Digital literacies and WAC/WID
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
This thesis defines digital literacies for an audience of educators who want to integrate digital literacies into their existing curriculum. In this discussion, I examine how discipline-based faculty encourage and support digital literacies...
Do readers believe what they see? : reader acceptance of image manipulation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
in the local daily newspaper and how much they trust those images to truthfully depict the scene photograph. The study also looks for a correlation between a person's familiarity with imaging software and that person's views on, or expectations of, digital...
Longitudinal assessment of age-related change in the dental pulp chamber and age estimation using dental radiographs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
This dissertation presents a new and practical method of adult age estimation with successful tests of its validity and repeatability. Six qualitative criteria evident in oral radiographs were developed from 37 subjects represented on three...
Design and validation of a digital core for wireless communication with RFID-enabled devices
(University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2011-12-15)
A digital core was designed and successfully tested to communicate with RFID-enabled devices. This digital core comprises of a communication block and a control block. The communication block is made up of two blocks, namely, the receiver block...
Cognitive load and time based forgetting
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
or proportion of the interval consumed by an acoustic digit processing task. The results demonstrate that both cognitive load and absolute length of retention play important roles in the loss of information during short-term retention in the present procedure....
Decreases in working memory capacity for sentence stimuli with adult aging
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
these two hypotheses by presenting participants with 4 types of spoken sentences for immediate free recall, varied by the number and length of chunks per trial: 4 short, simple sentences; 8 such sentences; 4 compound sentences, meaningfully comprised of two...
Design of a low-power analog circuit for an implantable RFID-enabled device with passive pressure sensor
(University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2011-08-22)
A low-power analog core for an implantable RFID-enabled pressure measurement system is
designed. The analog core includes the power generation block for the system, the clock
extractor for the digital core and the pressure ...
Age differences in memory for names : the effect of pre-learned semantic associations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The present experiments investigated whether participants could use basic semantic information about a person (i.e., a "mediator"), such as an occupation, to help link that person's name to his or her face. In each of three experiments, older...
Willingness to return to digital learning resources : information environments of students following online course completion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Due to the fact that many universities have now moved considerably beyond brick-and-mortar walls and into the realm of online learning, the idea of learning "anywhere, anything, anytime" is truly becoming more of a reality. It is now suggested...
Simulating the effects of riparian zone delineation and management practices on landscape pattern and timber production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)
buffer based upon soil and topographic characteristics) upon the same landscape and the analysis of the results that each technique will have over a long period of time. These boundaries determined the extent to which even-aged harvesting practices would...
The effects of practice and working-practice homework on the math achievement of elementary school students showing varying levels of math performance
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
the effects of math calculation homework on the math performance of elementary school students demonstrating varying levels of achievement in math. The study also explored the effects of practice homework and a different type of homework, working...
Examining visual cognitive complexity in the context of online women's magazine home pages
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
An experiment (N=48) on 18 to 30 year-old women was run to see how the visual cognitive complexity of digital women's magazines' home pages affects the cognitive processing of individuals and their evaluations of the sites. A content analysis of 13...
Image compression and energy harvesting for energy constrained sensors
(2013)
The advances in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology
have led to the integration of all components of electronic system into a single integrated
circuit. Ultra-low power circuit techniques have reduced ...
A study of the changing television newsrooms with the diffusion of internet technologies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The Internet has revolutionized the way local television newsrooms operate. From news promotion to newscasts, almost every element of daily work within a local television station...
Prediction of clinical events in elderly using sensor data : a case study on pulse pressure
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
The primary goal of this research was to find a link between abnormal levels of daily activities, provided by a sensor monitoring system, and pulse pressure (PP), using data mining algorithms. A widened PP predicts a higher risk of subsequent...
