University Based Multidisciplinary Organizations - Promises And Challenges, Robert L. Cook, Richard D. Benton, Robert A. Green Jan 1990

University Based Multidisciplinary Organizations - Promises And Challenges, Robert L. Cook, Richard D. Benton, Robert A. Green

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

The Diagnostic Instrumentation and Analysis Laboratory (DIAL) at Mississippi State University is a multidisciplinary research organization engaged in developing and applying advanced computer-controlled, optical and laser-based diagnostic instrumentation systems for the characterization of high temperature gas streams. Part of the mission of DIAL is the on-site application of the diagnostic systems to large-scale facilities. The laboratory has approximately 40 professional and support personnel. Twelve faculty members are associated with the laboratory and, because of the multidisciplinary nature of the research program, their disciplines cross college as well as departmental boundaries. This provides for unique graduate research opportunities. Moreover, the laboratory …


Principles And Clinical Applications Of Magnetic Resonance, Rao P. Gullapalli, Teresa T. Evans, Roger M. Hawk Jan 1990

Principles And Clinical Applications Of Magnetic Resonance, Rao P. Gullapalli, Teresa T. Evans, Roger M. Hawk

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

A review is presented which covers the basic theory of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) with regard to angular momentum, magnetic moments, and the classical mechanical description of the NMR experiment. Longitudinal (T,) and Transverse (T2) relaxation times are defined as well as the basic pulse sequences used for their measurement. In particular, the 180°-t-90° and the Hahn Spin Echo pulse sequences are described in detail. Basic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) theory is discussed with regard to slice selection, frequency encoding, and phase encoding to define the imaged volume element. The equations defining the amount of Tt , T2 , and …

On-Line Process Fiber Optic Refractometer For Measuring Edible Oil Hydrogenation, Charles F. Cole, Robert A. Sims, Alois (Al) J. Adams Jan 1990

On-Line Process Fiber Optic Refractometer For Measuring Edible Oil Hydrogenation, Charles F. Cole, Robert A. Sims, Alois (Al) J. Adams

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

The process of edible oil partial hydrogenation has improved steadily over the past decades, but few on-line process instruments exist capable of measuring the extent of hydrogenation. This work describes the design of a prototype, on-line fiber optic refractometer for controlling and monitoring of oils. It uses an established correlation between the degree of hydrogenation of an edible oil and its refractive index (Rl). The refractometer cell uses a bare optical fiber in direct contact with processing oil. Equations are given describing the power transmission characteristics of an optical fiber as a function of its cladding Rl. Comparisons between calculated …

Logical Transition From Magnetic Poles To Current Loops, H. E. Mccloud Jan 1973

Logical Transition From Magnetic Poles To Current Loops, H. E. Mccloud

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Consideration of the relationship between the magnetic field produced by a magnetic shell and that produced by a current loop requires the evaluation of the line integral ɸH̅ • dl̅, where a portion of the path must cross the dipole layer. The correct line integral to be evaluated must be ɸB̅ • dl̅. The evaluation of this integral leads immediately to the correct Maxwell equation in ∆ x H̅. Gaussian units are used.


Optical Phenomena In Diatoms, Richard B. Hoover, Miriam J. Hoover Jan 1970

Optical Phenomena In Diatoms, Richard B. Hoover, Miriam J. Hoover

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Diatoms are unicellular algae which fabricate siliceous shells that are frequently marked with intricate ornamentations and patterns. The nature and characteristics of the siliceous shells provide a basis for diatom taxonomy and give rise to a number of interesting and colorful optical phenomena. This paper presents the results of investigations of diffraction phenomena, complementary color behavior, Rayleigh scattering and optical activity in diatoms.
