Genetic architecture and marker-assisted breeding for salt tolerance in soybean
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses that inhibits plant growth and causes seed yield loss in soybean. Although a major gene for salt tolerance on chromosome (Chr.) 3 was mapped, cloned and characterized, it does ...
Piezoelectric transformer plasma ion source characterization for neutron production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Neutron sources have applications in fields where the elemental composition of a material needs to be determined while retaining the integrity of the initial sample. While many different neutron sources are currently ...
Development of novel site-specific imaging probes for prostate cancer detection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Molecular imaging is believed to play a pivotal role in decreasing cancer mortality and improving prognosis in the new era. It relies on molecular ...
Mesh-free modeling of spatially inhomogeneous aerosols in arbitrary geometries
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Many issues affect the nuclear source term, one of which is the existence of aerosols. These aerosols are usually simulated with the assumption that they are spatially homogeneous. Making this assumption reduces complexity ...
On Earth, As It Is
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)
This manuscript of poems addresses the collisions of the body—what is often meant
when we say intersectionality. These poems take on the politics of race, religion, gender, and
history and employ the filters of persona, ...
Fractal Analysis of Seafloor Textures for Target Detection in Synthetic Aperture Sonar Imagery
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Fractal analysis of an image is a mathematical approach to generate surface related features from an image or image tile that can be applied to image segmentation and to object recognition. In undersea target countermeasures, ...
Implementation of a new teacher evaluation program : principal and teacher perceptions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
This study examined the implementation of the Network for Educator Effectiveness (NEE) teacher evaluation system within two Missouri schools, one comprehensive high school of 1,000 students and another with 350. Framed by ...
A study of Monteverdi's three genera from the preface to Book VIII of Madrigals in relation to operatic characters in Il Ritorno d'Ulisse in patria and L'incoronazione di Poppea
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
The construction of character on the early operatic stage by means of musical gestures is an indisputable achievement of Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643). Such an accomplishment was the result of a continuing development of ...
Fuzzy-based conversational recommender for data-intensive science gateway applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Neuro-scientists are increasingly relying on parallel and distributed computing resources for analysis and visualization of their neuron simulations. Although science gateways (SG) have democratized relevant high ...
Indoor human activites recognition using audio signals based on support vector machines and convolutional neural networks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Indoor human activities recognition can be of great importance in our daily life, especially for surveillance and security purposes, such as informing elderly people affected in hearing capabilities about environmental ...
Electrophysiological studies of identifying and modulating the preparatory strategic processes involved in episodic memory retrieval
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Successful retrieval of episodic memories has been shown to depend on the overlap between the processes engaged during encoding and those re-engaged during retrieval. The ability to strategically adapt cue processing to ...
