A study of nucleon unstable states produced in direct nuclear reactions by Hartmann, Kurt Miklos

“…An expression is derived for the wave function of such an excited nucleus, using the continuum shell-model theory. The bound and resonant states of the shell-model Hamiltonian are treated on an equal footing. …”

Earth materials in urban environments - toward building continuity with the past by Thomas, Katherine

“…The inquiry is sparked by experiments in making Compressed Earth Blocks, mud and straw bricks, and shell-crete, and explores the potential of building with locally sourced, earth-based materials in an urban context. …”

The politics of the Kiobel decision: The United States Supreme Court narrowing of jurisdiction under the Alien Tort Statute by McNally, Claire

“…I chose this structure not because I view the legal and political questions as distinct, but because I believe this structure best highlights the impact of the unspoken political considerations on the legal decisions made in Kiobel.…”

Atomistic Simulation of Na+ and Cl- Ions Binding Mechanisms to Tobermorite 14Å as a Model for Alkali Activated Cements by Abdelkawy, Ahmed

“…The production of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) is responsible for ~8% of all man-made CO2 emissions. Unfortunately, due to the continuous increase in the number of construction projects, and since virtually all projects depend on hardened cement from the hydration of OPC as the main binding material, the production of OPC is not expected to decrease. …”

Exploring the spectroscopy of vibrational levels in the 160 mass region by Majola, Siyabonga Ntokozo Thandoluhle

“…Amongst important spectroscopic features, is the identification of the γ wobbling candidate, which implies in some way that 156Dy is γ deformed. Extensions have been made on the γ bands and they are now observed to spins 31+ and 32+, which marks the highest spin to be ever observed for both the odd and even spin members of the γ bands in any nucleus. …”
