Evaluation of fecal glucocorticoid metabolite assays for short-term stressors and validation for stress monitoring in African herbivores
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
validations compare two groups with different levels of adrenal activity, due to exogenous stimulation. We collected samples from seven herbivore species, representing a wide taxonomic range. Our laboratory validation produced parallel sample dilution curves...
Solid, aqueous, and gaseous: functional materials and advancements to reduce pollution in three forms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
and materials that are creative and multifunctional. In as much as possible, I have given thought to the feasible real-world applicability of this work. Firstly, I have produced and characterized an extensive series of activated carbons using waste plastics...
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...
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...
The politics of CO2 emissions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
political decentralization through federalism and per capita CO2 emissions. The analysis is based on three different measures of federalism for 176 countries from 1990 to 2014. The results show a null effect. This is not surprising given the argument...
