A Study of Certain Secondary Phenomena in the Motion of the Bowed Violin String
(1976)As long as there have been violins, people have wondered how a few rosin-coated strands of horsehair on a violin bow could produce a steady tone when drawn across a string. Hermann von Helmholtz,, although not the first ... -
Study of Dilepton Production in Nuclear Collisions with the Dilepton Spectrometer
(1991)The DiLepton Spectrometer was created to study e+e- dielectron pairs emitted in nuclear collisions. Direct dilepton pairs are an excellent probe of the hot, dense matter created in nuclear collisions because they do not ... -
A Study of Energy Use at Kalamazoo College
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2007-06-04)The evolving focus of Kalamazoo College on energy conservation and efficiency brought about the need for a project to study how the campus currently uses energy. This process, often taking the form of an energy audit, ... -
A Study of Some Available Differential Particle Data from Nucleon-Nucleon Collisions at High Energy
(1981)Differential particle production of nucleons, pions, and kaons from high-energy nucleon-nucleon collisions is studied for use in the intranuclear-cascade model of nuclear reactions. Conservation of momentum and conservation ... -
A Study of the Angular Dependence of Nuclear Resonance Fluoresence from Europium-152 in Glass and Crystal
(1978)Nuclear effects are often used as analytical tools in atomic, chemical and biological studies. Radioisotope dating using naturally occurring isotopes can give the time elapsed since the object formed. The most common use ... -
A Study of the Distribuiton of Sound Generated by an Impulsive Line Source
(1966)The shock pulse and other general spark phenomena have been studied at Kalamazoo College for a number of years under the direction of Assistant Professor Wayne M. Wright. Recent accomplishments include investigations ... -
A Study of the Energy Levels in F-17 by the 0-16(d,n)F-17 Reaction
(Kalamazoo College., 1963-01-01)In this study, the energies of the excited states in fluorine 17 nucleus are investigated by bombarding gaseous oxygen with deuterons from tandem Van de Graaf and measuring the energy of the neutrons from the O16(d,n)F17 ... -
A Study of the Existence of Massive Neutrinos and Their Interactions
(2002)This paper will begin by describing the early neutrino experiments conducted primarily by Fredrick Reines and Clyde Cowan, also known as "Project Poltergeist." Next I will introduce neutrino theory and its vocabulary ... -
A Study of the Initial Pressure Pulse from an Underwater Acoustic Transient
(1975)The purpose of this project was to study acoustic transients underwater. A flat receiver response is required in order to get an accurate representation of the transient. The transducers were calibrated over the frequency ... -
A Study of the Shape of Low Amplitude Shock Waves in a Shock Tube
(1967)A simple form of the shock tube consists of two pieces of tubing separated by a thin air-tight diaphragm. After a pressure difference is created across the diaphragm, it is ruptured. The resulting rush of air from the ... -
A Study of Vignetting on Images Taken with the C3 Coronagraph Aboard the SORO Satellite
(1997)I worked at the Naval Research Lab, in Washington DC, with the solar physics group. The solar physics group is responsible for conducting research using data from a number of solar satellites. My project consisted of ... -
The Supersolid State
(2012)Out of all of the elements on the periodic table, helium has some of the most interesting properties. These properties occur in both of helium’s isotopes, but are easiest to see in helium’s most abundant isotope, 4He. ... -
Surveying Features of Spherical Viruses
(2023-01-01)The main research goal was to investigate the relationship between gauge points and other capsid properties. Data was collected from online databases: ViperDB (VIrus Particle ExploreR database), RCSB (Research Collaboratory ... -
Sustainable Energy Practices in Thailand and Application of Thermosyphons to High-Power Light-Emitting Diodes
(2013)The goal of this paper is first to give a general overview of energy use in Thailand, and review sustainable alternatives in generation and application. As a developing country, infrastructure is rapidly developing as well, ... -
Sustainable Irrigation in the Developing World
(2022)This SIP analyzes an application of physical theories to the design of a sustainable irrigation system like the one constructed in the village of Pawaga. Unlike most physics SIPs whose subject matter is supported by organized ... -
Synthesis & Characterization of Entropy Stabilized YBCO Superconductors
(2023-01-01)The nuanced causes of the ability of certain materials to obtain superconductivity, or zero resistance, are still a topic of debate. To further developments in this area of study, the synthesis and characterization of novel ...
