Mass spectrosoopes are instruments used to determine masses of charged particles. These instruments are used for such things as determination of the chemical composition of compounds and accurate measurement of isotopic ...

As an employee of the Bose corporation this past summer, I was able to take part in the company's strive to improve scientific understanding of sound reproduction using speakers. This paper will be divided into five main ...

My SIp started out to be simply to help the Center for Environmental Study (Grand Rapids, MI) staff with one of their ongoing projects, but after several talks with Mr. Nunn, it was decided that a translation from DYNAIvIO ...

The long-term goal of our research is aimed at the development of a sensor capable of detecting cracks in the structures of aerospace vehicles. Particular points of interest are airframes and' wing structures where plates ...

Electrostatic transducers have been used as receivers and transmitters of ultrasonic waves at frequencies up to one megacycle per second. Transducers with solid dielectric are widely used, particularly for ultrasonics ...

Two computer simulations are presented in a way that conveys a deeper understanding of statistical mechanics. Background information is given which covers concepts needed for the discussion of the simulations. Two computer ...

The cosmic microwave background has provided information on the history of the universe that can be used to make constraints on the cosmological parameters. This project’s aim is to explore some possible constraints, ...

Triangulation number is crucial for understanding the size of viral capsids and total number of proteins, but lacks in its ability to describe the conformational changes that occur throughout the maturation phase of spherical ...

This SIP consisted of nine experiments utilizing various techniques for determining certain facts about several celestial objects. Each exercise will first include some background information and then tell how it was ...
