Risk and stability of phosphate-immobilized lead in contaminated urban soil and mining sites in the Jasper County Superfund Site
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
In situ application of soluble phosphates and organic matter is considered to be a cost effective remediation technique for immobilizing lead (Pb) and other heavy metals and reducing health and ecological risks associated ...
Cell identification, verification, and classification using shape analysis techniques
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The use of object-oriented approaches in both the verification of meteorological variables (especially precipitation) and the short-term forecasting ...
A study of lightning flashes attending periods of banded heavy snowfall
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Lighting[sic] flashes associated with 24 banded thundersnow events were analyzed to document their polarity, signal strength, and multiplicity. Radar ...
Two extreme cases of atmospheric blocking over Europe and North America
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Atmospheric blocking is simply the inhibition, on the synoptic and planetary scale, of the normal mid-latitude progression of migratory cyclones and anticyclones. While the block itself is readily observable as a 500-hPa ...
Comparison of rainfall energy and soil erosion parameters from a rainfall simulator and natural rain
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Numerous studies have used artificial rainfall to quantify relationships for runoff and soil detachment. Application of these results to natural rainfall conditions is dependent in part on how well artificial rainfall ...
A tall tower wind investigation of northwest Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
With energy needs on the rise and our current energy consumption methods polluting the atmosphere, it is the right time to look at alternative forms of energy production. Six Tall Tower wind observation sites were studied ...
Use of different sources and rates of foliar potassium with glyphosate to overcome environmental- and management-induced K deficiency in soybeans
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The incidence of potassium (K) deficiency in soybeans [Glycine max (L.) Merr] has increased over the last few years in Missouri and other Midwestern states. Postemergence application of foliar K fertilizer would have the ...
Variability of soil hydraulic properties and estimation of plant-available water on claypan-soil landscapes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Soil hydraulic properties and plant-available water (PAW) capacity are critical properties in evaluating land management and soil productivity. This ...
