Insights for rural health care provider retention : a quantitative survey analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Due to rural health disparities and an uneven distribution of health providers across the rural urban continuum, retaining the existing rural health care provider workforce may be an important strategy to maintain existing ...
GIS-based, python modeling of the spatial and temporal distribution of water on the landscape for wetlands decision making
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Wetlands provide many benefits for humans and the natural environment, but land use changes have reduced their number and areal extent. Interest has grown in examining surface water distribution both spatially and temporally, ...
Mesoporous and nanostructured metal oxides for adsorptive water treatment
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
based on the experiments. For alumina nanoshells, carbon black (CB) was first successfully coated with alumina using the CLD process, followed by removing the CB, leading to porous Al2O3 nanoshells, with a high specific surface area (217.7 m2 g-1...
Data combining using mixtures of g-priors with application on county-level female breast cancer prevalence
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
scenarios in terms of the theoretical properties including biases, frequentist variances, and mean squared errors. In the first project, data combining of linear models with the classical mixtures of g-priors is investigated. We calculate and compare...
The power of synteny : deep evolutionary insights from comparative genomics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
tree-species tree incongruence. In Chapter III, as published in Abrahams et al., 2020, I utilize a microsynteny network and phylogenetic inference to investigate the origin and diversification of the MAM/IPMS gene family. I uncover unique MAM-like genes...

is still rare. For this reason, this study is focused on addressing the impact of Walmart store closures in small towns in Missouri. The purpose of this study is to identify factors affecting the residents' perception of and response toward the impact...
Measuring and comparing the spatiotemporal evolution of accident hot spots
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
One reality of transportation systems is that vehicular accidents can happen practically anywhere and at any time. An increasing body of research suggests though that spatial and/or temporal dependencies (i.e., clusters ...
Multi-scale factors influencing detection, site occupancy and resource use by foraging bats in the Ozark Highlands of Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Conservation of bat populations requires understanding the associations between bats and their use of resources. We used maximum likelihood to estimate probability of site occupancy using acoustic data for ten species of ...
Middle and late woodland period cultural transmission, residential mobility, and aggregation in the deep South
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
This research attempts to reconstruct the extent of prehistoric human interaction within the lower Chattahoochee-Apalachicola River valley and neighboring Gulf Coast for the period spanning 200 B.C. to A.D. 1000. Using ...
