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 ... -
Electrodynamic Transducer Analysis through Electronic Analogies
(1977)The objective of this project was to gain experience in analyzing and working with loudspeakers. The first step of this process was to learn how the electrical model for the loudspeaker is set up. This model predicts the ... -
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 ... -
An Electronic Gating Device
(1976)The purpose of this project is to redesign the Transistor Gate circuit, first designed by Dr. Wayne M. Wright, using Integrated Circuits (ICs). Dr. wright's circuit was made by using only transistors. By using the ICs, the ... -
An Electronic Proportional Control System
(1977)This Thesis describes the design and operation of a proportional control system. The control system was intended to be used with a radio link, which would carry the information for control, to control a small model airplane. ... -
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Efforts at Kalamazoo College, 2006-2017
(2018)This SIP is intended to offer the reader a general overview on the various sustainability activities that have occurred on campus in recent years, beginning with the recycling program started by Rob Townsend in 1993. Since ... -
Engineering a Rotating Sample Cell for Ultrafast Two-Dimensional Electronic Spectroscopy
(2021-11-01)Two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) is a collection of techniques that allow us to track energy and charge transfer by exciting pigments with lasers and tracking the frequencies emitted following a range of delay ... -
Engineering the Modern Golf Club
(2008)One of the most fascinating aspects of golf is the distance to which the golf ball t ravels and the precision professional players can demonstrate while negotiating the world's toughest courses. The game of golf includes ... -
Environmentally Friendly Practices at Kalamazoo College
(2008)With the rising importance of sustainability due to an increasing scientific understanding of the impact of humanity on the planet, Kalamazoo College has a very large task at hand to successfully become more environmentally ... -
Equilibrium in a Damped, Heteroparametrically Driven Simple Pendulum
(1978)The object of this SIP was first to experimentally obtain an equilibrium state between the energy that is being pumped into the pendulum's swing via a periodic variation of its length and the energy that is lost to air ... -
Establish Testing Procedures for Dielectric and Piezoelectric Materials
(2000)The purpose of this project was to set up a laboratory with corresponding testing equipment that would demonstrate the structure-property relationships of dielectric and piezoelectric materials. The assigned project goals ...
