Gaussian Cosmology: A New Model For The Accelerated Expansion Of The Universe, Brian Robert Neils Strigel
Gaussian Cosmology: A New Model For The Accelerated Expansion Of The Universe, Brian Robert Neils Strigel
Senior Projects Fall 2015
In this paper I lay the groundwork for an alternative model for the contemporary expansion of the universe. The current model states that the universe is growing exponentially due to the vacuum of space pulling on it. This model states that the growth rate of the universe is linear in time. However in 1998, researchers suggested that the expansion rate of the universe is accelerating. This means the universe is not expanding logarithmically, not linearly. In my model, I lay the groundwork for future research and suggest that the universe develops in time in accordance to a Gaussian scale factor …

Phyro: Exploring An Untethered Model For Robots In Cs-1, Philip Franchi-Pereira
Senior Projects Fall 2015
Robots are becoming more popular, both industrially and commercially. As new robots are created, designers must choose whether to tether to a primary computer. Many robots used in an introductory computing context, like the Scribbler robot and Fluke attachment, are tethered. Untethering educational robots is the next step in improving the way robots are used in CS-1. This project aims to demonstrate the advantages of untethered robots, using the Scribbler robot and Fluke singleboard computer attachment as a model. We developed the Phyro library to make programming an untethered Scribbler and Fluke easier for students. By comparing program performance and …
