Pedagogy of aesthetics : a study of three architectural design studios
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Venustas (beauty) in the architectural field is one of the qualities of architecture along with firmitas (firmness) and utilitas (utility). Given that pursuing beauty is one of the roles of an architect/designer, aesthetics, ...
Initial movements and disturbance response of a newly reintroduced elk herd in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
, and minimize human-wildlife conflicts that are sometimes associated with low site fidelity. We studied initial movement ecology of adult and yearling elk (Cervus elaphus) reintroduced to the Missouri Ozarks in 2011 (n=32), 2012 (n=21), and 2013 (n=31...
Measuring and modeling stream and air temperature relationships in a multiland use watershed of the central United States
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
A nested-scale experimental watershed study design approach was used in an urban watershed of the central U.S. to investigate stream water temperature (Tw) variability during water year's 2011, 2012, and 2013. Drought conditions were observed during...
Hyperactivity and Hyperagreement in Bantu
(2011)
to all clause-level probes, and Bantu DPs are therefore able to A-move more freely than their Indo-European counterparts and to value iterating agreement. The proposals provide a unitary explanation for the existence in Bantu of Subject Object Reversal...
The role of work preferences in the disparity between females in public relations and females leading public relations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
to the literature available on the use of Preference Theory to describe why women make up a majority of the Public Relations career field, but do not make up a majority of the leaders within Public Relations. Results indicate that PR practitioners are making work...
Value and exchange in Hemingway's The sun also rises
(University of Missouri, College of Arts and Sciences, 2011)
The characters in The Sun Also Rises follow a code of exchange instead of a traditional moral code. This emphasis on exchange matches the new found booming economy of the 1920s. Characters follow this code of exchange ...
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...

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 ...
Variation and fractionation of lithium isotopes within single tourmaline crystals in the pegmatites of the Black Hills, SD
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
exist at the outcrop scale, studies on single crystals are rare. A study by Ludwig et al. (2011) showed a roughly homogenous isotope profile in a tourmaline using secondary ion mass spectroscopy. If, however, Li isotope ratios are in fact variable within...
