Teacher collaboration and instructional program coherence across the transition to high school
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
with different measures of student achievement. The study took place in the state of Missouri, and 312 principals of high schools with separate feeder middle schools were invited to participate. Electronic and paper surveys as well as public data were collected...
Conservation tillage, herbicide use, and genetically engineered crops in the United States : the case of soybeans
(AgBioForum, 2013)
This study examines the extent to which adopting herbicide-tolerant (HT) soybeans affects conservation tillage practices and herbicide use. The model is estimated using a state-level panel dataset extending across 12 major ...
Celsr1 suppresses WNT5A-mediated chemoattraction to prevent incorrect rostral migration of facial branchiomotor neurons
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
As the nervous system develops, neurons often migrate from where they originate to their functional locations prior to them contributing to the circuits that drive cognitive and motor function. Within the vertebrate ...
Prior learning assessment for credit at the University of Central Missouri : a program evaluation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
provides this opportunity. The focus of this research was to determine the effectiveness of the University of Central Missouri's PLA program. To accomplish this task, Patton's (2008) utilization focused evaluation method was selected. The intended purpose...

Reliability-based analysis of settlements of shallow foundations on cohesionless soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Although settlements of foundations on cohesionless soils usually are small, it is important to be able to predict them because the primary issue in the design...
Evaluation of Penetrating Sealers on Service Life of Concrete Infrastructure
(2022)
In cold regions, thermal cycles and corrosion of reinforcements are the main factors that cause deterioration in concrete structures. Per each storm event, salt is used to melt snow and ice. Ultimately, water contains ...
Phylogenomics of orchids and their mycorrhizal fungi : trees, diversity, and the pursuit of symbiosis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Phylogenetic trees show us how organisms are related and provide frameworks for studying and testing evolutionary hypotheses. To better understand the evolution of orchids...
Pediatric Lead Poisoning and The Built Environment in Kansas City, Missouri 2000-2013
(2021)
This study examines relationships between pediatric lead poisoning and the built environment. Focusing on Kansas City, Missouri between the years 2000 and 2013 this dissertation informs policy options and identifies under-explored lines of inquiry...
Health-related quality of life in midlife and older women with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and hypermobility spectrum disorders
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
An understudied area of gerontology is the impact of inherited genetic disorders as individuals age and how such conditions affect health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in older adults. Such is the case with hypermobile ...
Proceedings of the Justin R. Morris Vineyard Mechanization Symposium (2008)
(University of Missouri Extension, 2008)
Grape growers are increasingly interested in reducing the cost and amount of labor necessary for grape production. Availability of labor is also a major concern for growers in many grape production regions. Mechanized ...
Methodological approaches for sound training in underepresented learners: a case study with american toads (Anaxyrus americanus)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
efforts to better understand the minds of animals have been flourishing, with methodological breakthroughs and a remarkable increase in the number of publications dealing with a wide variety of non-model species. The growing interest in species...
Accrual persistence and accrual anomaly
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The first essay, "Inter-temporal accrual persistence and accrual anomaly" investigates whether accrual persistence and accrual anomaly vary with the state of economy. Prior accounting research argues that diminishing ...
Harmonic wavelet analysis of surface waves at complex geotechnical sites
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
The use of stress wave-based geophysical methods in geotechnical engineering has continued to grow and is now a routine component of many geotechnical site investigation programs. Surface wave methods, in particular, are ...
Hierarchical spatio-temporal models for environmental processes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The processes governing environmental systems are often complex, involving different interacting scales of variability in space and time. The complexities and often high dimensionality of such spatio-temporal processes can ...
Specific bio-modeling and analysis techniques at cellular and systems level
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Modeling approaches are developed for two different levels, cellular (Part I) and systems (Part II), and used to develop insights into system performance. PART I consists of three chapters focusing on computational ...
Development of Pentablock Copolymer Based Formulations for the Sustained Delivery of Protein Therapeutics in the Treatment of Posterior Segment Ocular Diseases
(2013)
