What's the quality of breast cancer information you read online?: a comparative analysis of breast cancer information quality in commercial vs. nonprofit websites
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Eighty five million Americans access the Internet for health information. But lacks of content regulation, free access, and increased marketing potential have meant that content providers increasingly heed to the call of their own agendas (monetary...
Age differences in memory for names : the effect of pre-learned semantic associations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The present experiments investigated whether participants could use basic semantic information about a person (i.e., a "mediator"), such as an occupation, to help link that person's name to his or her face. In each of three experiments, older...
Developing, implementing, and assessing coupled-tank experiments in an undergraduate chemical engineering curriculum
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
, simulating and model validating, as well as real-time process control and Proportional-Integral (PI) controller tuning in a laboratory setting. These experimental modules are self-contained and each module can be used individually or in combination...
An anatomical analysis of the effects of ether anesthesia on the nerve cell
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)
experimental work has been devoted to the anatomical changes produced in the Purkinje cell, a most highly differentiated type of nerve cell. It is this type of nerve cell upon which most of the previous work in this laboratory has been done as it is the most...
Effects and interactions of endocrine disrupting chemicals and diet on the mouse reproductive system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Recent studies have indicated that a number of ubiquitous chemicals found in the environment are linked to a myriad of health concerns, including reproductive abnormalities and increases in infertility, cancer, and obesity ...
Phosphorus digestibility of corn and soybean meal (SBM) in broilers : in search of a consistent and reliable model to quantify individual ingredient contribution
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Two experiments were conducted to determine true digestibility of Phosphorus (P) in feed ingredients commonly in commercial broiler diets. A second objective was to determine if the true digestible P values of corn and soybean meal (SBM) would...
Encounters and careers of postdoctoral students
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1973)
and experience in research before accepting the more permanent faculty appointment. Generically, these persons are referred to as "postdoctoral students." The postdoctoral is not particularly easy to describe. In the past, postdoctoral students were concentrated...
CDPPB reverses an NMDA receptor antagonist-induced deficit in inhibitory avoidance and conditioned taste aversion learning in rats
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Rats administered a metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) positive allosteric modulator (PAM), CDPPB, and/or an NMDA receptor antagonist, MK-801, were given inhibitory avoidance or conditioned taste aversion training. ...
Testing a model of resource assessment as a basis for developing strategic communication plans
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
-Columbia (CAFNR) internal and external members is central to this analysis. Accordingly, I will discuss and elaborate on the possibilities and benefits of developing a Model of Resource Assessment that provides substantial information on which to base public...
Nuclear power plant systems and security : a graduate engineering course
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
With nuclear power poised to begin a significant expansion within the United States, it has become increasingly important to provide engineering students with the knowledge needed to become productive members of the nuclear ...
A qualitative bounded case study on teacher and administrator perceptions of students' adverse childhood experiences in rural, northwest Missouri elementary school
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
The purpose of this bounded case study (Merriam and Tisdell, 2016) was to add to the existing research literature on early childhood trauma in addition to understanding teacher and administrator perceptions on students' adverse childhood experiences...
Low sensitivity to, and craving for, alcohol in naturalistic and laboratory settings
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
highly sought after in their own right. Psychophysiological laboratory work has produced promising results that suggest that this process is stronger for low sensitivity drinkers relative to their higher sensitivity peers. The present work attempts...
Development of a capillary based helicobacter hepaticus biosensor
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Helicobacter hepaticus causes hepatitis in mice. Infections with H. hepaticus can invalidate animal research studies and early detection helps curtail the spread of infection. The objective of this study was to develop a ...
Tracing paradigm shifts in information literacy: a progressive knowledge domain visualization approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
An information literate population is a fundamental component of modern society, but the definition of what it means to be information literate has changed over time, resulting in debates within the information literacy community. Through the lens...
Alcohol consumption, executive function and risky decision making
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
, or an alcohol beverage (1.0 g/kg ethanol). They then engaged in a laboratory cognitive control (flanker) task while their EEG (electroencephalogram) was recorded. This research suggests that effects of alcohol on the relationship between neural measures...
Eye-tracking investigations of lexical ambiguity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
The visual world paradigm was used to investigate the time course of ambiguity resolution. Typically, the visual stimuli consisted of one picture that was semantically related to the dominant meaning of an ambiguous word, ...
Elementary agriculture for city high schools
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)
The experience of teaching Agriculture in the high school for a number of years has impressed upon the writer the need of a more careful selection of material than is indicated by most of the text book in Elementary Agriculture. From this broad...
Testing for a synergistic effect between online publicity and advertising in an integrated marketing communications context
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
This dissertation examined the relationship among four exposure conditions in marketing communications (pure advertising, advertising priming, publicity priming, and pure publicity) that include either advertising or publicity or both. Also...
Viability, vigor, and field performance of a low phytic acid, high phytase activity soybean line, CAPPA

Paying attention to binding: is the associative deficit of older adults mediated by reduced attentional resources?
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
). The present experiments investigated whether such a binding deficit is mediated by a reduction of attentional resources by using a dual task procedure where participants were asked to study lists of words while completing an auditory reaction time task...
