Influence of site conditions on near-field effects in multi-channel surface wave measurements
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
to develop shear wave velocity (Vs) profiles which are directly related to the small-strain shear modulus (G) of the soil, an important parameter for dynamic and static geotechnical analysis. One of the potential sources of error in SWM is the underestimation...
The relationship between teacher classroom management profiles and related teacher stress: a latent profile analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
The study was a latent profile analysis of teacher classroom management styles. The data used were derived from a randomized control trial that examined the efficacy of the CHAMPS behavior management program on middle school teachers. There were 187...
A profile analysis of diagnostic data from college students experiencing math difficulty
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Level, shape and scatter are three characteristics of profiles that determine the specific focus of profile analysis procedures. In this study, three methods of profile analysis that emphasize each of these characteristics are analyzed: cluster...
"Here's me in a nutshell": the textual performance of self in male online dating profiles
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-03-13)
scholarship by analyzing the textual content posted in the free-write sections of dating profiles on Match.com. My sample consists of Match.com profiles of 60 white males from medium-sized Midwest metropolitan areas who have never been married and who do...
Attitudes toward marriage and divorce in East Asia
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
profiles were identified: conservative (10.8%), progressive (79.6%), married men less happy (3.1%), and married women less happy (6.5%). People in the conservative profile, where South Koreans accounted for 45.8%, were more likely to be older, currently...
Harmonic wavelet analysis of surface waves at complex geotechnical sites
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
of applications. Since their introduction in the 1980's, surface wave methods have evolved from the two-channel Spectral-Analysis-of-Surface-Waves (SASW) method to multi-channel, full waveform inversion methods that require hundreds of time records collected using...
The black inside the blue : black law enforcement officers' perceptions of racial profiling in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Nationally, law enforcement agencies are under tremendous scrutiny in reference to racial profiling. A gap exists in knowledge of Black law enforcement officers? in Missouri perceptions of racial profiling. Missouri has experienced a...
Navigating cultural crossroads : a family-centered approach of studying acculturative stress and career identity among Filipino and Korean American youth
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
stressors. Using a large-scale survey dataset from the Midwest Longitudinal Study of Asian American Families (MLSAAF) project, I conducted latent profile analyses to determine whether there were distinct parent-youth acculturative profiles among Filipino...
Methods for high-resolution soil-landscape modeling in midwest upland landscapes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Traditional soil mapping concepts do not sufficiently address the spatial resolution of some soil management problems. Continuous models of soil profiles and landscapes are needed to move beyond the categorical paradigm of horizons and soil map...
A novel framework for protein structure prediction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Proteins are one of the most important molecules in the life processes. The structure of a protein is essential in understanding the function of a protein at the molecular level. Due to rapid progress in sequencing ...
Raman imaging of counterflow diffusion flames
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1995)
of the fuel dilution cases. Raman images of these flames are converted into temperature and major species mole fraction profiles. Mixture fraction and scalar dissipation rate profiles are generated from the mole fraction information. Strain rate...
A direct approach for computationally efficient low-thrust trajectory optimization
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
optimization. This research discusses the choice of control variables, control profile discretization, and the determination of the number of control nodes. Case studies are presented, including a benchmark from GTO to GEO, demonstrating the benefits over using...
The relationship between organizational commitment and job satisfaction in Missouri public school teachers in 2023
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
, followed by CC, and lastly, NC, showing that teachers were committed to their school district because of desire or necessity rather than obligation. The relationship between teachers' job satisfaction and their commitment profile was measured with a chi...
A holographic interferometry study of an axisymmetric shock-wave/boundary-layer strong interaction flow
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1986)
An experimental study of the axisymmetric shock-wave/ turbulent boundary-layer strong-interaction flow generated in the vicinity of a cylinder-cone intersection has been conducted. The present data are useful in the ...
Assessment of Seismic Hazards along the Northern Gulf of Aqaba
(2014-09-26)
Aqaba and Elat are very important port and recreation cities for the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and Israel, respectively. The two cities are the most susceptible to damage from a destructive future earthquake because they ...
Determining the relationship between the Garlock fault and the Eastern California shear zone through detailed digital mapping and age characterization of faulted landforms, Southeastern California
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
[EMBARGOED UNTIL 8/1/2024] Southeastern California is known for complex fault networks that accommodate strain from Pacific-North American plate convergence. The 250-km-long, left-lateral Garlock fault is integral to this ...
The Effect of Thermal Annealing on Phase Separation in Organic Photovoltaic Films
(2015)
In our research, we used amplitude modulated atomic force microscopy to
study the effect of thermal annealing on the morphology of four recently developed
bulk heterojunction photovoltaic films. Each cell was fabricated ...
Sorption and leaching characteristics of heavy metals in artificial soil
