Oh Geeze Week 9: 08/3/09 - 08/7/09

These weeks seem to go by faster and faster. I can't believe that I will be done with my project in one week from now. I also am very nervous about finishing everything on time.

We haven't finished writing the density program for Matlab, so I will have to spend some time on that next week.

We also revamped the density equation that we are using and found some of the basic assumptions that we need to make to get a one to one relationship between floc density and floc Diameter.
I am starting to worry also as a bunch of the fellow interns have already started their papers and I am still working on my project. I know that it will be worth it in the end (RIGHT?).

We also figured out that my super brilliant method for calculating fractal dimension did not apply to our situation as the aggregates of sediment that we are dealing with are not draped across a solid base.

This turned out to not be such a huge problem though because we are going to use a lot of the key assumptions that another paper used for their equation. This way we will have something to compare our work to.
