(University of Missouri--Columbia. Museum of Art and Archaeology, 2019)
, and a considerable number of further examples known but not yet published, the stele in the University of Missouri Museum of Art and Archaeology belongs to a tiny group of such gravestones with unusual interest and, indeed, a unique description...
Assessing the Impact of Changing Climate on Agriculture in Missouri and the use of Crop Insurance as Adaptation Strategy (1980-2010)
(2015)
as an adaptation strategy by farmers in Missouri is driven primarily by the volume of crop production and not vulnerability to changing climate....
A genetic approach to determine river otter abundance in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
's effects on sport fish populations have sparked controversy. The MDC responded by increasing efforts to monitor river otter populations, using latrine site counts to measure relative abundance across several rivers in Missouri. However, the actual number...
Rheological and morphological evolution of basaltic lava flows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
question of how pre-existing topography controls lava flow system structure in volume-limited flows (Soldati et al., accepted). I concluded that a steep slope results in a single, stable channel, whereas a gentle slope results in an unstable, braided...
An in depth evaluation of internal criteria for determining the number of clusters in a data set
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Clustering procedures partition data sets into groups, minimizing the distance within clusters while maximizing the distance between clusters. Clustering can be a powerful tool...
A Matter of Life and Death : "Reading" a Funerary Relief
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Museum of Art and Archaeology, 2009)
"Funerary monuments from the eastern Roman Empire are both numerous and varied. The Museum of Art and Archaeology at the university of Missouri has a particularly interesting one -- a relief that commemorates a woman named Levitha, who lived...
A Fifteenth-Century French Illuminated Calendar Leaf
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Museum of Art and Archaeology, 2005)
to the circle of the Coerivy Master. In the case of the Missouri leaf, we are fortunate: enough sister leaves are documented to reconstruct an idea of the manuscript's textual and visual content. These clues suggest that the calendar leafwas part of a unified...
Mizzou, volume 100, number 1 (2011 Fall)
(MU Alumni Association, University of Missouri, 2011)
Nectar in nicotiana : pollinator associations, sources of variation, and evolutionary consequences
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
significant heritable component was detected for nectar volume and energy, as well as corolla tube length, in an experimental population of Nicotiana alata. Although phenotypic correlations were significant for all measured traits, only two correlations had a...
Numerical solutions to the Poisson equation in media surrounding multiple arbitrarily shaped bodies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The dissertation describes a general, efficient, and parallelized approach to solving the Poisson equation in the volume surrounding multiple, arbitrarily shaped bodies. Green...

Cardiovascular risks of combined oral contraceptive use
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2012)
Because of an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, the use of combined oral contraceptives (OCs) should be considered carefully in women who smoke and in those with hypertension or hyperlipidemia. (Strength of ...
Photoacoustic detection of circulating tumor cells
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
based on the change in refractive index was developed to detect individual melanoma cells. The sensitivity of the optical based detector was high and has the resolution to determine the presence of extremely low number of metastatic and cultured cells (2...

Nanomechanical property characterization of femoral head materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Orthopedic Implants under long-term physiological loading could produce changes in the surface mechanical properties and possible failure. The knowledge of mechanical properties...
Designing a LANDIS PRO harvest module and examining the effects of temporal resolution on simulation outcomes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
and testing of a disturbance module that simulates harvest events in the LANDIS PRO model. The design operates on quantitative attributes such as number of trees and basal area to control harvest events, giving the user the ability to parameterize harvest...
