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.

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.

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.
