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 ... -
The Systemic Representation of Knowledge for Truly Individualized Computer Assisted Instruction
(1990)Current computer assisted instruction software (CAl) utilizes advances in interactive technology and artificial intelligence to achieve individualized instruction. Because it has adopted authoring techniques from ... -
Targeting Studies for a Second-Generation Mu2e Experiment
(2015)Charged-lepton-flavor violation (CLFV) is a clear signal of physics beyond the Standard Model. The Mu2e experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory searches for CLFV through muon-to-electron conversion, aiming ... -
Temperature Sensing and Regulation in Experimental Physics with Specific Applicaitons
(1979)This project is a support to the research being done currently by Dr. Fenner at Kalamazoo College. His experiment is a study of high frequency sound absorption in various mixtures of liquids. These studies are to be done ... -
A Test of the Accuracy of the Virtual Brain : A Comparison to Becker et al.
(2017)The creation of the Virtual Brain has the possibility of revolutionizing the way physicians and neuroscientists treat and view TBI and mental diseases. It has the ability to compile data from several clinical tests such ... -
A Test-System for Automotive-Type Reactive Mufflers
(1975)As the modern world became mechanized, the associated noise pollution was largely ignored, until recently. New interest in noise control and environmental protection has pinpointed the internal combustion engine as a prime ... -
That Is a Mass Spectrometer?
(1968)Mass spectrosoopes are instruments used to determine masses of charged particles. These instruments are used for such things as determination of the chemical composition of compounds and accurate measurement of isotopic ... -
Transducer Characterization Using First Principle Measurement Techniques
(2002)As an employee of the Bose corporation this past summer, I was able to take part in the company's strive to improve scientific understanding of sound reproduction using speakers. This paper will be divided into five main ...
