The field of exoplanets is currently poised to benefit hugely from improved radial velocity (RV) precision. Extreme precision radial-velocity (EPRV) measurements, capable of detecting planetary signals on the order of 10-30 cm/s, will deliver integral planetary parameters, be se…

In the United Kingdom, the tradition of the wind band is primarily found in the military. Great Britain, in 1845, published almost no music for wind band. It fell upon each bandmaster to compose or arrange suitable music for the regiment's band. Carl Boose, bandmaster of the Sco…
Early warning of slope instability will enable evacuation of vulnerable people and timely repair and maintenance of critical infrastructure. However, currently available warning systems are too expensive for wide-scale use or have technical limitations. The acoustic emission (AE…
In the past few years, a possible new population of sources emitting fast and bright transient radio bursts have been discovered. To explore this new transient phase space, the next generation of radio telescopes, typically interferometers, provide wide observing bandwidths in o…
This thesis is about the relationship between human bodies and instrumental technologies that can be use to measure them. It adopts the position that instruments are technological structures that evoke and manifest particular phenomena of embodied life. However, through their hi…
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, but technology (e.g., pacemakers, defibrillators, and imaging systems) has dramatically lowered mortality associated with heart disease. In basic research science, integrative approaches with different tools …
The percussion ensemble pieces of the 1930s and 1940s have many performance practice and instrumental selection considerations when performed in the modern day. The four pieces of music under consideration for this study are Ionisation (1933) by Edgard Varèse, Ostinato Pianissim…
Water ice is a fundamental planetary building block and ubiquitous in the outer solar system. On Ocean worlds like Europa, convecting ice may transport material from a subsurface ocean (a potential habitat) to the surface, depositing ices and salts. Evaluating the habitability o…
