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 ...
Development of novel bionanocomposite scaffolds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The development of three novel bionanocomposite scaffolds is presented in this dissertation. These scaffold materials are comprised of amine-functionalized nanomaterials...
Use of geographic information systems and remote sensing as automated tool for variable rate irrigation prescriptions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Economic as well as water shortage pressure on agricultural use of water has placed added emphasis on efficient irrigation management. Center pivot technology has made great...
Development of a multispectral sensor for crop canopy temperature measurement
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
The Multispectral System for Imaging of a Crop Canopy (MSICC) that combines a miniature long wavelength infrared (LWIR) camera with a visible camera was developed to capture a field of view and derive a plant specific ...
Evaluation of a solid-liquid manure separation operation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
, and barn construction and operating costs. A full-scale barn in Missouri was closely monitored to perform these objectives. Laboratory scale pretreatments and filtrations were conducted to evaluate the practicality of nutrient/water recycling from...
Ion-selective electrodes for simultaneous real-time analysis for soil macronutrients
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
, and of cobalt rod-based phosphate ISEs were satisfactory for measuring N, P, and K ions over typical ranges of soil concentrations. The nitrate ISEs, when used in conjunction with the Kelowna extractant (0.25M CH₃COOH + 0.015M NH₄F), provided soil NO₃-N values...
