Are Hedonic Second-Stage Characteristic Demand Reflective of Actual Characteristic Demands?
(2003-10)
direct procedure. We model wheat protein because of the extensive previous research on valuing wheat protein and the availability of data to estimate direct protein demand models. Our results indicate concern in using indirect generated data to estimate...
Determinants of Beef and Pork Brand Equity
(2003-11)
A set of consumer-level characteristic demand models were estimated to determine the level of brand equity for pork and beef meat cuts. Results indicate that brand premiums and discounts vary by private, national, and store ...

Direct-from-sputum rapid phenotypic drug susceptibility test for mycobacteria
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
The spread of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a leading global public-health challenge. Because not all biological-mechanisms of resistance are known, culture-based (phenotypic) drug-susceptibility testing ...
Does early androgen exposure moderate developmental plasticity?
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Little is known about what mechanisms allow some individuals more than others to flexibly develop cognitive competencies and behavioral biases while growing up to better meet the demands of their ecology, a phenomenon known ...
Letting customers win: live chat agent effectiveness in B2C sales negotiations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Sales negotiations over Internet-enabled live chat portals are increasingly common in business-to-consumer (B2C) durable product sales, but little is known about sales agent effectiveness in this context. Drawing from ...
Gene expression profiling of bovine ovarian follicular selection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Lack of, or abnormal, ovarian follicular development is a major factor associated with impaired fertility in mammals. However, development of new treatments is limited by our poor understanding of ovarian follicular ...
The effect of big four office size on audit quality
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Larger offices of Big Four accounting firms are argued to provide higher quality audits than smaller offices due to greater in-house experience and more expertise in ministering the audits of publicly listed clients. In ...
Maternity roost selection of Indiana bats (myotis sodalis) and occupancy of two threatened myotine bat species on national wildlife refuges in northern Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
of an extensive network of available roost trees. To identify the local- and landscape-scale factors associated with occupancy of M. sodalis and M. septentrionalis, we used ANABAT SD1 acoustic detectors to record the echolocation calls of passing bats at 87 sites...
Changes in stable carbon isotopes of methane along a salinity gradient in a hypersaline microbial mat system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The purpose of this study was to examine how the stable carbon isotopes of methane and possible methanogenic substrates change in microbial mat communities as a function of salinity. Microbial mats were sampled from four ...
Associations between psychosis risk and emotional distress disorders with cortical surface morphometry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Neuroimaging studies have consistently found structural cortical abnormalities in schizophrenia, especially in structural hubs. However, it ...
