A set of axioms of incidence and order for geometry was formulated
by David Hilbert in 1898. In this paper these axioms are reformulated
and particular care is taken with the two relations of order
and incidence. Such phrases as " point P lies on line [cursive small letter L]"...
This thesis examines the origins and outcomes of Operation Paperclip, a program the U.S. government operated in the years immediately following WWII to recruit former Nazi doctors, scientists, and technicians, and capitalize on their research experience. As part of this operation, the U.S. welcomed two doctors who had conducted medical...
This paper presents an extension of Hubert's incidence axioms to n dimensions and uses these and his order axioms to prove several theorems. We prove extensions of Pasch's Axiom, the Crossbar Theorem, and Desargues' Theorem for n dimensions. A non-Euclidean model is presented and proved to satisfy the axioms. In...
A new pulse method for measuring differential double layer
capacitances has been developed in this work. The technique is based
on the determination of the cell time constant which, for an ideally
polarized test electrode-solution interface, is composed of the double
layer capacitance and solution resistance. By applying small step...
Seed shattering is a constraint to improvement of seed yield in Lolium perenne L. and as a result, seed retention is an essential trait for this valuable crop. Field studies were conducted near Corvallis, OR in two years (2017-2018 and 2018-2019) to identify genetic variation for seed retention and to...
Human development researchers consider adolescence a rich time for interest development and identity exploration. A relatively new movement in the Free-Choice Learning (FCL) arena, the Maker movement, offers learners interest-driven, experiential, often collaborative, and process-oriented activities ranging from game design (computer-based and otherwise) and robotics, to sewing LEDs into clothing...
