The superconducting density of states of the two-dimensional electron system at the LaAlO 3–
SrTiO 3 interface exhibits broad quasiparticle peaks that are well described by the Dynes …

Polydactyly is a relatively common abnormality in infants. However, it can be a marker of a
wide variety of neurological and systemic abnormality. Hence, it is important for pediatrician …

This thesis represents a breakthrough in our understanding of the noise processes in
Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs). While the detection of ultraviolet to near …
