Frequency and Field Strength Materials Characterization with Complementary Split-ring Resonators, Coplanar Waveguides, and the Virtual Ground Method
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)
In the radiofrequency bands, measuring the power-dependent complex permittivity
and permeability of materials that undergo metal–insulator transitions is a significant
challenge which is important for defense and ...

A method of sociological investigation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)
"It is the purpose of the author of this thesis to present, from his limited experience as a social surveyor and from a rather extended study of social surveys, the meaning and value of the survey method to the science of ...
Effects of instructor-led feedback conferences on the level of reflective thought among senior-level students enrolled in a teaching methods course in agricultural education
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The purpose of this experimental study was to describe the reflective thinking level of students both overall and by characteristics as well as to compare the effect of reflective feedback conference on students' reflective ...
Load transfer in micropiles for slope stabilization from tests of large-scale physical models
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The objective of this work is to provide experimental data to improve prediction of limit loads for micropiles in slope stabilization applications. The experimental data were obtained from tests of 1-g model slopes 8 ft ...
Herbicide resistant weeds in Missouri : sources and solutions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
that represented twice the recommended field use rate of glyphosate, glufosinate, 2,4-D, dicamba, and cloransulam was applied to each population in order to determine the frequency and distribution of herbicide resistances in Missouri horseweed. A population...
Fluctuating asymmetry as a measure of developmental instability in Arikara bioarchaeological assemblages
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) has been advanced as a tool for investigating the developmental instability of human populations and has more recently found its way into bioarchaeological investigations. The research presented ...
The Homeric house in the light of recent excavations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1904)
The purpose of this paper is to give a detailed description of the Homeric house, according to the information to be had from the Homeric poems, and to compare it with other palaces of early antiquity, such as those of ...
Alternative learning strategies for spatio-temporal processes of complex animal behavior
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
The estimation of spatio-temporal dynamics of animal behavior processes is complicated by nonlinear interactions. Alternative learning methods such as machine learning, deep learning, and reinforcement learning have proven ...
Cell identification, verification, and classification using shape analysis techniques
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The use of object-oriented approaches in both the verification of meteorological variables (especially precipitation) and the short-term forecasting ...
Who consumes illegal wildlife? : an analysis of bear bile usage in Vietnam
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
and sold to farms to support the growing bear bile industry in Vietnam. There are currently about 4,000 captive bears in Vietnam, most of which originate from the wild; these bears are often kept in small iron cages and milked for bile on a regular basis...
Characterization of the sporozoite and eythrocytic stages (SES) protein
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The Plasmodium sporozoite is infective for mosquito salivary glands and vertebrate host tissues. Although it is a key developmental stage of the malaria parasite, relatively few sporozoite surface or secreted proteins have ...
A plan for the reorganization of rural school administration in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
Text from the Introduction: An increasing nrunber of students of social conditions are coming to regard the country school as one of the most pressing problems of our national life. In building, equipment, curriculum, ...
B2 or not B2 : loss of ephrin-B2 in endothelial cells during development, homeostasis, and regeneration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
The microvasculature is a robust and highly adaptive system, responsive to minute physiological and molecular cues. Endothelial cells (ECs) assemble the microvasculature during development through vasculogenesis and ...
VELAS: a fully-distributed daily hydrologic feedback model with emphasis on vegetation, land cover, and soil water dynamics
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-06-15)
We present a daily hydrologic feedback model, VELAS (the VEgetation-
LAnd cover-Soil water dynamics), to simulate daily responses of hydrologic
processes including interception, runoff, evapotranspiration, infiltration, ...
Digestible lysine and threonine requirements of male turkeys and their effects on performance of male turkeys fed practical diets to market age
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Seven experiments were conducted to determine the minimum requirements of digestible lysine (dLys) and digestible threonine (dThr) from 1 to 21 weeks of age for male turkeys. Requirement values were similar to NRC (1994) ...
