Arithmetic Ramsey Theory In Algebraic Settings, Gauree Wathodkar

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Arithmetic Ramsey theory is an area of combinatorics that deals with finding structures in large subsets of integers, dating back to at least Hilbert (1892). One of the early results in this area is Schur’s theorem (1917) that pioneered the concept of partition regularity. In 1933, Schur’s student Rado generalized his theorem and proposed a conjecture for partition regular equations. This was settled by Deuber in 1973. The first part of this dissertation is to generalize this conjecture in infinite integral domains.

For non-partition regular equations Rado gave a Boundedness conjecture in the integers. While this conjecture is still open, …

Exploring Tpack To Foster Student Engagement: A Self-Study In A Rural School Secondary Mathematics Classroom, Sindhu Aravind

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In recent years, the integration of technology into education has transformed teaching practices, enhancing student engagement and providing new opportunities for differentiated learning. However, this shift presents a unique challenge in rural schools, where limited resources and infrastructure can hinder the effective implementation of technology. To investigate these challenges, I conducted a qualitative self-study to explore how technology integration, guided by the TPACK framework, impacts student engagement and learning in a secondary mathematics classroom. This study also examined the teacher’s experience in planning, implementing, and adapting technological tools to address the diverse needs of students, particularly in under-resourced environments. For …

On Planar Brownian Motion Singularly Tilted Through A Point Potential, Barkat Mian

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

We construct a family of time-inhomogeneous two-dimensional diffusion processes, defined over a finite time interval [0, T]. These diffusions have transition density functions that are given by the integral kernels of the semigroup corresponding to the two-dimensional Schrödinger operator with a point potential at the origin. Although, in a few ways, our processes of interest are closely related to two-dimensional Brownian motion, they have a singular drift pointing in the direction of the origin that is strong enough to enable the possibility of visiting there with positive probability. Our main focus is on characterizing a local time process at the …

High-Resolution And Time-Efficient Infiltration Rate Estimating Technique Using Geophysical Emi And Hydrogeological Modeling, Md Abdus Samad

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Information on infiltration rates is crucial for developing climate-resilient infrastructure, optimizing irrigation in agricultural management, and tackling stormwater-related hazards. However, rapid urbanization and climate change are expected to exacerbate these risks. Therefore, proper assessment and understanding of infiltration capacity is essential for designing effective soil conservation strategies aimed at enhancing infiltration, reducing erosion, and supporting sustainable land and water management. Despite the importance, traditional methods such as single ring and double ring infiltrometer (DRI) test are limited by spatial resolution and time inefficiency, often fail to capture spatial heterogeneity across large areas.

To address these limitations, this research developed a …

Measurement Of Forces In Standing Wave Ultrasonic Fields, Milan Rai

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The acoustic radiation force provides the physical mechanism for the non-contact levitation and manipulation of particles in ultrasonic standing wave fields. This thesis presents a study on the measurement, simulation, and validation of acoustic radiation forces acting on spherical particles levitated in air. The motivation for this work is to provide high-precision measurements of acoustic radiation forces in trapping systems, which are of particular interest in biomedical manipulation, materials science, and contactless assembly.

The study employs a three-part methodology: theoretical analysis, experimental observation, and numerical simulation. Theoretically, the acoustic radiation force was derived from Gor’kov’s potential (valid for ka « …

Pre-Service Teachers’ Attitudes About Gender, Education, And Mathematical Aptitude: A Quantitative Study, Paige Barnett

Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal

Females and mathematics are often not grouped together due to the gender bias surrounding the two. Perhaps attending an all-girls high school has instilled a higher level of confidence in my own mathematical abilities than many women exhibit. The focus of my research is to examine preservice elementary teachers for their confidence levels in mathematics, as well as whether they hold a form of unconscious gender bias. I completed this research by developing a six-question survey instrument. The survey was administered in the spring and fall of 2023 to Math 245 and Math 246 classes, both of which are required …

Study Aims To Increase Support For Disabled Students In Stem, Clara Turnage
