Breakfast banana split recipe.
A diffusion model analysis of transitivity and lexicographic semiorder
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
semiorders are typically considered to model the choice data. In literature, transitivity is often associated with rationality, whereas lexicographic semiorders are usually considered an alternative way to make decisions specifically when the given task seems...
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...
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...
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 ...
Applications of ancestry estimation in cattle population genetics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Accounting for ancestry and cryptic population structure is important in population genetic data analysis. The estimation of ancestry can help elucidate the effects of admixture or stratification on allele and genotype ...
Rivalry, revelry, and retention : an exploration into the relationship between the academic progress rate and institution, athletic department, and team characteristics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
academic support programming and policy making for student-athletes and aid in understanding the conditions that lead to greater academic success....
Agroforestry buffer, biomass crop, and grain crop effects on soil quality and soil water use
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Soil degradation, impaired water quality, and reduced soil organic carbon have become major concerns in the management of degraded claypan soils with ...
Multi-hazard resilience assessment of river-crossing bridges
(2021)
. Accordingly, a robust statistical distance-based approach is presented to determine the sequential evolution of time-varying multi-hazard resilience. The proposed framework would assist stakeholders and decision-makers in resilience patterns recognition...
Genetics in practice : applications of quantitative genetics to environment and educational pursuits
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
"The ability to elucidate quantitative trait architecture and introduce potentially beneficial traits makes introgression a useful tool. Unfortunately, due to the nature of inheritance there are certainly limitations to the usefulness...
Decision theory and sampling algorithms for spatial and spatio-temporal point processes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
In this work, we first present a flexible hierarchical Bayesian model and develop a comprehensive Bayesian decision theoretic framework for point process theory. Then, we provide a comparative study of the approximate Bayesian computation (ABC...
Developing a novel method for making metal oxide nanocoatings for electrocatalysis applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
In this dissertation, a new and novel technique to synthesize conformal films of metal oxides on top of nanoscale substrates in different geometries such as carbon nanotubes, carbon black particles, and iron oxide nanoparticles ...
Essays on labor economics

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This dissertation consists of two chapters on labor economics. In the first chapter, we study redistributions via the United States Social Security ...
Ecological genomics of divergence, admixture, and fitness in the smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
fishes and invertebrates in both streams and natural lakes, and they act as obligate hosts in the life cycles of several freshwater mussels. A great deal is known about the general ecology of Smallmouth Bass and their role in aquatic communities across...
The culture wars & political polarization in perspective : why polarization and its perturbations are a persistant [i.e., persistent] puzzle in political science
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Political polarization in the American electorate has received a great deal of attention in recent years with most of the research focusing on social issues and their impact on electoral outcomes. However, scant attention ...
Influence of streambed substrate type and watershed properties on seston algal abundance
