Shape optimization for beam structural design
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1988)
structures, much of the work has been concerned with truss problems [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]. Some work has also been reported for frame st ructures[10,11,12]. However, the vast majority of this effort was almost exclusively focused on member sizing...
Textural properties of coagulated milk products containing soy protein
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1982)
The textural properties of coagulated milk products were studied by Scanning Electron Microscopy and Texture Profile Analysis. Soy protein and casein interactions were explored with chemically modified soy proteins. The ...
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 ...
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 ...
Yeast mutants containing elevated methionine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1983)
-free medium. The mutant exhibiting the largest increase in methionine content was 1369/0, an NA mutant, in which methionine was increased 54.6% as a percentage of the protein above that of the parent strain. Of the 17 amino acids recovered, the increase was 9.4...
The complex refractive index of water
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 1981)
A spectrum of the imaginary part of the complex index of refraction for water as a function of wave number was compiled from the literature and theoretical considerations. The spectrum ranged from 10⁻⁶ through 10⁸ cm⁻¹. ...
Mapping nif genes of Rhodobacter capsulatus, and characterization of a mutant with a pleiotropic defect in nitrogen metabolism
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1988)
Mutations affecting the ability of the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus to fix nitrogen (Nif- ) have previously been mapped into six linkage groups (I-VI) by transduction with gene transfer agent (GTA). ...
Structural and dimensional force system synthesis for one degree-of-freedom planar linkages by using interactive computer graphics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1984)
objectives depending on the particular problem, such as : l)to reduce the required size of driving force devices, 2)to reduce energy consumption, 3)control maximum bearing forces, 4) reduce inertia shaking forces and moments, and 5)reduce impact force...
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 ...
Characterization of pigment-protein complexes in the cyanobacterium Anacystis Nidulans R2
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1987)
contain extrinsic phycobilisomes, whereas chloroplasts have integral membrane light-harvesting Chl-protein complexes. We show that cyanobacteria are capable of synthesizing an intrinsic light-harvesting structure (termed CPVI-4) similar in many respects...
Trade barriers to grain cooperatives in exporting
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1986)
The objective of this study was to determine if there were any barriers to grain cooperatives in exporting. Barriers are obstacles associated with the structure of the market. Data compiled to determine if any barriers ...
A holographic interferometry study of an axisymmetric shock-wave/boundary-layer strong interaction flow
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1986)
pressures of 1.7 and 3.4 atm provided Reynolds number values of 18 • 106 and 36 • 106 based on model length. Three cone angles (12.5°, 20°, and 30°) were studied giving negligible, incipient, and large scale flow separation respectively. The initial cylinder...
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 criminology to American sociology...
Uncertainty and the microfoundations of supply response : some theoretical considerations and an empirical application in the U.S. corn market
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1987)
This study has examined how a micro-level decision model which incorporates uncertainty can be reconciled with observed market behavior. Conditions under which a firm-market correspondence exists in a deterministic environment ...
The centrique part : John Donne's Elegies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1987)
"An extended study of the Elegies of John Donne is long overdue. Beyond such notable exceptions as "Going to Bed," "The Perfume," and "The Bracelet," the Elegies, overall, constitute a neglected area of Donne's canon. In ...
John Horne Burns : Toward a Critical Biography
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1985)
The dissertation traces John Horne Burns's life and career as a novelist and English teacher, from his origins in Andover through his literary success with The Gallery (1947), Lucifer with a Book (1949), and A Cry of ...
