Electromagnetic effects on soybeans
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
In this study we have exposed different varieties of soybean seeds to electromagnetic (EM) radiation at a frequency other than that of light. The objective was to determine changes in the germination rate, if any, under ...
The use of magnetic resonance imaging and proton spectroscopy to identify critical tissues in dogs with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy for future assessment of therapeutic intervention : a pilot study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy is a debilitating disease that affects skeletal and cardiac muscle of 1 in 5000 male births. In the last thirty years, the gene responsible for the encoding of Dystrophin has been identified, ...
High valent uranium dioxo and imido complexes : synthesis and structure
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
and imido ancillary ligands in mono- and bimetallic complexes geared to elucidate the effects of ligand substitution and metal-metal communication on the 5f1 electronic configuration. Future directions and applications for each area are summarized....
An evaluation of pre- and post-timber harvest water quality in low-order streams in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
-and post-harvest samples showed that six of the twelve water quality parameters (TSS, TVSS, Ca, K, NO[superscript 3 -] and SRP) had probabilities that the post-harvest concentration would exceed the pre-harvest concentration, after taking climatic factors...
First-principle simulation of blast barrier effectiveness for the development of simplified design tools
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Blast barrier walls have been shown to reduce the blast load on structures in most scenarios. Analysis of existing data for blast barrier response ...
