Lorentzian warped products and static space-times
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1985)
Let (M, g) be a Lorentzian manifold, (H, h) a Reimannian manifold, and let f: H [right arrow] (0, [infinity symbol] be an arbitarary smooth function. Then the product manifold M x H with Lorentzian metric g = (f[suprscript ...
Some characteristics and environmental sensitivities of taxpayers taking the United States political contribution tax credit during 1979-1982
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1988)
This study was designed to determine characteristics of taxpayers taking the political contribution tax credit from 1979 to 1982. This work is similar to studies on the effectiveness of tax incentives in promoting positive ...
Assessment of behavioral, neurochemical and developmental effects in developing rats following in utero exposure to non-teratogenic levels of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1984)
The safe or non-teratogenic levels following prenatal exposure of animals to chlorophenoxy herbicides are currently based on offspring survival, growth and absence of anatomical defects or overt neurological impairment. ...
A numerical study on the rotational motion of an axisymmetric particle in a viscous fluid
(University of Missouri -- Columbia., 1983)
"The motion of a single particle in an inertialess unbounded Newtonian fluid has been studied for more than 100 years. The applications of such problems in industry are: the transport of slurries in pulp processing, the ...
Diffusion through porus media in transition region
(University of Missouri -- Columbia., 1981)
Chemical engineering is the design of industrial processes in which raw materials are under physical and/or chemical treatment. Catalysis is very importment in these processes. Therefore, a knowledge of the movement of ...
Equilibrium and transport properties of polyatomic gases
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1988)
The spherical shell intermolecular potential function was used to represent the properties of pure components and mixtures of gases. Parameters for this function were evaluated using second virial coefficient data and ...
Simulation model for entrained bed gasification
(University of Missouri -- Columbia., 1981)
Contrary to impressions that might be gained from the intense interest now expressed in it, coal gasification is not a new or even a particularly novel concept. The technical principles underlying it were well understood ...
Characteristics of pre-rigor processed beef
(University of Missouri -- Columbia., 1981)
"During the last 25 years, the total production of beef and beef products in the U.S. has markedly increased. Most of this increase has been in the form of ground beef and ground beef products (Sink, 1980). In 1970, 20 ...
Edwin Sutherland and the origins of differential association theory
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1984)
The purpose of this dissertation is to examine thoroughly the origin of Edwin H. Sutherland’s theory of differential association and to show hew it evolved with Sutherland’s development as a criminologist. Comparing ...
OPEC as a non-state actor : formation and dynamics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1982)
This dissertation analyzes the factors which have promoted the formation of OPEC and the dynamics of its confrontation with the multinational oil companies (MNOCs). It analyzes the rise of OPEC from the perspective of the ...
On the steady states and dynamic behavior of two CSTR's in series
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1987)
The mass and energy balances describing transcient behavior of two continuous flow stirred tank reactors in series are written in dimensionless form, for a first order reaction. It is shown that the maximum number of steady ...
Critique of the political self : criticism of the conceptual adequacy of political culture from the perspective of Plato, Hobbes, Montesquieu, and Kant
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1982)
The last four decades’ national bifurcation in Korea reflects not only the international power struggle between powerful foreign nations but also their ideological conflict. Under the assumption that the internalization ...
Development and evaluation of pattern recognition habitat models for the ruffed grouse, gray squirrel, and fox squirrel in Missouri
(University of Missouri -- Columbia., 1987)
Pattern recognition (PATREC) models are single-species models that use habitat characteristics to arrive at an estimation of population abundance. Currently, personnel of the Mark Twain National Forest in Missouri are using ...
High pressure enthalpy of vaporization and vapor pressure for coal based chemicals
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1982)
It is redundant to emphasize the need for high pressure thermodynamic studies especially when coal is regarded as an alternate source for energy. Apart from the aspects of economics in the design of industrial process to ...
Structure and organization comparisons of U.S. large volume swine producers : a national survey
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1986)
A national sample of hog operations marketing 1,000 head or more a year was taken in 1981. A mail questionnaire gathered the necessary information. A second survey grouped operations into three groups: feeder pig producers, ...
Yeast mutants containing elevated methionine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1983)
Yeasts are deficient in methionine which restricts the nutritive value of the protein. The objective of this research was to produce a methionine-rich mutant. Mutants of Candida tropical is ATCC 1369, Candida tropica!is ...
Incentives for food crop production in Tanzania : with special reference to the Mbeya region
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1984)
The objectives of this study were to determine the potential impacts of a) increased output prices, b) reduction of input costs, and c) improved technology on increasing food production, specifically marketable surplus in ...
Effects of constraint variation on the fatigue growth of surface flaws
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1985)
Studies have shown that fatigue growth of semielliptic surface flaws in plates is not adequately predicted solely by stress intensity factor analysis. The variation in stress field triaxiality along the flaw border must ...
A holographic interferometry study of an axisymmetric shock-wave/boundary-layer strong interaction flow
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1986)
An experimental study of the axisymmetric shock-wave/ turbulent boundary-layer strong-interaction flow generated in the vicinity of a cylinder-cone intersection has been conducted. The present data are useful in the ...
Maximal multiplicity and bifurcation in a CSTR with two consecutive first order reactions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1987)
The steady state equation of a continuous stirred tank reactor is considered in the frame work of singularity theory. The maximal multiplicity of seven is obtained. The importance of the bifurcation parameter is studied ...
