High p<sub partial> inclusive charged hadron distributions in Au+Au collisions at square root(s<sub NN>) = 130 Gev at RHIC

Description: This thesis reports the measurement of the inclusive charged particle (h{sup +} + h{sup -}) p{perpendicular} spectra for 1.7 < p{perpendicular} < 6 GeV/c at midrapidity (|{eta}| < 0.5) as a function of various centrality classes in Au+Au collisions at {radical}s{sub NN} = 130 GeV. Hadron suppression is observed relative to both scaled NN and peripheral Au+Au reference data, possibly indicating non-Abelian radiative energy loss in a hot, dense medium.

Geometry, topology, and string theory

Description: A variety of scenarios are considered which shed light upon the uses and limitations of classical geometric and topological notions in string theory. The primary focus is on situations in which D-brane or string probes of a given classical space-time see the geometry quite differently than one might naively expect. In particular, situations in which extra dimensions, non-commutative geometries as well as other non-local structures emerge are explored in detail. Further, a preliminary exploratio… more

Experiential Education in Groundwater Hydrology: Bridging the Technical-Policy-Populace Gap Final Report

Description: It is well recognized that half the countries in the world will face significant fresh water shortages in the next 20 years, due largely to growing populations and increased agricultural and industrial demands (Gleick, 1997). These shortages will significantly limit economic growth, decrease the quality of life and human health for billions of people, and could potentially lead to violence and conflict over securing scarce supplies of water. In the Middle East, groundwater represents an importa… more
