Investigation of the Effect of Frequency on the Degaussing of High Tc Superconductors
(1991)Motion in a model maglev train had been impeded by the buildup of remanent magnetic fields in superconducting YBCO tiles that make up the train's "roadbed." To solve this problem a 60 Hz a-c current had been passed ... -
Investigation of the Effect of Magnetic Field on the Growth of Penicillium
(1972)Every living organism on earth is subjected to the normal geomagnetism. It has been demonstrated that birds can use geomagnetism as their guiding instrument during their flights. because there is slight change of direction ... -
An Investigation of Wind-Induced Foam Lines on Lake Mendota
(1966-01-03)This paper is concerned chiefly with wind streaks-lines of foam and debris that align themselves parallel to the direction of the wind. It is the intent of this paper, through research done on Lake Mendota in Madison, ... -
Investigations into the tunneling magnetoresistance effects in thin films of (La1−yPry)1−xCaxMnO3
(2022)Thin lms of (La1−yPry)1−xCaxMnO3 (LPCMO) are known to undergo phase separation between a ferromagnetic metallic (FMM) phase and a charged-ordered insulator (COI) phase. When cooled down from room temperature to achieve ... -
Job Account: Program Translation, Input Logic, and Message Checks
(1973)For my Senior Independent Project, I wrote several computer programs for the Upjohn Pharmaceutical Company. The body of this report had been circulated at the Upjohn Company as three separate memos. -
Laser Induced Evaporation of Carbon for Mass Spectroscopic Study
(1964)This paper will present a study of the problems encountered when focused ruby laser radiation 1s employed as a vaporizing agent to produce metallic vapor for mass spectroscopic analysis. -
Laser Operation and Related Optical Phenomena

Least Squares Fitting on an Integral Equation
(1980)The object was to develop an algorithm for calculating the optimal parameter values (A,B,fD) of an equation Y=AX(fn)+B, such that the change in the error was less than a predetermined amount. Different methods of fitting ... -
Light Diffraction by Ultrasonic Waves
(1964)In this paper, diffraction of light by ultrasonic waves is examined. The equation for the wavelength of sound in water is derived and the Raman and Nath equations for the intensity distribution due to 1) pure progressive ... -
Lighting with the Apple II: An Alternative Means of Computerizing Theatre Lighting Control
(1981)For my senior independent project I chose to address the field of technical theatre, and in particular, lighting control. With the growth of electronics technology, theatre lighting has become increasingly automated, ... -
Low Energy Beam Observation
(2003)My summer research project was to design and test a pico-ammeter to measure the intensity of ion beams in the Low Energy Beam and Ion Trap (LEBIT) Project. The picoammeter was built with the specification to measure ... -
Low Temperature Thermopower of Pt - Co Alloys: Spin Fluctuation Systems
(1976)The transport properties of a series of Pt - Co alloys are studied. Initial measurements of the thermopower of 0.3, 0.7, 1.5, and 4.0 at .% (atomic percent) Pt - Co alloys are displayed. The observed thermopower anomaly ... -
A Low-Cost, DC/Low-Frequency Response FM/FM Telemetry System for Orthopedic Gait Analysis, Biomechanical Measurements, and Other Applications
(1976)This paper is intended to describe the design, operating principles, and implementation of a telemetry instrumentation system. The essential characteristics of the system are: 1) It is effective for the acquisition of ... -
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 ...
