Nitrogen management strategies to improve corn growth and reduce soil greenhouse gas emissions from claypan soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
depth of 8 cm (IA). The addition of a NI with deep-banded urea resulted in 27% greater apparent N recovery efficiency than all other N treatments. Additionally, DB+NI had 54 and 55% lower cumulative soil N2O emissions than IA and SA treatments in the two...
Contextual effects of geographic, economic, political regions on issue salience and salience of an issue's attributes : hierarchical linear modeling of agenda setting
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This study investigated issue salience and salience of Economy's attributes on the public agenda by taking a multilevel approach to the data. The data consisted of a two...
Designing a robust supply chain network against disruptions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
and (1) a two-stage stochastic programming model; (2) a multi-objective stochastic programming model; and (3) a dynamic programming model are developed to explore the tradeoffs between cost and risk. Three methods are developed to identify optimal...
A multi-dimensional investigation into the effects of flooding on the physical, chemical and biotic properties of riparian soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Understanding soil abiotic and biotic influences on ecosystem processes will enhance success of riparian restoration efforts. The goal of this research was to characterize changes in soil chemical and microbial community ...
Hydraulic Design of Interlocking Concrete Permeable Pavement
(2015)
Stormwater management and design was developed to reduce the impacts of
runoff due to the increase in urbanization and impervious area in the hydrologic system.
Stormwater management takes many different forms, including ...
Topical Clear Aqueous Nanomicellar Formulation for Anterior and Posterior Ocular Drug Delivery
(University of Missouri–Kansas City, 2015)
The objective of this study was to develop a clear, aqueous drug loaded nanomicellar formulation (NMF) for the back-of-the-eye delivery. Hydrophobic drugs such as cyclosporine, resolvin analog (RX-10045), dexamethasone, rapamycin were entrapped...
Academic motivation, mathematics achievement, and the school context : building achievement models using TIMSS 2003
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
-1 being students and level-2 being classrooms in each country. The final achievement models suggested that student self-confidence in learning mathematics, which overlaps with self-efficacy, expectancy, and self-concept, was the most important...
Site preparation for longleaf pine restoration on hydric sites : stand development and ground flora responses 15 years after planting
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
control treatments (chopping or herbicide) with three soil manipulation treatments (flat [no treatment], mounding, or bedding), and an herbicide-chopping-bedding treatment. Our objectives were to determine the long-term impacts of site preparation...
Ontology-based methods for disease similarity estimation and drug repositioning
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-10-02)
similar/common molecular mechanisms. Understanding similarity between diseases aids in early disease diagnosis and development of new drugs. The growing collection of gene-function and gene-disease data has instituted a need for formal knowledge...
Biomass Burning and Its Relationship with Water Cycle Dynamics of the Chari-Logone Catchment of Lake Chad Basin
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)
scales. For a more comprehensive look at the effects of burning, i.e. albedo change, which has been shown to have a significant impact on a number of environmental factors, was considered when calculating potential evapotranspiration as a model input. Two...
Comparisons of Support Among K-12 Music Teachers in Missouri and Kansas
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2020)
The purpose of this study is to examine correlations between various personal and situational factors and music teachers’ perceptions of support received from administration, colleagues, and students’ parents. We developed a short, 5-minute...
A quarterly econometric model of the United States beef sector
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1982)
The United States beef sector has been modeled in many studies, perhaps, because beef represents a large proportion of the consumer food dollar and agriculture’s income. The predictive performance of these models has been, however, quite...
Single cell-type metabolomics of Medicago truncatula border cells and their roles in host-microbe interactions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Border cells are a specialized cell type surrounding the root apical meristematic region of many plant species, with the exception of the Brassicaceae family that possess characteristically different border-like cells. Border cells are held in place...
Crisis of democracy : protest and affective polarization
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
the quality of democracy? A large-scale protest is generally associated with periods of massive political change. These mobilizations may spur democratization or enfranchise minority groups. While protests are crucial for providing a voice to the vulnerable...
Comparative machine learning approach for biomarker identification using multiomics data from patients with endometriosis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
using a multi-omics approach and various machine learning classifiers. This objective was fulfilled by three related but independent aims: (1) mining rna-seq data to discover molecular mechanisms of endometriosis, (2) to discover diagnostics features...
Creating a zero-waste soy processing system and developing vitamin B12 fortified non-GMO high oleic soy-based products using encapsulation technology
