Nutrients, chlorophyll and bacterial fecal indicators in coves and open water areas of Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Urban development and use of septic tanks in porous soils of Lake of the Ozarks poses a threat to public health via leaching into drinking wells and coves used for swimming. During 2 summers, phosphorus (TP), nitrogen (TN), chlorophyll (Chl), fecal...
The effects of various planes of nutrition upon the cost of maintenance, reproduction, and development of beef cows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
The frequency with which valuable animals reproduce themselves has always been a factor of economic importance in the pure bred cattle business. Great economic changes during the last few years have made this an important factor in the grade cattle...

(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
, and the legislative decision to guarantee a minimum (hold harmless) payment per student to analyze whether funding for Missouri public schools was more equitable than the pre-1993 OSA formula. Specific fiscal years from 1998-99 through 2005-06 were selected...
A meta-analytic review of the relation between impulsivity-related traits and family history of alcoholism
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
was much larger among those with more than one alcoholic family member (d = -.66 [95% CI: -1.10, -.22], k = 3). A small-to-moderate effect size was found for sensation seeking (d = .30 [95% CI: .21, .40], k = 29) and was moderated by age (Z = 3.09, p = .002...
Use of main channel and shallow-water habitat by larval fishes in the lower Missouri River
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
or equal to] 5 cm/s. Silver/bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix/nobilus) exhibited no selection based on water depth or current velocity. Chub spp. selected depths between 20-50 cm and areas 2-3 m from the waters edge. The larval fish assemblage...
Wealth accumulation differences between wage-earning and entrepreneurial families : the role of active saving behavior
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
This study examines the causal relationship between entrepreneurship and wealth accumulation. Saving behavior is a potential source of family wealth differentials. It is proposed that entrepreneurial families exhibit more accelerated active saving...
A formal evaluation of storm type versus storm motion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
, careful selection of the level(s) of the wind to use is critical. By comparing actual storm motion in the 18 cases to isothermal wind motion at -20, -10, and 0[degrees]C, a more definitive correlation of storm type versus storm motion is obtained with less...
An ecological systems approach to reduce children's encounters with obscenity on the internet
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Ecological Systems Model to solve the problem of children's encounters with online obscenity. The ecological systems perspective is a framework for recommendations and solutions. When each environmental system from the model collaborate in effort toward a...
Genetic variation and health in rural Caribbean village
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
, highlighting the regionally variable nature of admixture throughout the Caribbean and unique historical outcomes in Dominica. Genome-wide association tests of cardiometabolic phenotypes identify a genomic region of interest downstream of the ANK3 gene...
Secondary benefits of family member participation in treatments for childhood disorders : a multilevel meta-analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
. In the present study, a three-level meta-analysis was used to (a) characterize the nature and quality of research on the secondary benefits of family-based treatments for childhood disorders, (b) synthesize the findings and estimate an overall effect size...
A digestive phospholipase a2 in Midguts of worker honey bees, Apis mellifera : significance in lipid nutrition and health
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
and susceptible to specific PLA2 inhibitors. Through a cryopreservation study of this PLA2 in honey bee midgut preparations, I confirmed that the honey bee digestive PLA2 preparations are physically stable, with high activity after storage at -80[degrees]C...
Organoisocyanates: the conformational stability determination by infrared, raman and microwave spectroscopy and ab initio calculation
(University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2012)
) in the annealed solid but in the fluid phases most of the molecules have energies above the barriers of the two predicted bound vibrational states i.e., trans and gauche forms. For dimethylsilylisocyanate, the low wavenumber Raman spectrum of the gas with a...
Two brief treatments based on dialectical behavior therapy for binge eating across diagnoses and thresholds : results from a preliminary randomized dismantling study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
for stepped care and avenues for future research, including replication with a larger sample, further dismantling (e.g., DBT vs. behavior chain analysis; DBT vs. mindful eating), and comparison with other available treatments (e.g., treatment as usual; CBT...
Essays on labor market policies in Korea
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
This dissertation examines the impact of employment protection regulations using job duration data in Korea. In 2007, the Korean government introduced a labor market reform that required employers to convert a worker's contract from a temporary...
