Wang, Yuan (2013-07-30)The studies in this dissertation aim at advancing our scientific understandings about physical processes involved in the aerosol-cloud-precipitation interaction and quantitatively assessing the impacts of aerosols ...
-
Fortner, Edward Charles (2009-05-15)Measurements of ambient volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) are reported from recent airborne and surface based field campaigns. The Southeast Texas Tetroon Study (SETTS) ...
-
Chen, Yuan (2017-04-27)China has been suffering from increasingly higher ozone pollution in the past decade because of rapid economic growth and industrial development. Ozone formation is affected by the nitrogen oxides (NOx) and various volatile ...
-
Wang, Tao (2012-07-16)Two mechanisms appear to be primarily responsible for the formation of cirrus clouds in Tropical Tropopause Layer (TTL): detrainment from deep convective anvils and in situ initiation. Here we propose to identify TTL ...
-
Mahish, Manasi (2017-06-27)Particle size and size resolved hygroscopicity distributions measured at the ARM SGP site from 2009 to 2012 were used to study new particle formation (NPF) and subsequent growth, variation in hygroscopicity and mixing state ...
-
Shirzadeh, Mehdi (2020-04-14)The proposed mechanism of fibril formation of transthyretin (TTR) involves self-assembly of partially unfolded monomers. However, the mechanism(s) of disassembly to monomer and potential intermediates involved in this ...

Wang, Yuan; Zhang, Renyi; Saravanan, R. (Nature Communications, 2014)
-
Pan, Bowen (2015-09-18)Recent studies show that Saharan dust can exert substantial radiative and microphysical effects on the weather and regional climate. Moreover, the potential impacts of Saharan dust on the genesis and intensification of ...
-
Thomas, Timothy William (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Global warming theories continue to overestimate their predictions of increased mean global temperatures (Hudson 1991). This would imply that some other influence is counteracting the global warming influences; i.e. a ...
-
Qiu, Chong (2013-02-01)In the first part of this dissertation, we study the aging of soot, a representative type of primary aerosols, in the presence of OH-initiated oxidation products of toluene. Monodisperse soot particles are introduced into ...
-
Atmospheric Measurements of Submicron Aerosols at the California-Mexico Border and in Houston, Texas Levy, Misti E (2013-04-29)Using an innovative arrangement of instruments to obtain a comprehensive set of properties, we present a description of the submicron aerosol properties for two distinct regions. During the 2009 SHARP/SOOT campaign in ...
-
Mirrielees, Jessica (2020-11-09)Aerosol particles have important effects on our world. In the context of the biosphere, aerosols contribute to air pollution and also influence human health. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has drawn attention to viral ...
-
Matthews, Brianna Hendrickson (2023-03-03)Under humid atmospheric conditions, pollen grains can rupture creating pollen grain fragments referred to as subpollen particles (SPPs). This study evaluated environmental conditions needed to emit SPPs and measure the ...
-
Chen, Ruiyue (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Beamfilling error is one of the main error sources for microwave oceanic rainfall retrieval. An accurate beamfilling correction can improve the rainfall retrieval accuracy significantly. Quantitative understanding of the ...
-
Watson, Matthew Raymond (2016-12-08)Several species of oak were used in a series of chamber based experiments. The species of oaks chosen (Quercus alba, muehlenbergii, and virginiana) were selected because they are all emitters of the volatile organic compound ...
-
Singh, Gagan (2012-07-16)A real-time, mobile Scanning Electrical Mobility Spectrometer (SEMS) was designed using a Condensation Particle Counter (CPC) and Differential Mobility Analyzer (DMA) to measure the size distribution of nanoparticles. The ...
-
Hendrickson, Brianna Nicole (2019-11-05)The potential influence of marine phytoplankton on cloud formation has been debated for more than forty years and remains unresolved due to uncertainty in the relative contribution of marine organic matter to cloud droplet ...
-
Gasparini, Roberto (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)A Differential Mobility Analyzer/Tandem Differential Mobility Analyzer (DMA/TDMA) was used to measure size distributions, hygroscopicity, and volatility during the May 2003 Aerosol Intensive Operational Period at the Central ...
-
Fort, Kyle Logan (2014-12-09)Ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) provides gas phase, size-based separation, on an ultrafast timescale (μs-ms). With the incorporation of electrospray ionization, IM-MS is a valuable tool to investigate conformations ...
