Expanding the Brand of Athletics
(Mississippi State UniversityDepartment of KinesiologyCollege of Education, 2019-08)In this thesis, I examine the suggested role of intercollegiate athletics by Myles Brand (2006). His two viewpoints, the Standard View and the Integrated View, raise practical areas for reform in the relationship of athletics ... -
The Experiences of a Rural Mississippi Mathematics Teacher: A Case Study
This study investigates my experiences as a rural Mississippi secondary mathematics teacher. The culture surrounding accountability testing and rural education as well as student perceptions of my mathematics instruction ... -
Experimental and Computational Study of the pH Dependence of Dithiopurine (DTP) Interaction with Gold Nanoparticles (AuNPs)
Understanding molecular level ligand interfacial interaction with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is important for AuNP applications such as catalysts, drug delivery vehicles, and so forth. As an organothiol that can undergo ... -
Experimental and Modeling Studies of Clay/Polydicyclopentadiene Resin Nanocomposites
Hybrid organic-inorganic nanocomposites have received considerable attention during the last five years due to their unexpected properties. This work incorporated nanodispersed organically modified montmorillonite clay ... -
Experimental and Numerical Studies of Lightning Strike Induced Damage to Carbon Fiber Epoxy Composites
The objective of this study is to investigate the interaction between a lightning strike and carbon/fiber composites. The first approach is to characterize the damage development in a composite structure subjected to ... -
Experimental Assessment of Butomus Umbellatus L. Growth and Expansion Using a Mesocosm Approach
Over the last century, flowering rush (Butomus umbellatus L.: Butomaceae) has escaped its native Eurasian range and has become a problematic species in North America. As an aquatic invasive species, flowering rush has ... -
Experimental Characterization and Modeling of the Brittle and Ductile Failure of Polypropylene and Copolymer Polypropylene
Research areas within the automotive industry are dedicated to reducing the weight and emissions of vehicles. Through the application of lightweight materials, such as polymers, fuel consumption and production costs can ... -
Experimental Characterization of Compaction and Sintering of Nanocrystalline Copper Steel Powder
The effect of ball milling on the compaction and sintering of nanocrystalline FC-0205 powder was studied in this work. As-received micron-sized FC-0205 powder was subjected to High Energy Ball Milling (HEBM) in an argon ... -
Experimental Development of Paleoproxies : Investigation into Anaerobic Conditions and the Amorphous Calcium Carbonate Precursor for Carbonate Minerals
