Practice-based evidence research design for lymphedema management
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Lymphedema (LE) is treated in Maccabi Healthcare Services (Maccabi) by LE physical therapists (LPTs). Until today, the knowledge of the extent of the problem in Israel, the interventions for patients with LE, and the ...
A systematic framework to improve knowledge management through information technology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Organizations rely on their IT infrastructure to perform on a daily basis, and a constant debate on whether the IT tools used are the appropriate ones to achieve their strategic planning objectives is always present. Many ...
A multi-configuration evaluation of the soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) in a mixed land use watershed in the central U.S.A.
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Distributed watershed hydrologic/water quality (H/WQ) models are ubiquitous tools for watershed management. Despite advancements, there remain impediments for end-users. This study presents a practical framework for use ...
Advanced nanodielectric material development and scaling for use in compact ultra-high voltage capacitor prototypes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
The dielectric material employed in this effort is a proprietary nanocomposite material, MU100. The material was initially developed to shrink high frequency, high voltage, dielectric loaded antennas; however, due to its unique material...
Three essays on phosphorus runoff and water quality
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
efforts to limit both residential and agricultural nonpoint source pollution. The results could be helpful policy makers to target specific regions to initiate environmental policies and extension efforts for designing educational programs to increase...
Climate and land use effects on hydrologic processes and water allocation in a primarily rain-fed, agricultural watershed
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
from 3 million m3 to 6 million m3. Increased irrigation equal 10% of crop land results in 38.5 million m3 of unmet water demand. If water from Mark Twain can be withdrawn for agriculture purposes, the unmet demand would lower by 30% compared...
Selected techniques for vehicle tracking and assessment in wide area motion imagery
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Tracking of vehicles in wide area motion imagery (WAMI) is very important for civilian and military surveillance. Tracking in a dataset that is characterized by very large format video with an extremely wide field-of-view ...
Searching for Interacting Early Type Galaxies at Late Cosmic Times
(2015)
Major gas-poor (dry) merging between two comparably massive spheroidal galaxies are post u-lated to be the central mechanism responsible for the assembly of the most massive (M[subscript star,tot] ≥ 10¹¹ M[subscript ☉]) elliptical galaxies...
Development of a scale for evaluating screening tests for cancer : attributes patients emphasize (escape)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The public's overenthusiasm for cancer screening tests has the potential to subject many individuals to harms such as overdetection and false positives. ...
Clothianidin decomposition in Missouri wetland soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Neonicotinoids are a class of pesticides that have been prevalently used in agriculture since the 1990s. Globally, most neonicotinoid application ...
Gas sorption in engineered carbon nanospaces

as high-capacity storage materials for natural gas (methane) and molecular hydrogen. The carbons have surface areas of up to 3500 m[2]/g, porosities of up to 0.8. Extensive characterizations of the surface and pore structure of samples were performed...
Low sensitivity to, and craving for, alcohol in naturalistic and laboratory settings
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Low sensitivity to alcohol is a well-established risk factor for the development of an alcohol use disorder. This risk is transmitted along several ...
Influence of entomopathogenic fungi from forest and urban habitats on founding pairs of reticulitermes flavipes (rhinotermitidae)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
In forest habitats, termites break down woody debris and assist in nutrient cycling of carbon and nitrogen. However, infestations in suburban habitats have given subterranean termites a high priority for pest management. ...
