Real-Time Nitrogen Detection System of Corn Crop Using a Multi -Spectral Imaging Sensor
… relative to unstressed healthy plants. The MSIS system provided a measure of crop response that correlated with plant SPAD measurements (-0.93 for G channel and -0.88 for R channel). The system had smaller measurement variation than the SPAD meter with a standard deviation of 0.13 in MSIS …

Multi-Symplectic Integrators for Nonlinear Wave Equations
… law MSCL). Then multi-symplectic integrators (MSIs) are numerical schemes that preserve exactly the MSCL. Remarkably, we demonstrate that, although not designed to do so, MSIs preserve very well other associated local conservation laws and global invariants, such as the energy and the momentum, …

Empowering Voices: Perspectives and Experiences of Latino and Black Men in Minority Serving Institutions’ Male Success Initiatives
… color participating in Male Success Initiatives (MSIs) and examines the impact these initiatives have on their undergraduate experiences. Central to the study are two main research questions: How do MSIs influence and shape the experiences of men of color participants? And, how does participation …

SLAM for structured environments using mechanically scanned imaging sonar
… utilizing a Mechanically Scanned Imaging Sonar (MSIS). MSIS utilize a single beam sonar mechanically rotated around the vehicle to scan a full 360◦ area. Compared with other sonar systems of similar capabilities, they require less size, weight, and power, and are available at a lower price point. …

What Sustains Inter-institutional Collaborations? An Exploratory Study of Research Collaborations between Faculty at HBCUs and PWIs
… (HBCUs) or other minority-serving institutions (MSIs). Developing grant funding strategies is one way to enhance collaboration between faculty at HBCUs/MSIs and faculty at PWIs and improve pathways for success among traditionally underrepresented groups. The Institute for Critical Technology and …

STRUCTURE-ACTIVITY RELATIONSHIPS OFHETEROGENEOUS CATALYSTS FOR THE LIQUID-PHASE H2PRODUCTION FROM NITROGEN-HYDRIDES
… metals. Hence, the attention focused on studying MSIs of Ir, the most active metal for the hydrazine hydrate decomposition, with the heteroatoms of carbons to enhance its performance. In Chapter 4, a low-loading of highly active Ir particles was deposited on commercial graphite and GCN, and …

Dysphagia patient-reported outcome measures in multiple sclerosis
… survey consisting of the DYMUS, SSQ, PDDS, MFIS, MSIS- 29, and subsections of the NeuroQOL. Spearman’s rank correlation and logistic regressions were performed. We hypothesized there would be significant relationships between the SSQ and DYMUS, and that disease duration and general MS symptoms, …

Representation and Equity Gaps in Higher Education: Conceptualizing Minority Representation in Graduate Programs at an MSI
… particularly at Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), which are meant to serve minority populations (Hurtado et al., 2008). As the number of minority students grows, the gap for representation grows wider, which has added to the high departure of minority students. Additionally, the lack of …

Simulating Nitric Oxide in the lower thermosphere using a 3D model
… to the temperatures predicted by the NRL-MSIS at a 110 km, on which the new chemistry scheme is based. While the chemistry scheme used in this thesis is a step in the right direction for modelling NO using the TIEGCM, the parameters used were determined from the best fit obtained from the …

Underwater localization using imaging sonars in 3D environments
… using a mechanically scanned imaging sonar (MSIS), which stands out by its low cost and weight. The proposed method implements a Particle Filter, a Bayesian Estimator, and introduces a measurement model based on sonar simulation theory. To the best of author’s knowledge, there is no similar …
