Steps to success in home canning (2010)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2010)
Identification, characterization and use of novel thermogenetic tools in drosophilia melanogaster
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
the available tools offer precise temporal and spatial resolution, their caveats lie in the limited number of tools that can be used simultaneously to alter neuronal activity. The overlapping spectrum of activation of optogenetic tools prevents...
Architecting the spatial enablement of a film location database for enhanced geographic analysis and query
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
to process data from different sources. The system must allow the inclusion of data as it is added to the database by end-users and maintain a structure that is still optimized for querying yet not limiting the availability of the data....
The National Endowment for Democracy: a quantitative analysis on the effectiveness of grants promoting democracy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This paper seeks to analyze how effective the National Endowment for Democracy's (NED) grants are at promoting democracy. The expressed purpose of the ...
Advanced modeling and optimal control of a cart-double pendulum system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
of this research is to design a controller that provides both energy and error minimization for the cart-pendulum, so that its payload moves as if it were floating freely in a microgravity environment (according to Newton's 1st law). The Euler-Lagrange equation...
Cognitive radios: spectrum sensing issues
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Cognitive Radio can smartly sense and adapts with the changing environment by altering its transmitting parameters, such as modulation, frequency, frame format etc. The main challenges with cognitive radios are that it ...
Design and implementation of a portable prTorrent simulator system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The absence of a system that could perform as both a P2P simulator and a P2P emulator poses a barrier to researchers and developers. The objective of ...

' theses and a quantitative review through collation along the Range of Military Operations instrument, the researcher gained important insights into what key mid-level military officers were thinking during the time between the 1991 liberation of Kuwait...
Simplified model for reinforced concrete beams under catenary action
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The purpose of this research is to develop simplified models to predict the load displacement behavior for any reinforced concrete beam on the basis of material, geometric, and design parameters. The proposed simplified ...
Data control for signal scavenging for a personnel detection system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Injurious falls have been one of the major problems in elderly people and not providing medical assistance to those patients on time may increase complications. We developed a "Smart Carpet", which detects the personal ...
Is maturing out of problematic alcohol involvement related to personality change?
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Problematic alcohol involvement typically peaks in the early 20s and declines with age. This "maturing out" of alcohol involvement is usually attributed ...
Behavioral choice and demographic consequences of wood frog habitat selection in response to land use
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
and in response to timber harvest. I asked research questions that address the two components of habitat selection: 1) the behavioral choice, and 2) the demographic consequences of that choice. To document behavioral choice, I allowed adults to move freely...
PRIMEGENSv2 : a service based platform using object oriented model view controller design pattern
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
There are a number of tools and software packages dealing with the problem of efficient primer and probe design. In an era of fast paced research it is rather difficult for any researcher to change their favorite tool. So ...
A study of internal change communication practices : message, media, channel and approach
