Several diverse types of UH3-based hydrides can be prepared by hydrogenation of bcc U-based alloys. Pair Distribution Function (PDF) analysis using high-energy X-rays identified that the (UH3)1-xMo x hydrides are nanocrystalline, with the structure motif based mainly on the β-UH3 structure. α-UH3 represents a minority component. On the other hand, PDF of the (UH3)1-xZr x hydrides corresponds well
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are artificial plastic materials that mimic antibodies or enzymes. Like natural antibodies or enzymes, molecularly imprinted polymers can selectively bind target molecules or can promote catalytic reactions. In contrast to these natural entities, they are robust materials that resist heat, harsh chemicals and the presence of organic solvents. The starting mate
The focus of this thesis is on the use of wave splitting in electromagnetic direct and inverse scattering problems. Wave splitting offers a decomposition of wave fields into appropriate input and output wave constituents. Several different wave splittings are studied including one-dimensional, multi-dimensional energy-flux, and multi-dimensional locally exact wave splittings. The Bremmer series is
One-dimensional propagation of transient EM-waves in periodic media is studied. The media are periodic in the direction of propagation and can be of finite or infinite length. Wave propagators, that map a transient field from one point in the medium to another, are introduced. A number of useful relations for the propagators are presented. Some of these relations are used in the determination of e
This thesis aims to characterize and counteract the wave steepening effect in a horn loaded loudspeaker. The report consists of two main parts. The first part, the characterization of the horn speaker system, focuses on investigating and understanding the signal distortions introduced by the speaker system. In particular, non-linear distortion is examined to determine any parameter dependence of t
Cool flame has an important impact on the performance and emission of advanced low-temperature combustion (LTC) internal combustion engines (ICEs) in which the liquid fuel is injected earlier at a lower ambient temperature (Tam) than that in the conventional diesel combustion engines. However, the cool flame characteristics of spray combustion under ICEs conditions are not fully understood, e.g.,
In this paper transient electromagnetic wave propagation in a stratified, anisotropic, dispersive medium is considered. Specifically, the direct scattering problem is addressed. The dispersive, anisotropic medium is modeled by constitutive relations (a 3 × 3 matrix-valued susceptibility operator)con taining time convolution integrals. In the general case, nine different susceptibility kernels char

Wave propagators are introduced for transient wave propagation in a general one-dimensional medium. The definition of wave propagators is based upon a wave splitting technique. Several properties for the propagators are given and the relations between the method of propagators and the invariant imbedding method and the Green function approach are discussed.
In this paper, wave propagation of electromagnetic pulses in media that are periodic in one spatial direction is analyzed by a time domain technique. The special case of wave propagation in an inhomogeneous planar waveguide with perfectly conducting walls is also discussed. The wave equation is reduced to a set of one dimensional first order hyperbolic equations by an expansion in a complete set o
In this paper, a time-domain technique is used to analyze the wave propagation of electromagnetic pulses in media that are periodic in one spatial direction, perpendicular to the direction of propagation. The wave equation is reduced to a system of one-dimensional first order time dependent hyperbolic equations by a Fourier expansion in the transverse spatial direction and by utilizing a wave spli
The sea elevation at a fixed point is modelled as a quadratic form of a vector valued Gaussian process with arbitrary mean. With this model, saddlepoint methods are used to approximate the mean upcrossing intensity with which the sea level crosses upwards at a certain height. This estimated intensity is further used to determine the probability distribution of wave crests. The use of saddlepoint t
