A commutative noncommutative fractal geometry
(University of St Andrews, 2010) - ThesisIn this thesis examples of spectral triples, which represent fractal sets, are examined and new insights into their noncommutative geometries are obtained. Firstly, starting with Connes' spectral triple for a non-empty ... -
A compact Airy beam light sheet microscope with a tilted cylindrical lens
(2014-10-01) - Journal articleLight-sheet imaging is rapidly gaining importance for imaging intact biological specimens. Many of the latest innovations rely on the propagation-invariant Bessel or Airy beams to form an extended light sheet to provide ... -
Compact corrugated feedhorns with high Gaussian coupling efficiency and -60 dB sidelobes
(2016-06) - Journal articleWe demonstrate that very high performance, extremely compact, scalar corrugated feedhorns can be designed and constructed by optimizing the excitation and phasing of the HE11, HE12 and HE13 modes near the throat of the ... -
A compact light-sheet microscope for the study of the mammalian central nervous system
(2016-05-24) - Journal articleInvestigation of the transient processes integral to neuronal function demands rapid and high-resolution imaging techniques over a large field of view, which cannot be achieved with conventional scanning microscopes. Here ... -
Compact objects in active galactic nuclei and X-ray binaries
(University of St Andrews, 2007) - ThesisIn this thesis I study the inner-most regions of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) using the reverberation mapping technique, and neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries in quiescence using X-ray observations. Using the 13-year ... -
A compact system for ultracold atoms
(University of St Andrews, 2012-11-30) - ThesisThis thesis describes the design, construction and optimisation of two compact setups to produce ⁸⁷Rb Bose-Einstein condensates and dual ⁷Li-⁸⁷Rb Magneto-Optical Traps (MOTs). The motivation for compact systems is to have ... -
