A case study of rural north Missouri teacher perceptions of the Missouri model evaluation system and the network for educator effectiveness: impact on practice
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
In 1983 the National Commission for Excellence in Education investigated claimed that U.S. schools were failing to adequately educate children. The Commission identified many inconsistencies nationwide in areas of access, teacher standards, learning...
The Climatology of Blocking Anticyclones for the Northern and Southern Hemispheres: Block Intensity as a Diagnostic
(American Meteorological Society, 2002-12)
A 30-yr climatology of blocking events was compiled by stratifying the data into seasonal and three regional categories for both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres using the NCEP-NCAR reanalyses. Several characteristics ...
Non-emergency exits : voluntary retirements from legislatures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Retirement is the main source of legislative turnover in the United States Congress. The incumbency advantage in congressional elections is so strong as to allow most members...
Geochronologic and thermochronologic constraints on the Mesozoic to Cenozoic deformation history of southeastern California
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
of the Basin and Range province. This study aims to better understand how these tectonic regimes interact in the area around Death Valley. Apatite and zircon (U-Th)/He data from two transects in the Kingston and Mesquite ranges are first used to explore...
The race-based school assignment policy response to Parents Involved v. Seattle schools by 125 districts from the Civil Rights Commission's 1987 meta study on the effects of desegregation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The Work Zone Safety and Mobility Rule (23 CFR [section] 630 Subpart J) established requirements and offers guidance to state transportation agencies for addressing the traffic...
Transforming Medical Image Segmentation with Enhanced U-Net Architectures and Adaptive Transfer Learning
(2023)
with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), has facilitated significant advancements in medical image segmentation. U-Net, a prominent CNN architecture, provides accurate segmentation results with relatively low training samples due to its encoder-decoder structure...
Under the auspices of privacy � or not : surveying the state judicial treatment of access to government records
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
While privacy is paramount to a person's liberty interest, it is not absolute in all circumstances. Often, public interests trump an individual's right to privacy. Since the enactment of freedom of information statutes by ...

Identification and characterization of glyphosate-resistant common ragweed
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
. With glyphosate's high efficacy rate and increased adoption over many hectares, it could be argued that where it is applied at least one or more times a cropping year, resistant weeds will occur frequently. In 2002, a Missouri population of common ragweed...
Curvilinear segmentation and classification of blood vessels using random forest and deep learning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
and adapted new deep learning networks (VNet, SVNet, and optimized U-Net) for obtaining robust segmentations of microvasculature. As a result, we've proved that combining both RF OFB and optimized U-Net (RF OFB+U-Net) architectures achieves the highest score...
