Basic Observations in Astronomy
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page overview of some of the basic premises of astronomy. Outlines the Big Bang theory and provides a description of Venus, Mars, and the four Jovian planets (Saturn, Pluto, Uranus, and Jupiter) in relation to the Earth and Sun, speculating on such anomalies as Venus’ retrograde rotation. Outlines the methodologies and theories utilized by astronomers such as the Doppler Effect, Wien’s Law, Absorption Spectrum, Stefan-Boltzmann Law, and the Emission Spectrum. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Bernoulli's Principle
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Bernoulli's Principle, named after the Swiss Mathematician Daniel Bernoulli, provides the basis upon which air and speed equal pressure. In its most basic form, Bernoulli's Principle is responsible for establishing the inherent relationship between velocity and pressure as they relate to slow-moving air. While other principles address the issues associated with high pressure and force, Bernoulli's Principle asserts that fast moving air creates lower pressure than slow moving air. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Carolus Linnaeus, Demitri I Mendeleev and Leonhard Euler
[ send me this paper ]

Chaos Theory
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page research paper on chaos theory, fractals, etc;. The beginnings of chaos theory are discussed briefly, citing scientists who initially made discoveries and fostered the study of chaos, e.g., Lorenz, Mandelbrot. Based on the research, a premise is put forth: if order can be found in the most complex systems, then order or patterns can be found in events thought to be without any order (animal stampedes are used as one of several examples). Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Chaos Theory
[ send me this paper ]
This 8 page report discusses the fact that, at its core, chaos theory and its direct relationship to physics, since it is the science of physics which determined that all movement can be defined as being determined, random, or chaotic. The concepts as well as the history of how those concepts were reached are presented. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Clutches and Clutch Plate Design
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper describing the structure and function of the automobile clutch and suggesting alternative materials that could be used to increase friction for both racing and street applications. Racing clutch manufacturers already are using a ceramic-metal alloy; the paper proposes eliminating the metal component. A ceramic material also is lighter weight, contributing to reduced stress on the engine’s crankshaft as well as on the transmission’s input shaft. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Cosmology & Significance of Antimatter
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page research paper that discusses what antimatter is, how it was predicted and discovered and what scientists believe is its significance to Big Bank theory and the origins of the universe. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Critique Of A Topic In Classical Thermodynamics
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Classical thermodynamics presents a most intriguing dichotomy with regard to its contemporary definition, in that by the close of the nineteenth century, classical thermodynamics had been reduced to classical mechanics by way of statistical mechanics. Primary to this modification of measurement were the contributions of Sir Isaac Newton, whose Newtonian Mechanics predicted the behavior of such entities as particles, pendulums and machines all the way through the nineteenth century when the new physics began to have its impact. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Designing a Water Pipe System
[ send me this paper ]
This 8 page paper examines the different aspects of water flow that need to be considered when designing a pipe system. These include water flow, velocity, friction loss and pressure as well as pipe material and the need to remember peak demand. The bibliography cites 3 sources.

Digital Radiography Versus Conventional Radiography
[ send me this paper ]
This 4 page paper compares the use of traditional and digital radiography looking at factors such as effectiveness, efficiently, cost and environmental impact. The bibliography cites 2 sources.
