(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Family involvement in U.S. public schools continues to value functional strategies (e.g., homework help, financial contribution, time spent in the classroom) as supports for the school, denying differentiated involvement ...
Methods of partitioning, biogenesis, and selecting for natural and engineered CoA-RNA
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
More than a decade ago, RNAs with NAD+, CoA, and acylated CoA caps were identified. Since then, studies have described NAD+'s protective, cap-like function in bacteria and its role in promoting mRNA degradation in eukaryotic ...
Helium segregation and migration behavior near symmetric tilt grain boundaries in tungsten
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Tungsten, one of the most important divertor materials in nuclear fusion devices, will be subject to high-flux helium plasma, which can lead to unexpected structural defects and irregular microstructure such as fuzz and ...
Gut feelings and goal pursuit : a path to self-concordance
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Two studies examined the role of gut feelings within the self-concordance model of goal pursuit (Sheldon & Elliot, 1999). Using a correlational design, Study 1 found that pursuing goals based on a gut feeling is positively ...
Testing narrative integration and persuasion focus in prosocial health communication: an extended model of organ donation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
This study explored how narratives can be used to address misperceptions and promote prosocial health behavior. In a 2 (narrative integration: high vs. low) x 2 (persuasion focus: egoistic vs. altruistic) plus one control ...
Implementation of high-density SNP data for genetic evaluation and QTL discovery in beef cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] A genomic relationship matrix was built using 1,707 Angus AI sires with complete pedigree information and 698 Angus steers with only paternity ...
Between God and Mammon : politics, class conflict, and the southern Irish state, 1922-45
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
[EMBARGOED UNTIL 8/1/2024] Although it is well understood that working-class politics and the political Left have been marginal forces in Irish political life, the question "Why?" has been underexamined, often attributed ...
A robust optimization approach to manage uncertainty in local agricultural production in mid-western United States
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Rapid industrialization of agricultural production in developed economies, advancements in information and logistics technologies, emergence of modern food retailers, customer concerns and increased food safety regulations ...
The distribution of farm labor
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)
It is important that a farmer know the labor requirements in the productions of the various crops and in the production of the various classes of livestock, and that he know what influence a combination of crops and stock ...
Enhancing efficacy, performance, and applicability of additive food manufacturing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
The advent of three-dimensional (3D) printers has led to many industrial innovations by providing alternatives to conventional manufacturing in various disciplines, including food science and engineering. As an emerging ...
Determining electrofishing response thresholds of smallmouth bass (micropterus dolomieu), flathead catfish (pylodictus olivaris), and blue catfish (ictalurus furcatus)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
We examined the response to electrofishing of three Missouri sportfish: Smallmouth Bass, Blue Catfish, and Flathead Catfish. We had three objectives for this research effort: 1) determine the effective conductivity of each ...
Education Utilization in Blood Pressure Management and Medication Adherence in Hypertensive Adults
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2018)
Hypertension is a modifiable risk factor for serious chronic diseases including heart disease and
stroke. Even with known benefits of hypertension management, only half of adults diagnosed
have their blood pressure ...
Plasma-Enhanced Atomic Layer Deposition of Boron Carbide for Interconnect Applications
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)
As the semiconductor industry endeavors to scale integrated circuit dimensions—
decreasing layer thicknesses while increasing the aspect ratio of fillable features—the
need for novel interconnect materials with highly ...
Modification of polyamide thin film composite reverse osmosis membrane for water desalination
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] A novel thin film ZnO-Graphene quantum dots composite reverse osmosis (TFQ-RO) membrane was prepared by the interfacial polymerization of m-phenylenediamine ...
Investigation into the pool-boiling characteristics of gold nanofluids
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The use of nanofluids as a heat transfer fluid has drawn considerable attention recently. Within the last five years, work investigating the pool-boiling of these fluids has increased dramatically. However, they have ...
Using stochastic models calibrated from nanosecond nonequilibrium simulations to approximate mesoscale information
(American Institute of Physics, 2009)
We demonstrate how the surrogate process approximation (SPA) method can be used to compute both the potential of mean force along a reaction coordinate and the associated diffusion coefficient using a relatively small ...
Cultural cognition : the epistemic function of worldviews
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Cultural worldviews -- shared, symbolic systems of meaning that render life interpretable -- provide a great deal of knowledge about the world. Thus, the validity of one's worldview may affect the need to think. The present ...
Culinology applications to a convenient and economic frozen dinner set
