Using theory of reasoned action (TRA) in understanding selection and use of information resources : an information resource selection and use model
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
With advanced computer and networking technologies, more and more information can be accessed electronically. Information overload has become an issue and it is increasingly difficult for a user to quickly identify and ...
Molecular and genetic studies of iron homeostasis in Arabidopsis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Iron is an essential element for plant survival. However, in excess, it is deleterious to the organism. In the present thesis we describe a functional genomic approach and a mutant screen directed towards increasing our ...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In the United States, prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the third leading cause of cancer related deaths in men. With early ...
An Exploration of Teachers’ Early Childhood Guidance Beliefs and Practice within Early Learning Classrooms
(2015)
Child guidance approaches, models, and strategies impact the quality of the classroom environment through teacher-child interactions, positive and negative climates, and the development of self-regulation and autonomy. ...
Macroinvertebrate assemblage composition along a longitudinal multiple-land-use gradient in a midwestern stream
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Land use changes often alter hydrogeomorphology and hydrologic flow regimes, which can adversely impact stream aquatic biota. Hinkson Creek Watershed (HCW, 231km2) located in Boone County, central Missouri, is comprised ...
Soil health assessment of the Sanborn Field long-term experimental study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Soil health assessment uses a combination of potential indicators affecting soil processes to comprehensively monitor soil change, caused by cropping systems and soil management. The objectives of the study were to assess ...
Role of non-hypophototropic hypocotyl[3] (NPH[3]) in regulation of phototropism in Arabidopsis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Light is arguably one of the most important environmental factor that not only provides the plant with its energy needs but also cues to modulate its ...
Ion-selective electrodes for simultaneous real-time analysis for soil macronutrients
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Automated sensing of soil macronutrients (i.e., N, P, and K) would allow more efficient mapping of soil nutrient variability for variable-rate nutrient management. This study reports on the development of a sensor array ...

Media startup companies are small. There are many platforms they can utilize to gather more readership. Social media accounts are a kind of owned media with lower costs. There are also paid platforms companies can use to ...
Roles of clathrin-coated vesicle networks in plant immunity and development
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] For a plant cell, the plasma membrane (PM) is not only the interface with its environment but also a signaling platform. Proteins localized to the PM ...
Boundary value problems for the Stokes system in arbitrary Lipschitz domains
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
The goal of this work is to treat the main boundary value problems for the Stokes system, i.e., (i) the Dirichlet problem with Lp-data and nontangential maximal function estimates, (ii) the Neumann problem with Lp-data and ...
