How moral value (in)congruence shapes Chinese textile employees' trust and their firm's financial performance
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Supporting by the Moral Responsibility for Corporate Sustainability theory and Resource Advantage Theory of Competition, this study is aimed at examining the relationship between the moral value (in)congruence between ...
Influence of various wetting agents on water status in USGA greens as determined by their physical properties
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Soil hydrophobicity is an increasing issue in sandy soils, affecting agricultural land and golf courses. This phenomenon causes water repellency and bypassing of hydrophobic root zones, limiting water accessibility. Due ...
Men and maternal care: how men make sense of their experiences with a partner's pregnancy, labor, and delivery
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Men often report wanting to be involved in a partner's pregnancy, labor, and delivery but may feel unsure of what to do or if they are allowed to participate. Existing studies describe men's participation and are mostly ...
Explainable artificial intelligence for patient stratification and drug repositioning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Enabling precision medicine requires developing robust patient stratification methods as well as drugs tailored to homogeneous subgroups of patients from a heterogeneous population. Developing de novo drugs is expensive ...
Mining the Drosophila gustatory receptor family for new thermosensitive proteins : basic science and tool development
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Extrinsic control of neural activity is a powerful paradigm for understanding how neural circuits operate and regulate behavior. Traditionally, optogenetic tools are used to activate or inhibit neuronal activity with light. ...
Fatigue and static behaviour of post-tensioned steel-concrete composite beams
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Strengthening steel and concrete composite (SCC) bridge superstructures using post-tensioned steel tendons offers many advantages. Since bridge structures are usually exposed to fatigue cycles, understanding the fatigue ...
Structural modeling of the 3D genome using machine learning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
This dissertation, submitted as a partial requirement for completion of the Doctorate of Philosophy, outlines the research performed by Max Highsmith in the BDM Lab. This work includes a functional expansion of a ...
Nursing professional development in ambulatory care: what is it?
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Nursing professional development (NPD) practitioners play an important role in ensuring the quality and safety of nursing care and in guiding nurses through practice transitions. In recent years, an increasing number of ...
Theoretical analysis and experimental investigation of a combined compact evaporative cooler
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Evaporative cooling utilizes the fact that water can absorb a relatively large amount of heat during the evaporation process. When this evaporation process takes place in ambient air, the ambient air temperature can be ...
Direct laser scribed MoO2-based materials and their applications in bioelectronics and soft robotics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Overcoming the disadvantages of rigid traditional electronic materials, flexible epidermal electronics with soft, elastic and mechanically conformable characteristics are capturing wide attention. In order to meet the ...
3D polymeric scaffolds towards biomedical applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI--COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] How can research on mechanical engineering and materials science contribute to human health? The fabrication of biomedical scaffolds could ...
Comparisons of Support Among K-12 Music Teachers in Missouri and Kansas
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2020)
The purpose of this study is to examine correlations between various personal and situational factors and music teachers’ perceptions of support received from administration, colleagues, and students’ parents. We developed ...

Bacterial culture and susceptibility of samples taken from septic foot lesions of adult beef cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Lameness is an economically important and common disease of cattle. Foot disease is the most common cause of cattle lameness; however, there are few publications regarding lameness in cow-calf operations. The objectives ...
Associations between genetic risk for trait aggression and alcohol use predicting alcohol-related aggression
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
A propensity for aggression and/or alcohol use may be associated with alcoholrelated aggression. Previous research has shown genetic overlap between alcohol use and aggression, but has not looked at how alcohol-related ...
