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...
A methodology for evaluation of research animal diagnostic and investigative laboratories
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1974)
of these laboratories. The benefit-cost ratio will then be examined to see if these laboratories represent an effective investment of public funds."--Introduction....
Perfect or imperfect match : impact of brand schema, information transparency and source of claim on apparel brand's sustainability claims /
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Theoretical and computational modeling of the dynamics of multicellular and lipid membrane systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
to create tissues in the laboratory for transplantation or drug testing. The outcome of the post-bioprinting process, where the bioink particles fuse to form the desired 3D tissue construct, is difficult to predict and experimental techniques have generally...
Digital wonders: examining awe-inspiring virtual reality as a tool to promote curiosity and exploration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
and exploratory behavior, such as information seeking, remains unclear. Using a mixed-methods approach, this dissertation asks how and to what extent awe fosters information seeking. This question was examined through a two-pronged approach. First, in a laboratory...
Evaluation of fecal glucocorticoid metabolite assays for short-term stressors and validation for stress monitoring in African herbivores
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
in glucocorticoid metabolism require assay validation for each species. Standard validation includes laboratory and biological validation. Laboratory validation evaluates if the assay can detect FGM using parallelism and exogenous hormone recovery tests. Biological...
Experimental evaluation of structural composites for blast resistant design
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
evaluated during the overhead protection roof panel experiment. Static resistance functions were developed using a combination of analytical and laboratory testing in order to obtain the panels response using a single-degree of freedom (SDOF) dynamic...
Teacher preparation impacts in regard to physiological stress of preservice educators within agricultural mechanics project construction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
The purpose of this study was to identify how the differences in teacher preparation impact the physiological stress teachers and teaching quality students experience within the agricultural mechanics laboratory setting, specifically when related...
Assessment of the CO2 sequestration potential of the Morrow-B Sandstone in the Farnsworth Unit, Northern Texas through numerical modeling and laboratory batch reaction experiments
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
efficacy based on three reactive transport simulators, and (3) to assess the impact of injected CO2 on the sandstone minerals through laboratory batch reaction experiments. The studies presented are part of ongoing efforts of the Southwest Partnership...
Source credibility and the persuasiveness of public saftey messages communicated via social media
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Social media communication networks such as Twitter and Facebook are changing the way organizations and communities alert the public of timely public safety information related to natural disasters, man-made events or other crises. This quantitative...
Soil solution chemistry and nutrient flux in Ozark Highland forest soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
to nutrient loss via leaching and decreased soil fertility following harvest than soils with greater nutrient supply capacity. Little information is available regarding soil solution chemistry and nutrient flux in highly weathered soils of the Missouri Ozark...
The transitional experience of home-schooled students entering public education : how can public schools better serve the home-schooled student's transition to public education?
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
This dissertation studied the transitional experience of home-schooled students in central/south central rural Missouri whose families decided to place them into the public school setting. Since the public school environment is markedly different...
Believe it or not: youth and young adult female perceptions of the credibility of online multimedia messages
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
on their comprehension and recognition of risk and benefit information. A 2 (source) x 3 (emotional tone) factorial design online experiment was conducted on youth and young adult women. Results showed that the emotional tone of a message influences the way...
Environmental analysis of pathology laboratory patient service centers: a pattern of language approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
This thesis employs the theories underlying environment and behavior research to address the needs of a pathology laboratory organization. The main focus of this work is to establish basic space requirements for new patient laboratory facilities...
Who did what?: age-related differences in memory for people and their actions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The associative-deficit hypothesis (ADH), proposed by Naveh-Benjamin (2000), holds that the decline in episodic memory that accompanies aging is at least partially due to an inability to bind single units of information into more complex units...
Power and negotiation in safety program development in a research university
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
that meta-power may alter normal power relationships and planning outcomes across space and time. This case study explored the decision making processes and outside influences on the development of a laboratory safety training program at a research...
