The Magnetic Behavior of Superconducting YBa2Cu3O7 Pellets Under a Short-term Pulsed Magnetic Field
(1998)This paper begins with an introduction to the properties and theories of superconductors, including Bean's Critical State Model. A theory of magnetic diffusion is advanced as a possible improvement of this model. The ... -
The Magnetic Core Gyroscope
(1965)In the description of the dynamics of the atomic nucleus, the dimensions of spin and magnetic moment are consistently recurrent. These properties would also be associated with a gyroscope with a magnetic core. It is ... -
Maximum Entropy Spectral Analysis: Theory and Application
(1974)In this paper, I present the rationale for and the theory behind the maximum entropy method of spectral estimation for stochastic processes. The paper is divided into three sections I Introduction, Theory, and Computer ... -
The Measurement and Development of Parametric Values for Modeling of Mosfet dc Operations
(1982)The object of this study was to find a set of parameters that are characteristic of a particular type of MOSFET, which was constructed by Kodak for internal purposes. The set of parameters will be used as a data file to ... -
The Measurement of Birefringence and Dichroism of Substrate Samples
(1985)Current research in digital data storage is centered on developing a disk which can store data optically. However, in the process of reading back a signal from an optic disk, a degradation of the signal has been noticed. ... -
Measurement of Magnetic Field along a Transmission Line with a Small Loop Probe
(1967)This study is specifically concerned with the development of a small loop probe for measuring the magnetic field intensity between two half-wavelength, parallel transmission lines. Some discussion of the theory of both ... -
Measurement of Magnetic Fields Using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
(1965)The purpose of this thesis was to build and operate a piece of apparatus which would measure the strength of the magnetic field between the pole pieces of magnets. An attempt was made to see if decreasing the size of the ... -
Measurement of Sound Pulse Scattering from Narrow Plates with a High-Frequency Electrostatic Microphone
(1966)The recent development of wide-band electrostatic microphones, with relatively flat response extending to one-half megacycle per second, has produced a tool with valuable research capabilities in the field of acoustics. ... -
Measurement, Analysis and correlation of Meterological Data
(1972)Ideally, I would like to have made the study for Kalamazoo. The problem was, a large amount of past data was needed for analysis.If I were to measure data directly, analysis could not begin until the quarter was nearly ... -
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 ... -
Microwave Diagnostic Technique in Plasma Research: Plasma Research Program Report Number Two
(1965)This project was devised to concentrate on obtaining a measurement of the density and temperature of the plasma as a function of time. The technique to be used would be to pass electromagnetic radiation in the microwave ... -
The Middle Atmosphere High Resolution Spectrograph Investigation: Theory and pre flight calibration
(1991)This report describes the Middle Atmosphere High Resolution Spectrograph Investigation, an on going investigation at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, D.C. I have been working under the supervision of Bob ... -
The Modeled Effects of Gametophytic Self-Incompatibility and Localized Gene Dispersal on Population Substructure
(Kalamazoo College, 1986)This study examines the effects of gametophytic self-incompatibility and localized gene dispersal on population substructure. The variation in population substructure is calculated using a value of genetic differentiation, ... -
Modeling and Analysis of Dielectric Response Behavior
(2001)Recently a graduate student proposed a new mathematical model for dielectric response behavior. This paper provides a brief summary of what that mathematical model is and addresses some ways to improve upon it. Specifically ... -
Modelled Behavior of Driven Granular Systems
(2001)This paper discusses a simulation modelling the behavior of an inelastic system of spherical particles under gravity rolling on an inclined surface and driven by an oscillating wall. The results of the simulation show ... -
Modification and Application of the Van de Graaff Generator
(2010)A Van de Graaff generator is a type of electrostatic generator that accumulates electric charge on a large metal sphere. In this paper a brief history of the Van de Graaff generator is presented, along with a description ... -
Moments of the Dipole Oscillator Strength Distribution for the Third Row Elements
(1975)The atomic dipole oscillator strength distribution and its moments S(µ) and L (µ), -6 < µ <1, are calculated for K through Kr. The oscillator strengths are based on Hartree-Slater wave functions. Results are compared with ... -
The Mössbauer Fraction for Fe-57 at Room Temperature
(Kalamazoo College., 1962-12-01)Five Mössbauer spectra for FE-57 were accumulated for different values of absorber thicknesses. The areas of transmission dips were determined and by an area ratio method the Mössbauer cross-section was determined. It was ... -
A Multichannel Telemetry System for Monitoring EKG Signals
(1984)It was the goal of this project to develop a system that would enable reductions In the unit's size and weight as well as enable an expansion to as many as four channels In its monitoring capabilities (four channels would ... -
The National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory
(1981)The following text is not intended to be a scientific document, but rather an informative essay on the basics of nuclear physics, cyclotron theory and construction, and the development and organization of the National ...
