This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 34 (thesis year 1989) a total of 13,377 theses titles from 26 Canadian and 184 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 34 reports theses submitted in 1989, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents the results of a successful W-band gyrotron backward wave oscillator experiment. Three major achievements presented in this thesis are: 1) The design, simulation, construction and operation of a cusp electron gun; 2) The design, simulation, optimisation, construction and experimental measurement of a W-band helically corrugated waveguide and 3) the operation of the world's first W-band gyro-BWO using both a helically corrugated waveguide and a cusp electron gun. Gyro-BWO interaction with a 2nd cyclotron harmonic axis-encircling annular electron beam was observed. The interaction region was constructed through an accurate electroplating method while the designed dispersion characteristics agreed well to the experimental measurements. The loss through the optimised construction method was low, recorded around 1dB through the frequency range of interest. The following work presents the analytical, numerical and experimental investigation of a proof of principle gyro-BWO experiment. The design, simulation and optimisation of a thermionic cusp electron gun that can generate a 1.5A, 40kV axisencircling electron beam are discussed. Simulations showed a high quality electron beam with ~8% velocity spread and ~10% alpha spread. Experiments were conducted using this electron gun and the accelerating voltage pulse, diode current, transported beam current are presented. The electron beam profile was recorded showing a clear axis-encircling beam image from which the electron beam diameter and alpha values can be measured. Microwave radiation was measured over a frequency range of ~91-100GHz with a approximate maximum power of ~0.37kW. Operating over the magnetic field range 1.79T to 1.9T and measured over a range of alpha values this result was very impressive and proved the successful operation of the gyro-BWO.
Download or read book Theoretical Studies of Plasma Loaded Backward Wave Oscillator written by Dilip Kumar Sarker and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The linear theory of electromagnetic radiation from a plasma-loaded sinusoidally corrugated backward wave oscillator driven by intense relativistic electron beam has been developed and analyzed numerically as well as analytically. A beam-plasma waveguide model has been proposed and studied analytically with an aim to give a guideline to achieve an optimally designed backward wave oscillator in the X-band frequency range. First, the dispersion relation for TM01 mode in absence of electron beam has been analyzed numerically for different structure-size parameters and plasma density. Then, developing the analytical dispersion relation, the effects of variation of structure parameters and plasma density on the spatial and temporal growth rates for TM01 mode are investigated. Here, the analytical investigation, have been carried out by absolute instability analysis. It is observed that the variation of structure-size parameters and filled-plasma density modify the dispersion curves of the backward wave oscillator significantly and affect the beam-wave interaction frequency, the temporal and spatial growth rates and thus the signal strengths considerably.

Download or read book Radiative Processes in Astrophysics written by George B. Rybicki and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-09-26 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radiative Processes in Astrophysics: This clear, straightforward, and fundamental introduction is designed to present-from a physicist's point of view-radiation processes and their applications to astrophysical phenomena and space science. It covers such topics as radiative transfer theory, relativistic covariance and kinematics, bremsstrahlung radiation, synchrotron radiation, Compton scattering, some plasma effects, and radiative transitions in atoms. Discussion begins with first principles, physically motivating and deriving all results rather than merely presenting finished formulae. However, a reasonably good physics background (introductory quantum mechanics, intermediate electromagnetic theory, special relativity, and some statistical mechanics) is required. Much of this prerequisite material is provided by brief reviews, making the book a self-contained reference for workers in the field as well as the ideal text for senior or first-year graduate students of astronomy, astrophysics, and related physics courses. Radiative Processes in Astrophysics also contains about 75 problems, with solutions, illustrating applications of the material and methods for calculating results. This important and integral section emphasizes physical intuition by presenting important results that are used throughout the main text; it is here that most of the practical astrophysical applications become apparent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all measurement units, frequency is the one that may be determined with the highest degree of accuracy. It equally allows precise measurements of other physical and technical quantities, whenever they can be measured in terms of frequency. This volume covers the central methods and techniques relevant for frequency standards developed in physics, electronics, quantum electronics, and statistics. After a review of the basic principles, the book looks at the realisation of commonly used components. It then continues with the description and characterisation of important frequency standards from atomic clocks, to frequency stabilised lasers. The whole is rounded of with a discussion of topical applications in engineering, telecommunications, and metrology.

Download or read book Partial Differential Equations written by Walter A. Strauss and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2007-12-21 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our understanding of the fundamental processes of the natural world is based to a large extent on partial differential equations (PDEs). The second edition of Partial Differential Equations provides an introduction to the basic properties of PDEs and the ideas and techniques that have proven useful in analyzing them. It provides the student a broad perspective on the subject, illustrates the incredibly rich variety of phenomena encompassed by it, and imparts a working knowledge of the most important techniques of analysis of the solutions of the equations. In this book mathematical jargon is minimized. Our focus is on the three most classical PDEs: the wave, heat and Laplace equations. Advanced concepts are introduced frequently but with the least possible technicalities. The book is flexibly designed for juniors, seniors or beginning graduate students in science, engineering or mathematics.

Download or read book Galileo Unbound written by David D. Nolte and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-12 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Galileo Unbound traces the journey that brought us from Galileo's law of free fall to today's geneticists measuring evolutionary drift, entangled quantum particles moving among many worlds, and our lives as trajectories traversing a health space with thousands of dimensions. Remarkably, common themes persist that predict the evolution of species as readily as the orbits of planets or the collapse of stars into black holes. This book tells the history of spaces of expanding dimension and increasing abstraction and how they continue today to give new insight into the physics of complex systems. Galileo published the first modern law of motion, the Law of Fall, that was ideal and simple, laying the foundation upon which Newton built the first theory of dynamics. Early in the twentieth century, geometry became the cause of motion rather than the result when Einstein envisioned the fabric of space-time warped by mass and energy, forcing light rays to bend past the Sun. Possibly more radical was Feynman's dilemma of quantum particles taking all paths at once — setting the stage for the modern fields of quantum field theory and quantum computing. Yet as concepts of motion have evolved, one thing has remained constant, the need to track ever more complex changes and to capture their essence, to find patterns in the chaos as we try to predict and control our world.
