Investigation of the accuracy of Grover's method when solving for the mutual inductance of two single-layer coaxial coils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
code software and the direct calculations of elliptical integrals. Also by fixing various dimensional parameters while varying others, practical interest geometries such as equal radii, equal lengths, different radii, different lengths, and different...
The effects of pre-requisite library research instruction on the information seeking knowledge and behavior of community college students in an introductory nursing course
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
The nursing profession is evolving from basing patient care on tradition and expert opinion to emphasizing evidence based practice. Literature suggests that nurses do not have the information literacy skills required for evidence based practice...

(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2019)
Q: Is intra-articular platelet-rich plasma injection an effective treatment for knee OA? EVIDENCE-BASED ANSWER: PROBABLY NOT, based on the balance of evidence. While low-quality evidence may suggest potential benefit, the balance of evidence...
Equivalent circuit modeling of TMS plasma polymer coating system on cold-rolled steel
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)
/ trimethylsilane (TMS) plasma polymer/oxide-free steel surface having an impedance modulus at low frequency of 109 ohms throughout the entire corrosion test. A spray paint primer and surface oxides both contributed to a degradation of corrosion protection evident...
Does tranexamic acid reduce mortality in women with postpartum hemorrhage?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2019)
Q: Does tranexamic acid reduce mortality in women with postpartum hemorrhage? EVIDENCE-BASED ANSWER: Yes. When used in conjunction with the standard of care, 1 g intravenous (IV) tranexamic acid given 1 to 3 hours after delivery is associated with a...
The effects of plyometrics or resistance-training on markers of bone turnover and hormones in men
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)

(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2018)
Q: What's the best secondary treatment for patients who fail initial triple therapy for H pylori? Evidence-based answer: treating patients with Helicobacter pylori infection who have failed clarithromycin-based triple therapy with either...
Tensile strength, shear strength, and effective stress for unsaturated sand
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
It is generally accepted in geotechnical engineering that non-cohesive materials such as sands exhibit no or negligible tensile strength. However, there is significant evidence that interparticle forces arising from capillary and other pore...
Longitudinal, naturalistic study of training and support for implementation of evidence-based youth mental health practices among community providers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
support in evidence-based practices (EBPs). To address this need, the current study describes the reach and impact of a county-wide youth MH initiative aimed at increasing youths' and families' access to effective youth MH services by providing free EBP...
Does frenotomy help infants with tongue-tie overcome breastfeeding difficulties?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2015)
Q: Does frenotomy help infants with tongue-tie overcome breastfeeding difficulties? Evidence-based answer: Probably not. No evidence exists for improved latching after frenotomy, and evidence concerning improvements in maternal comfort...
Textural properties of coagulated milk products containing soy protein
