Changes in global blocking character in recent decades
(MDPI AG, 2019)
A global blocking climatology published by this group for events that occurred during the late 20th century examined a comprehensive list of characteristics that included block intensity (BI). In addition to confirming the ...
Individuals responsible for video games: an exploration of cataloging practice, user need, and authorship theory
(2022)
Purpose: Author information is one of the primary metadata elements for information access. While assigning "author(s)" has been relatively straightforward in library systems for textual resources, challenges have emerged ...
Understanding the impact of lifestyle on the academic performance of middle- and high-school students
(2019)
This paper presents a path analysis investigating the direct and indirect influence of lifestyle on academic performance for middle-school and high-school students. The correlation between the following sets of variables ...
Partnering with the health professions to promote prevention of an alcohol-exposed pregnancy: Lessons learned from an Academic–organizational collaborative
(MDPI AG, 2019)
Background: Evidence-based strategies exist to train healthcare professionals to ask their patients and clients about alcohol use, and are successful. Implementation of these strategies utilizing a system-level approach ...
The Food Safety Net After Welfare Reform: Use of Private and Public Food Assistance in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area
(University of Missouri - Columbia Institute of Public Policy, 2003)
This study uses a unique database of clients of private food providers in the Kansas City metropolitan area to document the use of private food assistance from January 1998 to May 2001. We show that, while the use of private ...
Multiple stochastic pathways in forced peptide-lipid membrane detachment
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019)
We have used high resolution AFM based dynamic force spectroscopy to investigate peptide-lipid membrane interactions by measuring the detachment (last-rupture) force distribution, P(F), and the corresponding force dependent ...
Herbicide resistance : economic and environmental challenges
(University of Missouri, 2016)
of the International Consortium on Applied Bioeconomy Research. Herbicide-resistant (HR) weeds threaten the sustainability of herbicide-tolerant (HT) crops, pose environmental risks from alternative weed control methods, and are altering public and private research...
Characterization of the Bovine Type I IFN Locus: Rearrangements, Expansions, and Novel Subfamilies
(BMC Genomics, 2009)
and then evolved into a series of distinct families. We have provided the first comprehensive annotation of the Type I IFN locus in Bos taurus, thereby providing an insight into the functional evolution of the Type I IFN in ruminants. The diversity and global...
Selecting socio-scientific issues for teaching : a grounded theory study of how science teachers collaboratively design SSI-based curricula
(Springer Netherlands, 2019)
Currently there is little guidance given to teachers in selecting focal issues for socio-scientific issues (SSI)-based teaching and learning. As a majority of teachers regularly collaborate with other teachers, understanding ...
LIS student learning styles and web-based instruction methods
(2005)
This article looks at learning styles of library and information science (LIS) students. Felder and Solomon’s Index of Learning Styles was administered to 108 LIS students between 2001 and 2002. These results were analyzed ...
Ultrastructural Islet Study of Early Fibrosis in the Ren2 Rat Model of Hypertension Emerging Role of the Islet Pancreatic Pericyte-Stellate Cell
(Journal of the Pancreas, 2007)
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a multifactorial disease with polygenic and environmental stressors resulting in multiple metabolic toxicities and islet oxidative stress. We have integrated the role of the islet renin-angiotensin ...
Studentomics : resourceful students cope with tight budgets.
(University of Missouri. Alumni Association, 1982)
"Inflation socks students, like all of us, where it hurts the most: the pocketbook. Not willing to do without, Mizzou students draw on their own creativity and resourcefulness to find alternatives to the high cost of ...
Comparative study of normal and branched alkane monolayer films adsorbed on a solid surface. I. Structure
(American Institute of Physics, 2007)
The structure of a monolayer film of the branched alkane squalane (C30H62) adsorbed on graphite has been studied by neutron diffraction and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and compared with a similar study of the ...
Parametrized post-Newtonian theory of reference frames, multipolar expansions and equations of motion in the N-body problem
(arXiv, 2006)
We discuss a covariant generalization of the parametrized post-Newtonian (PPN) formalism in a class of scalar-tensor theories of gravity. It includes an exact construction of a set of global and local (Fermi-like) references ...
Prospects in the orbital and rotational dynamics of the Moon with the advent of sub-centimeter lunar laser ranging
(arXiv, 2008)
Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) measurements are crucial for advanced exploration of the laws of fundamental gravitational physics and geophysics. Current LLR technology allows us to measure distances to the Moon with a precision ...
