Assessment Of Overcurrent Relay Coordination In A Microgrid With High PV Penetration Deployment
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)The existing distribution system is experiencing radical changes with the rapid proliferation of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs)[1]. Microgrids have been proposed as a way of integrating large numbers of distributed ... -
Assessment of the variability of spatial interpolation methods using elevation and drill hole data over the Magmont mine area, south-east Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Spatial interpolation methods are widely used in fields of geoscience such as mineral exploration. Interpolation methods translate the distribution of discrete data into continuous field over a given study area. Many methods ... -
Auditor style and common disclosure deficiencies : evidence from SEC comment letters
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Prior literature documents that auditor style increases financial statement comparability, implicitly making financial statements more useful to outsiders. Auditor style results from policies and procedures that centralize ... -
Bacterial ribosome conformational dynamics during translation termination and rescue
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Hydrolysis of polypeptide from the ribosome is a critical step that must occur prior to the ribosome recycling phase of translation. Inability of cells to do so can result in translation inhibition and eventually leading ... -
A Bayesian hierarchical model of lexicographic choice
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)I present a lexicographic, threshold-based model of choice used to evaluate decision makers' preferences among risky alternatives. Using a hierarchical Bayesian frame-work, this model is able to account for observed ... -
