Pre-harvest water quality of ephemeral streams in Missouri Ozark forests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) developed a best management practice that leaves a riparian buffer next to streams to reduce the possibility of water quality degradation. The purpose of this study is to quantify water quality in upland...
An evaluation of pre- and post-timber harvest water quality in low-order streams in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
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...
Exploring the impact of peracetic acid on bacterial regrowth and plasmid release and developing a novel whole-cell biosensor to monitor the expression of quorum sensing genes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Peracetic acid (PAA or CH3COOOH) is a promising alternative to chlorine-based disinfectants for water and wastewater treatment due to its strong antimicrobial properties and low...
Occurrence and modeling of THMS and HAA formation in drinking water
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) are two of the largest classes of disinfection by-products (DBPs) during chlorination in drinking waters. In this dissertation...
Modeling pedestrian crash severity in St. Louis using random forests and mixed logit techniques
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI--COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The pedestrian-vehicle crashes in the City of St. Louis is a major concern due to the high magnitude of injuries and fatalities compared to Missouri's statewide...
Conservation and allocation of slope in gravity sanitary sewer design
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
constraints throughout each route. The methodology was tested in an undeveloped area near Ashland, Missouri to simulate a new development. Two pairs of baseline and slope conserving routes were evaluated, and the slope-conserving routes were found to require...
