Advanced Design and Analysis of UWB U-slot Microstrip Patch Using Theory of Characteristic Modes
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
Ultra wide band is rapidly advancing as a high data rate wireless communication
technology. As is the case in conventional wireless communication systems, an antenna also
plays a very crucial role in UWB systems. ...
Analysis of the economic value associated with the adoption of beef reproductive technologies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Beef cattle herd improvement to meet growing demand for higher quality beef has been an aspiration within the cattle industry since inception. Throughout the heartland, progressive cow-calf producers invest and adopt research-proven practices...
Pathobiological analysis of developmental dysplasia of the hip and its progression to osteoarthritis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is recognized as one of the leading causes of early-onset hip osteoarthritis and a primary reason for undergoing total hip arthroplasty prior to 50 years of age. Even with an increase in awareness and focus...
Operational analysis of cross-country trips on rail in Vietnam
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
. The four major significant and original contributions of this thesis are: 1) a generalized cost comparison of the three largest transportation modes serving Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh in order to understand the role of rail, 2) a reliability analysis of 21 trains...
Multi-hazard resilience assessment of river-crossing bridges
(2021)
subjected to multi-hazard impacts and the beneficial effects of any retrofitting or hazard-countermeasure in a lifecycle context. The damaged bridge needs to be restored rapidly over its service life due to the significant economic losses and disruption...
Effects of fire and thinning on Kansas oak woodlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
-oak communities. As fire suppression became a regular practice throughout the 20th century, these historically open communities became threatened by encroaching fire-sensitive, and often shade-tolerant, species. This study evaluated the effects of prescribed fire...
Faculty burnout and its relationship to social and institutional support
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
The purpose of this sequential explanatory study was to determine if there was a relationship between faculty burnout, social support, institutional support, or salary, as well as establish if any college at a regional public university...
Mineralocorticoid receptor involvement in vascular dysfunction associated with vascular injury
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
+ (pan macrophage) and CD206+ (M2-like) macrophages in the collateral zone (area between femoral artery and internal iliac artery) of only female mice. In conclusion, these studies demonstrate a benefit of MR blockade in diabetes-associated coronary...
Pod travel in the pandemic era: social media analytics on travel sentiment and spatial distribution
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
that came out of the pandemic. Specifically, several theoretical concepts, including chaos theory, travel resilience, optimism bias, and xenophobia were adopted to understand the phenomenon, and through a topic modeling approach. In study 2, social media...
Role of microRNAs in the legume - rhizobium nitrogen fixing symbiosis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
of the inorganic nitrogen available to crop plants is provided through fertilizers synthesized based on the Haber-Bosch process. This process converts atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into ammonia (NH3) by a reaction with hydrogen (H2) using a metal catalyst (iron) under...
Design and analysis of origami-inspired structures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Edge. Tubes constructed from the combined pattern are computer modeled and a static analysis is performed using the MERLIN2 software package in GNU Octave. These tubes can then be woven into cellular structures, some examples of which are 3D modeled...
Detecting explosive hazards in 3D radar imaging through slice based feature extraction and sequential learning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This thesis provides the history and framework of detecting explosive hazards from three-dimensional radar by extracting features through a slice-based perspective and using a...
Characterization of black walnut (Juglans nigra) cultivars for agroforestry systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
population of 11 cultivars with replicates in New Franklin, MO was measured for understory light infiltration from April-June of 2021. Results showed over a two-fold difference in light infiltration between the most contrasting cultivars during the second...
Hydrological Modeling of Urban Watershed with Snowfall for the Indian Creek Basin
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
The present study explores the transport rate of urban pollutants by using snow
melting processes by road salts and electrical conductance in the Indian Creek and
Tomahawk Creek in Kansas. We adopted a cross-correlation ...
Degradation of the veterinary antibiotics in swine manure via anaerobic digestion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
of veterinary antibiotics (VA) in swine manure. Nine laboratory ADs were kept at 39 [plus-minus] 2 [degrees] C in incubators and were loaded every two days. The digesters had a working volume of 1.38 L (in a 1.89-L glass jar), with a hydraulic retention time...
Essays on money and banking: a search-theoretic approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
My dissertation studies the role of banking in the monetary transmission. In the first chapter, I develop a monetary-search model where the money multiplier is endogenously determined. I show that when the central bank pays interest on reserves...
Self-aligned microchip device for automated measurement of quantal exocytosis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Here we describe a method to fabricate a multi-channel high-throughput microchip device for measurement of quantal transmitter release from individual cells. Instead of bringing carbon-fiber electrodes to cells, the device uses a self...
