Northern bobwhite brood ecology and population dynamics in southwest Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) have experienced widespread, long-term population declines. Bobwhite populations in Missouri have declined 2.7% annually between 1966 and 2015, and 3.5% annually between 2005 and 2015, for a cumulative loss...
Entrained Air-Void System For Durable Highway Concrete
(2020)
In the US, the most commonly used F-T test method is AASHTO T 161 “A.” The equipment for variant A of the test is relatively low cost (~$22, 000) and compact. The relatively low cost stems from the basic construction of a ...
Hydrodynamic characteristics and capillary-assisted heat transfer enhancement of non-condensing/condensing two-phase flows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Interfacial characteristics of two-phase flows were studied through visualization experiments and numerical simulation using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based on the volume-of-fluid (VOF)-continuum surface force (CSF) method...
Validating the use of machine learning techniques in evaluating additive manufactured elastic materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] As additive manufacturing continues to find widespread use in research and industry and the number of materials suitable for use in additive manufacturing, there is increasing...

Stochastic forms of functional isoperimetric inequalities
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
significance. On the other hand, it was recently shown that the Brunn-Minkowski inequality, specialized to convex sets, follows from a local stochastic dominance for naturally associated random polytopes. In addition, a number of other geometric inequalities...
A numerical simulation of a single shock-accelerated particle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Particle drag models, which capture macro viscous and pressure effects, have been developed over the years for various flow regimes to enable cost effective simulations...
Using metabolic and biochemical characteristics of postmortem muscle to investigate the interconnectedness of beef color, flavor, and tenderness
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Understanding relationships between beef palatability and quality components are crucial for continued production of high quality and consistent beef products. Myoglobin concentrations at 48 and 336 h resulted in moderate, ...
A Real-World Implementation-Effectiveness Study of Cognitive Enhancement Therapy for People with Schizophrenia
(2020)
The purpose of this study was to examine the implementation and effectiveness of Cognitive Enhancement Therapy (CET) within a real-world, community mental health program. Evidence-based programs for people with schizophrenia ...

Top-soil root architecture characteristics of obsolete and modern soybean cultivars and shoot and seed nutrient contents
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI--COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Soybean (Glycine max Merr.) is one of the most important cash crops worldwide. It is widely used to produce oil and protein for food and animal feed. Soybean grain...
Quantitative Characterization of Billowed Structures Along the Margins of Basaltic Intrusions to Determine Process and Timing of Formation: Case Studies from Big Bend National Park, Texas and 71 Gulch, Idaho
(2021)
By constraining the conditions in which billowed structures form, the conditions of explosive vs. non-explosive magma-water interaction can be further revealed, improving our understanding of how magma propagates and ...
Making the Frontier’s Anatomical Engineers: Osteopathy, A. T. Still (1828–1917), his Acolytes and Patients
