Alluvial Sedimentation Associated with Logging in Low Gradient Watersheds in DeSoto National Forest, Mississippi
… low gradient watershed Whiskey Creek, located in DeSoto National Forest. Using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) to model and predict sediment erosion, and the use of historical aerial photographs to determine exact locations of forestry removals, the RUSLE model predicted 10 times …

Evaluating the Impacts of Mobility-as-a-Service in Prototypical North American Cities via Agent-based Simulation
Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) is a natural evolution of trends in shared mobility. As new mobility options emerge users are faced with an increasingly splintered mobility landscape. By unifying emerging on-demand modes with traditional mobility options, MaaS can increase users’ transportation …

When Can We Trust Our Memories? Quantitative and Qualitative Indicators of Recognition Accuracy
In this dissertation, I present a quartet of experiments that studied confidence ratings and remember/know/guess judgments as indicators of recognition accuracy. The goal of these experiments was to examine the validity of these quantitative and qualitative measures of metacognitive monitoring and …

Nuclear magnetic resonance studies of the organic superconductor kappa-(bisethylenedithiotetrathiafulvalene)(2) copper(nitrogen(cyanide)(2))bromine
In this thesis we report $\sp1$H and $\sp{13}$C NMR measurements in the normal and superconducting states of the organic superconductor $\kappa$-(ET)$\sb2$Cu (N(CN)$\sb2$) Br (T$\sb{\rm c}$ = 11.6 K). These measurements include the temperature and magnetic field dependent lineshapes, Knight shifts, …
