How to Have a Successful Educational Meeting on a Public Issue (1993)
(University of Missouri Extension, 1993)
Citizens have the duty and opportunity to help make many group decisions about complex issues. Group decisions are those in which two or more people have a voice or vote. The decision may affect one or more persons ...

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...
UF-CRDS: a pulsed uniform supersonic flow apparatus coupled with continuous-wave cavity ringdown spectroscopy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
. These are separated by 800 mm and with them we could achieve a maximum ringdown decay time constant of about 160 [mu]s. For time-independent absorbing samples, the enhanced rate of power loss compared to the empty cavity leads to faster exponential decays. When...
Modeling the influence of climate and management practices on water quality in Goodwater Creek experimental watershed
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
's Audrain and Boone Counties. Data were collected from 1993 through 2003. Regressions were conducted among water quality indicators, climatic variables, and the change in area protected by BMPs. Results showed significant decreases in atrazine concentrations...
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...
Role of preovulatory estradiol in uterine and luteal function
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
, and reproductive tracts were recovered and flushed on day 16 of gestation. Mean ([plus or minus] SEM) conceptus number and length did not differ (P > 0.15) between heifers in the Low E2 (2.5 [plus or minus] 0.7; 7.1 [plus or minus] 1.7 cm) and High E2 (2.3 [plus...
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 ...
Function of abscisic acid in maintenance of maize primary root growth under water deficit
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Previous studies suggested that ABA accumulation is required to maintain maize primary root elongation under water deficit and that one of the functions of ABA is to restrict ethylene evolution. These studies were conducted ...
Assessing "lithic sound" to predict a rock's ease of flaking
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Objective information concerning "lithic sound's" properties of pitch, duration, and intensity, can inform archaeologists about a stone's candidacy for human use, and whether or not lithic material at a site has been heat ...
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 ...
Biomineralizers from the proterozoic to today : assessing taxonomy and paleoecology through the lens of taphonomy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The onset of metazoan predation is presumed to have triggered an evolutionary arms race of prey defenses, including the advent of biomineralization. ...
The role of genetic and phenotypic diversity in maize and its effects on aflatoxin accumulation by the fungus Aspergillus flavus
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Accumulation of the potent carcinogen, aflatoxin, in maize poses a significant health risk to humans and animals. Most commercially grown maize lines are susceptible to infection by the fungus that synthesizes aflatoxin, ...
Association between urinary iodine concentrations and insulin resistance in US adults
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Background: Iodine intake within the US population has declined in recent years. Mild iodine deficiency increases the risk of inadequate thyroid hormone production and there is growing evidence that sub-clinical hypothyroidism ...
