Examination of a peer-mediated intervention as a method for the generalization of social skills among youth with high-functioning autism
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of a peer-mediated intervention on the generalization of acquired social skills via social skills training groups for high-functioning youth with social competence ...
An examination of the extracurricular activity participation, social skills, and school engagement of students with emotional and behavioral disorders
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Students with EBD have difficulties both academically and socially and experience poor outcomes compared to their peers with and without disabilities. Extracurricular activities are positively associated with improved ...
Soil phosphorus pools and harvest effects on soil solution chemistry in the Missouri Ozark Highlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Forests ecosystems are governed by complex and dynamic nutrient cycles where soil is a major provider of nutrients essential for plant growth. Disturbances occurring in forested ecosystems (timber harvest, fire, and disease ...
Rainfall observations using dual-polarization radar coupled with a drop motion and evaporation model
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Measuring spatial coverage of rainfall is important for several disciplines; unfortunately, rainfall data via rain gauges is very limited in spatial coverage. The best remote sensing tool available for rainfall estimation ...
A study of the connection between TV meteorologists and their viewers during severe weather broadcasts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
After the devastating tornadoes in Joplin, MO and in the Deep South in 2011, it seemed appropriate to look at the impact that broadcast meteorologists (and their TV coverage) have on their viewers during severe weather ...
A study of emergency management policy regarding the use of tornado sirens during severe weather in the state of Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
In recent years there have been many devastating tornadoes which have hit cities of all sizes across the state of Missouri, including St. Louis (April 22, 2011) rated EF 4, Joplin (May 22, 2011) rated EF 5 and Sedalia (May ...
Apex and fuzzy model assessment of environmental benefits of agroforestry buffers for claypan soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Contamination of surface waters with pollutants from agricultural land is a major threat to the environment. A field-size watershed study in Northeast Missouri showed that vegetated filter strips containing grass and ...
A comparison of three opportunities to respond strategies across students with emotional and behavioral disorders in high school classrooms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
A single subject alternating treatment design across three teacher-student dyads was used to investigate the comparative impact on student academic engaged time (AET) of three common opportunities to respond (OTR) ...
Ramp event analysis for western Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
This work focuses on rapid increases and decreases in wind speed that produce "ramps" which affect wind power calculations and planning. Average wind speeds are predicted with a high level of accuracy; however variable ...
Effects of a consortia probiotic inoculant on soil microorganisms and impacts on autoinducers employed in quorum sensing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Disease control in plant agriculture is largely achieved through application of various antimicrobials. Manipulation of indigenous soil microbial communities received attention as it promises improved pathogen control and ...
Neighboring upper level jet streaks, their proximity, and their synergestic coupling of the divergent regions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
A reoccurring question when diagnosing the upper troposphere is: How close is close enough for jet streaks to be considered coupled? The phrase, 'coupled jet streaks' refers to two individual jet streaks working synergistically ...
An analysis of environmental influences on morphologies and tornadogenesis within quasi-linear convective systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) often take the form of quasi-linear convective systems (QLCSs) within the mid-latitudes of the United States. QLCSs have a quasi-linear convective precipitation structure either followed ...
