Knowledge and behavior change in children within the University of Missouri Extension Family Nutrition Program
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
It is clear that nutrition education doesn't guarantee knowledge and/or behavior change in every programming effort. Therefore, research of nutrition education programming is of utmost importance to discover if knowledge ...
Factors affecting paddlefish reproductive success in the lower Osage River
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Large rivers and their associated fish communities have undergone major alterations over the last century. Habitat fragmentation caused by both large and small dams, channelization to promote river transportation, and ...
Geometric image segmentation via transform invariant rank cuts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
This research propose a novel image segmentation algorithm, named as Transform Invariant Rank Cuts (TIRC). Based on salient 3D geometric information of natural scenes. The segmentation algorithm unities an emerging robust ...
Improving the usability and utilization of cancer registry data : the need to identify a core data set
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Cancer registries in the US and Canada have a long history of data standards and data collection that have developed from a minimal dataset to the standard dataset that is used now. Central Cancer Registries (CCRs) are ...
Novel methods for preparation of modified 1-dimensional nanomaterials of titanium dioxide for environmental engineering applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Photocatalytic processes of titanium dioxide have been discovered in the early 1980 and till now titanium dioxide nanomaterials are the most popular photocatalysts for scientific researches and industrial applications. In ...
An analysis of environmental influences on morphologies and tornadogenesis within quasi-linear convective systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) often take the form of quasi-linear convective systems (QLCSs) within the mid-latitudes of the United States. QLCSs have a quasi-linear convective precipitation structure either followed ...
The relationship of emic model derived resiliency attributes to ninth grade student total core subject courses passed in an urban high school as viewed through the RDYM
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
The variables positively supporting urban student matriculation through high school remain unclear as one moves from one context to another. Furthermore, attributes that positively influence urban ninth grade student ...

Incretin response to acute exercise of differing intensities in obese women
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The purpose of this study was to determine the incretin response to an acute continuous, moderate intensity (ModEx) and high-intensity interval (IntEx) ...
An investigation into gravity independent oscillating heat pipes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] A number of oscillating heat pipes (OHPs) with unbalanced structures were investigated in an effort to develop methods enabling OHPs to be gravity ...
Present-day and late Quaternary crustal deformation along the southern Dead Sea Fault System, Jordan
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Theoretical models of the earthquake cycle predict that crustal rheology may lead to differences between short-term crustal deformation rates (decadal time scales) and long-term fault slip rates (Holocene to late Pleistocene ...
