Abscisic acid: interactions with ethylene and reactive oxygen species in the regulation of root growth under water deficit
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Abscisic acid (ABA) is involved in several responses to plant water deficits, including an important role in root growth maintenance. Studies of the ABA-deficient maize mutant viviparous 14 (vp14) showed that ABA-deficiency ...
Effect of Cooling Rates on Mineralization in Portland Cement Clinker
(2015-08-12)
The rate at which cement clinker is cooled as it exits the kiln has long been
known to be an important factor in cement quality. Cooling rate is one of the
variables that has a significant impact on the minerals produced ...
A Pervasive Middleware for Activity Recognition with Smartphones
(2015)
Activity Recognition (AR) is an important research topic in pervasive computing. With the rapid increase in the use of pervasive devices, huge sensor data is generated from diverse devices on a daily basis. Analysis of the ...
Effects of a violence prevention program on the aggressive scripts and prosocial behavior of "high risk" students
(2015-07-28)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of a school-based violence prevention program, Project SAFE, which was designed to decrease beliefs supporting the use of aggression in response to conflict, as measured ...
An adaptive non-polling HCCA mechanism for streaming video QOS in IEEE 802.11E network
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Deployment of wireless networks has risen rapidly in the last decade thanks to their convenience and flexibility. Meanwhile, multimedia service has ...
Simulation of trickle bed electrochemical reactor for hydrogen peroxide synthesis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
A 2D multi-physics, multi-component model was developed to analyze the effects of electrolyte concentration, flow rates and applied voltage on the performance of a trickle bed electrochemical reactor for hydrogen peroxide ...
Securing cloud-hosted applications using active defense with rule-based adaptations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Security cloud-based applications is a dynamic problem since modern attacks are always evolving in their sophistication and disruption impact. Active defense is a state-of-the-art paradigm where proactive or reactive ...
ClaimChain: secure Blockchain platform for handling insurance claims processing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Insurance claims processing involves multi-domain entities and multi-source data, along with a number of human-agent interactions. Consequently, this processing is traditionally manually-intensive and time-consuming. ...
Public Discourse and India’s Green Revolution: Defining Approaches to Relief Efforts and Policymaking During the Bihar Famine
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2021)
The Bihar Famine of 1966-1967 was a dire crisis in postcolonial Indian history, resulting in
widespread crop failures, food shortages, and mass starvation across Northern India. However,
the Bihar Famine is generally ...
School-aged children's awareness of their own working memory contents
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Working memory researchers in psychology have long wondered about how the mind organizes the many different pieces of information that must be maintained at any one time in order that the individual may carry out daily ...
Parametric study of the shock driven multiphase flow
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
This thesis presents a study of the shock driven multiphase instability and explores the competing effects of particle and gas effects in mixing. Eight different simulations were carried out to study properties of the ...
Effects of beta radiation on nanostructured semiconductor devices for low energy radiation sensing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Beta radiation detection currently relies primarily on scintillation detectors. However, the construction of these detectors tends to be large which significantly limits their applicability for field-use. A nanostructured ...
The monstrous woman : gothic monstrosity and graphic novels
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
I fell in love with a monster once. Although I never knew his name, he still managed to change my life. He came to me through the words of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and I would be remiss if I did not pay some homage to ...
