On account of the abundance of the antique tussock
moth, and the ease with which material for study can be
secured in the vicinity of Corvallis, an investigation
of this insect was thought to be a fitting subject for
my graduation thesis. The work was begun in the spring
of...
Experimental data on the structural phase changes in zirconia are summarized. The computational techniques of molecular dynamics are reviewed and equations of motion are formulated which allow the study of phase changes as a function of temperature and pressure. The molecular dynamics program NPT which was written for this purpose...
Research in digital computers takes two paths: one uses the
computer as a tool to reach certain objectives; on the other, the computer
itself is the object of research. The NEBULA computer was
built with the latter in mind. The system design and logical design
are described here in detail....
Smart weapons promise to provide leap ahead capability with regard to accuracy and engagement range for medium and large caliber projectiles. One of the most critical components of a smart weapon system is its sensor suite that provides position, orientation, and velocity information as the projectile flies down range so...
