The Sodium Channel Gene Expression on the Kdr Locus in the House Fly, Musca domestica and the Mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus

Tian, Li (2010-07-14)

A point mutation of leucine to phenylalanine (L-to-F), resulting from a single nucleotide substitution in the sodium-channel of insects, is associated with pyrethroid resistance. In this study, to understand genetic basis ...

Soft Error Rate Determination For Nanometer CMOS VLSI Circuits

Wang, Fan (2008-05-15)

Nanometer CMOS VLSI circuits are highly sensitive to soft errors due to envi- ronmental causes such as cosmic radiation and high-energy particles. These errors are random and not related to permanent hardware faults. ...

The Soft Side of Leadership: Principals’ Enactment of the Love Languages and Leadership Frames in Influencing School Culture

Baugh, Shay (2015-07-28)

The culture of a school defines how the school works in regards to rules, relationships, and attitudes. The current research focuses primarily on the principal’s academic intelligence and how it impacts school culture. ...

Soft Video Delivery by Metadata Reduction over LTE

Monroe, Tino (2019-12-05)

New methods for media delivery, specifically video, have become increasingly important over the past decade. Along with increased user need for video streaming, video is now a majority of the traffic on the internet. In ...

A Software and Hardware System for the Autonomous Control and Navigation of a Trained Canine

Britt, Winard (2009-07-20)

This dissertation demonstrates the autonomous command and navigation of a trained canine to multiple waypoints. A system is described consisting of a canine that can be guided autonomously to a number of waypoints by an ...

Software Defect Prediction with Fuzzy Logic

Muthu Kumar, Kripa Shankar (2020-11-16)

Finding software defects in software project modules is a complex process and highly uncertain in nature. Even though multiple intensive machine learning and deep learning models are available to predict defects, it is ...

A Software Signal Simulation of Low Earth Orbit Satellites for Investigative Analysis

McDougal, Samuel (2023-05-02)

Simulation tools are an important part of the engineering design process by allowing changes in algorithms and processes before implementation. Current global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs) are mainly located in ...

Soil Microbial Community Structure and Aflatoxin Contamination of Peanuts

Sudini, Hari Kishan (2009-08-06)

Potential management of the soilborne Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus fungi, a food contaminate that causes human and animal health problem, may be possible through maintaining an appropriate soil microbial diversity. ...

Soil Organic Matter Characterization and CO2 Flux in Long-Term Experiments

Kumi, Anthony (2011-07-27)

Increasing global concentration of atmospheric CO2 predating the beginning of industrial era mostly due to fossil fuel combustion, deforestation and changes in land management has necessitated studies that will quantify ...

A Soil Quality Index for Alabama

Bosarge, Tabitha (2015-08-21)

Soil quality is how well soil performs the functions expected of it. Many of Alabama’s agricultural soils are considered poor quality due to compaction, excessive runoff, a history of severe erosion, low soil organic matter, ...

Soil- and Foliar-Applied Potassium in Upland Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) Production

Wendland, William Howard Smith (2019-12-20)

Soil test recommendations for upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) fertility are often based on varieties which are no longer in production, meriting questions on whether increased potassium (K) is needed for new varieties ...

Soil-Planter Interaction Force Distribution as Affected by Planting Depth Setting and Planter Configuration

Bridges, Rees (2016-04-26)

Agricultural field planting operations encounter great spatial and temporal variability. Research has shown that seeding depth and soil loading, produced by planting equipment, affect early crop growth as well as crop ...

Soil-Structure Interaction and Imperfect Trench Installations As Applied To Deeply Buried Conduits

Kang, Jun (2007-05-15)

The imperfect trench installation method is used to reduce earth pressure on deeply buried conduits. Few quantitative refinements to the imperfect trench installation method, however, have been added since the fundamental ...

Soil-Structure Interaction Effects on the Seismic Response of Steel Structures

Al-Ghabawi, Humam (2021-07-15)

Significant earthquakes are one of the most damaging events for structures. Much research has been done to mitigate the effect of earthquakes on structures. Soil-structure interaction can have a significant impact on the ...
