I am an identical twin. Whether I am in school or at the supermarket, I always notice the creepy stares as well as the following: “Who’s older? Which one are you? Do you like being a twin? Am I seeing double?” How does one go about answering questions such as these? I’ve always had an identical twin, an exact copy of my genetic make-up, and people have never ceased to be amazed by this. I have trained myself to answer these questions and yes, I love being a twin. I always have a friend by my…

stable one, while tritium has a half-life of roughly twelve years, making it slightly radioactive (Unterweger et al.; Wanjek). However, tritium has a higher binding energy than deuterium making it a more efficient fuel (Watkins). The deuterium-tritium reaction has a yield of roughly 17.6 MeV whereas the deuterium-deuterium reaction only has a yield of about 3.65 MeV. Still, the DT reaction has its disadvantages. For one, in the DT reaction about 80% of the energy is stored in a high-energy…

Science is one of the few disciplines that continues to develop in our society, whether it is through technology or new discoveries. When considering my own relationship to the world of science, I often consider the past science classes I’ve taken. Thinking back to learning about the scientific method in elementary school to constructing science fair projects for six consecutive years had me realize how far I had come without really questioning science. The year I had made it past the first…

While this is in fact a more recent study the same holds true for older boomtowns. Sour Lake experienced a huge influx of unmarried men to a town with little else to offer other than the work in the oil industry. The town had no bars, no theater, no stores, essentially no businesses other than the hotel. Many of these single men arrived with no shelter or food and no way to attain these things. Consequently, these men had a lot of time on there hands in which to get into trouble. As a…

The memory of the Khmer Rouge and the prison facility S-21 is one that is shadowed by repressed memories, lack of knowledge of the events, and apathy of the horrors that took place. By analyzing the similarities, differences, and the purpose of the book and movie we can see the issues that we have today in memorializing the genocide in Cambodia. The book Voices from S-21, and the movie Khmer Rouge: Killing machine, try and address the misconceptions that the perpetrators have in their…

The mini torsion device that will be designed for this senior design project will apply a torsional load to a small cylindrical sample with a diameter of 5 mm or 6 mm. The device will need to fit under an optical microscope and will not be able to exceed the weight limits of the sample stage on the optical microscope so that Raman microscopy can be performed on the sample while it is under a torsional load. The device will also need to collect data and calculate the angle of twist of the sample.…

variable frequency eddy current sorter (VFECS) prototype to separate different nonferrous metal and alloy of size smaller than 1 inches. VEFECS is a solid state technology which operates at variable high frequency range between 1 – 10 KHz. The magnetic field frequency plays an important role in sorting of different nonferrous metals and alloys from each…

The casting was great, at least in regards to Tom Hanks, Sally Field and Gary Sinise. Their character portrayals could not have been more honest and believable. Though the film is seen with Gump’s childish view, there is still an underlying sense of knowledge and understanding felt by the viewer. Gump’s innocence allows…
