Multilevel models for intensive longitudinal data with heterogeneous error structure : covariance transformation and variance function models
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Recent developments in data collection methods in the behavioral and social sciences, such as Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) enables researchers to gather intensive longitudinal data (ILD) and to examine more detailed ...
Consumers and GM Food Labels : Providing Information or Sowing Confusion?

Labeling policies for genetically modified (GM) foods are under intense scrutiny and development worldwide. The fact that Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex) -- the international body primarily responsible for food ...
Effect of plagioclase crystallization on liquid and magma viscosity in the Anorthite-diopside-dorsterite-quartz system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
SiO2 (CMAS) glasses were synthesized as analogs for dacitic and basaltic lavas. Liquid viscosities were measured between 101 and 1013 Pa s, over the temperature range of approximately 1600 to 700⁰C, using concentric cylinder ...
