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...
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...
A therapist survey of evidence-based practices in publicly funded youth mental health
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
for implementing transdiagnostic EBT strategies over both (a) EBT strategies specific to a particular patient presentation (e.g., exposure for anxiety) and (b) strategies without a strong evidence base (e.g., pleasant activity scheduling for conduct problems). We...
Is intra-articular platelet-rich plasma injection an effective treatment for knee OA?
(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...
Are inhaled steroids effective for a postviral cough?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2015)
Q: Are inhaled steroids effective for a postviral cough? Evidence-based answer: No. Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) don't improve postviral cough in adults with subacute (3-8 weeks) or chronic (>8 weeks) cough, adolescents with a history of asthma...
Textural properties of coagulated milk products containing soy protein
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1982)
The textural properties of coagulated milk products were studied by Scanning Electron Microscopy and Texture Profile Analysis. Soy protein and casein interactions were explored with chemically modified soy proteins. The ...
How safe and effective is ondansetron for nausea and vomiting in pregnancy?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2019)
Q: How safe and effective is ondansetron for nausea and vomiting in pregnancy? Evidence-based answer: oral ondansetron is more effective than a combination of pyridoxine and doxylamine for outpatient treatment of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy...
What are the risks of long-term PPI use for GERD symptoms in patients > 65 years?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2019)
Q: What are the risks of long-term PPI for GERD symptoms in patients > 65 years? EVIDENCE-BASED ANSWER: THE USE OF PROTON PUMP INHIBITORS (PPIs) to control gastrointestinal esophageal reflux disease (GRED) is significantly associated with increased...

(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2015)
Q: Are inhaled steroids effective for a postviral cough? Evidence-based answer: No. Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) don't improve postviral cough in adults with subacute (3-8 weeks) or chronic (>8 weeks) cough, adolescents with a history of asthma...
Salesforce control systems : an integrated approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
contradictory. This dissertation advances and empirically tests a theoretical framework integrating salesperson's intrinsic/extrinsic (I/E) motivation, adaptive selling behavior, and selling effort as key mediators. Empirical results suggest...
Simulation of carbon dioxide concentrator
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1976)
reactor to decompose the CO2 eventually into O2 which is recycled to the cabin. One particular method has been adopted by NASA as the most practical and reliable method for missions lasting six months or more. The recovery of O2 from CO2 is achieved...
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...
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...
