Using internal state variables to model shear influenced plasticity and damage effects of high velocity impact of ductile materials
A physically motivated Internal State Variable (ISV) constitutive model is extended to account for shear influenced void evolution for predicting damage behavior in ductile solids. The revised ISV model is calibrated for ... -
Using Journal Evaluation as a Gateway to Collaboration
(Mississippi State University Libraries, 2011-06)Mississippi State University Libraries faced three consecutive years of journal cancellations. We looked at different ways to evaluate the remainder of our journal subscriptions by collaborating with campus constituents. ... -
Using k-means clustering to create training groups for elite football student athletes on the basis of game demands.
Wearable tech has become increasingly popular with elite level sports organizations. The limiting factor to the value of the wearables is the use cases for the data they provide. This study introduces a technique to be ... -
Using LiDAR data and geographical information system (GIS) technology to assess municipal street tree inventories
(Mississippi State UniversityDepartment of Forest Resources., 2011-04-20)Market and nonmarket urban forest resource values can be achieved through many cost reductions (e.g., improved air quality, fossil fuels for heating and cooling, stormwater runoff) and increases in tax bases for communities ... -
Using Mathematics-Curriculum Based Measures to Predict Outcomes on the Mathematics Portion of the Mississippi Curriculum Test, Second Edition.
The nation is challenged with improving the mathematics achievement of its students. No Child Left Behind holds schools, districts, and states accountable for improving student achievement. Because high stakes tests are ... -
Using molecular dynamics to quantify biaxial membrane damage in a multiscale modeling framework for traumatic brain injury
The current study investigates the effect of strain state, strain rate, and membrane planar area on phospholipid bilayer mechanoporation and failure. Using molecular dynamics, a 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-phosphatidylcholine ... -
Using NMR Spectroscopy to Investigate the Binding of DNA to the Globular Domain of Histone H1.0
Linker histones (H1) are a family of lysine-rich proteins that bind to or near the point at which DNA enters and exits the nucleosomal core. A number of studies have shown that H1 expression levels are altered in cancer ... -
Using Occupancy Estimates to Assess Habitat Use and Interspecific Interactions of Bats in Forested Communities
Bats are important components of biodiversity within forested ecosystems. This research addressed habitat characteristics that influence species occupancy and stable isotopes and wing morphology to assess community structure ... -
Using Photovoice to Derive the Shared Experiences of Adolescents at a Camp for Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a disability characterized by social communication deficits, repetitive and restrictive behaviors, and language and communication deficits. Its prevalence among the general population has ... -
Using physiological parameters to refine estimates of short rotation poplar performance and productivity
Short rotation woody crops (SRWC) are bred for rapid growth properties. Knowledge of how varying environmental conditions and endophytic bacteria impact physiology are needed to make planting recommendations. Three eastern ... -
Using precision agriculture technology to evaluate environmental and economic tradeoffs of alternative CP-33 enrollments
(Mississippi State UniversityDepartment of Wildlife, Fisheries and Aquaculture., 2011-03-31)United States Department of Agriculture’s Farm Bill conservation programs provide landowner incentives to remove less productive and environmentally sensitive lands from agricultural production and re-establish them in ... -
Using random projections for dimensionality reduction in identifying rogue applications
(Mississippi State UniversityDepartment of Computer Science and Engineering., 2009-04-03)In general, the consumer must depend on others to provide their software solutions. However, this outsourcing of software development has caused it to become more and more abstract as to where the software is actually being ... -
Using remote sensing and grid-based meteorological datasets for regional soybean crop yield prediction and crop monitoring
(Mississippi State UniversityDepartment of Plant and Soil Sciences., 2010-04-01)Regional crop yield estimations using crop models is a national priority due to its contributions to crop security assessment and food pricing policies. Many of these crop yield assessments are performed using time-consuming, ... -
Using remote sensing to monitor herbicide injury and biomass of waterhyacinth
(Mississippi State UniversityDepartment of Plant and Soil Sciences., 2009-05-07)Aquatic vegetation plays an important role in the ecological interactions and processes within a water body. However, the presence of the invasive exotic aquatic plant species, waterhyacinth [Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) ... -
Using Rule-based Structure to Evaluate Rule-based System Testing Completeness: A Case Study of Loci and Quick Test
Rule-based systems are tested by developing a set of inputs which will produce already known outputs. The problem with this form of testing is that the system code is not considered when generating test cases. This makes ... -
Using Self Determination Theory to Predict Employee Job Satisfaction in a State Psychiatric Hospital
The role of motivation and its relationship with desired outcomes has been studied in a variety of contexts as evidenced in the literature. Motivation, its origin, type, and its effect, has been theorized to range from ... -
Using Self-organizing Maps to Identify Turns from Driving Simulator Data
Driving simulators are a main way researchers gather data about on-the-road behavior. However, the quantity of data produced by these simulators forces researchers to rely on algorithms to aid in cleaning and analyzing the ... -
Using Social Network Analysis for Civil Infrastructure Management
It is essential to build, maintain, and use our transportation systems in a manner that meets our current needs while addressing the social and economic needs of future generations. In today’s world, transportation congestion ... -
Using Stochastic and Deterministic Approaches for Integrating Freight Movement and Aircraft Taxiing to Solve the Gate Assignment Problem
With the increase in fuel prices, the efficient movement of aircraft around an airport can impact the profitability of a flight and an airline. The assignment of a flight to a specific gate not only impacts passenger ... -
