Postconditioning manipulation of context associative strength on conditioned responding in conditioned taste aversion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
These experiments examined the effect of manipulating context associative strength on conditioned responding to a conditioned stimulus using a conditioned taste aversion procedure. In Experiments 1and 3, subjects were given ...
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and exposure to nature in college students
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most prevalent behavioral disorders in the U.S. and has significant cognitive and behavioral symptoms (e.g., challenges in focus, memory, and sustained attention). ...
Food 'four' thought : examining sigma-1 receptor antagonist PD144418 on food reinforced behaviors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
, or work, for food pellets but has no impact on the consumption of freely available food pellets. Such effects on motivational effort to work for food occur regardless of sex. However, alterations in physiological factors, such as energy intake, appear...
PRIMEGENSv2 : a service based platform using object oriented model view controller design pattern
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
There are a number of tools and software packages dealing with the problem of efficient primer and probe design. In an era of fast paced research it is rather difficult for any researcher to change their favorite tool. So ...
Demystifying the private sector : the use of publicly accessible records to report on private equity firms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
The purpose of this research is to provide journalists with the tools necessary to report on private equity firms, a notoriously opaque sector of the economy. Private equity firms exert a large amount of influence on the ...
Decomposing individual and group differences of categorical variables with genetic factor model
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The method of decomposing individual and group differences on ordered categorical variables into genetic and environmental factors is introduced. Although the genetic factor model is used to identify the relative contributions ...
Bioinformatics methods for protein identification using peptide mass fingerprinting data

Using nested structures to select models for developmental trajectories of cognitive abilities in adulthood
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Change over time can be modeled through a variety of statistical techniques including, but not limited to, linear or quadratic slope-intercept (SI), repeated-measures MANOVA, and single-factor growth models. Choice of ...
Simplified model for reinforced concrete beams under catenary action
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The purpose of this research is to develop simplified models to predict the load displacement behavior for any reinforced concrete beam on the basis of material, geometric, and design parameters. The proposed simplified ...
Relation-based item slotting
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The cost of warehouse operations contributes approximately 20% of the total cost in a supply-chain system, and the cost of the picking process can be as high as 65% of the warehousing cost. Therefore, there is an incentive ...

A review of the use of escape extinction for the reduction of inappropriate mealtime behavior
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
Food selectivity and inappropriate mealtime behaviors (IMB) can disrupt a child’s ability to consume the necessary calories and nutrients necessary for growth and development. This literature review examined whether escape ...
Identification, characterization and use of novel thermogenetic tools in drosophilia melanogaster
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
the available tools offer precise temporal and spatial resolution, their caveats lie in the limited number of tools that can be used simultaneously to alter neuronal activity. The overlapping spectrum of activation of optogenetic tools prevents...
Variation and fractionation of lithium isotopes within single tourmaline crystals in the pegmatites of the Black Hills, SD
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Extremely large elongated crystals, attributed to low nucleation rates and rapid growth during fast cooling (Nabelek et al., 2010), are just one example of the intriguing and unusual disequilibrium features found in granitic pegmatites. Lithium...
