Phase transitions in the Ising model with random gap defects using the Monte Carlo method
(2012-08-09)The Ising model, the simplest model of ferromagnetism, describes a magnetic lattice with nearest-neighbor interactions and is governed by Boltzmann statistics. The Monte Carlo method provides one approach to simulate ... -
Profiling the Acoustic Texture of Materials to Create Audio-Emulating Software: Preliminary Analysis
(2010-06-11)Acoustical effects can be created in the recording studio either authentically or by digitally emulating them over recorded sound. This paper provides preliminary analysis of sound data in the first step to creating a piece ... -
Repose Behavior of Lunar Simulants
(2010-06-11)Repose behavior for lunar simulants has been characterized using an experimental rig onboard the Zero-G Plane, a microgravity aircraft. Utilizing the continual motion of rotating drums, measurements of repose flow behavior ... -
Scaling and Modeling of Propellant Sloshing and Zero Gravity Equilibrium for the Orion Service Module Propellant Tanks
(2010-06-11)A scaled model of the downstream Orion service module propellant tank was constructed to assess the propellant dynamics under reduced and zero-gravity conditions. Flight and ground data from the experiment is currently ... -
Structural Analysis of NGC 2371-2 Using Deep Images in [O-III] and Tri-color
(2010-03-18)The odd structure of NGC 2371/2, a planetary nebula (PN) has been studied. This nebula has ejected gas during the final stages of stellar evolution. These gases do not appear to be symmetric as would be expected. Using a ... -
Theoretical Determination of the Radiation Pressure Inside of the NIF Hohlraum
(2010-03-17)The NIF facility was created to study fusion under controlled conditions. One hundred and ninety two of the world’s most powerful lasers are focused onto a very small gold cylindrical target. The high intensity laser heats ...
