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 ... -
Autocorrelation and Fourier Analysis for Detecting Periodic Cell Potentials in a Simulated Inhibitory Neural Network
(2003-12-23)The field of Computational Neuroscience is best described as a mathematical approach to the study of neural systems reducing neural systems to a set of computational tasks. Computer models are an important part of this ... -
Automated Computer control of Saccadic Eye Movement Measurements
(1980)The purpose of this paper was to investigate saccadic eye movements made in response to specific target stimuli, and hopefully learn something about how the eyeball's position is controlled in humans. Most of the work ... -
Automating Acoustic Transients Research with Labview Software and the GPIB
(1991)The focus of this project has been shifting continuously throughout the quarter between the study of laboratory automation and the study of specific phenomena using laboratory automation. The result is a project that ... -
Automating the Detection of Magnetic Flux Ropes Using Data Mining Techniques
(2014)Our reliance on space-borne and ground-based technological systems has made us susceptible to the adverse conditions in the space environment. These conditions can cause disruption of satellite operations, electric power ... -
Automation of the Franck Hertz Experiment
(1983)We have built and tested a computer controlled Franck Hertz experiment. This includes the circuitry to interface the experiment with an Apple II microcomputer equipped with a commercial Analog to Digital and Digital to ... -
Automation of the Keithley 194A High Speed Voltmeter Using labview 2.2.1, Applied to Opto-Acoustic Experiments
(1992)The intent of this project is to develop and explain a computer program written to control and analyze data from a digital instrument. That capability is then applied to several laboratory experiments involving sound and ... -
Behavior of Gut & Nylon Tennis Strings Under Applied Stress
(1976)This study was initiated for the purpose of studying the elastic and resilient properties of gut and nylon string used in the sport of tennis. -
Benford's Law
(2008)Some time around 1881, Simon Newcomb (1) was flipping through logarithmic tables and was struck at how much more quickly the first tables wear out than the subsequent ones. After some investigation, he found that the reason ... -
Biofuels: Renewable Energy?
(2008-05-23)In an effort to become more environmentally conscious, there has been a worldwide effort to use products that are more carbon neutral. Two different renewable energy biofuels that have attracted recent attention are corn ... -
Calculation of the Frequency Dependent Conductivity of a Composite Medium Using Random Walks
(1990)The Research for my Senior Individualized Project was done in the Physics department at Kalamazoo College. I need to explain my use of vectors and scalars. For example, I used r to denote the position vector of the ... -
Cavitation of Electron Bubbles In Liquid Helium-4
(2018)Electron bubbles in liquid helium form an interesting quantum mechanical system. The electron bubbles can be cavitated by introducing a critical negative pressure in the form of sound waves. Experiments suggest that there ... -
Cell Assemblies for Photovoltaic Concentrators
(1987)As an intern with SNL's PV Technology division, I was assigned the task of assisting with the design of a solar cell assembly for the SBM III. Research at SNL is largely a team effort, and it was necessary for me throughout ... -
Cell Sorting and Analysis Using the Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorter IV
(1984)The department of laboratory medicine at Barnes Hospital, St. Louis, Missouri, uses a Becton-Dickinson Fluorescence Activator Cell Sorter IV for their cell sorting and analysis. The FACS is used three to 4 times a week to ... -
Characterization & Analysis of the Magnetic Field of a Halbach Array and Its Utilization in Flywheel Energy Storage
(1996)The development of High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) has resulted in the production of highly efficient magnetic bearings with frictional losses several hundred times lower than losses which occur in bearings where ... -
Characterization and Analysis of Magnetic Fields of Multiple Piece Levitation Magnets used in Flywheel Energy Storage Systems
(1995)Superconducting magnetic bearings are being used in energy storage systems because they have little to no frictional losses, and therefore have high energy storage efficiencies. Any frictional losses that do occur are ... -
Characterization of New Large Scintillator Bars for the Low Energy Neutron Detector Array LENDA
(2016)The Low Energy Neutron Detector Array (LENDA) in the National Super- conducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University is a time-of-flight spectrometer that was designed with the intention of studying charge-exchange ... -
Characterization of PrIr4Sb8Sn4 Using X – Ray Diffraction
(2019)Crystals of a previously unknown type with the composition PrIr4Sb8Sn4 were grown using methods that are described. An initial attempt to determine the crystal structure was made using small crystals and x-ray diffraction ... -
Compactness of Icosahedral Viruses Reveals High Mass Packing of Protruding Features
(2021-06-01)A method of studying viral protein design was developed to describe the distribution of mass throughout viral capsid proteins. Protein compactness was measured using an interparticle distance measurement and a capsid ...
