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 ... -
Neutron Flux Analysis for Power Reactor Instrumentation Design
(1975)This Senior Individualized Project has been a first step theoretical analysis in an ongoing design engineering project conducted at the Nuclear Energy Division of the General Electric Company. A proposed "neutron window," ... -
New Gas Slowing Technology for Examination of New Exotic Isotopes
(2002)The ability to make high precision mass measurements will soon be realized at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University. The Low Energy Beam and Ion Trap (LEBIT) project will have the ... -
Nikola Tesla: The Man and His Coil
(2008)Throughout history there have been many people who have made their mark by contributing to humanity’s advancement. Many of these people have been largely forgotten, while some went on to become legends. Scientists such ... -
A Non-Invasive Method To Monitor Gum Disease With An Ultrasonic Periodontal Probe
(2000)The long-term goal of the ultrasonic periodontal project is to create a non-invasive probe, which can accurately monitor gum disease. The project blends the scientific fields of biology, physics and engineering, in an ... -
Non-linear Reasonant Systems: Bifurcation and Chaos Development of a Fast Fourier Transform Driver
(1984)The response of non-linear resonant systems driven sinusoidally at resonance has complicated dependence on the amplitute of the driving signal. Chaos and bifurcation in driven non-linear resonant systems are examined here ... -
Nondestructive Evaluation of Steam Generator Tubes
(1998)The Steam Generator Tube Integrity Program at Argonne National Laboratory is developing a method for determining when the steam generator tubes are flawed without necessitating the removal and destruction of the generator ... -
The NRL Coronagraph: Resolution Testing of a Second Generation
(1985)During the Fall of 1985, I participated in the preliminary resolution testing of the prototype coronagraph. We experimentally determined many of its critical parameters, such as its angular field of view. Our main objective ... -
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance of Cl35 in FeCL2
(1964)This thesis describes an experimental study of the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of Cl35 in a single crystal of FeC12. This crystal has an essentially cubic close-packed structure with trigonal distortion and an ... -
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Relaxation Time
(1970)The purpose of this particular experiment is to study a property of nuclear magnetic resonance, the characteristic relaxation time of the protons in water, in the presence of paramagnetic ions. The experiment 1s based ... -
A Nuclear Window to the Past
(1997) -
Observation of the 7320A O=(2P) Airglow Emission at Twilight
(1987)This paper discusses the method of obtaining an altitude profile for atomic oxygen in the upper atmosphere by observing the sunlight-stimulated 7320A airglow emission of the 0+(2p) ion (whose abundance is directly proportional ... -
Online Event Reconstruction of Data Taken by the High Resolution Fly's Eye Cosmic Ray Detector
(1999)The High Resolution Fly's Eye Detector (HiRes) has been observing high-energy (10 17 eV and greater) cosmic rays since the summer of 1997. Cosmic rays are made up predominately of positively charged particles that, when ... -
Operating Characteristics of the Maryland Point 85-Foot Radio Telescope at Low Frequencies
(1987)The following report results from a study of the characteristics of the NRL operated Maryland Point 85' radio telescope, located near Nanjemoy, MD. This study was made in Fall1987 by Brian Tracey and Mike DeVries.. The ... -
Optimization of Interferometer Design for Measurement of Spin Injection Dynamics in Semiconductors
(2016)This report presents the results of an experimental study on noise limitations when measuring nanoradian polarization rotations by three different methods. The ability to measure these rotations within the photon shot noise ... -
The Performance of Plastic Scintillation Detectors
(1965)This project is concerned with the performance of plastic scintillation detectors in the detection of protons and indication of their energy. Of specific interest are proton-proton scattering events in which both ... -
Photoacoustic Signal Detection and a Method for Simulating Light Absorption in a Resonant Optoacoustic Chamber
(1981)The objective of research presented here was to determine if a signal, attributable to the optoacoustic effect, could be detected and measured. This was to be accomplished through the use of the equipment available in ...
