Human trust model of collision warning through pupillary and electromyography responses
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This pioneering work on human trust in automation was modeled by two main physiological measurements responses to collision avoidance warning as observed by pupil...
Three essays on phosphorus runoff and water quality
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
efforts to limit both residential and agricultural nonpoint source pollution. The results could be helpful policy makers to target specific regions to initiate environmental policies and extension efforts for designing educational programs to increase...
Body size and shape in insular environments and applications of the island rule in biological anthropology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
to the mainland. Last, an investigation on the diversity of two human populations in the Baja California peninsula demonstrates that Amerindians who migrated to and survived in these regions were impacted by ecogeographic pressures in different degrees, likely...
Genetic basis of isoflavone accumulation during soybean seed development : special focus on water-deficit conditions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Soybean (Glycine max [L] Merr.) seed isoflavones have long been considered a desirable trait to target in selection programs for their contribution to human health and plant defense systems. The plant synthesizes isoflavones in response to several...
Development of translational models for intervertebral disc degeneration using a comparative approach for canine and human patients
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
with manifestations of symptomatic IVD disease (IVDD). IVDD spontaneously occurs in canine and human populations. As such, dogs can serve as highly relevant and ethical preclinical models for both human and canine IVDD. Chondrodystrophic (CD) and non...
Biology and management of cut-leaved Teasel (Dipsacus laciniatus L.) in central Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Cut-leaved teasel is a biennial invasive weed that grows along roadsides and low disturbed areas. This research was to determine growth characteristics, herbicide efficacy, and seed production of teasel. Growth characteristics ...
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...
Impacts of artificial light and melatonin signaling pathways on behavior and skeletal physiology in mice
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
as measured by trabecular spacing and bone volume fraction. The results suggest nocturnal artificial light exposure does impact circadian physiology and skeletal biology and have implications for human health concerns such as shift work, nocturnal electronic...
Model-based simulations of the piercing process in piezo-ICSI
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
To develop a piezo intracytoplasmic sperm injection (piezo-ICSI) procedure without using mercury, the real physics behind the zona piercing must be understood. An effort has been made to formulate a three-dimensional model ...
Annual evidence of moisture limitations at treeline in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
This study is focused on capturing a recent regeneration patterns on an annual level over the landscape of the Sangre de Cristo (SDC) mountain range. Modern temperature trends (post-1945) of this area are dominated by sharp ...
Genetic and nutritional effects on reproduction in lactating dairy cows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
on the PAG S-N. Cows with the greatest fertility sub-index had greater milk PAG-S-N compared with cows with intermediate and poorest fertility suggesting possibly a more favourable environmental for the establishment, maintenance of pregnancy and fetal...
Assessment of a voluntary nonlead ammunition outreach program on midwestern national wildlife refuges
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
. First, the risk of lead exposure from spent hunting ammunition is a multi-dimensional complex issue affecting wildlife and human health with voluntary programs primarily addressing the issue. Although little used in the past, social science theory has...
Impact of symptoms on quality of life in women with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and healthy women
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) experience a number of symptoms. The purpose of this study was to examine pain, fatigue, depression, sleep disturbance, and quality of life in women with RRMS and healthy women. Women ...
Influence of subclinical hypocalcemia on plasma biochemical parameters, liver histologic changes, and common postpartum diseases in dairy cows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
We hypothesized that cows with subclinical hypocalcemia at calving would have greater elevations in liver associated biochemical parameters and non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) concentrations compared to normocalcemic cows. ...
Phytoplankton response to water quality threats in Midwest reservoirs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Harmful cyanobacterial blooms and invasive species threaten water quality. These threats are expected to worsen in the future, emphasizing the need for creative management solutions and a thorough understanding of their ...
Effects of a consortia probiotic inoculant on soil microorganisms and impacts on autoinducers employed in quorum sensing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
cultivated soils were also studied under environmentally controlled conditions. Analysis of soil microbial community diversity was carried out with 16s rDNA PCR DGGE. To evaluate the second efficacy, two autoinducers were incubated in a controlled...
