Galactic Intruders - A Vector Multiplication Module
(1981)Vector multiplication is an essential tool in the study of Physics. This paper describes a program designed to teach and test the students ability in this area. The paper also serves to give a brief background to the ... -
Growth and Characterization of Fe-Se-Te Superconducting Materials
(2019-12-01)Iron-based superconductors are a family of high temperature superconductors which are not explained by the standard BCS theory. We have synthesized Fe-Se-Te single crystals via AlCl3 and KCl flux under a temperature gradient. ... -
A Guide to Green Building

Harnessing Ocean Wave Energy: The Crest Wing Wave Energy Converter
(2008)This report presents the results of an experimental study of the wave energy converting abilities of the Crest Wing wave energy converter (WEC). The Crest Wing is a WEC that uses its movement in matching the shape of an ... -
A High Pressure System for the Investigation of the Structure of Liquids Using Positron Annihilation
(Kalamazoo College., 1963-01-01) -
High-Pressure Millimeter-Wave Spectroscopy and Radiometry
(1993)In 1990, Congress amended the Clean Air Act to phase in the requirement for all industries to continuously monitor airborne effluents for a range of environmentally unsound chemical species. This requirement sets the ... -
History and Design of the Small Point One Sailboat
(2009)When I was eight years old, my godmother brought me for the first time to Small Point, ME, a small community on the water where she had summered for over 40 years. That first summer, I learned how to sail in a very small ... -
Hydrogen and Fuel Cells: A Look at the Future of Transportation
(2002)Fuel cell research has reached an all-time high, and stories of the progress fuel cell technology is making are cropping up in more and more articles in a variety of media. This paper seeks to synthesize much of this ... -
In Situ Micro-Raman Spectroscopy of Rubrene Single Crystals
(2019)Raman Spectroscopy is the measure of different energy levels of a substance that allows you to see structural information of your substance. Raman Spectroscopy was performed on the organic semiconductor Rubrene ... -
In vivo Optical Measurement of Bone Strength Using Raman Spectroscopy
(2019)Although there are a variety of clinical techniques to measure bone mineralization and structure, bone mineral density alone is not fully indicative of bone strength. Raman spectroscopy is a technique that provides chemical ... -
Individual Unite! Generating Synergistic Understanding Through Online Prediction Markets
(2005)Synergistic understanding is a pre-existing self-organizing phenomenon of social evolution that has the power to generate knowledge to collectively identify and solve problems. Through the networking capabilities of the ... -
Inelastic Scattering of Fast Protons by He
(1974)The collision of energetic charged particles with atoms has been an important subject for atomic physicists since E. Rutherford first performed his experiment in 1910. In this paper, the collision of a fast proton with a ... -
The Influence of Temperature on D.C. Resistance of Pure Lead Wire
(1970)The purpose of my work has been to investigate the resistivity of lead wire as a function of temperature. -
The Influence of Triple Junction Design on High Voltage Holdoff for Insulators in Vacuum
(1990)Surface flashover of solid insulators in vacuum is a type of high voltage breakdown which typically occurs before any other type of breakdown in vacuum. As a result, surface flashover is quite often a limiting factor for ... -
Interactive Computer Games as Educational Supplements
(1993)My project was created with the facilities available at Kalamazoo College. I explored the new 660AV Macintosh and programmed its voice recognition. I created two physics labs for Kalamazoo College's non calculus based ... -
An Interactive Program for Automating Optical Ray Tracing
(1985)The goal of my Senior Individualized Project was to design and code a Pascal program which helps Optics students develop an intuition for ray tracing. Users can graphically manipulate an object-lens system and observe ... -
Interfacial Instabilities in Soft Matter 3D Printing
(2018)All forms of printing boil down to the act of transferring one medium to another. Three-dimensional (3D) printing injects ink onto a platform into the desired shape, building it one layer at a time. The ink for traditional ... -
Interfacing the Apple II to Physics Experiements
(1990)Acquiring data from an experiment takes time and skill. Time is required to run the experiment in order to gather the quantity of data to make the correlations meaningful. Skill is required to insure the quality of the ... -
Introduction of Computer-Assisted Instruciton to Kalamazoo College
(1971)This paper is designed to accomplish a number of things. First, it is meant to serve as an introduction to CAI as developed at Kalamazoo College. Second, it will give a cursory background of my involvement with CAI. ...
