Quantification and Analysis of Mortuary Practices at Morton Shell Mound (16IB3), Iberia Parish, Louisiana
The purpose of this thesis is to assess the mortuary program at Morton Shell Mound (16IB3) using osteological and spatial analyses. Because of the fragmented and commingled nature of the remains, the analysis of mortuary ... -
Quantification of Harmful Algal Blooms in Multiple Water Bodies of Mississippi Using In-Situ, Analytical and Remote Sensing Techniques
Globally, water bodies are increasingly affected by undesirable harmful algal blooms. This dissertation contributes to research methodology pertaining to quantification of the algal blooms in multiple water bodies of ... -
Quantification of Storm Surge Probability using Ensemble Slosh Model Data
One of the greatest hazards from hurricanes is the flooding due to storm surge. Emergency managers traditionally plan for storm surge by looking at the worst possible impact and design their plans accordingly. This is a ... -
Quantifying a Daily Light Integral for Warm-Season Putting Green Species
A major constraint for ultradwarf bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. x C. transvaalensis) putting green cultivars is poor performance under reduced light environments (RLEs) due to the overall poor shade tolerance ... -
Quantifying animal movement: Using a power-law to model the relationship between first passage time and scale
In a heterogenous environment, an animal will increase its search effort in areas where resources are abundant. This behavior can be detected in a path by a decrease in speed, an increase in tortuosity, or both. First ... -
Quantifying cognitive workload and defining training time requirements using thermography
Effective mental workload measurement is critical because mental workload significantly affects human performance. A non-invasive and objective workload measurement tool is needed to overcome limitations of current mental ... -
Quantifying Physiological Responses of Beef Cattle Using a Tympanic Temperature Measurement Device
The primary goals of this research were to develop an improved design for measuring tympanic temperature in groups of beef cattle, determine the ideal operating parameters of the new device, and to verify its effectiveness ... -
Quantifying Pre-Industrial to Mid-Late 20th Century Anthropogenic Lead, Mercury and Cadmium Pollution in Caribbean Marine Environments Using Skeletonized Sea Turtle Remains
Various lines of evidence indicate that levels of anthropogenic pollutants, such as lead, mercury and cadmium, have increased in terrestrial and atmospheric environments since the early 19th century and the advent of ... -
Quantitative Analysis and 3D Visualization of Nwp Data Using Quasi-Geostrophic Equations
Quasi-geostrophic (QG) analysis of the atmosphere utilizes predefined isobaric surfaces to ascertain vertical motion. One equation of the QG system is the omega equation that states that vertical forcing results from ... -
Quantitative analysis of allergens in peanut varieties and assessment of effects of food processing on peanut allergens
Peanut, a major allergenic food, has life-threatening potential and is difficult to be totally avoided due to its common use in processed foods. Thermal processing can influence the allergenic properties of peanuts. However, ... -
Quantitative Analysis of the Accessibility of Fresh Food for Mississippi Residents
Food accessibility was determined for each Mississippi County, based on data obtained from the Retail Survey regarding common fruits and vegetables in available in food stores. Availability data were correlated with four ... -
Quantitative Descriptive Analysis and Development of a Lexiconal Language for Pueraria Lobata (Kudzu) Leaves and Utilization of Pueraria Lobata (Kudzu) Root Starch in Conventional Milk Yogurt
Fresh Pueraria Lobata (kudzu) leaves were evaluated by sensory descriptive analysis. Covariate analysis determined the effects of leaf size and time on 32 sensory variables. Best fit polynomial regressions over time were ... -
Quantitative Field Testing Heterodera Glycines from Metagenomic Dna Samples Isolated Directly from Soil
Molecular diagnostic assays have been developed and utilized to diagnose and to confirm the diagnoses of many plant-parasitic nematodes. We screened several gene sequences of soybean cyst nematode (SCN) [Heterodera glycines, ... -
Quantitative field testing Heterodera glycines from metagenomic DNA samples isolated directly from soil under agronomic production.
(Public Library of ScienceDepartment of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Entomology and Plant PathologyDepartment of Biological SciencesCollege of Agriculture and Life SciencesCollege of Arts and Sciences, 2/24/2014)A quantitative PCR procedure targeting the Heterodera glycines ortholog of the Caenorhabditis elegans uncoordinated-78 gene was developed. The procedure estimated the quantity of H. glycines from metagenomic DNA samples ... -
Quantitative field testing Rotylenchulus reniformis DNA from metagenomic samples isolated directly from soil.
(Public Library of ScienceDepartment of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Entomology and Plant PathologyDepartment of Biological SciencesCollege of Agriculture and Life SciencesCollege of Arts and SciencesBost Extension Center, 12/16/2011)A quantitative PCR procedure targeting the ?-tubulin gene determined the number of Rotylenchulus reniformis Linford & Oliveira 1940 in metagenomic DNA samples isolated from soil. Of note, this outcome was in the presence ... -
Quantitative Genetic Analysis For Flowering Time In Primitive Upland Cotton, Gossypium Hirsutum L., And Chromosome Assignment Of Bac-Derived Ssr Markers

Quantitative methods to solve problems in animal populations using animal shelters as a model
United States animal shelters care for unwanted animals until they are adopted, transferred to another facility, or euthanized. However, there are unanswered questions about what factors predict these outcomes, and what ... -
Quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance techniques to investigate bacterial metabolites and protein competition kinetics on various nanoparticle surfaces
Solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a valuable analytical technique that is nondestructive, highly reproducible, and relatively quick to identify and quantify many chemical compounds. Quantitative NMR ... -
Quantum Dragon Solutions for Electron Transport through Single-Layer Planar Rectangular
When a nanostructure is coupled between two leads, the electron transmission probability as a function of energy, E, is used in the Landauer formula to obtain the electrical conductance of the nanodevice. The electron ... -
