Interrogation of System State of Lead-Free Electronics Subjected to Mixed Sequential Steady-State and Cyclic Thermal Environments
(2010-11-04)
Electronic assemblies deployed in harsh field environments may be exposed to single and multiple thermal environments during their service life. In real world setting it is often required to know during the service life ...
Intersecting Social Justice and the Secondary Choral Classroom: A Phenomenological Study of Social Justice Teacher Perspectives
(2022-05-06)
The American public-school student population has changed, yet school music remains much as it was at the turn of the twentieth century. The reality of today’s profound absence of students of color, equity gaps, and lack ...
The Intersection Problem for Latin Squares with Holes of Size 2 and 3
(2009-04-28)
In this dissertation we give complete solutions for the intersection problem of latin
squares with holes of size 2 and 3. For a pair of 2n x 2n latin squares with holes of size 2
to have k entries in common outside of ...
The Intersection Problem for Maximum Packings of the Complete Graph with 4-Cycles
(2020-05-11)
A maximum packing of K_n with 4-cycles may leave some edges of the graph unpacked. The size of the leave is determined by the congruence class of n modulo 8. When n ≡ 1 (mod 8) the packing coincides with a 4-cycle system ...
The Intersection Problem for Steiner Triple Systems
(2011-11-16)
In this thesis we give a new solution to the intersection problem for Steiner triple systems, using results that were not available when the original solution was given. In particular we show for each pair (n,k), where n ...
The Intersection Problem for Steiner Triple Systems
(2016-04-22)
A Steiner triple system of order n is a pair (S,T) where T is an edge disjoint partition
of the edge set of K_n (the complete undirected graph on n vertices with vertex set S) into triangles (or triples). It is by now ...
Intersection problem for the class of Reed-Muller codes.
(2009-07-28)
The intersection problem for Coding Theory can be stated as follows: given a family or class of
families of codes, find the spectrum of intersection numbers. The general strategy to attack
this kind of problem begins ...
Intersection Structures on Secants of Grassmannians
(2023-08-02)
Restricted secant varieties of Grassmannians are constructed from sums of points corresponding to k-planes with the restriction that their intersection has a prescribed dimension. This thesis calculates dimensions of ...
Intersections of Graph Theory and Combinatorial Commutative Algebra
(2023-07-27)
In this dissertation, we explore three problems in the fields of graph theory and combinatorial commutative algebra, and their intersections. First, we prove a higher upper bound for the slow coloring number of a certain ...
An Intervention Analysis Model Examining the Effects of the Capital Purchase & Targeted Investment Programs on the Stock Prices of U.S. Banking Institutions
(2012-01-24)
This thesis uses an Intervention Analysis as an econometric procedure to determine what effect, if any, government capital injection had on stock prices. More specifically, we look at the effect that the initiation of the ...
Interviews as a Predictor of Success to Support Admission to Nursing School
(2011-11-21)
Baccalaureate nursing programs are encouraged to provide increased numbers of graduates prepared to meet the future needs of healthcare. Limited access to nursing schools and unique cohort learning necessitates close ...
Intestinal interactions of Eimeria spp. with Clostridium perfringens and Salmonella Typhimurium in broiler chickens
(2023-08-02)
Coccidia, Clostridium perfringens, and Salmonella are intestinal pathogens in broiler production. Coccidiosis in chickens is caused by Eimeria spp. The infection provides a growth advantage to Clostridium perfringens (CP), ...
Intra-individual systemic shifts: Linkages between relationship quality and depressed affect in a diverse sample of relationally distressed Couple and Relationship Education (CRE) participants
(2012-05-01)
The negative association between depression and marital satisfaction has been clearly documented, with theoretical approaches describing the direction of effects as depression leading to marital dissatisfaction (Stress ...
Intraspecific signaling functions of juvenal plumage
(2009-04-22)
The function and evolution of avian plumage coloration has been the subject of many studies over the past decade, but virtually all of this research has focused on the plumages of sexually mature individuals. The color ...
Intraspecific variation in coral reproductive output and symbiont community structure following a thermal bleaching event
(2022-04-04)
Marine heatwaves and associated bleaching events are projected to increase in frequency and severity in the future, imperiling charismatic ecosystems such as coral reefs. Although mass bleaching events are often accompanied ...
Introduced Yellow Perch in Lake Martin and Yates Lake, Alabama: Interactions with Native Fishes
(2012-07-02)
Yellow perch has been introduced into Southeastern US drainages outside its native range. In Alabama, established populations now exist in Lake Martin and Yates Lake. Here, I determined how yellow perch might influence ...
An Introduction to Bernstein-Gel’fand-Gel’fand Correspondence
(2022-08-04)
This master's thesis serves as an introduction to the Bernstein-Gel'fand-Gel'fand correspondence first written in 1978. We shall cover some of the fundamental objects that the reader may not be familiar with, mainly tensor ...

The Inverse Domination Number Problem, DI-Pathological Graphs, and Fractional Analogues
(2010-04-20)
The conjecture that $\alpha(G) \geq \gamma'(G)$ is unproven where $\alpha(G)$ is the vertex independence number and $\gamma'(G)$ is the inverse domination number of a simple graph G. We have found the conjecture to be true ...
