The Effect of Handedness on User Speed and Accuracy in Interaction with Special-purpose Handheld Digital Devices

Creator:: Bengtson, Lucas
Abstract:: This project studied how a user's handedness affects his or her ability to use a special-purpose handheld digital device such as a digital camera or rangefinder. More specifically, it sought to identify how handedness affects speed and accuracy when navigating within a menu system. 24 participants were given 8 menu...

Disability to Super-Ability: Issues Along The Human Enhancement Spectrum

Creator:: Oakes, Ian R.
Abstract:: Advancements in the field of medical and computer technology promise a new age of human enhancement technology (HET). These technologies may be aptly applied to existing Assistive Technology (AT), which was created to ameliorate disability, moving one up the spectrum of ability. This study aimed to determine how these technologies...

Structural Similarities and Differences in Tropone and Tropolone: Gas-Phase Electron Diffraction Study

Creator:: Titus, Eric J.
Abstract:: The method of gas-phase electron diffraction is a very useful tool for determining the geometry of a molecule in the gas-phase to a high degree of accuracy. In this thesis, the structures of tropone and tropolone, which are similar molecules that are both based on a 7-carbon ring, were investigated...

X-ray Emissions in Measurements of the Neutron Capture Cross Sections for the Production of ¹⁹⁷Hg and ¹⁹⁷Pt and Scoping the Science Parameter Space of Future X-ray Astrophysics Calorimeter Missions

Creator:: Keck, Mason L.
Abstract:: A spectral fitting routine was developed to analyze X-ray emissions in neutron capture decay processes that produce ¹⁹⁷Hg and ¹⁹⁷Pt. Through correcting for X-ray emissions, the 77.3 keV γ gamma ray intensities were analyzed. The thermal cross sections for the production of ¹⁹⁷Hg and ¹⁹⁷Pt were found to be 2088...

The Neutron Capture Cross Section of ²⁰⁸Pb

Creator:: Lambert, Miriam
Abstract:: In this project we measure the neutron capture cross section of ²⁰⁸Pb. We began by calibrating our silicon detector with ²⁰⁴Tl. Two experiments were then performed, the first in December of 1999 and the second in March of 2000. Both experiments were performed in the nuclear reactor of the Radiation...
