Progress in Ancient Alchemy
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page discussion of the many inroads made by ancient alchemists. Although our modern world tends to scoff at alchemy, it involved not just the pursuit to turn other substances into gold but rather formed the rudiments of ancient science. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Properties and Uses of Steel Beams
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page overview of steel beam
used and selection criteria. General uses examined are applications in auto making; bridge
construction and repair; and in building construction. Different properties are used in each
of these broad applications, and the steel industry continues searching for greater
alterations preserving steel's strength while providing less mass. Includes an appendix
with 2 tables. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Quantum Mechanics
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper that provides an overview of the progression from classical mechanics to quantum mechanics. This paper begins with the developments of Max Planck and considers a number of major theories, including Einstein's theory of relativity, and their application for quantum theory. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Radioactive Physics: Discovery and Application
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page overview of the discovery and importance of radioactive physics. Emphasizes that this
discovery that alpha, beta, and gamma rays have unique qualities has resulted in the application of that knowledge in a diversity of applications,
one of the most interesting of which is analytical techniques found in geoarchaeology. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Relativity
[ send me this paper ]
Relativity is the science of putting the world into perspective. This 5 page paper explores the meaning of time as well as relativity as explained by Albert Einstein and Leopold Infeld in the book, The Evolution Of Physics. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Revolutions In Physics
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The manner by which ideas of Ernst Mach, Henri Poincare, Albert Einstein and Werner Heisenberg represent a revolution in physics becomes significantly clear when one examines the extent to which science has modified human existence, particularly when compared with Newtonian physics from the previous century. Understanding each man's unique contributions provides for the student to gain a better perspective upon just how much of an impact their respective discoveries had upon the entire global population. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Risk Assessment of Four Nuclear Plant Designs
[ send me this paper ]
The UK government has given the go-ahead to the building of a new generation of nuclear power stations. Four designs are being assessed; the Areva EPR, Westinghouse AP1000, Candu ACR 1000 and GE ESBWR. This 17 page paper looks at each of these deigns and their safety features, consider the use of probabilistic risk assessment is outline and an event tree is presented for a large lost of coolant event. The bibliography cites 10 sources.

ROBERT GODDARD AND ROCKETS
[ send me this paper ]
This 6-page paper examines the life and biography of scientist Robert Goddard, and how his studies in rocketry during the early 20th century ultimately led to the success of the U.S. space program. Also touched on is how Germany used Goddard's theories to invent the V-2 rocket, the forerunner of the rockets that eventually landed the Apollo spacecrafts on the moon. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Rockets and Newton's Second Law of Motion
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the
operation of a rocket as proof for Newton's second law, f = ma, and also briefly discusses Mach's
ability to condense all of Newton's three laws of motion into a single one. All of Newton's laws of
motion - or Mach's single derivation - come into play with the launch and operation of a rocket.
The very action of a rocket can be said to prove Newton's second law. Bibliography lists 7
sources.
