Assessing single- and dual-process accounts of recognition memory using hierarchical Bayesian models
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Recognition memory refers to a person's ability to recognize something that has been previously encountered. For several decades recognition memory has been thought to be governed by a single process whereby the strength ...
Firm strategy and knowledge management in strategic supply chain relationships : a knowledge-based view
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Using the knowledge-based view, this study seeks to understand the relationship between firm strategic orientation and interorganizational knowledge management in strategic supply chain alliances of high technology firms. ...
An ecological systems approach to reduce children's encounters with obscenity on the internet
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
This dissertation explores how to reduce children's encounters with obscenity on the Internet. Congress has been trying to shield children from encountering online obscenity and some of Congress' attempts failed because ...
But in the night we are all the same

Anger, efficacy, and identity in activism : public perceptions of threat appraisal, attitudes, and behavioral intention
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
This study was an exploratory attempt to apply an identity-based approach using concepts of avowed and ascribed identities to different types of activist organizations when managing a potential crisis based on the threat ...
Resilience among elementary educators as measured by the personal and organizational quality assessment-revised and the emotional quotient inventory: short
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of time on the indices within the Personal and Organizational Assessment-Revised (POQA-R, Institute of HeartMath, 1999-2004) among rural, elementary educators ...
Revealing the conformation and properties of human genome, protein molecules and protein domain co-occurrence network
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, encodes genetic instructions for the functionalities of organisms. For human beings, 23 pairs of chromosomes, containing DNA strands, form a globule structure in the nucleus. This chromosomal ...
Pain and function in knee osteoarthritis : are they related to local intrinsic factors?
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
The study of knee osteoarthritis (OA) has been hampered by the inability to adequately characterize the subject pool with respect to local intrinsic factors and there is little evidence to guide the selection of factors ...
Modeling of molecular and particulate transport in dry spent nuclear fuel canisters
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
There are two important phenomena associated with the depressurization of a dry spent nuclear fuel canister after the formation of a through-wall pinhole breach. The first phenomenon is the release from the canister of any ...
Studying Janus behavior : how support, deterrence, grievances and organizational structure shape violent and peaceful behaviors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Examples abound of movements once entirely fixated on violence who choose to enter the political arena, exchanging politics by force for politics of a gentler sort. These groups exhibit "Janus-faced" personalities, ...
Advanced analysis of short-fiber polymer composite material behavior
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Short-fiber polymer composites experience widespread use in many industrial applications, where the orientation states of the short-fibers within the polymer matrix define the material properties of the composite structure. ...
In vitro synovial fibrochondrogenesis for meniscal tissue engineering
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
A series of in vitro studies were performed to evaluate the fibrochondrogenic potential of synovial membrane cells, for the long term goal of inducing meniscal fibrocartilage healing and regeneration. The first study ...
Discovery of epitopes governing MMP-12 specificity for fibrillar substrates : BINDSIght, a method for determining specific sites of substrate surface interactions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] What determines MMP-12 elastase activity? We have found that the fibrillar substrate specificity of MMP-12 involves surfaces ranging beyond the intensively studied active site...
