Measurement of the Rate of Muon Capture in Hydrogen Gas and Determination of the Proton's Pseudoscalar Coupling
… are quoted. The subject of union atomic and molecular kinetics in hydrogen, important for understanding many of the key features the experiment, is discussed in Chapter 3. The MuCap experimental design and apparatus are presented with selected details in Chapter 4. The next two chapters cover …

Combined experimental and modeling studies reveal new mechanisms in T cell antigen recognition
… and indicated that TCRs quickly upregulate their kinetics several magnitudes upon initial antigen recognition for antigen recapture. Additionally, OT-1 double positive thymocytes were probed by pMHC using a Biomembrane Force Probe (BFP) with different ligands under the presence of CD8, a …

A measurement of the rate of muon capture in an ultra-pure protium gas time projection chamber
… suppress sensitivity to the poorly known molecular transition rate, l_op, which allows for an unambiguous determination of the proton's pseudoscalar coupling, g_P, with a precision of 6.5%. Chiral perturbation theory makes a precise calculation, g_P = 8.26 +/- 0.23, so a comparison with …

Shock Ignition of N-Heptane With Supplemental Hydrogen
… study was to investigate the effect of adding molecular hydrogen to a mixture of n-heptane (surrogate for diesel fuel) and air on ignition delay time at prototypic post-compression diesel engine conditions. Ignition delay time data was measured using the reflected shock wave technique at a …

Temperature- and pressure-induced protein dynamics from microseconds to minutes
… of phosphoglycerate kinase is influenced by macromolecular crowding. In Chapter 7, an outreach project is described where simple mechanical and computer models of protein folding were used to teach students at the high school and undergraduate levels about scientific modeling and other basic …
