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 ... -
An Estimate of the Earth's Age from Therman Considerations, Assuming Initial Conditions
(1966)Geochronology can tell us much about cosmology, but it can be no better than its data. Other methods of dating the Earth exist, but all are subject to error of one form or another. Calculation of the Earth's age from ... -
An Examination of Active Galactic Nuclei in Galaxy Clusters
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2006-01-01)Cosmology is reviewed and Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), the subject of the research, are introduced. A study of AGN is done using data from SDSS and a cluster Catalog. The focus is on AGN identified by their emission ... -
An Experimental Investigation 12C(p,p)12C Reaction with an Open Air Van de Graaff
(1967)The purpose of this project is to attempt an experimental verification of Ernest Rutherford's differential cross section equation with elastically scattered protons. This is obviously not the height of originality, but ... -
An Experimental Investigation of Spectral Lines of Helium
(1966)This project involves the optics of some aspects of the concave grating spectrograph and the structure of the helium atom in attempting to account for its spectrum. Since my knowledge of the subject is severely limited, ...
