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...
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...

Between-row mower design for weed control in organically grown no-till soybeans
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
conducted when seedlings were 4 in (10.2 cm) and repeated as needed until canopy closure. Broadleaf and grass biomass was collected between-row and in the row of organic soybeans to evaluate the efficacy of the weed treatment. Weed biomass...
Knowledge discovery and data mining from freeway section traffic data
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Archived traffic-generated data (traffic flow, accident, work-zone, and weather data) from PR-18 in San Juan was examined by means of association mining and the KDD process. A total of six studies were developed and studied ...
Drainage water management practices affect water quality, soil properties, and crop production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
. This dissertation includes results from four studies conducted at the MU Greenley Research Center, Grace Greeley farm, and Ross Jones farm. Long-term, no-till research evaluated the influence of a wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), radish (Raphanus raphanistrum subsp...
Body size and shape in insular environments and applications of the island rule in biological anthropology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
The discovery of small-bodied hominin fossils in 2004 on the island of Flores, Indonesia, unearthed a large debate within biological anthropology. This debate has exemplified that there are questions and research areas ...
Physiology of glyphosate-resistant johnsongrass and implications for management
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Glyphosate, as the formulated commercial herbicide Roundup®, was introduced by Monsanto in 1974. The broad-spectrum activity of glyphosate made it an excellent candidate for engineering herbicide-resistant crops. Following ...
Genetic variation and health in rural Caribbean village
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Bwa Mawego is a small-scale horticultural community (~500 people) on the island of Dominica that has been the site of a longitudinal health research project for more than 30 years. Cardiovascular diseases and metabolic ...
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 ...
Influence of entomopathogenic fungi from forest and urban habitats on founding pairs of reticulitermes flavipes (rhinotermitidae)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
In forest habitats, termites break down woody debris and assist in nutrient cycling of carbon and nitrogen. However, infestations in suburban habitats have given subterranean termites a high priority for pest management. ...
A mixed method approach to exploring landowner interest in woody plantings to integrate conservation and production on Missouri farms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Agroforestry plantings can provide multiple benefits such as reduced soil erosion, decreased nutrient runoff, increased biodiversity, and greater farm income stability. This array of benefits makes them a promising ...
Computational modeling of the fear circuit : a system approach to understand anxiety and stress disorder
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Computational models are becoming increasingly important to systems neuroscience. In fear learning, although there have been a few attempts at modeling emotional learning and memory in the past, most were limited to ...
