Using Computer Simulations to Better Understand Statistical Mechanics
(2007)Two computer simulations are presented in a way that conveys a deeper understanding of statistical mechanics. Background information is given which covers concepts needed for the discussion of the simulations. Two computer ... -
Using Point Arrays to Characterize Drug-Bound Hepatitis B Virus and Human Enterovirus 71 Capsid Structures
(2021-11-01)A virus capsid is composed of identical protein subunits which occupy chemically equivalent environments and assemble according to icosahedral symmetry. This protein shell holds critical roles throughout the viral life ... -
Using the Cosmic Microwave Background to Explore the Composition of the Universe
(2008)The cosmic microwave background has provided information on the history of the universe that can be used to make constraints on the cosmological parameters. This project’s aim is to explore some possible constraints, ... -
Utilizing Point Arrays to Further Classify Spherical Viruses Exhibiting Icosahedral Symmetry
(2019-07-01)Triangulation number is crucial for understanding the size of viral capsids and total number of proteins, but lacks in its ability to describe the conformational changes that occur throughout the maturation phase of spherical ... -

Various Techniques Used in Making Measurements of Celestial bodies
(1976)This SIP consisted of nine experiments utilizing various techniques for determining certain facts about several celestial objects. Each exercise will first include some background information and then tell how it was ... -
A Volumetric Study of Liquid Crystal Phase Transitions in Thermotropic and Lyotropic Liquid Crystals
(1982)The results are reported of voltmetric studies of the nematic - isotropic and smectic C - nematic transitions for di-heptyloxyazoxybenzene (70AB), the nematic - isotropic and smectic A - nematic transitions for ... -
Water Management in PEM Fuel Cells : The Effects of Gravity on Vertically Positioned Flow Channels
(2012)A unique device is used to emulate water droplet emergence from a porous electrode and slug formation in the gas flow channel of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell. Liquid water emerges from a pore forming a droplet, ... -
Zeeman Quadrupole Studies in HgCl2 and NaClO3 Using and Induction Spectrometer
(1967)The purpose of this work was to determine a method of measuring the asymmetry parameter of the electric field gradient at the nuclear site in powdered samples. The work was restricted to nuclei having a spin of 3/2. The ...
