Superfluids of Fermions in Spin-Orbit Coupled Systems and Photons inside a Cavity
This dissertation introduces some new properties of both superfluid phases of fermions with spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and superradiant phases of photons in an optical cavity. The effects of SOC on the phase transition ... -
Supply and use of milk and cream - purchased from producers by Mississippi dairy manufacturing plants
(Mississippi State College Agricultural Experiment StationMississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station, 1951-02) -
Supply chain security: ban institutional approach to strategies and outcomes
(Mississippi State UniversityDepartment of Marketing, Quantitative Analysis and Business Law., 3/31/2008)In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, it became apparent that the way organizations conduct business activities within and between themselves would be forever altered. Specifically, the way the ... -
Support Vector Machines for Speech Recognition
Hidden Markov models (HMM) with Gaussian mixture observation densities are the dominant approach in speech recognition. These systems typically use a representational model for acoustic modeling which can often be prone ... -
Supporting Graduate Education: A Library-Wide Approach
(University LibrariesUniversity Libraries, 4/1/2016)The Mississippi State University Libraries serves a diverse graduate student population that includes over 140 graduate majors or concentrations and approximately 3600 students. The MSU Libraries has developed a comprehensive ... -
Supporting student success in chemistry using peer mentoring, laboratory experiments, and eye-tracking analysis
Active participation in the learning process enhance students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills. We implemented peer-focused, active learning, recitation sessions with the large-enrollment sections for General ... -
Surface and satellite perspectives on precipitation variability across San Salvador Island, Bahamas
Located in the subtropical central-eastern Bahamas, San Salvador Island is impacted by both synoptic-scale weather systems as well as local features and the North Atlantic Subtropical High. This study explores rainfall ... -
Surface Characterization of Rh-Co, Ru-Co and Pd-Co Bimetallic Catalysts
Methanation of CO2, a greenhouse gas component, using bimetallic catalysts is considered. Rh, Pd and Ru were combined separately with Co on silica support to form bimetallic catalysts with 5 % metal loading and atomic ratio ... -
Surface Mesh Generation using Curvature-Based Refinement
Surface mesh generation is a critical component of the mesh generation process. The objective of the described effort was to determine if a combination of constrained Delaunay triangulation (for triangles), advancing ... -
Surface Modification and Transport Modeling of Micron- and Nano-Sized Materials
Nanoparticle-based technologies are an emerging field with the promise to impact a wide range of application areas. However, that potential is somewhat married to a host of research questions that remain to be answered. ... -
Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy of Thiobarbituric Acid (TBA) and TBA Reactive Compounds
Malondialdehyde (MDA) is the commonly accepted biomarker of lipid peroxidation. We reported the surface-enhanced Raman (SERS) detection of MDA using Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) as a molecular probe. The lowest concentration ... -
Surface-Water and Groundwater Interactions of a Stream Reach and Proposed Reservoir within the Pascagoula River Basin: George County, Mississippi
This research had two main objectives: quantify surface-water and groundwater interactions along a stream reach, and determine the hydraulic conductivity at the site where two reservoirs are proposed. The objectives of ... -
Surficial Geologic Mapping of the Vicksburg National Military Park and Surrounding Areas in Vicksburg, Mississippi
This research has been conducted in Vicksburg Mississippi within the Vicksburg National Military Park and surrounding areas, to produce four 7.5 minute geologic maps of the area. The park service prioritized the delineation ... -
A Survey of Neonicotinoid Residue Levels in Native Bees and Soil of the Mississippi Black Belt Prairie
Reports of declining insect populations suggest that more research focusing on this phenomenon is needed, especially in pollinator insects. Climate change, habitat destruction, and usage of certain pesticides have all been ... -
Survival and growth of three oak planting stocks on Hurricane Katrina disturbed lands
(Mississippi State UniversityDepartment of Forestry., 2011-06-23)Three types of oak planting stock were evaluated to determine their influence on survival and initial growth. Planting stocks utilized include conventional containerized seedlings with a 240 cm3 container, 1-0, bare-root ... -
Survival and Growth Performance of Two Oak Species and Three Planting Stocks on Lands Disturbed by Hurricane Katrina
Survival and growth of two oak species, water oak (Quercus nigra) and swamp chestnut oak (Quercus michauxii), and three planting stocks: 1-0 bareroot, conventional containerized, and EKOgrownTM seedlings were compared for ... -
Survival and Habitat Selection of American Black Ducks in Tennessee
American black duck (Anas rubripes) populations declined throughout North America from 1950–1990, but the breeding population since has stabilized. However, limited information exists on black ducks in the Mississippi ... -
Survival Processing in the Retroactive Interference Paradigm
Recent literature suggests that typical forms of encoding (i.e., elaboration) are obsolete as compared to rating words based on survival relevance (Nairne, Thompson, and Pandeirada, 2007). Information encoded using survival ...
