Relation of Missouri river flows to sandbar morphology with implications for selected biota
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
.e. an aquatic-terrestrial zone (ATTZ), within the main channel of the lower Missouri River. Predictive models of sandbar morphometry (area, wetted perimeter, elevation, and water-surface slope) were developed to determine how changes in discharge affect...
An ATP/EMTP model for the study of both normal and abnormal substation equipment operation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In electric utility, overcurrent and overvoltage transients in switching operations often cause severe damage on the power system equipments. In this study, Alternative...
Development of shear wave velocity profiles in the deep sediments of the Mississippi Embayment using surface wave and spectral ratio methods
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
, Tennessee, and Missouri. These measurements were performed using the low-frequency field vibrator developed as part of the NSF Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) program. Shear wave velocity profiles were developed to depths...
Structural geology, tectonic geomorphology, and neotectonics of the central Afar Rift, Ethiopia and Djibouti
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
The central Afar depression offers an opportunity for quantitative analysis of the final stages of continental breakup at a divergent triple junction. Here, Quaternary faulting dissects Plio-Pleistocene flood basalts, ...
Pluton source varition over two magmatic pulses in the white-inyo range, central-eastern California : implications for paleozoic and mesozoic tectonic reconstructions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This dissertation uses compositions of plutons in the White-Inyo Range (WIR) of central-eastern California, which is an important tectonic boundary as it is the easternmost...
Learning potential in persons with serious mental illness: investigating intra-individual differences in the learning process
(2015-05-19)
Learning potential has been explored as a possible mechanism to predict positive
rehabilitation outcomes in people with SMI (e.g., Green et al. 2000). More recent
research has identified a strong relationship between ...
Detrital zircon geochronology of the Upper Miocene Boleo Formation in the Santa Rosalia, Baja California Sur, Mexico
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)
The Santa Rosalía Basin (SRB), Baja California Sur, is a transtentional to rift basin
that formed during the opening of the Gulf of California. The Boleo Formation is the oldest
and dominant sedimentary fill of the ...
O, Beastly Jew!: Allegorical Anti-Judaism in Thirteenth Century English Bestiaries
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)
This thesis outlines the traditional anti-Judaic allegories found in the medieval
bestiary genre, demonstrates the transformations of these allegories within the English
scriptoria, and examines how these allegories ...
Intentions to Eat a Healthy Diet: Applying the Theory of Planned Behavior in an African American Faith-Based Population
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)
, normative beliefs, control beliefs, intentions to perform a health behavior and the behavior itself. The purpose of the current study is to examine intentions to eat a healthy diet and dietary behaviors (i.e., F/V and fat intake) in a sample of African...
Metamorphism of the Wales Group and Moira Group on Prince of Wales and Dall Islands, southeastern Alaska
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This study examines the metamorphic history of the Proterozoic to Early Ordovician Wales Group and the newly-named Ordovician to Silurian Moira Group exposed on Prince of Wales...
The role of physical health on life satisfaction in people with serious mental illness
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-09-20)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the contribution of physical health and mental health on quality of life reports in people with serious mental illness. Examining the role of physical health is especially ...
An investigation of hydrogen gas in olivine
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-04-26)
This study was designed to explain natural seeps of hydrogen gas. Ordinarily
H2 occurrences are regarded to be product of the process of serpentinization.
However other sources or explanation may exist for the natural ...
Inertial electrostatic confinement: theoretical and experimental studies of spherical devices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC) is a means to confine ions for fusion purposes with electrostatic fields in a converging geometry. Its engineering simplicity makes it appealing when compared to magnetic confinement ...
Assessment of Seismic Hazards along the Northern Gulf of Aqaba
