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...
Resolving space-time strain paths of the Panamint and Cottonwood Mountains, eastern California, through bedrock thermochronology and detrital geochronology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
The landscape in Death Valley region is the result of a complex history that includes Miocene Basin and Range extension and Miocene to recent transtension. Despite being one of the best studied regions in the world, ...
Environmental drivers of Northern bobwhite fall and winter survival and resource selection in Southwest Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
, while there was a negative effect of grass on winter resource selection. Woody cover was an important component of vegetation contributing to fall and winter survival and resource selection of bobwhite in Missouri. More specifically, proximity to shrubs...
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...
Anisotropy and mantle flow of the Indo-Burma subduction zone from shear wave splitting and shear wave splitting tomography
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
The Indo-Burma subduction zone lies on the eastern boundary of the 1500 km long Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt. Despite highly oblique plate motion with limited arc development, convergence is still ongoing with the potential ...
The relationship between medication adherence, health literacy and social support network in the hypertensive emergency department patient
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Hypertension (HTN) is a major risk factor for the development of heart disease, which is the number one cause of death in the United States (U.S.). The Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA) led to a significant increase in emergency department (ED...
Disentangling alcohol-specific alcohol use disorder criteria from externalizing psychopathology using an empirically driven approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Within current mental disorder classification systems, alcohol use disorder (AUD) and psychopathology, more broadly, are conceptualized as distinct categorical disorders. Recent classification research has focused on ...
