    • Dynamically Reparameterized Light Fields 

      Isaksen, Aaron; McMillan, Leonard; Gortler, Steven (Association for Computing Machinery, 2000)
      This research further develops the light field and lumigraph image-based rendering methods and extends their utility. We present alternate parameterizations that permit 1) interactive rendering of moderately sampled light ...
    • Dynamics and architecture of Bacillus subtilis cell division 

      Holmes, Matthew (2022-01-11)
      Cells generate more cells. This proliferation requires multiple cellular-scale morphological changes from one generation to the next. One cell must physically separate into two daughters in cytokinesis. In bacteria, this ...
    • The Dynamics and Evolution of Supermassive Black Holes in Merging Galaxies 

      Blecha, Laura Elizabeth (2012-08-03)
      This thesis is a theoretical study of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in merging galaxies. We consider the dynamics that govern inspiralling SMBH pairs and gravitational-wave (GW) recoiling SMBHs, as well as the fueling ...

    • Dynamics and Magnetization in Galaxy Cluster Cores Traced by X-ray Cold Fronts 

      Keshet, Uri; Markevitch, Maxim; Birnboim, Yuval; Loeb, Abraham (American Astronomical Society, 2010)
      Cold fronts (CFs)-density and temperature plasma discontinuities-are ubiquitous in cool cores of galaxy clusters, where they appear as X-ray brightness edges in the intracluster medium, nearly concentric with the cluster ...
    • Dynamics and Materials Physics of Fault Rupture and Glacial Processes 

      Platt, John Daniel (2015-01-23)
      This thesis focuses on two main topics, the physics governing how faults rapidly weaken during an earthquake and the thermal and mechanical structure of ice stream shear margins. The common theme linking these two projects ...
    • The Dynamics and Prethermalization of One Dimensional Quantum Systems Probed Through the Full Distributions of Quantum Noise 

      Kitagawa, Takuya; Imambekov, Adilet; Schmiedmayer, Jörg; Demler, Eugene A. (Institute of Physics, 2011)
      Quantum noise correlations have been employed in several areas in physics including condensed matter, quantum optics and ultracold atom to reveal non-classical states of the systems. So far, such analysis mostly focused ...
    • Dynamics and spatiotemporal organization of mammalian SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes in transcriptional regulation 

      Qian, Kristin (2023-06-01)
      ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes play critical roles in the maintenance of tissue- and state-specific chromatin structure; however, the spatial organization and dynamics of these remodelers, as well as their ...
    • Dynamics and topology of absolute period foliations of strata of holomorphic 1-forms 

      Winsor, Karl Glen (2022-05-12)
      Let $S_g$ be a closed oriented surface of genus $g$, and let $\Omega\mathcal{M}_g(\kappa)$ be a stratum of the moduli space of holomorphic $1$-forms of genus $g$. In this thesis, we study dynamical and topological properties ...
    • Dynamics and Transport of the \(Z_2\) Spin Liquid: Application to \(\kappa-(ET)_2Cu_2(CN)_3\) 

      Qi, Yang; Xu, Cenke; Sachdev, Subir (American Physical Society, 2009)
      We describe neutron scattering, NMR relaxation, and thermal transport properties of \(Z_2\) spin liquids in two dimensions. Comparison to recent experiments on the spin \(S=\frac{1}{2}\) triangular lattice antiferromagnet ...
    • Dynamics and universality in noise-driven dissipative systems 

      Dalla Torre, Emanuele G.; Demler, Eugene; Giamarchi, Thierry; Altman, Ehud (American Physical Society, 2012)
      We investigate the dynamical properties of low-dimensional systems, driven by external noise sources. Specifically we consider a resistively shunted Josephson junction and a one-dimensional quantum liquid in a commensurate ...
    • Dynamics in Biological Soft Materials 

      Hou, Jennifer Hsin-I (2014-02-25)
      I present applications of imaging and spectroscopy to understand mechanical, chemical, and electrical dynamics in biological materials. The first part describes the development and characterization of a protein-based ...
    • Dynamics of 5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine during germ cell reprogramming 

      Yamaguchi, Shinpei; Hong, Kwonho; Liu, Rui; Inoue, Azusa; Shen, Li; Zhang, Kun; Zhang, Yi (Nature Publishing Group, 2013)
      Previous studies have revealed that mouse primordial germ cells (PGCs) undergo genome-wide DNA methylation reprogramming to reset the epigenome for totipotency. However, the precise 5-methylcytosine (5mC) dynamics and its ...
    • Dynamics of \(OH(^{2}\Pi)–He\) Collisions in Combined Electric and Magnetic Fields 

      Tscherbul, Timur V.; Groenenboom, Gerrit C.; Krems, Roman V.; Dalgarno, Alexander (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2009)
      We use accurate quantum mechanical calculations to analyze the effects of parallel electric and magnetic fields on collision dynamics of \(OH(^{2}\Pi)\) molecules. It is demonstrated that spin relaxation in \(^{3}He–OH\) ...
    • Dynamics of a Floating Exchange Rate Regime 

      Helpman, Elhanan; Razin, Assaf (University of Chicago Press, 1982)
      We study the full equilibrium dynamics of a two-country world economy with a floating exchange rate, traded and nontraded goods, and explicit modeling of the use of money. The resulting exchange rate equation depends on ...
    • Dynamics of a Massive Black Hole at the Center of a Dense Stellar System 

      Chatterjee, Pinaki; Hernquist, Lars; Loeb, Abraham (American Astronomical Society, 2002)
      We develop a simple physical model to describe the dynamics of a massive pointlike object, such as a black hole, near the center of a dense stellar system. It is shown that the total force on this body can be separated ...
