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. ... -
An Introduction of Optical Trapping and the Construction of a Dual Beam Optical Tweezers
(1999)Optical tweezers give us an unprecedented ability to manipulate objects on the microscopic scale. This ability allows us to study and quantify the mechanics of microscopic objects such as blood cells, DNA, proteins, ... -
Introduction to Computational Models of Synaptic Plasticity
(2017)The function of memorizing of a brain is basically due to synaptic plasticity. Ca2+ and dopamine inputs can lead to change in activity of AMPAR, through phosphorylation and dephosphorylation pathways. This process consists ... -
An Introduction to Holography and Holographic Interferometry
(2000)For my Senior Individualized Project I performed research in the physics department at Kalamazoo College working in the field of Holography. I worked with Dan Bloom, Ph.D. a visiting assistant professor of physics. Our ... -
An Introduction to the Kalamazoo College Accelerator
(1971)A copy of this thesis is also housed in the Kalamazoo College Archives. -
Investigating the Feasibility of a Composite Under Hood Engine Component
(1998)During the summer of 1998, I worked at Siemens Automotive in Auburn Hills, :MI. Siemens Automotive is a smaller division of the Siemens Corporation. Siemens Automotive designs and manufactures automobile parts for the ... -
Investigation into the causes of degrading radio signals during Geomagnetic Storms
(2022-02-25)The release of solar winds from the sun has drastic effects on the Earth’s geomagnetic field and the Ionosphere. GPS navigation uses radio signals that travel from a satellite to a ground receiver, passing through the ... -
An Investigation into Turbulent, Incompressible Flow Through Pipes
(1982)In the Fall of 1982, I worked in the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory at GMI Engineering and Management Institute, Flint, Michigan. My position there was to assist with the design and construction of a system to analyze ... -
Investigation of Biasing on Microchannel Plate . Operation in the Presence of Magnetic Fields
(1992)This paper begins with some general background about the Plasma Physics Laboratory and an introduction to the parallel field analyzer and microchannel plate detectors. This is followed by a discussion of the past results ... -
Investigation of Percent Depth Dose for HVL 3.0 mm Cu X-Rays and 4 Mev X-Rays
(1972)In radiation therapy, or the therapeutic treatment of patients with x-rays, a quantity known as percent depth dose is an important quantity invariably used in some form in treatment planning. In an experiment performed at ... -
Investigation of the Effect of Frequency on the Degaussing of High Tc Superconductors
(1991)Motion in a model maglev train had been impeded by the buildup of remanent magnetic fields in superconducting YBCO tiles that make up the train's "roadbed." To solve this problem a 60 Hz a-c current had been passed ...
