A multiscale modeling approach to investigate traumatic brain injury
(Mississippi State UniversityDepartment of Agricultural and Biological EngineeringJames Worth Bagley College of EngineeringOffice of the Graduate School, 2019-08)In the current study, mechanoporation-related neuronal injury as a result of mechanical loading has been studied using a multiscale approach. Injurious mechanical loads to the head induce strains in the brain tissue at the ... -
Multiscale Modeling of Hydrogen-Enhanced Void Nucleation
Many experiments demonstrate that the effects of hydrogen solutes decrease macroscopic fracture stresses and strains in ductile materials. Hydrogen-related failures have occurred in nearly all industries involving ... -
Multiscale Modeling of Multiphase Polymers
Accurately simulating material systems in a virtual environment requires the synthesis and utilization of all relevant information regarding performance mechanisms for the material occurring over a range of length and time ... -
Multiscale Structure-Function Relations of a Tendon
In 1998, the United States National Committee on Biomechanics (USNCB) established an evolving discipline called Functional Tissue Engineering (FTE). In establishing this discipline, the goals of the USNCB were to advance ... -
Multiscale Structure-Property Relationships of Ultra-High Performance Concrete
The structure-property relationships of Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) were quantified using imaging techniques to characterize the multiscale hierarchical heterogeneities and the mechanical properties. Through ... -
Multispectral Processing of Side Looking Synthetic Aperture Acoustic Data for Explosive Hazard Detection
Substantial interest resides in identifying sensors, algorithms and fusion theories to detect explosive hazards. This is a significant research effort because it impacts the safety and lives of civilians and soldiers alike. ... -
Multispectral/Multitemporal Aerial Detection And Mapping Of Red Imported Fire Ant Colony Mounds In Two Monocultural Grass Types
The red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta)(RIFA) is a major pest in the United States, causing serious economic and human costs. This study explored the feasibility of using digital aerial remote sensing in ... -
Multistage 2-DOF rocket trajectory simulation program for freshmen level engineering students
(Mississippi State UniversityDepartment of Aerospace EngineeringJames Worth Bagley College of Engineering, 2019)With the growing interest in space exploration, the need for professionals to be prepared for the job is ever more present. This project aims to satisfy that goal by presenting a MATLAB program for use by freshmen level ... -
Multivariate Analysis of Fungal Volatile Metabolites for Aflatoxigenic Fungi Detection
My research focuses on the development of a novel method for the fast detection of aflatoxin-producing fungi from the volatile organic compounds that they produce. Aflatoxins have received great attention because of their ... -
Municipal and agricultural wastewater remediation using modified biochars
(Department of ChemistryCollege of Arts and SciencesTodd Mlsna Analytical Laboratory, 2019)Water contaminated by heavy metals and plant nutrients pose a threat to human health and safety as well as the environment. The aim of this body of work is to develop, characterize, and understand the adsorption properties ... -
Municipal Government: Does Institutional Structural Reform Make a Difference in Local Government?
Early reformers reasoned that by changing institutional structure in local government you could solve organizational problems. Institutional structural reform in local government has interested scholars ever since. The ... -
Music despite everything
(Mississippi State UniversityDepartment of English., 2008-04-04)This volume of original poetry is prefaced by a critical introduction examining the narrative distancing strategies present in Louise Glück’s The Seven Ages. The introduction focuses on the tendency of Glück’s speakers to ... -
