Bayesian spatial data analysis with application to the Missouri Ozark forest ecosystem project
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
of Bayesian estimators under several invariant loss functions. In the second part, we first propose an efficient algorithm for Bayesian spatial analysis via the generalized Ratio-of-Uniforms method, which generates independent samples from the resulting...
Mathematical problems from cryobiology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
to the description of exact solutions to this 70-year-old nonlinear system, a global stability result for the generalized system with n-solutes, controllability and existence of optimal controls in the n-solute case, and a complete synthesis of optimal controls...
Biomineralizers from the proterozoic to today : assessing taxonomy and paleoecology through the lens of taphonomy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The onset of metazoan predation is presumed to have triggered an evolutionary arms race of prey defenses, including the advent of biomineralization. Escalating biological...

Quasi-metric geometry : smoothness and convergence results
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
, and smoothness of quasi-metric spaces, and the second dealing with Euclidean geometry, namely the role geometry plays in analysis, particularly in the characterization of Lipschitz domains via cones, domains of class C[superscript 1], [superscript w], where w...
A Nonlinear IV Likelihood-Based Rank Test for Multivariate Time Series and Long Panels
(Berkeley Electronic Press, 2010)
-sectional correlation of the disturbances. The nonlinear IV rank test also extends earlier research on nonlinear IV unit root tests. However, the optimal instrument in the univariate case is not admissible in the more general multivariate case. The chi-squared result...
Nutrients, chlorophyll and bacterial fecal indicators in coves and open water areas of Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Urban development and use of septic tanks in porous soils of Lake of the Ozarks poses a threat to public health via leaching into drinking wells and coves used for swimming. During 2 summers, phosphorus (TP), nitrogen (TN), chlorophyll (Chl), fecal...
Importance of agritourism for agripreneur goal accomplishment
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
associated with the importance of agritourism in accomplishment within four goal dimensions via descriptive-relational survey research. Agritourism farms in Missouri are in the business of agricultural production, rather than maintaining their land...
A genetic approach to determine river otter abundance in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
's effects on sport fish populations have sparked controversy. The MDC responded by increasing efforts to monitor river otter populations, using latrine site counts to measure relative abundance across several rivers in Missouri. However, the actual number...
Corridors and deer-vehicle collisions along Missouri interstate highways
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
A total of 3,639 deer-vehicle collisions (DVCs) were reported on Missouri roadways in 2020, resulting in 348 injuries and 5 deaths. Missouri is ranked 15th nationwide for this type of accident. Of the DVCs, 490 occurred along 1,200 miles of urban...

The generalization of positive intergroup attitudes : reducing intergroup anxiety
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Contact settings that include equal status, cooperation/pursuit of common goals, acquaintance potential, and authority sanction can improve intergroup attitudes. However...
The clothing and textile research base: an author cocitation study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
This is a study of the clothing and textile research base using author cocitation analysis. The study uses a custom database from a 15 year period, containing all citations in the field's leading journal: the Clothing and ...
Spatiotemporal patterns of earthquakes and their implications for earthquake hazards
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
This work focuses on characterizing spatiotemporal patterns of earthquakes, their possible causes, and their implications for seismic hazard assessment. I studied both local and global earthquakes in the view of complex ...
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...
The relationship between cortisol and social stress in late adolescent girls' friendships

Director ties, board experience, and firm strategic outcomes : board experience effects on post-acquisition performance
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
of the entire assets of target firms. Results generally do not support the notion that acquiring firms benefit through positive post-acquisition performance from the past experience of their outside directors. However, significant results with respect to board...
