Planetary nebulae play a very important role in the chemical evolution of galaxies since they are responsible for returning nuclear-processed material to the interstellar medium. Observations of planetary ...
Henao Aristizábal, Andrés (Date of defense: 2016-09-23)
Many materials of scientific interest show a disordered phase, with their molecules presenting positional disorder, orientational disorder or both. Processes of interest to life also occur in these kind ...
Afa, Iduabo John (Date of defense: 2018-01-24)
Control is important for transferring theoretical scientific knowledge into practical technology for applications in numerous fields. This is why coherent control study is significant on every timescale ...
