Since initial discovery in April 1979, the supernova SN1979C has been an object of intensive study in the radio range (Weiler et al 1981, 1982, 1983, 1986) and at other frequencies (Panagia et al 1980). From its initial ...

This paper is based on the development of the spark chamber project at Kalamazoo College. The project was started and developed to the point of a high voltage power supply and a trial "shelf type" spark chamber in 1964 ...

Certain groups of organic compounds may be detected and characterized using both electrochemical and spectroscopic techniques. However, when combined, these techniques provide a multi-dimensional means by which such ...

The purpose of this study was to create shock waves with amplitudes of about 5 psi and to measure both shock speed and pressure profile in an air-filled tube. Rankine - Hugoniot theory predicts that a shock wave travels ...

This paper reports the effects of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in dispersion decreasing fiber (DDF) with various inputs and power. The investigation into SBS includes experiments with a DFB laser, an externally ...

Capacitance methods can be applied to electrically measure mass flow of slurries in pipes. The mass flow relation is Q(kg/sec)=v(m/sec)·density(kg/m3)·pipe cross-sectional area (m2). A capacitive instrument designed with ...

The study of acoustic transients and shock waves has long been a matter of great interest at Kalamazoo College, due primarily to the efforts of Dr. Wright. Studies in the past have included experiments with spark discharges ...
