A therapist survey of evidence-based practices in publicly funded youth mental health
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
sizes in controlled clinical trials for evidence-based treatments (EBTs) for youth MH problems (Weisz, Jensen-Doss & Hawley, 2006). One potential reason for this discrepancy may be that therapists within TAU contexts are not implementing EBTs. To date...
Implementation of a low-cost, web-based, multi-component training for trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
knowledge, use, and fidelity in TF-CBT. A multiple regression showed that previous TF-BT training, clinician attitudes towards evidence-based practices, and clinician age predicted training completion. Implications for web-based trainings and implementation...
The effects of culturally-based accommodations on behavioral skills training
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) come from different ethnicities and backgrounds. With the growing Hispanic population and increased prevalence of ASD, it is imperative that our evidence-based practices support and assist Hispanic...
Comparison of left 4th and 5th intercostal space thoracotomy for open-chest cardiopulmonary resuscitation in dogs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
clinical literature. The most convenient incision for performing OC-CPR is a left intercostal thoracotomy. Literature most commonly describes a 4th or 5th intercostal space (ICS) thoracotomy for performing OC-CPR in dogs. No studies to date have been...
Meta-analysis of single-subject research using hierarchical linear modeling : empirical examination of the procedure and functional behavior assessment-based interventions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The role of evidence-based practices in both research and practice continue to provoke issues of disagreement and definition across multiple fields. One area of contention...
Predictors of polypharmacy and off-label prescribing of psychotropic medications : a national survey of child psychiatrists
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
In the current study we used a national survey of child psychiatrists to examine typical prescribing practices for children with anxiety, depression, and disruptive behavior disorders from a social judgment theory perspective. We examined the extent...
Investigation of the performance of an automatic arterial oxygen controller
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
, manual adjustment of FiO2 is the common practice in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). The automation of this adjustment is a topic of interest. The research team, at University of Missouri-Columbia (UMC), has developed a novel automatic arterial...
Equivalence test of high dimensional microarray data
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
.e. thermal and mechanical stimulus). Emphasis 2 was approached by using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to map the transcriptome of the dentate gyrus after exposing sedentary and wheel running LVR and WT rats to 5 weeks of chronic mild stress (CMS). The results from...
A qualitative analysis of elementary teachers' perceptions about the impact of the IPI process on classroom practices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
. The purpose of this study was to explore teachers' perceptions through conversations using personal open-ended, semi-structured interviews in order to gain information on the IPI process and its impact on instructional practices used in the classroom. Based...
Stakeholder perceptions : the impact of a university-based laboratory school on a campus-based university educator preparation program
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
A gap in research on the impact of a university-based laboratory school on a campus-based educator preparation program and a decrease in the number of university-based laboratory schools requires current laboratory school programs to evaluate...
Shaping identity : an analysis of Hellenistic southern Italian ceramics and its implications for cultural and societal change
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
, was traditionally thought to be a period of decline for south Italy, following the prosperity of the Archaic and Classical periods; however, archaeological evidence proves that many of these cities remained strong, financially and culturally. My study focuses...
Three essays on monetary and financial economics

of institutional investors on tone are causal based on results from indexed firms. Consistent with hypotheses regarding investors horizon, short-term institutional investors are associated with greater conference call tone, as well as potentially opportunistic...
Bayesian spatial models for adjusting nonresponse in small area estimation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
in both situations. When the population of interest is binary and nonresponse has a degree of nonignorability, there are special difficulties in the data analysis. One common practice in mail surveys is to resend the survey questionnaire to nonrespondents...
Full Bayesian models for paired RNA-seq data and Bayesian equivalence test

practice for gene expression analysis using high throughput read-count data. I also proposed and studied a Bayesian test procedure for the equivalence test with parameter margin, which has a wide range of applications in pharmaceutical statistics...
Multi-dimensional scaling and MODELLER based evolutionary algorithms for protein model refinement
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
of software packages have been developed and they sometimes perform well on template-based modeling, further improvement is needed for practical use. Model refinement is a step in the prediction process, in which improved structures are constructed based on a...
