Development of urban area geospatial information products from high resolution satellite imagery using advanced image analysis techniques
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)The latest generation of commercial satellite imaging sensors have a number of characteristics (e.g. high spatial resolution, multispectral bands, and quick revisit time), that make them ideal data sources for a variety ... -
Development and evaluation of a technique for evaluating riparian vegetation change in the tallgrass prairie
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)North America's tallgrass prairie region is one of the world's most endangered ecosystems. Recent management and research efforts have focused on the effects of anthropogenic change to upland components of the tallgrass ... -
Characterization and functional significance of Msc2p & Zrg17p, which form a zinc transport complex in the endoplasmic reticulum of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)We demonstrate a novel interaction between two members of the cation diffusion facilitator (CDF) family in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: Msc2p and a newly recognized CDF family member, Zrg17p. Both Msc2p and Zrg17p have been ... -
But in the night we are all the same
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)But In the Night We Are All the Same, a critical dystopian novel, explores the creation and perpetuation of power structures, gender identity, and desire. The protagonist, Lemon, is a member of the oppressed class. She ... -
Arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase and ubiquitin as potential fertility markers in boars
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This study was performed to determine whether using high power microscopic analysis and two putative biochemical fertility markers, 15-lipoxygenase ... -
Application of a digital terrain model for forrest land classification and soil survey
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)Land characterization and classification is central to sound natural resource management. Forest land classifications usually lack sufficient detail, are not scale-adjustable, and are limited in scope and applications for ... -
Annealing-dependent phenomena in Ga₁[-x]Mn[x]As
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)There has been a great deal of recent research interest in the development of "spintronics" technology. Many potential spintronic devices will require a "spin injector" capable of producing a spin-polarized current. In ... -
An analysis of the 1875-1877 scarlet fever epidemic of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)An epidemic of scarlet fever on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada between 1875 and 1877 is analyzed in the context of a larger, world-wide pandemic of scarlet fever that occurred between 1825 and 1885. Data derived ... -
Agent-based modeling of seasonal population movement and the spread of the 1918-1919 flu: the effect on a small community
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)Agent-based modeling provides a new approach to the study of virgin soil epidemics like the 1918-1919 flu. By using this bottom-up simulation approach, a landscape can be created and populated with a heterogeneous group ... -
Adoption and diffusion of agrobiotechnologies in the US cotton production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)The study examines the farm level adoption and county level diffusion of three cotton biotechnologies in the US: insect resistant (Bollgard®), herbicide tolerance (Roundup Ready®), and stacked trait (Bollgard® & Roundup ...
