The magic that works : John W. Campbell and the American response to technology
(Northern Illinois University, 1972)This essay is an attempt to understand the popular response to twentieth century technological change by studying the career of John Campbell, an influential writer and editor of science fiction. Educated as a scientist ... -
Magic, mimesis, and the Annunciation to Mary : six early Byzantine cameos and the Late Antique tradition of medical amulets
(Northern Illinois University, 2014)It has been suggested by scholars that small portable objects from the early Byzantine period with the image of the Annunciation may have been used as fertility amulets, but none have examined this in detail. This thesis ... -
Magmatic water content of Pacaya Volcano, Guatemala, determined from a thermodynamic model for the plagioclase-liquid hygrometer
(Northern Illinois University, 2014)Pacaya Volcano is an active composite volcano located in southern Guatemala, about 30 km from the nation's capital, Guatemala City. This volcano has variable eruptive styles ranging from non-explosive to moderately explosive. ... -
Magnesium and manganese ions as protection against X-ray induced dominant lethal mutations in Drosophila Melanogaster
(Northern Illinois University, 1969)The purpose of this study was to test whether magnesium or manganese ions could confer protection against the effects of irradiation upon chromosomes and to test for differences between hatchabilities of eggs laid within ... -
Magnetic circuit utilizing soft switching for LED driving
(Northern Illinois University, 2014)LEDs are the most efficient way to turn an electric current into illumination. Connecting LEDs in either series or parallel is considered to be an option for better lighting and various other applications. Generally, when ... -
Magnetic circular dichroism of metal to ligand charge transfer spectra of some selected d⁶ and d¹⁰ transition metal complexes
(Northern Illinois University, 1981)Electronic absorption and magnetic circular dichroisn (MCD) spectral measurements are reported for the octahedral nd⁶ carbonyl and cyano complexes M(CO)₆ (M = Cr, Mo, W) and K₄[M(CN)₆] (M = Fe, Ru, Os), the linear nd¹⁰ ... -
