The kinetics of non-catalyzed supercritical water reforming of ethanol
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Agriculturally produced ethanol, a renewable resource, may be reformed noncatalytically into hydrogen by a novel process utilizing supercritical water, which acts synergistically both as a solvent and as a reactant. By ...
Advantages of the no-scalpel vasectomy technique
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2012)
The no-scalpel vasectomy (NSV) technique should be used instead of the standard incisional method. (Strength of Recommendation: A, based on systematic reviews, mixed-quality randomized controlled trials [RCTs], cohort ...
Comparative study of type 2 median crossovers and median u-turns
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Many states use rural expressway median crossovers which provide for separation between the two opposing traffic lanes to manage the direct left turn movements between the expressways and cross roads. As the volume increases on the major road...
Accelerated fill-up of the Arbuckle Group aquifer and links to U.S. midcontinent seismicity
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2019)
newly compiled data set for 49 wells across Kansas that provides a unique perspective on the aquifer's performance over two decades. Statistical analysis of falloff test pressures, static fluid levels, and injection volumes shows that Arbuckle pressures...
Geostatistical integration of core and well log data for high-resolution reservoir modeling
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-06-01)
-plug porosity data was generated from well-log data with random number generation. The GS model requires basic histograms and variogram models for scaling the computerized tomography (CT) plug data to well log scale as well as integrating the data in a...
Liming in Missouri in the 20th century
(University of Missouri--Columbia, Agricultural Experiment Station, 2003)
The following are objectives of this publication ... Provide a condensed history of liming research and practices in Missouri ... Summarize the methods in use at the end of the Twentieth Century to estimate the need for liming material ... Sumarize...
Rheological and morphological evolution of basaltic lava flows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
question of how pre-existing topography controls lava flow system structure in volume-limited flows (Soldati et al., accepted). I concluded that a steep slope results in a single, stable channel, whereas a gentle slope results in an unstable, braided...
Photoacoustic detection of circulating tumor cells
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
based on the change in refractive index was developed to detect individual melanoma cells. The sensitivity of the optical based detector was high and has the resolution to determine the presence of extremely low number of metastatic and cultured cells (2...
Upper Shoal Creek Watershed: Water Quality Analysis
(Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) at the University of Missouri-Columbia, 2004-02)
FAPRI, with significant input from the local community, has developed this analysis defining how current agricultural practices in the upper Shoal Creek Watershed affect water quality.
Political engagement among religious leaders and their relationships with the media
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Religious leaders have a unique societal position when it comes to political engagement and media representation. The degree in which it is appropriate for religious leaders to engage in political events and activity varies ...
Predicting the Spatial Distribution of Ground Flora on Large Domains Using a Hierarchical Bayesian Model
(Landscape Ecology, 2003)
Accomodation of important sources of uncertainty in ecological models is essential to realistically predicting ecological processes. The purpose of this project is to develop a robust methodology for modeling natural ...
Flexure shear response in fatigue of fiber reinforced concrete beams with FRP tensile reinforcement
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
of polypropylene fibers by volume, individual compressive tests were performed on both lab-mix and ready mix concrete specimens. In the lab, concrete mixes with 0.0%, 0.5%, and 1.0% by volume, fibrillated polypropylene fibers were produced. Along with these...
