Many states use rural expressway median crossovers which provide for separation between the two opposing traffic lanes to manage the direct left turn movements between the expressways and cross roads. As the volume increases on the major road...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The Missouri Gravel Bed (MGB) is a system that uses pea gravel with 10% sand (v/v) as a root growth medium, allowing bare root plants to be removed from the gravel and planted...

Recently, various researchers have claimed that time does not play a direct role in shortterm forgetting. Instead, they claim that time is only related to forgetting because it is correlated with other factors that cause ...

This paper further develops models of regional migration, particularly in continents integrating regionally as it magnifies the importance of immigrant behavior for economists and policy-makers. I outline the history of ...

"The purpose of this project is to study the competitive position of Missouri dairy farms using business records of dairy farmers in order to determine the cost of producing milk on farms of different sizes (economic of scale), and the relationship...

and environmental conditions influence automated detection probability. I evaluated if observers and deep learning can differentiate between turkeys and vultures. Finally, I determined survey effort required to detect a 5-20 percent change in wild turkey population...

'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...

It is generally accepted in geotechnical engineering that non-cohesive materials such as sands exhibit no or negligible tensile strength. However, there is significant evidence that interparticle forces arising from capillary ...

Composition of soybean seeds is important to manufacturers of tofu and natto food products. The effect of environment on seed composition of tofu and natto soybean cultivars was measured in Missouri in 2004 and 2005. The environment was altered...

of log grade through the harvest cycle shows the highest increments at Cordoba region. Dendrometric variables such as heartwood, sapwood, and diameter and crown height are good estimators of tree volume, taper and branch modeling....

"Missouri is fortunate in its strategic location near the heart of the grain belt east of the Great plains cattle producing areas and on the western fringe of concentrated centers of population. A combination of favorable factors have contributed...

The Site Stormwater with Best Management Practices (BMPs) Analysis Calculator was created to be utilized in the State of Missouri for developing or re- developing property. Simplistic and conservative stormwater evaluations utilizing regional...

as an adaptation strategy by farmers in Missouri is driven primarily by the volume of crop production and not vulnerability to changing climate....

volumes and diameters for statistical comparison between the two different size classes of coprolite. In combination with volume renders of the segmented material, we also adopt more traditional methods such as thin-section petrography and scanning...

The cost of food is the all important question at the present time. Our people must be fed. The problem is to discover what available foods will give the most nutritive value at a minimum cost. When we observe that a pound ...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI--COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Soybean (Glycine max Merr.) is one of the most important cash crops worldwide. It is widely used to produce oil and protein for food and animal feed. Soybean grain...

when traffic volumes are under 1400 veh/hr/ln, and preferably under 1000 veh/hr/ln, due to the drastic increase in the number of conflicts. In addition, three data driven models were developed to predict traffic speed inside a MWZ: a linear regression...

Missouri Department of Conservation's (MDC) best management practices (BMPs) for Regenerative Oak Clear Cutting (ROCC) practice was evaluated on effectiveness to preserve downstream water quality. Fifteen sites, located on MDC lands in Shannon...

An integrated mechanized timber harvest thinning treatment to remove small diameter trees and merchantable saw logs was conducted on 30 acres of the Missouri, Ozarks in the summer of 2009. Two silvicultural treatments (single tree selection...

-plug porosity data was generated from well-log data with random number generation. The GS model requires basic histograms and variogram models for scaling the computerized tomography (CT) plug data to well log scale as well as integrating the data in a...
