Race, Drugs, and Sentencing: A Quantitative Analysis of Sentencing Outcomes for Federal Cocaine and Methamphetamine Drug Offenses
For decades, the United States has fought a “War on Drugs” with no success. This war has led to substantial increases in the number of individuals incarcerated in the United States prison system. The following dissertation ... -
Racial Exemplars And Their Effects On The Race-Implicit Association Test
Research on prejudice has long been skewed by participants’ ability to monitor their reactions on overt measures of such attitudes. Accordingly, researchers created an implicit measure to study prejudice (Greenwald & Banaji, ... -
Radio Frequency Evaluation of Oriented Strand Board
Oriented strandboard (OSB) is a wood-based composite product with the largest market share for residential and commercial construction. OSB composite products have introduced variability in their physical and mechanical ... -
Rag1-/- mutant zebrafish demonstrate specific protection following bacterial re-exposure.
(Public Library of ScienceDepartment of Basic SciencesCollege of Veterinary Medicine, 9/6/2012)BACKGROUND: Recombination activation gene 1 deficient (rag1(-/-)) mutant zebrafish have a reduced lymphocyte-like cell population that lacks functional B and T lymphocytes of the acquired immune system, but includes Natural ... -

Rankings and the quest for excellence in the public higher education institution
Business decisions are increasingly being made in the higher education institution (HEI) based on their impact to university rankings, sometimes to the detriment of the HEI mission. HEIs are not homogenous, and rankings ... -
RANS and DES Computations for a Three-Dimensional Wing with ICE Accretion
A computational investigation was performed to assess the effectiveness of Detached-Eddy Simulation (DES) as a tool for predicting icing effects. The AVUS code was employed to compute solutions for an iced wing ... -
Rans And Hybrid Rans/Les Computations For Three-Dimensional Wings With Ice Accretion
Computational investigations were carried out to evaluate the effectiveness and usability of hybrid RANS/LES techniques for predicting the unsteady separated flow over wings with ice accretion. RANS and hybrid RANS/LES ... -
Rapid Identification Of Aspergillus Spp. Using A Pcr Based Melting Curve Method And Characterization Of A Novel Chitinase In Insect Resistant Maize Lines
Identification of fungal isolates is critical in studying Aspergillus flavus ecology and for developing methods to reduce aflatoxin contamination. In our efforts to track biocontrol applications of the atoxigenic A. flavus ... -
Rapid Non-Destructive Assessment of Southern Yellow Pine Lumber Properties by Near Infrared Spectroscopy
Over the last several years questions about the strength of structural lumber have been raised. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between physically measured wood properties using Near Infrared ... -
Rapid non-destructive assessment of wood decay by near infrared spectroscopy
(Mississippi State UniversityDepartment of Forest Products., 2010-03-24)The use of near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy for predicting levels of degradation in laboratory soil block tests was investigated. Calibrations were developed for mass loss, compression strength, and exposure period using ... -
Rapid repair of levee breaches: plug dimension parameterization
Thousands of miles of levees exist in the United States and around the world and failure of these levees as a result of breaching has the potential to cause severe flooding damage. A technology, the PLUG, has been developed ... -

Re-annotation is an essential step in systems biology modeling of functional genomics data.
(Public Library of ScienceDepartment of Basic SciencesCollege of Veterinary Medicine, 5/14/2010)One motivation of systems biology research is to understand gene functions and interactions from functional genomics data such as that derived from microarrays. Up-to-date structural and functional annotations of genes are ...
