The effects of exercise on organizational and personal outcomes : a work-home resources perspective
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
In the organizational sciences, daily exercise research has largely centered on how exercise replenishes resources depleted by work and thus facilitates recovery during off-work time. However, we know little about whether ...
Tales of an 'invisible' life stage : survival and physiology among terrestrial juvenile ambystomatid salamanders
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
-breeding salamanders in the genus Ambystoma. I first estimated juvenile survival rates among three ambystomatid species (A. annulatum, A. maculatum and A. texanum) by conducting an 11-month capture-mark recapture study within semi-natural enclosures. I found juvenile...
Institutions and issues : explaining radical right party existence and support in Europe, 1980-2005
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
. In the end, I argue neither a purely institutional model nor a purely issue-based model can fully explain variation in radical right support across Central and Eastern Europe. Instead, I advocate that an interactive model which combines the effects of both...
A diffusion model analysis of transitivity and lexicographic semiorder
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
daunting. Despite their clearly different decision-making processes, little empirical evidence of such different cognitive processes has been reported, so I decide to run the diffusion model analysis to provide empirical evidence of the underlying cognitive...
Organic-inorganic hybrid materials for arsenic adsorption : surface complexation and intraparticle diffusion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
performance is necessary. It is also important to study and understand the arsenic adsorption performance of any newly developed organic-inorganic hybrid material under the context of practical applications for arsenic removal from water. The arsenic...
Assessment and diversity of fish communities in non-wadeable tributaries of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
As the geographical centers of riverscapes, rivers support fish populations at local and basin-wide scales. However, refinements to fish sampling protocols and theories underpinning basin-wide community ecology have been ...
Kids aren't buying what we are selling: a quantitative analysis of student dropout and school supports for dropout prevention
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-06-01)
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the number of administrators and counselors in schools and the graduation rates in those schools. Administrators and counselors work closely with students ...
Telemedicine Quality Improvement Study
Telemedicine is a novel field that contributes to the modernized healthcare system we have today, wherein a need exists for further refinement of applied methods and technology that is readily available and economical. ...
Imidacloprid sorption and transport in cropland, grass buffer and riparian buffer soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
by applying Br - as a nonreactive tracer. A single pulse of 14C-ICD was applied, and ICD leaching was monitored for up to 45 days. Bromide and ICD breakthrough curves for each column were simulated using CXTFIT, a convection/dispersion-based transport...
Ab initio calculations of mechanical, thermodynamic and electronic structure properties of mullite, Iota-alumina and boron carbide
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-05-22)
solution series with x=1. Based on a high alumina content mullite phase, a structural model for ι-Al₂O₃ is constructed. The simulated x-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of this model agrees well with a measured XRD pattern. The ι-Al₂O₃ is a highly disordered...
Discourse structure as the scaffolding of stance structure : developments of a central concept in a central site of discursive interaction in bioethics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
between these disciplines were, on balance, cooperative, and some division of labor was evident in the seventh edition, with philosophers used mostly for conceptual analysis and biomedical disciplines used mostly for technical and empirical support...
The influence of fusarium species on sweet potato plant performance, root yield and quality
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) is a global important food crop, that has recorded an increase in the consumption, and demand for especially ...
The crisis autobiography : Augustine, Rousseau, and Wordsworth
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
This project, which on the broadest level can be defined as a comparative study of Augustine's Confessions, Rousseau's Confessions, and Wordsworth's Prelude, is an attempt to bridge a notable gap in the critical literature. ...
Balanced Calendar versus Traditional Calendar: Measuring the Difference in Reading Academic Achievement among Kindergarten through Third-Grade Students Who Have Been Identified as Reading Below or Well-Below Grade Level
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)
School accountability is increasing with federal mandates. As public schools investigate
strategies to raise students’ achievement scores and graduation rates, some have implemented a
modified school calendar. Schools ...
Effect of different marinade treatments on survival and morphology of pathogens in beef jerky
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
were pH, water activity and enumeration of microbial count. Every marinade used in this study was effective in reducing pathogen survival on inoculated beef jerky when compared to the control, which was evident by low microbial count in treated jerky...
Influence of seasonal environment, top and bottom deck transport, transport duration, and time in lairage on overall pork quality and blood serum cortisol concentrations of market hogs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Objectives of this study were to determine effects of seasonal environment, top and bottom deck transport, transport duration, and time in lairage on overall pork quality and blood serum concentrations of the stress hormone ...

Structure and Physical Properties of Hydrogrossular Mineral Series
(2015)
The mineral hydrogrossular series (Ca₃Al₂(SiO4)₃₋ₓ(OH) ₄ₓ; 0 ≤ x ≤ 3) are important water bearing minerals found in the upper and lower part of the Earth’s mantle. They are vital to the planet’s hydrosphere under different ...
