Purpose maintained : adverse childhood experiences and meaning in life
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
--coherence, significance, and purpose. Studies 1 (N = 1138 undergraduates), 2 (N = 705 undergraduates), and 3 (N = 822 noncollege adults) showed that ACEs were negatively related to coherence and significance (controlling for the other two facets) but unrelated to purpose...
Evaluation of use of dry-process rubber modification in asphalt mixtures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
performance grade for rubber-modified mixtures revealed large differences in the useable temperature intervals (UTI = PG high temperature -- PG low temperature, e.g. PG64-22 has UTI = 86[degrees]C) obtained from recovered binder testing and mixture testing...
Exploring factors associated with free and reduced-price lunch participation in Missouri school districts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Participation in school meal programs is critical for meeting the most vulnerable children's daily food requirements while allowing School Food Authorities to get reimbursed for the meal provided and thus continue to run ...
Fabrication of clog-free microfluidic cell isolation and solid-state light-emitting devices for biomedical applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
Over the past few decades, research and development on microfluidic devices, also referred to as lab-on-a-chip systems or microfluidic total analysis systems (TAS), have advanced quickly. There aren't many commercial success ...
Genomics of seasonal hair shedding and ecoregion-specific growth to identify environmentally-adapted beef cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Recently, interest has increased in augmenting current national scale cattle evaluations with precision genetic predictions tailored to specific environmental conditions. Some efforts to develop environmentally-aware ...
Three essays on economics of higher education
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
, and research productivity. We find no evidence of wage premiums for individuals who improve racial/ethnic and gender diversity, although for black faculty we cannot rule out a modest premium. In Chapter 2, I use student-level administrative data from a state...
The molecular underpinnings of neuronal cell identity in the stomatogastric ganglion of cancer borealis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
of extensive molecular sequence knowledge in crustaceans. Here we generated de novo transcriptome assembly from central nervous system tissue for C. borealis producing 42,766 contigs, focusing on an initial identification, curation, and comparison of genes...

the writing content, the NG differed from the FG in both linguistic structure and psychological processes while the NG and CG differed mainly in their use of psychological processes and pronouns. In Study 2, a more vivid character creating procedure...
Looking broadly and deeply into perspectives of local climate change impacts among visitors to Missouri state parks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Missouri's outdoor recreation resources provide numerous mental, physical, and social values to millions of people each year and serve as a major ...
The role of social support on caregiving experiences among dementia caregivers: a latent class analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Dementia is one of the major causes of disability and dependency among older adults and the care provided to people with dementia is wide-ranging and all-encompassing. Many dementia care recipients reply heavily upon their ...
From farm to fraternity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
In this study I present my examination of young men from rural backgrounds and family farms who joined agricultural-based fraternities in college and the experiences they have at a large Midwestern university. I utilized ...
Smartphone-based molecular sensing for advanced characterization of asphalt concrete materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Pavement systems deteriorate with time due to the aging of materials, excessive use, overloading, climatic conditions, inadequate maintenance, and deficiencies in inspection methods. Proper evaluation of pavement conditions ...
