On gamma kernel function in recursive density estimation
(Mississippi State UniversityDepartment of Mathematics and StatisticsCollege of Arts and Sciences, 8/9/2019)In this thesis we investigate the convergence rate of gamma kernel estimators in recursive density estimation. Unlike the traditional symmetric and fixed function, the gamma kernel is a kernel function with bounded support ... -
On mesh quality considerations for the discontinuous Galerkin method
(Mississippi State UniversityDepartment of Computational Engineering.College of Engineering, 7/10/2009)It is widely accepted that the accuracy and efficiency of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations is heavily influenced by the quality of the mesh upon which the solution is computed. Unfortunately, the computational ... -
On modeling and experimental validation of extrusion process of lightweight alloys
(Mississippi State UniversityDepartment of Mechanical Engineering., 2011-04-29)Laboratory-scale extrusion facilitated a parametric study of the metal extrusion process under controlled conditions. Hot extrusion experiments were performed on billets of both aluminum Al1100 as well as, magnesium alloys ... -
On Non-Parametric Confidence Intervals for Density and Hazard Rate Functions & Trends in Daily Snow Depths in the United States and Canada
The nonparametric confidence interval for an unknown function is quite a useful tool in statistical inferential procedures; and thus, there exists a wide body of literature on the topic. The primary issues are the smoothing ... -
On Simulating Tip-Leakage Vortex Flow to Study the Nature of Cavitation Inception
Cavitation is detrimental to the performance of ships and submarines, causing noise, erosion, and vibration. This study seeks to understand cavitation inception and delay on a typical ducted propulsor by utilizing the ... -
On the Calculation of Time-Domain Impulse-Response of Systems from Band-Limited Scattering-Parameters using Wavelet Transform
In the aspect of electric-ship grounding, the time-domain behavior of the ship hull is needed. The grounding scheme impacts the nature of voltage transients during switching events and faults, identifiability and locatability ... -
On the Cardiac Elastic - 3D Geometrical, Topological, and Micromechanical Properties
In cardiac biomechanics, there is an apparent knowledge gap in 3D cardiac elastin structure and its biomechanical roles. In this study, we fill this knowledge gap via novel biomedical imaging and bioengineering means. In ... -
On The Design Of Wideband Antennas Using Mixed Order Tangential Vector Finite Elements
A 3D Finite Element Boundary Integral technique (FE-BI) using mixed-order tangential vector finite elements (TVFE?s) is presented. This technique is used to design two wide band antennas and an ultra wideband (UWB) antenna ... -
On the design-build of small pavilions
(Mississippi State UniversityDepartment of Landscape Architecture.College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, 7/9/2010)Design-build is the process whereby a project is constructed by the same entity that designed it. Detailed narratives are provided for the collaborative, integrated designbuild of two small, relatively contemporary pavilions. ... -
On the Erdos-Sos conjecture and the Cayley Isomorphism Problem
(Mississippi State UniversityDepartment of Mathematics and Statistics.College of Arts and Sciences, 7/10/2009)We study the Erdős- Sòs conjecture that states that ever graph of average degree greater than k-1 contains every tree of order k+1. While the conjecture was studied for some graphs, it still remains open and of interest ... -
On the Modeling of TCP Latency and Throughput
In this thesis, a new model for the slow start phase based on the discrete evolutions of congestion window is developed, and we integrate this part into the improved TCP steady state model for a better prediction performance. ... -
On the Performance of Jpeg2000 and Principal Component Analysis in Hyperspectral Image Compression
Because of the vast data volume of hyperspectral imagery, compression becomes a necessary process for hyperspectral data transmission, storage, and analysis. Three-dimensional discrete wavelet transform (DWT) based algorithms ... -
On the Problem of Arbitrary Projections onto a Reduced Discrete Set of States with Applications to Mean First Passage Time Problems
This dissertation presents a theoretical study of arbitrary discretizations of general nonequilibrium and non-steady-state systems. It will be shown that, without requiring the partitions of the phase-space to fulfill ... -
On the role of environment assertions in requirements engineering and testing
(Mississippi State UniversityDepartment of Computer Science and EngineeringJames Worth Bagley College of Engineering, 2019-07)Software developers dedicate a major portion of their development effort towards testing and quality assurance (QA) activities, especially during and around the implementation phase. Nevertheless, we continue to see an ... -
On the Stability of Circuits Switched by Wide Band-Gap Power Semiconductor Devices
The commercialization of wide band-gap devices such as silicon carbide and gallium nitride transistors has made it possible for power electronics applications to achieve unprecedented performance in terms of efficiency and ... -
On The Use Of Image Processing And Pattern Recognition Tools To Enhance High Resolution Satellite Precipitation Estimation Based On Cloud Classification
Satellite precipitation estimation at high spatial and temporal resolutions is beneficial for research and applications in the areas of weather, flood forecasting, hydrology, and agriculture. In this research, image ... -
On-Farm Water Storage (OFWS) as Tool to Reduce Risk
A stochastic benefit-cost analysis is used to analyze the profitability of irrigating from an On-farm water storage (OFWS) system using a center pivot irrigation system (CPIS) compared to a rain-fed production system for ... -

One body and one spirit: Presbyterians, interdenominationalism, and the American Revolution
(Mississippi State UniversityDepartment of History.College of Arts & Sciences, 7/8/2009)This dissertation examines the interdenominational pursuits of the American Presbyterian Church from 1758 to 1801 in order to demonstrate how the Church helped to foster both national and sectional spirit. I have utilized ...
