Investigation of rare alleles in maize using the zea synthetic doubled haploid population
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The biology of rare alleles is important to our understanding of genotype-to-phenotype relationships. Understanding the role of rare alleles can aid in the selection...
Reinventing a moral mode : a textual analysis of 21st century "living Lei Fengs" in China Daily
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This study explores how China Daily has extended the collective memory of iconic Chinese role model Lei Feng in articles about so-called "living Lei Fengs" published from 2003...
Tensile strength, shear strength, and effective stress for unsaturated sand
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
It is generally accepted in geotechnical engineering that non-cohesive materials such as sands exhibit no or negligible tensile strength. However, there is significant evidence that interparticle forces arising from capillary ...
Applied genomics toward targeted improvement of soybean
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
The abundance of genomic data produced by the research community in the last decade has offered an unprecedented view into the variation present in the soybean genome and has been exploited to uncover the genetic architecture ...
Computational studies of gases adsorbed on graphene-like materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Functional Theory. We observe a monotonic increase of the interlayer spacing consistent with experiments only for a model of benzene-1,4-diboronic acid (DBA) molecules bonded covalently to graphene on both sides of the pore at random orientations...
An ecological systems approach to reduce children's encounters with obscenity on the internet
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
This dissertation explores how to reduce children's encounters with obscenity on the Internet. Congress has been trying to shield children from encountering online obscenity and some of Congress' attempts failed because ...
A Bayesian approach to data-driven discovery of nonlinear dynamic equations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Dynamic equations parameterized by differential equations are used to represent a variety of real-world processes. The equations used to describe these processes are generally derived based on physical principles and a ...
