Throughout history, the horrors of combat have left their mark on soldiers around the world through more than just external battle wounds. As years have passed, the number of men and women d…
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of stealth aircraft design constraints on the aerodynamic performance and mission capabilities of an aircraft. It is hypothesized if o…
The purpose of this experiment was to test whether the fibroin protein from spider silk inhibits the growth of Escherichia coli. It was hypothesized that fibroin would inhibit the growth of…
