Ion-selective electrodes for simultaneous real-time analysis for soil macronutrients
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Automated sensing of soil macronutrients (i.e., N, P, and K) would allow more efficient mapping of soil nutrient variability for variable-rate nutrient management. This study reports on the development of a sensor array ...
Modeling the influence of climate and management practices on water quality in Goodwater Creek experimental watershed
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The objective of this study was to determine relationships among weather, runoff, water quality, and best management practice (BMP) implementation in reducing atrazine losses in the 7,250-ha Goodwater Creek Experimental ...
Fibrous soy protein meat analog from low moisture twin-screw extrusion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Mixtures of soy protein isolate (SPI), defatted soy flour, and wheat flour were extruded at 34% (w.b.) moisture using a twin-screw extruder. A 3x3x3 ...
A novel PCR based DNA microanalyzer system for detection of viral genome
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
A micro-fluidic assay to quickly analyze microscopic samples of DNA is being developed for field applications. It consists of a micro-PCR chamber, micropumps, and micro-heaters. Additional components of the device include ...
Optical reflectance in fibrous tissues and skeletal muscles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
We studied diffuse optical reflectance in two anisotropic biological tissues: high moisture soy extrudates and skeletal muscles. High moisture extrusion of soy proteins can produce healthy alternative protein sources that ...
Detection of cold flow properties of diesel and biodiesel fuel using optical sensor
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Identification of cloud point for biodiesel fuel can be used to optimize the performance of biodiesel fueled vehicles in cold weather. Cloud point is the temperature at which the smallest cluster of wax crystal is observed ...
Properties of extruded white corn flour - high amylose corn starch puffs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
This study was conducted to determine the effect of high-amylose corn starch in corn puffs on the extrusion parameters, product and textural properties and the glass transition temperature. The data was analyzed in a ...
