Dynamic separation of suspended solids
(1970)
A pilot study of a dynamic means of separating suspended solids from a two-phase flow is described. The separation is achieved by passing the two-phase flow through an orifice. The difference in mass between the suspended ...
The evaluation of environmental alterations by thermal loading and acid pollution in the cooling reservoir of a steam-electric station
(1970)
Thomas Hill Reservoir was built in 1966 by the Associated Electric Cooperative to provide cooling water for a team electric plant. The reservoir was formed by damming the middle fork of the Chariton River. It is located ...
Implications of Increased Ethanol Production for U.S. Agriculture
(Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) at the University of Missouri-Columbia, 2005-08)
FAPRI analysis indicates that increased ethanol production resulting from the Energy Policy Act of 2005 will have important effects on markets for corn and other crops, government farm program costs, and net farm income.
Use of the veterinary medical database to update the veterinary oncology literature
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)

In-hospital mortality rate and predictors of 30-day readmission in patients with iron deficiency anemia and diastolic heart failure: A cross-sectional study
(University of Missouri, Department of Medicine, Division of Hospital Medicine, 2022-07)
.54% were females. The 30-day readmission rate in patients with diastolic heart failure and iron deficiency anemia was 18.32 % vs. 16.01% in patients without anemia. The mortality rate at index admission and readmission was 3.62 % (2601) and 5.82 % (737...

Polyacrylamide amendment for erosion and runoff control on soils of differing characteristics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[superscript -1] (103 ft lb ft[superscript -2] hr[superscript -1]) for 62 min. Differences in TRO, RO, and SL for soils, amendments, and slopes were all significant, as were their two-way interactions (p<0.01). Tested soil amendments had varied responses on TRO...
Physical and chemical attributes of a defatted soy flour meat analog
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The objective of this study was to observe how the replacement of soy protein isolate in a meat analog with defatted soy flour would affect the physical and chemical characteristics of the product. A 4x3x3 (four mixes, ...
A Statistical Study Comparing the Melodic Characteristcs of Prelude in C#m, op. 45 by Chopin and "Les Bruyeres" From Preludes (Bk. II) by Debussy
(1981)
This study is a statistical analysis of two piano preludes,
"Prelude in C# minor," Opus 45 by Chopin, written in 1845, and a later
work, "Les Bruyeres," from Preludes, BK. II by Debussy, written in
1913. Each prelude ...
Body composition comparison : bioelectric impedance analysis with DXA in adult athletes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
significantly overestimated %BF by 6.4 [plus or minus] 0.5 in the entire group (p [less than] 0.001) and in both the endurance group (6.1 [plus or minus] 0.6, p [less than] 0.001) and the power group (6.7 [plus or minus] 0.7, p [less than] 0.001). The endurance...
A comparison of Nebo Hill and Sedalia points
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Classification of Nebo Hill and Sedalia points as separate types has been the subject of debate among archaeologists. Some argue that identification of two point types is erroneous and there is only one type with a wide ...
Do stock prices influence corporate tax behavior?
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
This study examines how the firm-specific information in stock prices influences corporate tax behavior. Research demonstrates that managers learn from and respond to information contained in stock prices. However, the ...
Analysis of a Continuation of The 1990 Farm Bill With 23% NFAI
(Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) at the University of Missouri-Columbia, 1999-06)
Impact analysis of extending a modified version of the 1990 Farm Bill measured against the FAPRI 1999 U.S. Agricultural Outlook, which incorporates provisions of the 1996 Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform (FAIR) Act.
Soil surface-seal measurement using high-resolution x-ray computed tomography (HRCT)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Rainfall on bare soil breaks soil aggregates, detaching particles, plugging pores and decreasing porosity in the top few mm of soil. This reduces hydraulic conductivity and increases runoff through a process known as surface ...
FAPRI Analysis of the Flexible Fallow Program
(Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) at the University of Missouri-Columbia, 1999-08)
Proposed as an addition to existing legislation, Flexible Fallow would give producers the option to voluntarily idle a portion of their acreage in exchange for higher loan rates on their remaining production.
