Race, Language and the Urban Landscape: On Material Effects of Racialized Identity Formations
(UMKC Honors Program, 2017)
Rights Movement, segregation and particularly the
hyper-segregation of whites has grown. Distance between racial
groups is evident in practically every area of social life, from
housing, employment, and education to health, political access...
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...
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...
Effect of Interactive Education on Self-foot Exams in Type 2 Diabetes
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)
In the United States, 30 million individuals are affected by type 2 diabetes, with all at risk for
complications and decreased quality of life. Diabetic foot ulcers and amputations cost $4.9 billion
annually in the ...
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...
Advanced Light Field Frame Prediction For Optimized Compression
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
Current light field compression techniques lack robustness to handle both rate
distortion optimized motion compensation as well as latency during the encoding and
decoding process. This paper focuses on a contribution ...
Conversations on suicide : 13 Reasons Why
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
The television series 13 Reasons Why, released in March 2017, was followed by a wave of controversy over how it portrayed the suicide of its protagonist. Some critics thought that the show handled the suicide exceptionally well; others thought...
Treatment-Resistant Depression Diagnosis in the Outpatient Behavioral Health Setting
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2023)
Treatment-resistant depression can be challenging to identify in the outpatient behavioral health setting due to a lack of clear diagnostic guidelines. The evidence-based quality improvement project examined current practices in diagnosing treatment...
Mediterranean Eating for Persons with Parkinson’s Disease: An Evidence-Based Dietary Educational Intervention
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2021)
Parkinson’s disease requires holistic management to improve the quality of life in affected
persons and prevent complications associated with other comorbidities such as cardiovascular
disease. The purpose of this ...
Online Breastfeeding Training for Increasing Staff Knowledge and Breastfeeding Initiation Rates on a Mother/Infant Unit
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2021)
of this quality improvement project was to retrospectively evaluate an evidence-based, online breastfeeding education series for staff on a mother/infant unit at a Missouri hospital. The outcomes measured were staff knowledge and hospital breastfeeding rates. A...
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...
