Three essays in regional economic modeling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
My dissertation is about regional economic modeling for understanding local economy, economic impact analysis and forecasting. In the first essay, I developed a nonspatial version of community policy analysis model for Missouri counties. In my...
Forest adaptation and transition in the eastern united states under climate change : a forest landscape modeling method
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
of adaptation management scenarios. We used a forest ecosystem process model to simulate forests across the eastern United States under a range of future climate scenarios and found that ecotones between major forest types or natural community types may...
Utilizing hydrologic soil grouping to estimate corn nitrogen rate recommendations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
) are affected by soil and weather characteristics making it difficult to know when and how much N fertilizer to apply to match crop N need. In an effort to improve N fertilizer management, this dissertation explored the ability of soil, weather, and microbial...
Genomics of seasonal hair shedding and ecoregion-specific growth to identify environmentally-adapted beef cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Recently, interest has increased in augmenting current national scale cattle evaluations with precision genetic predictions tailored to specific environmental conditions. Some efforts to develop environmentally-aware ...
Motivation for smoking and smoking cessation : a self-determination theory investigation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
, understanding more about this process may provide important insights into dependence. It appears progress in this area has been slowed by a paucity of appropriate theoretical and methodological tools for research (Stickland & Smith, 2014; 2015). The current...
Statistical Analysis of Resilience Distribution and Application to Rural Electric Distribution System subjected to Hurricane Wind
(2021)
framework of stochastically modeled rural electrical distribution system, and numerical measures show that the proposed statistical analysis of the resilience distribution can be a possible objective decision-making tool....

Productivity and mortality of Acacia mangium willd. plantation with associated bark beetle and Nitidulid beetle in east Kalimantan, Borneo, Indonesia
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
in survival models of A. mangium. However, survival and mortality models that were developed in this study were not good enough to make prediction owing to irregular mortality in the study area, causing high variability in the dataset. There were trends...
Three essays on the economics of pesticide use
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Pesticides primarily benefit humans in terms of protection of food production, prevention of diseases, and weed control, but also potentially harm people and the environment. Given increasing current interest in human ...
