Current Distributions of Resistor Networks : An Analogy to Information Flow
(2011)
This paper details the methods, models, and results of this two part project. The premise of this project is that the information flow between two points in a network can be analogous to the current flow between those two ...
The Mechanical Properties of Spherical Viral Capsids
(2016)
This study lays the foundation for examining various mechanical properties
of spherical viral capsids. The icosahedral modes of various T = 1 through T = 4
spherical capsids were calculated and characterized using a ...
Sustainable Energy Practices in Thailand and Application of Thermosyphons to High-Power Light-Emitting Diodes
(2013)
The goal of this paper is first to give a general overview of energy use in Thailand, and review sustainable alternatives in generation and application. As a developing country, infrastructure is rapidly developing as well, ...
Transition Temperature in Cell Membranes Predicts Effectiveness of Cancer Drugs Erlotinib and Trail
(2013)
Lipids appear in cell membranes in various phases including Liquid ordered (Lo), Liquid disordered (Ld) and gel phase. As temperature varies, their distribution within cell membranes changes. Near a certain temperature in ...
Exploring Three Dimensional Interior Melting of a System of Hard Sphere Through Computer Simulations
(2014)
Currently, there aren't any theories that explain the process and mechanisms involved in three-dimensional melting. Experiments have shown that melting is usually initiated at surfaces or crystal defects. However, recently, ...
Exploring Constant pH Molecular Dynamics of Proteins in Explicit Solvent
(2012)
Acidity is an important property in determining protein activity and influences of enzymes during reactions in a biological system. How acidic a system is controls the actions of the proteins in it, which is important ...
Simulations of Melting Colloidal Suspensions
(2014)
This paper discusses about approaches in identifying the mechanisms of melting through Monte Carlo simulations of colloidal suspensions. Utilizing the simulations we are able to create perfect crystals with the absence of ...
Electron Beam Diagnostics Using Digital Imaging at Fermilab's Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator
(2013)
The Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator (ASTA) was constructed to study superconductive radiofrequency (SRF) accelerating cavities and their support systems. SRF cavitites allow for higher acceleration gradients and ...
Advanced Brazing Methods for Assembly of Superalloy Based Parts
(2013)
René 108 is a nickel-based superalloy commonly used in gas turbines and other applications where high mechanical strength is need at high temperatures. Wide-gap brazing is commonly used to repair in-service parts to extend ...
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. ...
