Spanning the Universe's history from its first moments to the present, this dissertation covers most of the Universe's history and the bulk of its constituents. With the most basic properties of neutrinos still not well understood, the neutrino sector may harbor yet undiscovered…
The analysis of time series has long been the subject of interest in different fields. For decades time series were analysed with linear models, which have many advantages. Nevertheless, an issue which has been raised is whether there exist other models that can explain and fore…
Boiling heat transfer provides a means of removing high heat fluxes at low temperature differences in many applications in the power and process industries. A strong interest has been also developed for the cooling of silicon-based devices, such as electronic chips. However, a c…
Although non-combatants have a significant impact on U.S. urban operations, current military models and other analytic tools do not include them in a meaningful way. This dissertation seeks to: (1) use case study methodology to identify non-combatant behavior from recent U.S. ur…
Core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) theories have been long developed to link the observed SNe to their physical properties. Despite past endeavors, CCSN research is still an active field owing to data coming from wide-field surveys and advancements in the computational power that …
The lifespan of a galaxy is punctuated by both mergers and flybys, yet most methods to track the galaxy assembly history within a cosmological simulation are designed to identify only mergers. Here, we present the full halo interaction network for several runs of the Illustris s…
