  • Perceptions of control in health: cultural consideration 
    Craig, B. J.; Engstrom, M.C. (Nazarbayev University, 2013)
    This study investigates how much the citizens of Kazakhstan feel they have control over their own health. Efforts in health promotion build on the assumption that the public sees their current health choices and behaviors ...
  • Performance of water-based liquid scintillator 
    Beznosko, D.; Diwan, M.; Hans, S.; Jaffe, D.; Kettell, S.H.; Rosero, R.; Themann, H.; Viren, B.; Worcester, E.; Yeh, M.; Zhang, C. (Nazarbayev University, 2013)
    In order to successfully use both detection techniques with the WbLS, a minimum of about 100 optical photons per MeV of deposited energy should be produced. A test was carried out with the high-energy proton beam using 2 ...
  • Photonic crystal structures to control light on a nanoscale 
    Tikhonov, A.; Rakhmetova, A.; Koshkinbayeva, A. (Nazarbayev University, 2013)
    A new waveguiding effect in photonic crystals has been discovered. It will be useful for harvesting light for solar energy photovoltaic. We have found that incident light can be efficiently concentrated and redirected along ...
