Radical Design Paradigms For Sustainable Construction at Kalamazoo College
(2010)In June 2007 Kalamazoo College committed to pursue carbon neutrality by signing the American Colleges and Universities Presidential Climate Commitment. In November 2008 the College conducted a greenhouse gas inventory ... -
Real-Time Domain Pitch Tracking Using Wavelets
(2005)A pitch tracker based on the fast lifting wavelet transform (FLWT) is developed in Matlab and C++. The algorithm is designed to function on vocal samples with a range of 90–1500 Hz. With under 25 ms latency, RMS error ... -
Recording Technology: A Progression from Phonograph to Hard Disk
(2002)The field of recording technology calls upon many disciplines of physics. From electromagnetics to acoustics and mechanics, the process of recording sound has developed along with progress in these various arenas. This ... -
The Recycled Solar Oven
(2008)In the design process of the oven, I will emphasize improvements in price, mobility and simplicity to the design. I will have access to a shop, including several tools in which I will build the oven. The design will ... -
Relative Gama-Ray Intensity Measurements Using a Lithium-Drifted Germanium Detector
(1967)This method is as accurate as any other now existing. N can be determined to within 2% with good statistics and reasonable care. One limit is the memory size of the multichannel analyzer. The greater the capacity of ... -
Relaxation Time in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Absorption
(1971)The experiment under consideration in this paper attempts to measure the relaxation time of protons in samples of water doped with varying concentrations of paramagnetic ions. The specific technique used in this experiment ... -
Required Differential Pressure for Rotary Syphons in Paper Dryers
(1987)Testing of rotary syphons in a 5 ft diameter by 21 ft face length paper dryer has been conducted in order to better understand the effects of blow-thru steam, condensing rate, dryer speed, and dryer pressure on differential ... -
The Resistance of a Spark
(1964)This paper is the result of three months of research conducted in the physics laboratory at Kalamazoo College. For the allotted time, a judicious choice regarding the general area of spark discharges in which work was ... -
Review and Data Analysis of Hydrogen Passivated Amorphous Silicon and Microcrystalline Photovoltaic Cells
(2001)Of all the technologies harnessing renewable energy, one of the most promising and exciting is that of solar power. Solar power, via the photovoltaic (PV) effect, has been around since the mid-1950's. Applications for solar ... -
A Review of the Teaching Methods Applied in the Introductory Physics Class at Kalamazoo College
(2015)The goal of this study is to examine and evaluate the teaching methods used in the introductory physics course at Kalamazoo College. Previously the class was taught as a lecture course which included some peer instruction, ... -

RF Throughput of Dispersion-Shifted Optical Fiber Propagating Intensity Modulated Laser Light
(1991)The theoretical effects of chromatic dispersion in silicon-based single-mode optical fiber on intensity modulated laser light are discussed. A model for small-signal tone modulation is developed; experimental techniques ... -
Robotic Arm and End of Arm Tooling Analysis
(2016)In the summer and winter of 2015 the author had the opportunity to work at A.S.S (Automation System Services) End of Arm Tooling, shadowing engineers and learning how to design and build EOATs for various products. A.S.S ... -
Rounding Phenomena Present in the Propagation of Low Amplitude Shock Waves in a Tube
(1971)The objective of this project was to attempt to determine causes for the two types of rounding that had been observed. Two particular effects seemed pertinent to our experimental situation. Whenever sound waves propagate ... -
Scanning Light-Spot Measurements on Grain Boundaries in Polycrystalline-Silicon Solar Cells
(1981)The theoretical electrical effects of grain boundaries in polycrystalline' silicon are discussed. Zook's model for the electrical effects of a grain boundary is reviewed. Then experimental techniques, with which to test ... -
Schlieren Photography of N-Waves about a Focus
(1974)The schlieren method is a relatively old technique. The first system has been accredited to Leon Foucault. Foucault designed the system in 1858 as a means of quality control in the manufacture of large objectives. Known ... -
Search for Electric Quadrupole Moments in Nuclear Collisions with Finite Net Baryon Density
(2012)It is predicted that a Chiral Magnetic Wave (CMW) at finite baryon density can induce an electric quadrupole moment in the quark-gluon plasma produced in heavy ion collisions [1]. This electric quadrupole deformation lifts ... -
A Search for the Standard Model Higgs Boson in pp → ZH → μ+μ− b b at √s = 1.96 TeV
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2006-01-01)The theory and experiment associated with the Standard Model Higgs boson is reviewed. A search is underway at Fermilab’s Tevatron accelerator for Higgs production in the pp → ZH → μ+μ−bb channel at 1.96 TeV. This study ... -
Selected Comments on Work Towards a Mossbauer Spectrograph for the 93.31 KEV Transition of Zn 67
(1975)This paper is a report of work on a research project which is still in progress. The goal of this project is to build, calibrate, and operate a working Mossbauer spectrometer for use with zinc compounds, especially zinc-based ...
