Period traveling salesman with customer stratification
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
the efficiency and balance of the routing schedule of LSRs and (2) develop a new strategy to maximize customers' value functions by stratifying visit frequencies. PTSP is a generalization of TSP as an NP-hard problem; an exact solution approach would most likely...
The kinetics of non-catalyzed supercritical water reforming of ethanol
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
point, 374[degrees]C and 22.1 MPa, and exhibits both liquid and gas-like properties and acts a non-polar solvent. Since supercritical water is denser than steam, supercritical water reactors have the potential of being smaller than their catalytic...
Analysis and design of reinforced concrete wall systems for blast
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
/prestressed concrete and insulated tilt-up concrete sandwich panels for exterior walls is common practice. These forms of construction provide a thermally efficient and high-mass wall that enhances the energy efficiency and blast resistance of the building making...

with enthalpy difference relative to Tt for Tg of 79 ± 9 cm⁻¹ (0.9 ± 0.1 kJ/mol); for Gg of 91 ± 26 cm⁻¹ (1.08 ± 0.3 kJ/mol); for Gg' of 135 ± 21 cm⁻¹ (1.61 ± 0.2 kJ/mol); for Gt of 143 ± 11 cm⁻¹ (1.71 ± 0.1 kJ/mol). For 2-cyanoethylamine, the enthalpy...
Identifying risk patterns for suicide attempts in individuals with diabetes : a data-driven approach using LASSO regression
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
potential risk factors for suicide attempts in individuals with diabetes through a literature review; (2) to investigate risk factors for suicide attempts in individuals with diabetes using LASSO regression; (3) to identify risk patterns for suicide attempts...
Meramec regional profile
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division., 1974)
, and in assessing their strengths, weaknesses and potentials. It is also hoped that these profiles will fortify the concept of planning and working together on a regional basis. The U.S. Bureau of the Census, with its variety of documents, has served as one...
Tourist motivation to use homestays in Thailand and their satisfaction based on the destination's cultural and heritage based attribute
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
This research explores the motivations and demographic characteristics of tourists and investigates which attributes satisfy tourists who visit cultural destinations. It is hypothesized that tourists' overall satisfaction of a destination is a...
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...
The adsorption of environmental pollutants in gas and aqueous media utilizing nano-scale materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
the ‘tuning' of properties on a porous carbon is required to target each different adsorbate; no single property is universally linked to higher capacities. Apart from aqueous pollutants, the adsorption of CO2 was thoroughly investigated on many porous carbons...

(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
phenomenological study was to describe the Ghanaian advanced cancer patients' experiences when interacting with the palliative care team about end-of-life care and decisions. Thirteen advanced cancer patients were purposively interviewed. Data was analyzed using a...
Effects of late gestational copper, zinc, and manganese source and inclusion in beef cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
A study was conducted to determine the effects of source and inclusion of Cu, Zn, and Mn during late gestation on cow and calf mineral status, fetal growth, and offspring immune function and pre-weaning performance. Cows received 1 of 4 treatment...
