Climate and land use effects on hydrologic processes and water allocation in a primarily rain-fed, agricultural watershed
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] There is a need to raise our understanding of the impact of climate variability and change on hydrologic processes at the watershed scale. This is important, particularly...
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 ...
Climate change impacts on hydrologic components and occurrence of drought in an agricultural watershed
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
of Goodwater Creek Experimental Watershed (GCEW) and experimental field (Field1) were assessed using climate datasets from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5), Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) and Agricultural Policy Environmental...
Development of UAV-based high-throughput phenotyping technologies towards improving soybean breeding efficiency
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Development of new crop varieties with improved traits through crop breeding programs is one of the promising solutions for the estimated food crisis in 2050 when agricultural production needs to double its current growth rate to feed 10 billion...
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...
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 Watershed in NE Missouri...
Detecting estrus in sows using a robotic imaging system and neural networks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
The global demand for pork products is expected to grow further with the growth of the population. Traditional swine farming presents disadvantages such as low breeding efficiency and high labor cost. Estrus detection is ...
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 ...
Development of an online planning tool for designing terrace layouts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
A web-based conservation planning tool for terrace layouts was created by modifying a terrace location program (TERLOC), developed originally by Sudduth and Gregory (1982) and revised by Ghidey et al. (1992). Development ...
Creating a zero-waste soy processing system and developing vitamin B12 fortified non-GMO high oleic soy-based products using encapsulation technology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
temperature stability factor to our diet due to their high temperature tolerance. In line with sustainability standards, a newly developed variety at the University of Missouri and the USDA (non-GMO-HO soybean). The soybean processing industry generates...
