Studies of ruminant digestion, ecology, and evolution
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
. In one analysis, we showed the relative feed value system did not explain variation in these parameter estimates, underscoring a biological limitation of this system. In a subsequent analysis, we found that ruminal digestibility estimated from mean...
The culture wars & political polarization in perspective : why polarization and its perturbations are a persistant [i.e., persistent] puzzle in political science
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
and GSS cumulative data from 1970 - 2008 on several prominent social issues such as abortion, women's equality, affirmative action, and non-social issues such as government jobs programs and defense spending. I examine public opinion polarization as well...
Lifestyle treatment in the regression of NASH: insulin resistance, lipid synthesis, and methodological innovation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
content which was related to total liver CER only in these animals. Plasma CER concentrations were measured in subjects with advanced NASH before and after a nine-month lifestyle program (and a standard care group) and the change in 16:0 CER was negatively...
Middle and late woodland period cultural transmission, residential mobility, and aggregation in the deep South
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
of population dynamics, intergroup cultural transmission (i.e., interaction) is inferred from changes in intra-assemblage ceramic decorative diversity and interassemblage ceramic distance across a 1000-year ceramic sequence. Two periods, ca. A.D. 200-370 and ca...
Simulating prehistoric population dynamics and adaptive behavioral responses to the environment in Long House Valley and Black Mesa, Arizona
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
This project contributes to our understanding of human adaptability to environmental stress and climate change in Long House Valley and Black Mesa, Arizona from AD 800-1350. This was accomplished through the development of a series of agentbased...
Specific bio-modeling and analysis techniques at cellular and systems level
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
focuses on mathematical models at the systems level. Specifically, thermal physiology models of the entire human body are developed using statistical and black box (artificial neural network, ANN) techniques.The MU 2-D Man, a human thermal model has been...
