In the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle defines the highest good for humankind in terms of happiness. The nature of happiness includes intellectual activity, virtuous activity, and friendship; and certain external goods are ...
Refinement of an established large-animal model to understand the tick-pathogen-host interface
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Ticks are globally distributed vectors of important pathogens of human and animal health. Since the discovery of tick resistance in 1918, the field has sought continuously for the development of effective biologic control ...
A study of the changing television newsrooms with the diffusion of internet technologies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The Internet has revolutionized the way local television newsrooms operate. From news promotion to newscasts, almost every element of daily work within ...
The measurement of decoupled payments' effects on U.S. agricultural production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
In the current WTO negotiations, the developing and the developed countries take an opposite view regarding the criteria for green box subsidies supposed to be decoupled from current production levels and prices. This study ...
Crossed-beam chemical reaction dynamics probed with universal and state resolved ion imaging
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
The main goal of chemical reaction dynamics is to unravel the intimate motions of individual atoms during a chemical transformation. This information must generally be inferred from indirect macroscopic measurement. Very ...
Eighteenth-century sensibility and the subversive female body
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
Eighteenth-Century Sensibility and the Subversive Female Body argues that bodily actions of sensibility (i.e. feminized actions, such as trembling and fainting) were employed to subversive effect by women writers of the ...
Elucidation of quantum magnetic dynamics in semi-classical honeycomb lattice
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
magnetic honeycomb lattice using a combination of neutron scattering techniques, electric mea- surements as well as theoretical calculations. Specifically, we have focused on the exploration of the dynamic properties of magnetic charge defects in the as...
Measuring and comparing the spatiotemporal evolution of accident hot spots
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
One reality of transportation systems is that vehicular accidents can happen practically anywhere and at any time. An increasing body of research suggests though that spatial and/or temporal dependencies (i.e., clusters ...
Molecular assembly of polycyanoarenes with silver salts and synthesis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbonds
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012)
This dissertation encompasses the investigation of two distinct subjects. In the first
part, which is in the area of molecular self-assembly, the complexation of organonitrile aryl
compounds with three different types ...
The role of resistance exercise training & IGF-1 signaling in the amelioration of mild cognitive impairment in female Wistar rats
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Mild cognitive impairment increases risk for dementia. One therapeutic intervention that is reported to ameliorate cognition in patients with mild cognitive impairment is resistance exercise. However, the underlying ...
Picture This

Picture This is a collection of short stories featuring a series of strong female protagonists wrestling with questions of identity and belonging. This collection seeks to explore the tension between faith and doubt, ...
Development of an advanced Hybrid (U)RANS/LES turbulence models using Scale Adaptive Simulation (SAS) method
(2022)
Turbulence is a ubiquitous phenomenon occurring in most practical fluid flows. The accurate prediction of turbulent flows is evident in optimizing and developing highly efficient modern fluid systems. Several turbulence ...
Performance analysis of parallel flow intersection and displaced left turn intersection designs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The displaced left turn (DLT) (also known as the continuous flow intersection (CFI)) design has proven to be a superior alternative to the conventional ...
