(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Measurements of conodonts, phosphatic brachiopods, and authigenic phosphate show no consistent trends in [superscript TM]18O[subscript phos] values but do show a gradual 2-3 unit [epsilon][subscript Nd] increase across the ...
A multi-configuration evaluation of the soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) in a mixed land use watershed in the central U.S.A.
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Distributed watershed hydrologic/water quality (H/WQ) models are ubiquitous tools for watershed management. Despite advancements, there remain impediments for end-users. This study presents a practical framework for use of the soil and water...
Hospital acquired pressure injury in adult orthopedic spine surgery patients: risk factors and risk assessment tools
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Approximately 25 percent of all hospital acquired pressure injuries (HAPI) begin in the perioperative area. The study purposes were to identify risk factors in adult surgical patients undergoing orthopedic spine surgery ...
Adaptive array signal processing using the concentric ring array and the spherical array
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
This thesis introduces new methods for partial adaptive beamforming using concentric ring and spherical arrays for acoustic signals on a partially known interference environment. We propose novel methods to choose intra-ring ...
User experience and robustness in social virtual reality applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Cloud-based applications that rely on emerging technologies such as social virtual reality are increasingly being deployed at high-scale in e.g., remote-learning, public safety, and healthcare. These applications increasingly ...

Winter rations for dairy heifers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)
The special object of these experiments is to compare the efficiency and economy of rations which are conducive to rapid growth with rations of such character as to admit of but limited growth.
Predicting the structure and energetics of protein-ligand interaction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Molecular docking has been a crucial component and remains a highly active area in computer-aided drug design (CADD). In simple terms, molecular docking uses computer algorithms to identify the "best" match between two ...
