What are the causes of hypomagnesemia?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2005)
, and malnutrition (strength of recommendation: C, based on expert opinion, physiology, and case series). Evidence suggests that magnesium deficiency is both more common and more clinically significant than generally appreciated....
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...
Computational studies of three chemical systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
are examined to better understand the process by which self-assembly of the nanocapsule occurs. The second topic is the study of the addition of H2O and O2 to vanadyl complexes of the form [VOX(NCCH3)]+ where X = F-, Cl-, Br-, I-, and OH-. Changing the identity...
Designated hospice rooms in nursing homes : a new model of end-of-life care
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
features present in designated hospice rooms; and a prevailing emphasis on accommodating the needs of family members. The findings from this study will be beneficial to nursing home owners and administrators, social workers, and architects dedicated...
Molecular mechanism, binding free energy, and sequence selectivity of intercalation of doxorubicin and DNA
(2021)
selectivity depends mainly on the base pairs located downstream from the DOX intercalation site, with a preference for (AT)2 or (TA)2 driven by the favorable electrostatic and/or van der Waals interactions. Invoking the quartet sequence model proved to be most...
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...
Meretites' Faience Ushebtis: An Analysis and Determination of their Production in a Late Period or Ptolemaic Workshop
(2010)
The hundreds of faience shabtis in an individual Late Period burial demanded a significant production effort within a workshop. Petrie's discovery of thousands of molds for small faience objects in Amarna (1891-92) and Memphis (1908-13) led...
Historical review of financial equity in Missouri : 1993 foundation formula and amendments
(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...
Principal and teacher beliefs and knowledge regarding grade retention : a case study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
school district was found to be a widely accepted practice among teachers. Principals did not agree with the practice of grade retention, but did not rule out the use of retention, especially in the primary grades. Principals and teachers possessed very...
Design and synthesis of group 8 transition metal complexes for C-C bond forming valorization of carbon dioxide
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
development studies have focused on the transformation of CO2 into C1 products, such as carbon monoxide or methanol, the reductive coupling of CO2 to produce new C-C bonds is an emerging field that has the potential to produce valuable commodities in a...
Clustering in relational data and ontologies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
This dissertation studies the problem of clustering objects represented by relational data. This is a pertinent problem as many real-world data sets can only be represented by relational data for which object-based clustering algorithms...
Some economic aspects of the farm poultry enterprise
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1935)
A Hybrid Modeling Approach to Assess the Efficacy of Control Measures on Paratuberculosis on U.S. Dairy Farms
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)
Paratuberculosis, also known as Johne's disease or JD, is a chronic contagious
infection, caused by Mycobaterium avium paratuberculosis (MAP). This fatal disease
is incurable and causes considerable economic losses to ...
Chemical modifications to produce soy-based polyols
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
for further reaction to form polyols in a batch reactor. Two different heat polymerization approaches were studied: non-catalyzed and catalyzed soybean oil using as catalyst. A continuous flow reactor was designed to evaluate and compare with the batch reactor...
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...
