Forecasting wind speeds at tall tower heights within Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Forecasting of wind speeds is necessary for the planning and operations of the wind power generating plants. This research investigates the short term forecasting of wind speeds at tall tower heights for stations within Missouri: Columbia, Neosho...
Development and initial validation of the International Students' Advising Relationships scale (iSTAR)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
The International Student's Advising Relationship scale (iSTAR) was developed to allow counselors, educators, and researchers to assess international students' relationship with their advisors from a cultural lens. An exploratory factor analysis...
Mathematics textbooks and state curriculum standards : an analysis of the alignment between the written and intended curricula
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
populous states that use a system of statewide textbook adoption and the five most populous states that are "open territory" comprised the state sample, while two popular elementary (K-6) textbook series and two popular middle grades (6-8) textbook series...
Decadal mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet from satellite radar altimetry and its contribution to global sea level change
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
period of 1992 - 2003. Several techniques are developed to improve the processing and analysis of both low and high resolution elevation change time series. Our research results show that the majority of the East Antarctica interior regions are thickening...
Sustainable chemical approaches to two-dimensional nanosheets and mesoporous platforms and catalysts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
and biological applications. As a two-dimensional material, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has drawn wide attention due to its fascinating properties and exciting application prospects. However, in order to access these properties, which lie within single- or few...
Variation in the carbohydrate and diastase contents of the tissues after feeding
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1918)
The literature of carbohydrate hydrolysis dates from 1912 when Kirchoff (1) hydrolized starch to sugar with strong acids. Dubunfraut (2) in 1830 got the same result with an extract of malt. The active principle of malt was ...
The impact of residence hall leadership on international students' cross-cultural adaptation

The synthesis of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen was studied on a multi-promoted iron catalyst in a packed bed reactor under the influence of electrodynamic field. Two different experimental conditions were studied. In the first series...
Internal crisis communication : the effects of negative employee-organization relationships and negative emotions on reputation and employees' unsupportive behavior
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
This study examines the role that negative employee-organization relationships (NEORs) play in determining crisis outcomes (organization's internal reputation and employees' unsupportive behavior). Moreover, the study aims to determine whether...
Phonons and thermal neutron scattering in [gamma]-U and U-Mo alloys
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
. Such modifications allowed us to generate thermal scattering cross sections for U-10Mo and U-7Mo at different temperatures and enrichment levels. The phonon density of states, which is the main input needed to calculate the cross sections, was generated through...
