated …

A high energy perspective of the co-evolution of black holes and their host galaxies
… the hard X-ray sky is now probed down to a flux limit where the bulk of the X-ray background is almost completely resolved into discrete sources, at least in the 2–8 keV band. Extensive programs of multiwavelength follow-up observations showed that the large majority of hard X–ray selected …
