Acoustic Modeling of a 400 Seat Lecture Hall
(2013)Classroom acoustics are very important to students and professors alike. The ability to convey speech is very important to both speaker and listener. A room with poor acoustics can hinder learning. This study examines the ... -
An Acoustic Study of an Open Flue Ogan Pipe
(1965)It is the purpose of this paper to, at the most, just break the surface in attempting to answer some of the questions which will be mentioned later in the paper and, at the least, to instill some curiosity and incentive ... -
Acoustical Implications of Voice Technology in the Open-Plan Office
(1988)Project ECIOV was designed to answer some of the acoustical environmental issues presented by the growing number of people implementing voice input/output with computers. Preliminary testing was carried out with the ... -
Acoustics of the Mridangam: Study of a New Design of a South Indian Drum
(2007)The mridangam is the primary musical drum of South India and is comprised of three primary parts: the tonal head, bass head, and central wooden shell to which the two heads are traditionally fastened by leather thongs. ... -
Activation Calculations of the Moderator for the Low Energy Neutron Source
(2003)The Low Energy Neutron Source (LENS) at the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility (IUCF) will accelerate protons in the range of 7 to 22 MeV. The protons are incident on a beryllium target via the (p,n) reaction, where ... -
An Active Deep Neural Network Architecture for Human Activity Recognition
(2018)Wearable technologies such as iPhones and smart watches have become ubiquitous in our modern world. As a result, massive amounts of sensor data are collected on a daily basis. This data can be leveraged to recognize human ... -
Adaptation of a Dynamic Muscle Mechanics Model to Simulate Movement in Young and Old Adults
(1998)The project I participated in involved the development of a direct-dynamics model to realistically simulate human movement. The model consisted of a multi-segmented representation of the body with Hill-type musculo-tendon ... -
Advanced Brazing Methods for Assembly of Superalloy Based Parts
(2013)René 108 is a nickel-based superalloy commonly used in gas turbines and other applications where high mechanical strength is need at high temperatures. Wide-gap brazing is commonly used to repair in-service parts to extend ... -
Alternative Methods for Ultrasonic Welding of Advanced Thermoplastic Composites
(2022-11-01)The fusion bonding of advanced thermoplastic composites has a variety of applications in aerospace, automotive, medical, consumer electronics and energy markets. High-power ultrasonic welding is a state-of-the-art manufacturing ... -
Analysis of Feasibility of Thermoforming Ceramic Tapes
(2001)Ceramics are versatile materials used in art, utilities, homes, and technology. Tape casting, a relatively new method of forming ceramics, includes a polymeric binder, which gives it properties similar to a flat polymer ... -
An Analysis of Vibrating Bars
(Kalamazoo College., 1963-01-01)The paper investigates the parameters of a transversely vibrating rigid bar under the influence of a periodic driving force through experimental and mathematical analyses. -
Analytical Characterization of Coals
(1991)Faster and more efficient methods of analyzing coal are needed to enable better decision making concerning combustion conditions at facilities using coal as a primary fuel. Infrared spectroscopy and thermoqravimetry are ... -
Angular Correlation Studies of the Successive Gamma-Gamma Cascade in Cobalt 60
(1970)The purpose of this thesis was to design and set up with the available equipment, an experiment that could be used to determine the angular momentum of excited nuclear states through gamma-gamma angular correlation studies. -
An Annotated Instruction Manual Covering the Use of the Computer Aided Instruction Program MOD5
(1977)Computer graphics and its applications have always fascinated me ever since I was first exposed to it. Naturally, an SIP connecting Computer graphics with Physics seemed ideal when Dr. Winch and I hit upon the idea early ... -
Application of Accoustical, Electrical and Carpentry Skills in the Design, Construction, and Testing of Audio Speaker Systems
(1988)As an audio enthusiast I dove into this project with a passion. I have always wondered about the "hows" and "whys" of speaker construction and I believe there are many audiophiles like myself who have wondered about the ... -
An Application of Low-Level Bulk Aerodynamic Procedures to a Cooling Pond
(1975)The decision to construct either a cooling tower or a cooling pond for the dissaption of waste heat produced by a power plant is influenced by such fctors as the availability of water, land values, construction costs, ... -
Applied Electronics: Construction of an Alternating Square Wave Current Generator for Nuclear Quadropole Resonance Spectroscopy
(1964)This project was assigned and undertaken with two definite ends in view. The first dealt with my interest in the field of applied electronics and my intention to enter this field upon graduation. Unfortunately, my ... -
The Argonne National Laboratory 'Zero-Gradient Synchrotron': A General Survey with a Detailed Discussion of the Piccioni Target
(1964)This paper is by no means intended to be a conclusive and complete report of the Argonne National Laboratory 'Zero Gradient Synchrotron'. Neither my background or the short period of my work there allows such a statement. ... -
Atomic Force Microscopy Analysis of the Striated Muscle Molecule Titin
(2004)The following study involves the use of a molecular force probe (MFP) to explore the mechanical behavior of a protein found in vertebrate striated muscle. The two topics of primary concern are the generation of passive ...
