[EMBARGOED UNTIL 12/1/2024] Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) have historically been denied the right to express their sexuality or engage in sexual relationships due to misconceptions or ...
An evaluation of functional analysis methodology for play behaviors in children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Deficits in play skills are common among children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The importance of play in educational settings provides opportunities to build relationships and social interactions in those ...
Impacts of soil management practices on soil fertility in potato-based cropping systems in the Bolivian Andean highlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Due to changes in climate and socioeconomic developments, current soil management practices in the Bolivian Andean Highlands may be increasing soil degradation thereby threatening food security. A study was established in ...
Polyacrylamide amendment for erosion and runoff control on soils of differing characteristics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
The use of anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) as a soil amendment is an emerging conservation practice. However, guidelines have not been developed with considerations of soil properties and topographic characteristics. The ...
Supporting practitioners' use of pivotal response training within educational contexts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
The purpose of this study was to assess the viability of Pivotal Response Training by practitioners within educational contexts. A concurrent multiple baseline design across 4 practitioner-student dyads consisting of phases ...
Impacts of municipal wastewater effluent on seed banks, chemistry, and microorganisms of soils excavated from wetland impoundments designated for wildlife
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
To evaluate the effects of municipal wastewater effluent (WWE) and Missouri River water (MOR) as irrigation sources on soil chemistry, seed banks, and microorganisms, a field study was conducted in conjunction with a set ...
Classification of air pollution regimes in the Missouri region
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
High levels of ground level ozone have been linked to large-scale weather patterns both at the surface and in the upper atmosphere. For this reason, the main focus of this study was to analyze the atmospheric conditions ...
