Courses

Covers the basic physic of lasers. Topics include basics of optical resonators and gaussian beam propagation, stimulated emission, laser threshold conditions, laser linewidth, q-switching and mode locking of lasers, tuning of Cw lasers, and specifics of various common lasers. Prerequisites: Restricted to Graduate Students only.

May be repeated up to 18 total credit hours.

Optical spectrochemical analysis, atmospheric transmittance, including atomic and molecular spectroscopy, line-by-line spectral databases such as HITRAN, absorption, emission, fluorescence, scattering processes of gases, surface enhancements, aerosols, optical spectroscopic instrument components, and techniques, and their applications to atmospheric, and environmental problems. Prereq., undergraduate physical chemistry or instructor consent. Prerequisites: Restricted to Graduate Students only.

The human section reads and discusses contemporary research philosophies and methodologies in human geography. Practices the development of research proposals and presentation of research ideas and results. The physical section reads and discusses contemporary research philosophies and methodologies in physical geography (climatology, geomorphology, biogeography, and soils geography). Practices the development of research proposals and presentation of research ideas. Restricted to geography graduate students.

An accelerated course in modern scholarly Japanese for students with a basic foundation in Japanese and an advanced knowledge of Chinese. Focus is on materials in Japanese that relate to Chinese civilization and includes an introduction to kanbun. Prereq., one year of modern Japanese, graduate-level command of Chinese, or instructor consent.

May be repeated up 9 total credit hours. Same as ARTS 4171. Prerequisites: Restricted to Graduate Students only.

Lect. Establishes a background for understanding electrochemical systems through a review of the relevant thermodynamic, kinetic, and electronic principles. Compares classical and modern electrochemical methods of analysis. Several special topics are discussed in depth. Prereq., undergraduate physical chemistry or instructor consent.

Instructor consent required. Same as PSYC 4175. Prerequisites: Restricted to Graduate Students only.

Same as ARTS 4176. Prerequisites: Restricted to Graduate Students only.

Explores in detail the buildings, sculptures, pots, foreign imports, and society of Athens, considering material culture of individuals as much as civic programs. Emphasis is on ways the textual and archaeological evidence complement and/or contradict one another. The course focuses on the Periklean period, considering ways in which it developed from earlier times and influenced later ones in Athens. Same as CLAS 5179.

Mass spectrometry, including instrumentation, ionization techniques, and interpretation of mass spectra. Theory and practice of analytical separation processes including ion mobility, capillary electrophoresis, and liquid gas chromatography. Introduction to applications in e.g. atmospheric and biological mass spectrometry. Introduction to computer simulation of instrumentation and physical processes. Prereq., undergraduate physical chemistry or instructor consent. Prerequisites: Restricted to Graduate Students only.

Explores in detail the architecture, sculptures, coins, frescos, and other material evidence alongside the political and social history of Augustan Rome. Emphasis is on ways in which the textual and archaeological evidence complement and/or contradict one another. Will explore the impact of the early imperial period on later Roman phases of urban design and image making in the capital city. Same as CLAS 5189. Prerequisites: Restricted to Graduate Students only.
