Writing Features (1993)
(University of Missouri Extension, 1993)
A good feature writer is imaginative, curious, nosey, attentive, unconventional, witty, and usually is not above "borrowing" a good writing idea from someone else. He or she does a good job of digging out information, then ...
Membrane interactions with membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) is essential to a myriad of extracellular activities including tumor cell migration and angiogenesis. At the cell surface, MT1-MMP is a major factor in the proteolysis of ...
Agroforestry buffer, biomass crop, and grain crop effects on soil quality and soil water use
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
may avoid soil degradation as well as improve soil and water quality. The objectives of this study were (i) to evaluate the effects of different perennial vegetative management systems and soil depth (10- cm depth increments from the surface to the 40...
Effects of prescribed fire on forest soil properties in the Ozark Highlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
soil bulk density was measured at the 0-10, 10-20, and 20-30 cm depths before fire, and bulk density at the 0-10 cm depth was re-sampled two years post-burn. There was no change in bulk density of the whole soil and the fine soil fraction. Mineral soil...
The role of terrrestrial habitat in the population dynamics and conservation of pond-breeding amphibians
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
I used both demographic modeling and experimental field research to evaluate the role of terrestrial habitat in the population dynamics and conservation of pond-breeding amphibians. I began by using literature data to ...
Variability of soil hydraulic properties and estimation of plant-available water on claypan-soil landscapes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
and landscape position, intact soil core samples (76 by 76 mm) were taken from the 0- to 10-, 10- to 20-, and 20- to 30-cm soil depths. For objective 2, soil profile samples were taken at 18 to 19 locations from each of two close-by fields and PAW capacity...
Detection of gust fronts using the doppler velocity derived divergence product
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Identifying gust fronts can be essential for situational awareness when developing nowcasts during convective events. In addition to bearing potentially damaging winds, gust fronts also act as forcing mechanisms; influencing ...
Conformational Behavior and Structural Parameters of Some Cyclic and Chain Molecules
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
The physicochemical properties of a molecule derive from its molecular structure, and
that structure often involves the orientation of one part of the molecule about a particular
bond with respect to the rest of the ...
Conformational and Structural Determinations of Substituted Four and Five Membered Rings by Infrared, Raman, and Microwave Spectral Studies
(2014)
Studies of the structure and conformational stabilities of molecules have become
increasingly important due in part to advances in the fields of biochemistry and nanochemistry.
Specifically the conformation of organoamines ...
Dissipation and carryover of imidazolinone herbicides in imidazolinone-resistant rice (Oryza sativa)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The development of Imidazolinone (IMI) Resistant (IR) rice now allows rice producers to selectively control red rice (Oryza sativa, O. rufipogon, and O.nivara), weedy relatives of commercial rice (O. sativa). Imazethapyr ...
Conformational stability of some silanes and amines from temperature dependent Infrared spectra of rare as solutions, r₀ structural parameters, ab initio calculations, and vibrational assignments
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-06-12)
The infrared (3600-40 cm-1) and Raman (3600-20 cm-1) spectra of numerous molecules containing silanes or amines have been recorded in the gas, liquid and solid phases. Additionally, variable temperature studies of the infrared spectra of the sample...
Raman, Infrared and Microwave Spectra, Conformational Stability, R₀ Structural Parameters and Vibrational Assignments of Some Organoamines, Organophosphines, Alcohols And Substituted Four And Five Membered Rings
(2014)
of the sample dissolved in Raman xenon has been determined to be 113 ± 11 cm⁻¹ (1.35 ± 0.13 kJ mol⁻¹) with the trans conformer the more stable form. For n-propylamine, the five possible conformers have been identified and their relative stabilities obtained...
Forest harvest effects on soil chemical properties and nutrient concentrations in Ozark Highland soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
pools. Ten years after harvest, soil samples were collected in 10 cm increments from 0-to-30 cm in each treatment (CC, STS, and no-harvest removal sites), in three different nutrient status soils pre-determined by subsoil percent base saturation (BS: low...
The use of geomorphological and pedological soil characteristics to assess planar borrowing at a Mandan Indian village, North Dakota
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
The Double Ditch State Historic Site is situated in a loess landscape immediately east of the Missouri River near Bismarck, North Dakota. The site was occupied from ca AD 1450 to 1785 by Mandan Indians, Plains Villagers ...
Veterinary antibiotic sorption to agroforestry buffer, grass buffer and cropland soils
(2009)
Veterinary antibiotics are used to treat infectious animal diseases and enhance animal growth. In Missouri, the increased growth of confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs) and the need to dispose of manure generated by ...
Quantification of risk factors for occupational Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
(1993-12)
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common type of neuropathy in which the median nerve is compressed within the carpal tunnel at the wrist. The incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome in the work place is called occupational ...
Comparing the diversity, geographic distribution, and intraspecific variation of subterranean termites (Reticulitermes: Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) occuring in woodlands and urban environments of Missouri using morphology and 16s mtDNA
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Subterranean termite species in the genus Reticulitermes are ecologically and economically important in the United States. At least six species of the genus Reticulitermes are native from North American forests where they ...
Understanding rural poverty clusters : the intersection of agriculture, economic structure and locality under postindustrialism
