An in depth evaluation of internal criteria for determining the number of clusters in a data set
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Clustering procedures partition data sets into groups, minimizing the distance within clusters while maximizing the distance between clusters. Clustering can be a powerful tool...
Generation, collection and characterization of nanoparticles and their diffusion in arbitrary tumor and normal tissue geometry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Nanoparticles have unique electronic, optical, mechanical, magnetic and chemical properties that are significantly different from those of the bulk materials. Because of this...
The Museum of Art and Archaeology : A Brief History
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Museum of Art and Archaeology, 2019)
What's New in Cataloging 2012?
(2015)
This presentation provided an overview of changes in cataloging standards and practices since June 2011. It was presented at the MOBIUS Annual Conference on June 6, 2012 in Columbia, Missouri....
Associations between psychosis risk and emotional distress disorders with cortical surface morphometry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Neuroimaging studies have consistently found structural cortical abnormalities in schizophrenia, especially in structural hubs. However, it is unclear what...
Statistical and simulation methods for evaluating stationary and mobile work zone impacts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
when traffic volumes are under 1400 veh/hr/ln, and preferably under 1000 veh/hr/ln, due to the drastic increase in the number of conflicts. In addition, three data driven models were developed to predict traffic speed inside a MWZ: a linear regression...
Rheological and morphological evolution of basaltic lava flows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
question of how pre-existing topography controls lava flow system structure in volume-limited flows (Soldati et al., accepted). I concluded that a steep slope results in a single, stable channel, whereas a gentle slope results in an unstable, braided...
A genetic approach to determine river otter abundance in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
's effects on sport fish populations have sparked controversy. The MDC responded by increasing efforts to monitor river otter populations, using latrine site counts to measure relative abundance across several rivers in Missouri. However, the actual number...
Photoacoustic detection of circulating tumor cells
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
based on the change in refractive index was developed to detect individual melanoma cells. The sensitivity of the optical based detector was high and has the resolution to determine the presence of extremely low number of metastatic and cultured cells (2...
Effects of pressure and temperature on the yield strength of tantalum and rhenium
(2013)
The effects of pressure and temperature on the yield strength of tantalum and
the effects of pressure on the yield strength of rhenium were investigated using ruby
fluorescence. A new Raman system with a motorized stage ...
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...
Mizzou, volume 101, number 1 (2012 Fall)

Modeling the financial impact of management decisions on loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Located primarily in the southeastern United States, Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) is a variety of Southern yellow pine that is often planted by non-industrial private landowners seeking a beneficial long-term investment ...
Numerical solutions to the Poisson equation in media surrounding multiple arbitrarily shaped bodies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The dissertation describes a general, efficient, and parallelized approach to solving the Poisson equation in the volume surrounding multiple, arbitrarily shaped bodies. Green...
Evaluation of the Agronomic, Environmental, Economic, and Coexistence Impacts Following the Introduction of GM Canola to Australia (2008-2010)
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2014)
Despite genetically modified (GM) canola receiving Australian regulatory approval in 2003, commercial production did not occur until 2008 due to concerns relating to coexistence. Following commercial release, a three-year ...
Assessing the Impact of Changing Climate on Agriculture in Missouri and the use of Crop Insurance as Adaptation Strategy (1980-2010)
(2015)
as an adaptation strategy by farmers in Missouri is driven primarily by the volume of crop production and not vulnerability to changing climate....
Effects of Selected Contaminants on the Physical, Chemical, and Geotechnical Properties of Aquifer Solid
(2014)
contaminants on the hydraulic conductivity of sand. Bulk sand samples from the Missouri River Valley aquifer— a major source of groundwater supply in the U.S. Midwest— were collected for this study. Sand samples, representing the aquifer and vadose zone...
Designing a LANDIS PRO harvest module and examining the effects of temporal resolution on simulation outcomes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
and testing of a disturbance module that simulates harvest events in the LANDIS PRO model. The design operates on quantitative attributes such as number of trees and basal area to control harvest events, giving the user the ability to parameterize harvest...
Investigation into lowering cement clinker content using available materials
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-08-17)
Reducing cement clinker with mineral addition has been considered an efficient way
