Diversity and evolution of the sauropsid trigeminal sensory system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Understanding the evolution of sensory perception is essential in explaining organismal behavior. Organisms using environmental stimuli to navigate their environments, avoid predation, capture prey, and find a mate, have ...
Northern bobwhite brood ecology and population dynamics in southwest Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) have experienced widespread, long-term population declines. Bobwhite populations in Missouri have declined 2.7% annually between 1966 and 2015, and 3.5% annually between 2005 and 2015, for a cumulative loss...
Impacts of municipal wastewater effluent on seed banks, chemistry, and microorganisms of soils excavated from wetland impoundments designated for wildlife
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
To evaluate the effects of municipal wastewater effluent (WWE) and Missouri River water (MOR) as irrigation sources on soil chemistry, seed banks, and microorganisms, a field study was conducted in conjunction with a set of greenhouse studies...
Predictors of performance-based measures of instrumental activities of daily living in stroke survivors
(University of Missouri–Kansas City, 2016)
The aim of this dissertation was to investigate the relationship between cognitive domains/executive functions and performance on measures of Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) in stroke survivors. Fifty-two ...
Neutron diffraction studies on ABO₃ (A=La, Sr, B=Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Mn, Ti) perovskite used in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and double perovskite Ba₂YRu[0.85-subscript]Cu[0.15-subscript]O₆ superconductor
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
ABO₃(A=La, Sr, B=Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Mn, Ti) perovskites are of great interest due to their mixed electronic and oxygen ion conductivity. They are candidates for the electrodes of SOFCs. This study investigates the effects of ...
Relation of Missouri river flows to sandbar morphology with implications for selected biota
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
.e. an aquatic-terrestrial zone (ATTZ), within the main channel of the lower Missouri River. Predictive models of sandbar morphometry (area, wetted perimeter, elevation, and water-surface slope) were developed to determine how changes in discharge affect...
Effects of levels of statistics and the role of number anxiety on perceived story credibility and personal involvement
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The purpose of this research is to examine effects of levels of statistics on perceived story credibility and personal involvement and the role of number anxiety on these results...
Beyond the border war : student civil rights activism at the University of Kansas and the University of Missouri, 1946-1954
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This dissertation examines post-World War II student civil rights activism at two Midwestern college campuses, the University of Missouri (MU) and the University...
Alcohol consumption, executive function and risky decision making
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Previous research has shown that alcohol intoxication can adversely affect behavior by impairing higher cognitive function (e.g., Giancola, 2000) and can lead to increased risk-taking (Leigh, 1999) via impaired executive ...
Sustainable management of invasive species
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
, chemical restrictions, and invasive species. The current reports of non-native species introductions have been correlated to historical trade volumes, suggesting that integrated pest management programs will need to adjust to mitigate current and future...
An analysis of the financial structure of local farm supply cooperatives in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1972)
structure cannot be made. In 1945, a study was conducted by Herman M. Haag at the University of Missouri which examined the financial results of business operations of 110 local cooperative associations from 1939 to 1942. Specifically, this study described...
The separation of vanadium from crude sodium uranate and conversion of latter into uranium oxide
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)
The experiments here described have resulted in at least four methods that have proven successful for removal of vanadium from the crude urinate, which is obtained on a large scale in the plant of the National Radium Institute.
Adjusting organizational structure for cooperative longevity : Missouri farmers association, 1920 - 1950
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The objective of this qualitative exploratory study is to analyze the process which led Missouri Farmer Association (MFA) to dramatically change its organizational structure...
Transaction costs and market thinness in crop byproduct markets
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Studies in crop byproduct literature have looked more at the nutrient impacts, rather than analytical cost implications of crop byproducts in livestock feed rations. Thin market studies stated the lack of product volume and player count in a market...
Chemical modifications to produce soy-based polyols
