  • Two-Dimensional Electronic Spectroscopy of the Photosystem II D1D2-Cyt.B559 Reaction Center Complex
    Two-Dimensional Electronic Spectroscopy of the Photosystem II D1D2-cyt.b559 Reaction Center Complex by Jeffrey Allen Myers A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Physics) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Assistant Professor Jennifer P. Ogilvie, Chair Professor Paul R. Berman Professor Timothy A. McKay Professor Roseanne J. Sension Assistant Professor Kevin J. Kubarych ⃝c Jeffrey Allen Myers 2010 All Rights Reserved To my parents, Dan and Tina Myers ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My time at the University of Michigan has been spent learning a great deal about myself and the people around me, as well as the intricacies of physics. As an un- dergraduate, I never guessed what it really means to get a Ph.D. It has indeed been an adventure of great scope, a keen expansion of my knowledge and problem-solving capabilities, and a refinement of my identity as a scientist. But to stop there without acknowledging the many, many people who have helped me over the years would be a great injustice. First, I would like to thank everyone in Professor Ogilvie's group, all of whom brought some sunshine into a lab which, despite being on the corner of the fourth floor, has no windows. Dr. Sarah Nichols has my eternal gratitude for lending me her LATEXbook and example code to get me started up the typesetting learning curve, without which I would have been hopelessly lost in formatting. Kristin Lewis has been by my side in the lab from day one as my lab partner and academic counterpart.

Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2004-2019. 5404. https://stars.library.ucf.edu/etd/5404 DESIGN AND VERIFICATION OF A MULTI-TERAWATT TI-SAPPHIRE FEMTOSECOND LASER SYSTEM by PATRICK ROUMAYAH B.S. University of Michigan, 2011 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the College of Optics and Photonics at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Spring Term 2017 Major Professor: Martin Richardson ABSTRACT Ultrashort pulse lasers are well-established in the scientific community due to the wide range of applications facilitated by their extreme intensities and broad bandwidth capabilities. This thesis will primarily present the design for the Mobile Ultrafast High Energy Laser Facility (MU-HELF) for use in outdoor atmospheric propagation experiments under development at the Laser Plasma Laboratory at UCF. The system is a 100fs 500 mJ Ti-Sapphire Chirped-Pulse Amplification (CPA) laser, operating at 10 Hz.

  • U.S.-China Military Contacts: Issues for Congress
    U.S.-China Military Contacts: Issues for Congress Shirley A. Kan Specialist in Asian Security Affairs October 27, 2014 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL32496 U.S.-China Military Contacts: Issues for Congress Summary This CRS Report, updated through the 113th Congress, discusses policy issues regarding military- to-military (mil-to-mil) contacts with the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and records major contacts and crises since 1993. The United States suspended military contacts with China and imposed sanctions on arms sales in response to the Tiananmen Crackdown in 1989. In 1993, President Clinton reengaged with the top PRC leadership, including China’s military, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). Renewed military exchanges with the PLA have not regained the closeness reached in the 1980s, when U.S.-PRC strategic alignment against the Soviet Union included U.S. arms sales to China. Improvements and deteriorations in overall bilateral engagement have affected military contacts, which were close in 1997-1998 and 2000, but marred by the 1995-1996 Taiwan Strait crisis, mistaken NATO bombing of a PRC embassy in 1999, the EP-3 aircraft collision crisis in 2001, and the PLA’s aggressive maritime and air confrontations. Issues for Congress include whether the Administration complies with legislation overseeing dealings with the PLA and pursues contacts with the PLA that advance a prioritized set of U.S. security interests, especially the operational safety of U.S. military personnel. Oversight legislation includes the Foreign Relations Authorization Act for FY1990-FY1991 (P.L. 101-246) and National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY2000 (P.L.
