This research attempts to reconstruct the extent of prehistoric human interaction within the lower Chattahoochee-Apalachicola River valley and neighboring Gulf Coast for the period spanning 200 B.C. to A.D. 1000. Using ...
Organo nickel and platinum chemistry at the edge of corannulene
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Corannulene (C[subscript 20]H[subscript 10]), a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) is a bowl shaped fullerene fragment. This work involves investigations into the chemistry...
Are dividends and share repurchases substitutes? : evidence from the reaction of financial analysts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
In this study, I propose a novel test that can contribute towards resolving whether repurchases do in fact substitute for dividends. I contend that using the reactions of financial analysts to announcements of dividends ...
Direct contact heat exchanger development
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The purpose of this work was to develop tools that guide the design of a direct contact heat exchanger for small-scale commercial and/or residential HVAC applications...
Lifestyle treatment in the regression of NASH: insulin resistance, lipid synthesis, and methodological innovation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
This dissertation is focused on factors that increase risk for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NALFD) and the more advanced form nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). These factors include postprandial lipid handling ...
Measuring and comparing the spatiotemporal evolution of accident hot spots
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
One reality of transportation systems is that vehicular accidents can happen practically anywhere and at any time. An increasing body of research suggests though that spatial and/or temporal dependencies (i.e., clusters ...
Identification and Development of a Reliable Framework to Predict Passive Scalar Transport for Turbulent Bounded Shear Flows
(2020)
Heat transfer modeling plays an integral role in optimization and development of highly efficient modern thermal-fluid systems. However, currently available heat flux models suffer from fundamental shortcomings. For example, ...
Degradation of the veterinary antibiotics in swine manure via anaerobic digestion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Antimicrobial resistance is becoming an imminent danger for human health, in part because of excessive consumption of antibiotics in the animal industry. Laboratory-scale anaerobic digesters (ADs) were utilized to investigate ...
Investigation of smart work zone technologies using mixed simulator and field studies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
are drivers behave more uniformly after being educated about the meaning of signage displayed on the back of truck, and performance measured with signage would be more preferable than those without signage. Applications of statistics are extension of studies...
Advances in the fundamental cryobiology of mammalian oocytes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Having effective means to cryopreserve mammalian oocytes could increase the efficiency of managing populations of laboratory animals, increase the effectiveness of breeding programs for livestock, and improve the means by ...
What economic sanctions signal : cheap talk, or putting your money where your mouth is?
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
This study addresses the role of economic sanctions in foreign policy through two research questions. The first assesses the relationship between economic and military coercion, the studies of which have remained largely ...
