Constructing a Catholic Political Economy; The Christian Anthropology and Market Capitalism
(2016-08-09)In this thesis, I will argue that the vision of the human person implicit within market capitalism differs from the anthropology outlined and interpreted through Catholic Social Teaching; the anthropology of each posits ... -
Construction and calibration of a custom time-of-flight mass spectrometer and its use in measuring the reaction kinetics of transition metal ion-organic interactions.
(2009-09-03)A unique instrument was constructed and used to generate and interrogate jet cooled neutrals, ions and their respective clusters. The instrument is a result of the artful marriage of supersonic expansions combined with ... -
Construction and validation of a reconfigurable computer cluster.
(2009-08-25)Cluster computing networks multiple computers (nodes) to exploit their parallel processing power. By pooling resources of multiple computers, computations can be decomposed and allocated across nodes with partial solutions ... -
