Characterization of soybean rooting depth in response to different environmental conditions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
root rooting depths and root elongation rates were selected based on greenhouse experiment and grown under rainfed field conditions. The core break method was used to assess root distributions of these genotypes in two years. The main goals...
Deep learning methods for 360 monocular depth estimation and point cloud semantic segmentation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
360 image as input, produces one or more synthesized views in the first stage, and feeds the original image and the synthesized images into the subsequent stereo matching stage. Utilizing the explicit stereo-based geometric constraints, PanoDepth can...
Planting depth within-field soil variability effects on corn stand establishment and yield
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
by changing planting depth, but individual plant performance revealed trends based on growing season, soil texture, and planting depth. On the claypan landscape investigation, stand establishment showed contrasting trends impacted by warm and cool growing...
Experimental investigation of the Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) method for estimating depth of bedrock in Central Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
, the bedrock depth predictions were unreliable with errors as large 58 percent. Therefore, in practice, the HVSR relationship developed in this study should only be used at sites where shale is known to be absent, based on supplemental information. The HVSR...
Analysis of the parallel seismic method for foundation reuse
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
The focus of this thesis is the application of the Parallel Seismic method to determine the depths of unknown foundations. The method involves exciting stress waves in the pile foundations from impacts on the superstructure and recording waves...
Estimating at-vessel mortality rates of shortfin mako sharks caught in the US pelagic longline fishery and examining environmental drivers of their depth use in the North Atlantic Ocean
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
depth, and shark size were important in the GOM, whereas soak time, shark size, and SST were important in the WNA. In both regions, AVM increased in warmer waters. The relationship between shark size and AVM differed between regions where larger sharks...
A qualitative study of administrator and teacher perceptions of changing instructional practices with 1:1 technology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Reports on changing instructional practices with one-to-one (1:1) technology suggest positive increases in academic engagement, test scores, and preparing for 21st century...
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...
Agroforestry buffer, biomass crop, and grain crop effects on soil quality and soil water use
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
the impacts of perennial vegetation practices and soil depth on soil water dynamics as compared to row crop system; (iv) to evaluate the effects of long-term perennial management and cropping systems, landscape positions, and the distance from the base of a...
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...
Great expectations : a qualitative study of selection, school preparation, and implementation of a professional development program
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
at both schools with some differences in the emotional aspects. Again, the experiences were more positive at the new school. The practices to maintain fidelity of implementation revealed several similarities, with differences in human resources provided...
Impact of Penetrating Sealers and Internally Mixed Hydrophobic Compounds on Durability of Concrete
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)
Durability of concrete is greatly impacted by infiltration of water into its pores.
Utilizing penetrating sealers can help improve the concrete’s durability. Penetrating sealers
come in a variety of forms, but the most ...

(2016)
The late eighth-century Historia Langobardorum by Paul the Deacon is a narrative
history of the Lombard people from their mythic origins up to the reign of King Liutprand in
Italy in 744. As the only history of its ...
An examination of technology-based formative assessment feedback and the impact on student learning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Although researchers have provided evidence to support the effectiveness of collaborative and cooperative learning (Magana & Marzano, 2014; Marzano, 2006) and embedding formative assessment within instruction (Black & Wiliam, 2009; Wiliam, 2011...
Performance tests on asphalt mixtures at multiple temperatures and development of pavement temperature maps
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
in the coldest areas, whereas rutting is a pavement damage more characteristic of warmer parts of the country. Relevant literature review has suggested that asphalt materials need to be characterized based on environmental and loading conditions at which mixtures...
Exploring the relationship between students' level of content knowledge and their ability to engage in scientific argumentation using structural equation modeling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
