Physics Based CAVE Virtual Reality
(1997)The term Virtual Reality (VR) is used by many different people with many meanings. For the purposes of this paper, we restrict VR to computer mediated systems. Virtual Reality is a way for humans to visualize, manipulate ... -
Physics SIPs, 1962-2009
(2009)This is a list of Senior Individualized Projects completed in the Physics Department at Kalamazoo College from 1962 to 2009. -
The Place of Reason in Human Experience According to A.N. Whitehead
(1970)During the course of the adventure from which this e ssay forms an abstract, the question arose as to why a student of physical science such as I should devote such an important part of his studies as the senior ... -
Plasma Diagnostics for Applications in Space Propulsion
(2000)The single largest stumbling block in the present endeavor to explore space is the simple dollar-per-pound cost necessary to put spacecraft in orbit. While many initiatives to design better, faster, cheaper rockets ... -
Plasma Simulation and Transport at the Magnetospheric Boundary
(2007)Plasma and magnetospheric physics are reviewed, and the KelvinHelmholtz Instability (KHI), the focus of the research, is introduced. Using the results or KHI and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations combined with ... -
Plasma Wave Observations During Geomagnetic Storms with MMS
(2020-04-01)During magnetic storms, the Earth’s atmosphere loses enhanced amounts of oxygen which escapes to the magnetosphere. In space, governed by the Earth’s magnetic field, these oxygen ions gyrate around magnetic field lines and ... -
Plotting Magnetic Fields Using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
(1966)Since its discovery in 1945 by two independent researchers, Felix Bloch of stanford and Edward M. Purcell of Harvard, nuclear magnetic resonance has been recognized to be an extremely useful tool in research. For their ... -
Point Array Study of Antibody Binding in Viruses
(2022-06-01)To combat viral infections, organisms with adaptive immune systems have developed antibodies that can neutralize or render viruses as non-infectious. This can be done in multiple fashions. The primary way to stop the ... -
Positron and Positronium Annihilation in Liquid Helium at the Lambda Point
(1964)This paper is a result from an experiment that counted and analyzed positron and positronium annihilation events as close as possible above and below the lambda point 2.186 o K in liquid helium. The theory of annihilation, ... -
Possibilities for the Development of a Low-Cost, Plastic, Water Heating Solar Collector
(1976)The intent of this project was to examine whether HCX Board could serve as the basis for a low cost, plastic solar water heater for both low temperature applications (such as pool heating) and high temperature applications ... -
Practical Experience in the Expansion of a Physical Plant in the Poultry Industry Following European Community Guidelines Guldfageln AB Morbylanga, Sweden
(1999)Sweden is a small democratic country approximately the size of California. With only eight million inhabitants people have the luxury of spreading out over the beautiful landscape. Due to the space afforded each individual ... -
Preparation of an Experiment to Observe and Measure the P(J) Branch of the 0-1 Band of AIR in Absorption: A Report Submitted in Conjunction with Work Done at the Infrared Spectroscopy Laboratory of The Ohio State University
(Kalamazoo College., 1962)The paper describes the preparation of an experiment to observe and measure some vibration-rotation spectral lines of the diatomic A1H molecule in absorption. -
Probabilities of Nuclear Energy Level Transitions for Spin, I, Equals 3/2 for the combined Magnetic Dipole and Quadrupole Interaction
(1964)Steffen, Matthias, and Schneider have authored a book of tables entitled "Tables of Eigenvalues and of Eigenvectors of Hamiltonian Describing the Combined Static Magnetic Dipole and Electric Quadrupole Interaction of a ... -
Probing Surface Conductivity in Ultra-thin ALD ZnO Films
(2017)Previous resistivity measurements of ultra-thin ZnO films reveal a change from semiconductive to metallic behavior at low temperatures for the Zn-terminated surface. The present work confirms this change using IR transmittance ... -
Problems and Experiments in Astrophysics and Stellar Phenomena
(1977)This Senior Individualized Project was undertaken in basically three parts: 1) The performance of laboratory experiments which illustrate current astrophysical problems. The solving of these problems primarily involves ... -
The Production of Polarized Deuterium Through Optical Pumping
(1992)During the period from September 1989 until December 1989, I participated in a program called the Science and Engineering Research Semester at Argonne National Laboratory. It is a government sponsored program for undergraduate ... -
Propagation of a Plane, Small-Signal, Sinusoidal Sound Wave in a Viscous Mediuml
(1965-01)This paper presents a solution to a previously unsolved mathematical problem which arises in hydrodynamics. -
Propagation of Low Amplitude Shock Waves in a Tube
(1969)Essentially, a shock tube consists of a long, rigid pipe which is divided into two sections: an air-tight driver, or compression section, and a long expansion section. The two lengths are separated by a thin diaphragm, ... -
A Proton Beam Current Integrator for the Kalamazoo College Accelerator
(1973)The purpose or this project was actually two-fold. The first chronologically was to develop an efficient method for design and manufacture of a single one-sided printed circuit board. The second was to search in the ...
