Calculation of the Frequency Dependent Conductivity of a Composite Medium Using Random Walks
(1990)The Research for my Senior Individualized Project was done in the Physics department at Kalamazoo College. I need to explain my use of vectors and scalars. For example, I used r to denote the position vector of the ... -
Cavitation of Electron Bubbles In Liquid Helium-4
(2018)Electron bubbles in liquid helium form an interesting quantum mechanical system. The electron bubbles can be cavitated by introducing a critical negative pressure in the form of sound waves. Experiments suggest that there ... -
Cell Assemblies for Photovoltaic Concentrators
(1987)As an intern with SNL's PV Technology division, I was assigned the task of assisting with the design of a solar cell assembly for the SBM III. Research at SNL is largely a team effort, and it was necessary for me throughout ... -
Cell Sorting and Analysis Using the Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorter IV
(1984)The department of laboratory medicine at Barnes Hospital, St. Louis, Missouri, uses a Becton-Dickinson Fluorescence Activator Cell Sorter IV for their cell sorting and analysis. The FACS is used three to 4 times a week to ... -
Characterization & Analysis of the Magnetic Field of a Halbach Array and Its Utilization in Flywheel Energy Storage
(1996)The development of High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) has resulted in the production of highly efficient magnetic bearings with frictional losses several hundred times lower than losses which occur in bearings where ... -
Characterization and Analysis of Magnetic Fields of Multiple Piece Levitation Magnets used in Flywheel Energy Storage Systems
(1995)Superconducting magnetic bearings are being used in energy storage systems because they have little to no frictional losses, and therefore have high energy storage efficiencies. Any frictional losses that do occur are ... -
Characterization of New Large Scintillator Bars for the Low Energy Neutron Detector Array LENDA
(2016)The Low Energy Neutron Detector Array (LENDA) in the National Super- conducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University is a time-of-flight spectrometer that was designed with the intention of studying charge-exchange ... -
Characterization of PrIr4Sb8Sn4 Using X – Ray Diffraction
(2019)Crystals of a previously unknown type with the composition PrIr4Sb8Sn4 were grown using methods that are described. An initial attempt to determine the crystal structure was made using small crystals and x-ray diffraction ... -
Compactness of Icosahedral Viruses Reveals High Mass Packing of Protruding Features
(2021-06-01)A method of studying viral protein design was developed to describe the distribution of mass throughout viral capsid proteins. Protein compactness was measured using an interparticle distance measurement and a capsid ... -
Comparison of Noise Levels for Water Vapor Radiometers and the Troposphere
(1989)The Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) has been appointed as NASA's division for unmanned space flight. Research in Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) is one aspect important to JPL. One of the largest error sources for ... -
A Comparison of Pulmonary Functions, Before and After Bronchodilator, Using Small- and Large-Particle Nebulizers, Driven with Either Air or 80%He - 20% 02 on Patients with Reversible Airways Disease
(1979)The comparison of pulmonary functions is used frequently in evaluating patient response to aerosol bronchodilators. The usual method for delivery of aerosol bronchodilators employs some arbitrarily chosen nebulizer driven ... -
Comparison of Wet Troposphere Calibration Techniques and Their Effects on VLB I Geodetic Measurements
(1984)The water vapor in the troposphere is currently the largest source of error in VLBI geodetic measurements. Scientists have been working on this problem for over 10 years. Major improvements have been made. This report ... -
A Comparison of Whitechapel and Malmark Handbells
(1981)Although handbells have existed for thousands of years, and tuned handbells since the seventeenth century, little in the way of scientific research has been done with them. Some of the research includes finding modes ... -
A Computer Assisted Approach for Nailing Fractured Hips
(1980)This study was motivated by the high incidence of unsatisfactory results with present techniques for pinning fractured hips. Excess mortality and failure to walk resulted mostly from complications due to improperly placed ... -
Computer Modelling of Electromagnetic Wave Propagation across Irregular Terrain
(1981)A method of modeling the VHF radio wave field strength is presented for use in evaluating the effective zone of communication and the additional area in which interference with other sources transmitting on the same frequency ... -
Computer Security on a VAX system
(1987)In a time when automation and our reliance on computer systems is steadily growing it is very important for us to ensure that the information we entrust to computers is properly protected. Methods to protect this ... -
Computer Simulation of Hydrogen Bonding in Mixed Layers of PE and PC Lipids
(1994)Modeling cell membranes is one way we can come to a better understanding of how they work, and their unique phase behavior makes them an interesting system to model. Membranes are primarily composed of a phospholipid ... -
Computer Simulation of Weak Shock Propagation in a Shock-Tube
(1974)The purpose of this research was to become familiar with the iterative method and to apply this technique to further the understanding of the previous shock-tube experiments. It was anticipated that the previous results ... -
Computer Simulations of Binary Alloys and Phospholipid Phase Transitions
(1997)The intent of this paper is to express the significance, methods, and results of our research on computer simulations of various physical phenomena, while concurrently providing enough background information. The paper ... -
The Computerized Physics Testing System
(1984)The following thesis is intended to provide information for those interested in either the general form of the physics testing system or in its mechanical details. Both educational philosophy and programing mechanics played ...
