Proton Orbit Calculations for the Iowa State University Cyclotron

This paper describes the equations governing the proton beam in a small cyclotron and reports calculations carried out on the Iowa State University undergraduate cyclotron. These calculations relate the intensity of the proton beam to changes in the magnetic field of the cyclotron and give the beam height as a function of the radius drawn from the center of the dee box. It was found that changes in the magnetic field strength of only a few gauss can result in a large reduction of the beam strength. Calculations of the beam height show that the beam height changes little with changes in the magnetic field, but rather that the beam height is almost completely determined by the derivative, ∂B/∂r, of the magnetic field

From Paper to Praxis: Advancing the Discipline in a Small College Environment

This article proposes the advancement of communications discipline at a small college in Georgia. In the small liberal arts college, one tends to find many faculty members who have had little or no experience with departments of communication. It is also plausible that some approaches to the study of communication may be deemed unsuitable in a small liberal arts setting. To meet the demands of the millennial technological environment, the dean of the college decided to reexamine the communication major in terms of its scope and function on campus. The proposals for the advancement of the discipline are discussed herein
