The dissertation is organized into three topics in economic analysis of the U.S. farm raised catfish industry. The first topic studies the U.S. farm raised catfish supply using a static normalized profit function and ...

Support Staff Perceptions of the Campus Climate at a Southern University 

Locke, Demetriss (2010-04-23)
The purpose of this study was to investigate university support staff members’ perception of the campus climate at a Southern university. Differences among support staff members were examined by age, gender, level of ...

Supporting the Development of Teachers' Attributes Needed for the Selection and Implementation of Cognitively Demanding Tasks through Engagement with the MathTwitterBlogosphere 

Parrish, Christopher (2016-08-01)
The purpose of this study was to determine if and how engagement with an online community supports the development of three attributes identified by Wilhelm (2014) that teachers need to have in order to consistently select ...

Supporting the Implementation of Behavioral Interventions using a Smart Technology Platform 

Yagafarova, Aliya (2023-07-27)  ETD File Embargoed
A smart technology platform that guides behavior-change agents in the implementation of behavioral interventions may be useful for maintaining high, long-term treatment fidelity. The current study evaluated (a) whether the ...

Suppression of Wolbachia mediated Cytoplasmic Incompatibility 

Sharma, Gagan Deep (2020-07-17)
Insect biocontrol applications often hinge upon insect reproduction. Wolbachia are maternally inherited intracellular bacteria that infect insects. Wolbachia sterilizes a mosquito sperm resulting in a lethal embryonic ...

Surface and Interfacial Studies of Perovskite Oxides Grown by Hybrid Molecular Beam Epitaxy 

Thapa, Suresh (2022-04-19)
Perovskite oxides are well known for their intriguing properties such as ferroelectricity, ferromagnetism, and superconductivity that can be tuned by different crystalline degrees of freedom. SrTiO3 (STO) is a perovskite ...

Surface and Subsurface Transport of Phosphorus from Surface and Subsurface-applied Poultry Litter 

Lamba, Jasmeet (2009-11-30)
A plot scale experiment was conducted in a pasture at the Sand Mountain region of north Alabama, USA. Nine plots of 1.52 m by 3.05 m were constructed with sheet metal borders to isolate runoff. The soil was a Hartsells ...

Surface Architectural Anatomy of The Penile and Preputial Epithelium of Bulls 

Strickland, Lew (2010-07-12)
It has been a long held assumption that older bulls develop deeper folds or crypts in the epithelium covering the penis and prepuce than are found in their younger counterparts. These deeper crypts reportedly facilitate ...

Surface Dynamics of a DNA Loop Formation Using Surface Plasmon Resonance 

Yang, Fuling (2015-05-07)
Electrochemical proximity assay (ECPA), was recently developed for direct protein quantitation as low as 10 fM. In this assay, the loop-like structure holds methylene blue (MB) in close proximity with the gold surface when ...

Surface engineering of conductive material-based composites for energy applications 

Zhang, Miaomiao (2021-07-20)
With the increasing concern on renewable sources (wind, wave and solar), energy storage and power management have become increasingly important topics. Supercapacitors (SCs) with features of ultrahigh power output, excellent ...
