Establish Testing Procedures for Dielectric and Piezoelectric Materials
(2000)The purpose of this project was to set up a laboratory with corresponding testing equipment that would demonstrate the structure-property relationships of dielectric and piezoelectric materials. The assigned project goals ... -
An Estimate of the Earth's Age from Therman Considerations, Assuming Initial Conditions
(1966)Geochronology can tell us much about cosmology, but it can be no better than its data. Other methods of dating the Earth exist, but all are subject to error of one form or another. Calculation of the Earth's age from ... -
An Examination of Active Galactic Nuclei in Galaxy Clusters
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2006-01-01)Cosmology is reviewed and Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), the subject of the research, are introduced. A study of AGN is done using data from SDSS and a cluster Catalog. The focus is on AGN identified by their emission ... -
An Experimental Investigation 12C(p,p)12C Reaction with an Open Air Van de Graaff
(1967)The purpose of this project is to attempt an experimental verification of Ernest Rutherford's differential cross section equation with elastically scattered protons. This is obviously not the height of originality, but ... -
An Experimental Investigation of Spectral Lines of Helium
(1966)This project involves the optics of some aspects of the concave grating spectrograph and the structure of the helium atom in attempting to account for its spectrum. Since my knowledge of the subject is severely limited, ... -
Experimental Investigation of Two-Electron Processes in Ion-Atom Collisions
(1989)This paper will cover two separate mechanisms currently being investigated in collisional atomic physics. The first mechanism, which is the main focus of this paper, is a double electron process investigated for the ... -
An Experimental Method for Determining Stress-Strain Relations with Strain Gages
(1977)When a large force is applied to a rectangular beam two things may happen after the force is removed: the beam will recover from the bending moment; or, it may not recover from the bending force, and not return to its ... -
Experiments in Fluid Dynamics
(1971)This paper is a report on work done with the flow of water through two types of constraining devices. These constraining devices are pipes which have a circular cross-section and ducts which have a rectangular cross-section. -
Exploration of Single and Double Ionization of Two-electron Model Atoms Exposed to Intense Laser Fields
(1999)This past summer, I computer modeled single and double ionization of two-electron model atoms exposed to strong laser fields. I simulated the formation of double-ionization jets that are formed when the two electrons emerge ... -
Exploring Constant pH Molecular Dynamics of Proteins in Explicit Solvent
(2012)Acidity is an important property in determining protein activity and influences of enzymes during reactions in a biological system. How acidic a system is controls the actions of the proteins in it, which is important ... -
Exploring TaS2 and YBa2Cu3O7-δ : Exotic Materials of Physics
(2019-09-01)Methods of measurement of TaS2 (Tantrum Disulfide) and YBa2Cu3O7-δ (Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide) samples to reveal their physical properties and introduce the physical models producing their characteristics were explored ... -
Exploring Three Dimensional Interior Melting of a System of Hard Sphere Through Computer Simulations
(2014)Currently, there aren't any theories that explain the process and mechanisms involved in three-dimensional melting. Experiments have shown that melting is usually initiated at surfaces or crystal defects. However, recently, ... -
Fabrication of a Ge(Li) Detector
(1969) -
A Feasibility Study of an Application of the Fabry-Perot Interferometer to High Ultraviolet Wavelengths
(1983)The objective of this project was to study the feasibility of using a Fabry-Perot interferometer at ultraviolet wavelengths. The Fabry-Perot has been used very effectively for many years at visible and infrared wavelengths ... -
Finding Correlations in Helium-3 and Electron Release During Impulsive Solar Energetic Particle Events
(2018)There are two major kinds of events that occur on the Sun, solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Both are caused by build ups of magnetic energy in the Sun's atmosphere, but while solar flares are a release of ... -
Finite Element Analysis and Its Application in the Design of a Water Heater Tank Stand
(2013)A key focus in designing mechanical instruments is to create structurally sound materials that hold up under all the circumstances they will likely endure. For the safety of the individuals who use these instruments it is ... -
Fluid Flow in Straight and Curved Pipes
(1976)This paper is involved with the motion of fluids through constraining devices . Fluids differ with solids in that they are substances , usually gases or liquids , that alter their shape in response to forces and tend to ... -
A Fluidic Oscillator: Providing Irregular Impulses to Rock a Preterm Infant's Water Bed
(1978)Our objective was to develop a compact, safe and inexpensive device to oscillate the infant's water bed. Such stimulation has already been shown to benefit premature infants' growth and development. -
Flux Flow Resistance in High Transition Temperature Superconductors
(1991)This paper begins with a general introduction to flux flow resistance. Since it is more important to understand the phenomenology than the theory, a detailed explanation of the theory of superconductivity and how it ...
