Science frictions : science, folklore, and "the future"
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Folklore and science, along with the subject of the future which has slowly over time worked its way into the discourses of both, have a long, complicated ...
Teaching the Nature of Science Through Inquiry: The Results of a Three-year Professional Development Program
(2010-10)
This study assessed the components of a three year professional development program on
participants' views nature of science (NOS), instructional practice to promote students'
appropriate NOS views, and the influence of ...

The use of an application screening assessment as a predictor of teaching retention at a midwestern, K-12, public school district
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
This quantitative study examined the retention of new hires at a Midwestern, K-12, public school district using the scores of an application screening assessment as a predictor. New teacher hires' overall performance results on a screening...
The effect of brand name congruity and product category on consumers' attitudes toward brand names
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The purpose of this research paper is to examine the attitudes that are associated with brand name congruity and product categories. More specifically, ...
Multiuser TDMA channel estimation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Wireless communication systems require efficient utilization of the limited available spectrum. There are various methods in which division of spectrum ...
On the simulations of correlated nakagami-m fading channels using sum-of-sinusoids method
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
This research work discusses the generation of Nakagami-m fading samples from sum-of-sinusoids method in which Nakagami process is generated by taking square root of Gamma process. Gamma process itself can be realized using ...
Optimization of charge collection efficiency in MSM photodetector
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
The effects of different geometries, heights and concentrations per unit area of gratings in the active region of a metal semiconductor metal photo-detector have been analyzed for enhanced charge collection through ...
Experimental and numerical investigation of subcritical bifurcations in milling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The focus of the current thesis is an experimental and numerical investigation of subcritical bifurcations in milling. More specifically, several researchers have reported results indicating that the secondary Hopf ...
Decreases in working memory capacity for sentence stimuli with adult aging
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Previous studies have found that older adults have poorer immediate recall for language. Older adults may recall fewer chunks from working memory, or may have difficulty binding words or sentences together to form multi-unit ...
Kinematic analysis of cam profiles used in compound bows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
The first compound bow was invented in Missouri in 1969. [Allen, 1968] Compound bows are uniquely different from other types of bows in that they use a set of cables, cams and pulley, and two elastic limbs that act as ...
An ATP/EMTP model for the study of both normal and abnormal substation equipment operation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In electric utility, overcurrent and overvoltage transients in switching operations often cause severe damage on the power system equipments. In this ...
Modeling forest transition pathways for decision making in private forestry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)
In the Central Hardwoods Region, 90% of forested lands are privately owned and the majority of harvested hardwoods come from non-industrial private forests. However, many landowners seek little professional advice when ...
Physical mechanisms of cell rearrangements: from tissue liquidity to artificial organ structures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
This research presents a study of biological self-assembly in which we create 3D living functional tissue structures by exploiting the self organizing capacity of cells and tissues. Tissues composed of adhesive and motile ...
The contribution of titin to striated muscle shortening
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Striated muscle shortens under various loads (i.e., performs work), which allows movement of the skeleton and pumping of blood throughout the circulatory system. The amount of work that a muscle can do is determined by the ...
Modeling the behavior of a homopolar motor
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
The design, construction, and operating characteristics of a homopolar motor are described in this thesis using both physical experimentation and simulation software. This type of motor converts electrical energy into ...
Ensemble methods in large vocabulary continuous speech recognition
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Combining a group of classifiers and therefore improving the overall classification performance is a young and promising direction in Large Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition (LVCSR). Previous works on acoustic ...
Content extraction, analysis, and retrieval for plant visual traits studies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
In recent years, automatic content extraction, analysis and retrieval for plant visual trait studies play a more important role than ever before, because traditional manual processing suffers two major issues: excessive ...
