Anomalous Silicate Dust Emission in the Type 1 Liner Nucleus of M81
(American Astronomical Society, 2010)
We report the detection and successful modeling of the unusual 9.7μm Si-O stretching silicate emission feature in the type 1 (i.e., face-on) LINER nucleus of M81. Using the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) instrument on Spitzer, we determine the feature...
Active deformation of the South Granite Mountain Fault System : reactivated compressional faults vs. extensional overprinting
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
the Sweetwater Graben. Recent Quaternary deformation is expressed as fault scarps along the north side of the Granite Mountains (2-4 meters). These features were originally studied in the 1980s but have received little attention since. In particular, the nature...
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 ...
Measurement of fission product diffusion in VHTR materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
. The cells were hermetically sealed and heated to temperatures comparable to those found in VHTRs. These cells were imaged using microtomography and electron microscopy. Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) was used to determine actual diffusion profiles...

Load transfer in reticulated and non-reticulated micropiles from large-scale tests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Using micropiles for slope stabilization is a proven technique but there are many uncertainties with how load is transferred from the soil to the structural elements. A large-scale model was constructed to test model slopes ...
Mizzou weekly, volume 02, number 13 (December 5, 1980)

Competing or Collaborating Siblings? Industrial and Trade Policies in India
(Department of Economics, 2006)
) and its gradual relaxation during the 1980s and 1990s to test whether industrial de-regulation that leads to more competition domestically, affects firm-level productivity. To our knowledge, ours is the only detailed data set on Indian industrial policy...
Igneous intrusions and thermal evolution in the Raton Basin, CO-NM: contact metamorphism and coal-bed methane generation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Tertiary mafic dikes and sills intrude coal-bearing formations of the Raton Basin. This study investigates the role of intrusions in generating methane from coal. Coal samples at four different outcrops were analyzed by ...
Essays in applied microeconomics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
such as the "Veil of Darkness" or hit-rate tests to analyze the presence of racial profiling. However, in the case of Missouri incident-level data is unavailable rendering these tests infeasible. Despite these data limitations, I can implement the Oaxaca...
Parent-child relationship factors associated with emotional adjustment and academic engagement in the transition to college
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
-semester freshmen. Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) was used to identify typologies, and to look for differences in emotional adjustment and academic commitment based on profile membership. Four profiles of parent-child relationship behaviors emerged, and were...

Individual, relational, and cultural correlates of U.S. Latino/a college students' prosocial behaviors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
both interrelate and simultaneously affect prosocial behaviors. The study used questionnaire measures completed by 250 U.S. Latino/a college students (M age = 21.0 years; 62.0% women). Latent profile analysis and path analysis were used to examine...
Characteristics of mean flow and turbulence in bubble plumes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
, demonstrated in the profiles of normalized turbulent velocity correlations using mean flow parameterizations. Velocity fluctuations show a strong vertical-to-horizontal anisotropy in bubble plumes compared to those in single-phase jets and plumes. Strong...
Delineation of critical management areas at plot, field, and watershed scales for claypan soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Water and soil are two key elements for life on this planet, and improving and preserving their quality are of prime importance. Various human actions including use of intensive chemicals in agriculture have accelerated ...
Characterization of thermally activated solid electrolyte lithium anode primary reserve batteries
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The purpose of this research was to perform an initial characterization of the capabilities of thermal batteries. Thermal batteries have a very high theoretical specific energy. If they also have a suitably high specific ...
Armillaria species in the Missouri Ozarks forests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
In the Missouri Ozark Mountains, species of the white-rot wood decay fungus Armillaria contribute to oak decline. To investigate the relationships of Armillaria species with their hosts, the DNA fingerprinting technique ...
Wellness Promotion in Community-Dwelling Older Adults
