Design & Analysis of Mixed-mode Integrated Circuit for Pulse-shape Discrimination
<p>In nuclear science experiments it is usually necessary to determine the type of radiation, its energy and direction with considerable accuracy. The detection of neutrons and discriminating them from gamma rays is particularly difficult. A popular method of doing so is to measure characteristics …

Fundamental Studies of Reactions between NO3 Radicals and Organic Surfaces
Ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) surface science experiments were designed to study reaction kinetics and mechanisms of gas-phase NO₃ radicals with well-organized, highly characterized, organic thin films. The surface reactions were monitored in situ with reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS). …

Determining effects on fifth grade students' achievement and curiosity when a technology education activity is integrated with a unit in science
… of integrating technological activities with science instruction. The researcher examined whether fifth-grade students' achievement and curiosity relative to the science unit were related to their participation in classes where the experimental treatment was employed. A secondary focus of the …

Amnesty and accountability : a study of the South African amnesty in the light of the Nuremberg Tribunal
… on obedience to orders in the 1960s, social science experiments have shown, however, that individuals acting under orders do not perceive of their moral autonomy as clearly as previously assumed. In the light of the historical transitions since Nuremberg, the recent innovation in the South …

Assessing Programmatic Variables and Uncertainties in Space Exploration Campaign Planning
… and systems to deliver their payloads, be they science experiments or astronaut crews, to their intended location. For example, the Apollo spacecraft were designed to deliver and return a specific amount of mass to and from a specific set of locations on the Moon; and most ISS-servicing vehicles …
