Bayesian non-parametric methods for benefit-risk assessment and massive multiple-domain data
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The development of systematic and structured approaches to assess benefit-risk of medical products is a major challenge for regulatory decision makers. ...
Photosynthesis and heat tolerance of soybean
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The Photochemical Reflectance Index (PRI) is determined from canopy spectral reflectance measurements and can provide important information about ...
Computational studies of three chemical systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
The subject of this dissertation is the use of electronic structure calculations to examine and supplement the experimental observations of three different chemical systems. Both ab initio and DFT methods have been employed. ...
The development and validation of the disaster adaptation and resilience scale
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Disaster events both in the U.S. and worldwide are increasing in severity and prevalence. In response to the threat of disasters, the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has issued calls for developing well-tested ...
Designing a robust supply chain network against disruptions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Supply chains are vulnerable to disruptions at any stage of the distribution system. These disruptions can be caused by natural disasters, production problems, or labor defects. The consequences of these disruptions may ...
Mechanisms of photoreceptor mediated responses in photomorphogenesis and phototropism
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Photoreceptor facilitated light perception provides plants with critical environmental information from which they can direct their growth. We investigated the early photomorphogenic responses in Glycine max and Glycine ...
Vaccine-induced protective immunity against coxiella burnetii
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular Gram-negative bacterial pathogen and the causative agent of human Q fever. This disease presents acutely as a flu-like illness, although it can escalate to a chronic and often ...
