Resilience among elementary educators as measured by the personal and organizational quality assessment-revised and the emotional quotient inventory: short
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of time on the indices within the Personal and Organizational Assessment-Revised (POQA-R, Institute of HeartMath, 1999-2004) among rural, elementary educators ...
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 health and environmental...
Adoption of nutrient management practices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Off-farm income has recently been incorporated into the analysis of technology adoption, due to its increasing share in total farm household income in the U.S. Previous studies, however, found inconsistent results with ...
Estimating Water Quality, Air Quality, and Soil Carbon Benefits of the Conservation Reserve Program
(Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) at the University of Missouri-Columbia, 2007-01)

Studies of ruminant digestion, ecology, and evolution
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
This thesis examines ruminant digestion, ecology, and evolution, particularly where they can improve livestock production systems. We performed an experiment that estimated ruminal in situ degradation parameter values of ...
Environmental and medical applications of molecularly imprinting polymer sensor for the detection of progesterone
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
substantial potential for the hormones detection as an environmental sensor. The objective of this research is to fabricate a label-free molecular imprinted polymer (MIPs) sensor and investigate the sensing ability for progesterone detection in aqueous...
Correlation of site variability from SASW and CPT measurements
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Geotechnical site characterization programs are designed to reduce uncertainty and maximize the efficiency of geotechnical design. Ironically, however, many site characterization programs are inefficient themselves as they call for extensive...
Stand structure development effects on wood quality of Melina (Gmelina arborea roxb.)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
A stem analysis was perform to examines the effects of thinning treatments on Melina (Gmelina arborea) wood quality and tree architecture in the North Coast of Colombia. 27 plots under forest management regimes and age classes were evaluated. Split...
