Optimization Models and Algorithms for Vulnerability Analysis and Mitigation Planning of Pyro-Terrorism
In this dissertation, an important homeland security problem is studied. With the focus on wildfire and pyro-terrorism management. We begin the dissertation by studying the vulnerability of landscapes to pyro-terrorism. ... -
Optimization Models for Cost Efficient and Environmentally Friendly Supply Chain Management
This dissertation aims to provide models which will help companies make sustainable logistics management and transportation decisions. These models are extensions of the economic lot sizing model with the availability of ... -
Optimization of an immunomarking technique for the study of tarnished plant bug movement between corn and cotton
(Mississippi State UniversityDepartment of Entomology and Plant Pathology., 2010-04-26)A key economic pest of cotton in the mid-south is the tarnished plant bug (TPB), Lygus lineolaris (Hemiptera: Miridae). It is believed that early season crops like corn play a major role in building up TPB populations which ... -
Optimization of combined cooling, heating, and power systems (CCHP) operational strategies for different climate conditions
(Mississippi State UniversityDepartment of Mechanical Engineering., 2009-04-03)This thesis investigates the different strategies of operation and optimization criteria that a CCHP system can be operated under. As energy concerns increase, a major issue for the United States will be the efficiency of ... -
Optimization of High-Level Waste Loading in a Borosilicate Glass Matrix by Using Chemical Durability Modeling Approach
A laboratory scale study was carried out on a set of 6 borosilicate waste glasses made from simulated high-level nuclear waste. The test matrix was designed to explore the composition region suitable for the long-term ... -
Optimization of Hydrothermal Pretreatment and Membrane Filtration Processes of Various Feedstocks to Isolate Hemicelluloses for Biopolymer Applications
Hemicelluloses (HC) are the second most abundant plant polysaccharides after cellulose, constituting 25-30% of plant materials. In spite of their abundance, HC are not effectively utilized. Recently, considerable interest ... -
Optimization of marsh terracing as a wetland restoration technique: Mitigation of cohesive sediment erosion by waves associated with frontal passage
Rates of marsh wetland loss in the northern Gulf of Mexico are the highest observed in North America. Marsh terraces have been implemented over the last 30 years to address this loss. Marsh Terraces reduce fetch and resulting ... -
Optimization of Seed Propagation of Seven Native Plant Species
Seven plants native to the moist habitats of the pine savannas, woodlands, and Hillside Bog natural area at the Crosby Arboretum, Picayune, MS, were evaluated under laboratory and nursery conditions to determine seed ... -
Optimization of the material selection process for cryogenic composite overwrapped pressure vessels
(Mississippi State UniversityDepartment of Mechanical Engineering., 2008-03-27)The objective of this research was to develop a test methodology for the evaluation of materials for possible use in cryogenic composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs). This paper investigates various micromechanical ... -
Optimization of the production of the lantibiotics mutacin 1140 in modified M9 media
Mutacin 1140, a class 1 bacteriocin, is produced by Streptococcus mutans and belongs to the type A lantibiotic family. Experiments were done to optimize production of mutacin 1140 in minimal media enabling a more cost ... -
Optimizing Carbon to Nitrogen Ratios to Improve Nitrogen Removal in Agricultural Drainage Ditches
Since 1961, a four-fold increase in application of fertilizers in the United States has helped to double crop yields. Nutrients not used by crops are often transported to aquatic ecosystems adjacent to agricultural fields. ... -
Optimizing The Size And Location Of Distributed Generators To Maximize The Grid Stability
Distributed Generators (DGs) are being increasingly utilized in power system distribution networks to provide electric power at or near load centers. These are generally based on technologies like solar, wind and biomass ... -
Optimizing weed control in Mississippi peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) through improved herbicide programs and application technology selection
Studies were conducted in the field from 2018-2019 in peanut to optimize weed control through application methods and herbicide choices. The herbicide studies were established in Mississippi, Oklahoma, Florida, and Alabama. ... -
Optimizing Wildlife Habitat and Oak Regeneration in Bottomland Hardwoods using Midstory Control and Partial Harvest
Timber and wildlife habitat management may be conflicting objectives, but both benefit from increasing light in bottomland forests through harvesting and midstory control, and a target residual basal area may be used to ... -
