Spin Your Thesis! 2013<\/b><\/p>\n
The \u2018Spin Your Thesis!\u2019 2013 programme is already under way. Teams from the Czech Republic, Italy and Belgium have been selected to participate, and their LDC campaigns will take place from 23 September to 3 October 2013.<\/p>\n
Their experiments will examine the behaviour of gliding arcs of plasma in noble gases; the effect of hypergravity on the thermal hydraulic behaviour of a closed-loop pulsating heat pipe; the combined effect of hypergravity and barium titanate nanoparticles on bone-forming stem cells; and the effect of hypergravity on the Leidenfrost point.<\/p>\n
Background<\/b><\/p>\n
The first \u2018Spin Your Thesis!\u2019 campaign took place in 2010. Since then, every annual campaign has enabled up to four teams of university students to develop and conduct hypergravity experiments using the Large Diameter Centrifuge facility.<\/p>\n
As a direct consequence of the research they conducted during these campaigns, some of the student teams were able to present their results at international conferences and\/or publish papers in leading scientific journals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
