The Development and Application of an Image Processing and Analyzing System
(1982)This paper summarizes the development of an image analyzing and processing system which is designed to determinegparticle size and particle size distribution of materials that have been transported atmospherically and ... -
Development of a Simple Method for Optimizing Photovoltaic Array Arrangement
(1983)Direct conversion of sunlight into electricity can be accomplished by using photovoltaic cells made of semiconductor material, which work by the photoelectric effect. Photovoltaic cells are usually connected in larger units ... -
Development of a Timing Divice Suitable for Swimming Events
(1972)This paper describes the design of an answer to the problem of inaccurate timing devices at swimming contests. The idea to build the system was conceived of during my Career Service Quarter, Sophmore year. From then until ... -
Development of Automated Equipment for Saccadic Eye Movement Experiments
(1980)This paper reports the initial design and partial construction of automated equipment for eyeball position measurement. Interface circuitry is being developed to enable a Heath Model H-11 microcomputer to control and take ... -
Development of More Efficient Fluid Catalytic Cracking Nozzles
(1996)Since the turn of the century, oil refining has been a critical industry worldwide. The continuing importance and depleting resources create the need for constant research and development in all areas of the process. One ... -
The Diffraction of Acoustic Transients in the Nearfield of a Rectangular Aperture
(1974)Working on this SIP has been somewhat of a tightrope act, balancing my efforts between the theoretical and experimental aspects of the undertaking. If either aspect of my work seems over-emphasized in this report, it is ... -
Direct Measurements of Chemical Potential Using computer simulations
(2003)When two systems of particles are in contact and allow the transfer of particles between them, they will eventually reach what is called diffusive equilibrium. Diffusive equilibrium means the two systems have the ... -
A Direct Method to Measure Tropospheric Ozone by Absorption Spectroscopy in the Ultra-Violet Region
(1974)The Air Quality Act of 1967 placed a new and greater emphasis on the research and development of air pollution detecting and monitoring systems. By 1971, enough progress in this field had been made to allow the ... -
Dynamics and Structure of Bacterial Populations under Antibiotic Stress
(2018)The development of resistance to treatment among infectious diseases is well known as a classical Darwinian phenomena. However, a mechanistic understanding of how resistance is conferred and what the implied dynamical ... -
The Effect of a Stem I Substitution on the Cleavage Rate and Efficiency of a Minimal Hammerhead Ribozyme
(2015)Ribonucleic acid enzymes, or ribozymes, are RNA that is capable of catalyzing biochemical reactions. Hammerhead ribozymes were one of the earliest known classes of ribozymes, and are one of the best characterized. They are ... -
Effects of Grain Boundaries on Silicon Solar Cell Performances
(1980)The characteristics of single-crystal solar cells and large grain (~1mm size) polycrystalline silicon solar cells were compared to determine the effects grain boundaries had on solar cell performance. Using the van der ... -
Effects of Liquid Methylphenidate on Academic Achievement in ADHD Elementary School Children
(2009)This study focuses on whether a liquid-suspension methylphenidate improves academic achievement (AA) in 13 ADHD elementary school aged children (3 females, 10 males). Without being knowing all of the results yet, we ... -
The Effects of Sample Microstructure and Radiation Induced Defects on the Electrical Dissipation Properties of Yttrium-Barium-Copper-Oxide
(1996)This paper begins with a general introduction to some of the properties of superconductors. A discussion of the theory of high temperature superconductivity will be omitted because the scientific community is still unsure ... -
The Effects of Space Charge on Buncher Types for the ATLAS Positive Ion Injector
(1994)Bunching is the act of converting a continuous beam of ions into a pulsed beam. In ATLAS, the heavy-ion accelerator at Argonne National Labs, a four-harmonic buncher at low energy is currently employed for this purpose; ... -
Effects of Sterilization on the Physical Properties of an Elastin Biomaterial
(2000)The development of biomaterials for medical use requires the absolute sterility of the product as well as reliable product integrity and function. The development of biomaterials is a meticulous process in which the ... -
Electric Load Shifting Using Ice Bank Thermal Energy Storage : Evaluation of System at Kalamazoo College from 1995 to 2013
(2013)This study examined the performance of a Thermal Ice Bank Storage System installed at Kalamazoo College in 1995. Using detailed weather data and energy consumption data, cost savings were estimated for 2009 through 2012. ... -
Electrical and Microstructural Properties of Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O Superconductors
(1992)This paper begins with some general statements about the uses and history of superconductors. A detailed explanation of the theory of superconductivity has been omitted though some brief empirical characteristics are ... -
Electrical Discharges in Air
(Kalamazoo College., 1962-12-01)The subject of the paper is electrical discharges in air. Part I is concerned with the theory of how electrical discharges occur and how a spark forms between two electrodes. Parts II and III are concerned with how a spark ...
