Surface texture produced by peripheral milling with helical end mills
(University of Missouri -- Columbia., 1972)
on the geometrical considerations of a circular tooth path. Experimentation was conducted to correlate the theoretical approximations and to determine the significance of process variables using multiple regression analysis. The theory, based entirely...
Felix convivum : platters and transformations of dining behavior in the Roman world
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Most people in the Roman world used ceramic tableware, despite its absence in iconographical and in literary sources. This observation leads to many questions about how...
Kinematic analysis of cam profiles used in compound bows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
The first compound bow was invented in Missouri in 1969. [Allen, 1968] Compound bows are uniquely different from other types of bows in that they use a set of cables, cams and pulley, and two elastic limbs that act as springs, to create a mechanical...
Ultra-wideband miniaturized microstrip patch antennas for wireless communications: design guidelines and modeling
(2013)
and radiation pattern of the UWB microstrip patch antenna is extensively investigated with simulations using FEKO. A set of simple design guidelines is proposed to provide approximate rules that result in optimum "first-pass" designs of probe-fed, miniaturized...
Modulation of HBV infection and replication by cell-derived factors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is one of the most serious health problems. HBV infection leads to serious morbidity and mortality due to the complications of chronic HBV...
Power in the garden : exploring the lives of Missouri farm women and their vegetable gardens during the Great Depression
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
the Depression-era vegetable garden and its value in helping to keep farm families off relief rolls and remain relatively self-sufficient. It also examines the role of the professional women - Extension home demonstration agents - who worked with farm women...
Establishing a foundation for large DNA transfer to artificial minichromosomes and B insert platforms in maize
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
In plants, conventional genetic engineering methods limit the number of available traits that could potentially improve the quality of agriculture. Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and biolistic bombardment are tools ...
The early imperial ceramics as evidence for life at Roman Sardis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Historical testimonia tell us that in the year 17 CE, an earthquake struck in Western Asia Minor and destroyed the city of Sardis. Recent excavations in the Field 49, Field 55...
Waterproof dress : an exploration of development and design from 1880 through 1895
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Waterproof dress had an important role in the late nineteenth century. Heretofore little research has been done to examine the development and design of this apparel sector. The three types of waterproofing techniques used ...
Design of Instrumentation and Methodologies for Determination of Free Neutron Characteristics
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2017)
Measuring neutron source‐dependent free neutron properties over a large neutron energy range, with human‐portable instrumentation, continues to push the frontier of neutron detection instrumentation design and analysis ...
Insights into atomic orbital polarization in polyatomic dissociation from DC slide velocity map imaging
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] "The field of chemical reaction dynamics is based upon understanding the details of elementary chemical reactions. It seeks to answer fundamental questions such as, what...
Reconstructing activity patterns in prehistoric Jomon people using long bone cross-sectional geometry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
This thesis uses long bone diaphyseal morphology to test hypotheses regarding behavior and functional adaptation among Jomon period hunter-gatherers from the Yoshigo site in Japan. Cross-sectional properties of Jomon femora ...
Conodonts from isolated Devonian outcrops
(University of Missouri., 1958)
Shales, sandy shales, and sandstones were sampled from isolated outcrops at Sulphur Springs and at Coal Hollow in Ste. Genevieve County. An attempt was made to find the answers to the following questions: (1) Can the ...
Shock tube experimentation utilizing advance diagnostics for the study of an impulsively accelerated multiphase cylinder
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
exchanges with the gas all contribute to the development of the instability. An experiment has been developed for studying the SDMI at the University of Missouri's shock tube facility. A multiphase interface is created and flowed into the shock tube test...
Christian tomb mosaics of late Roman, Vandalic and Byzantine Byzacena
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1998)
Christians in North Africa in the Late Roman, Vandalic and Byzantine periods marked the tombs of loved ones with mosaics that combined epitaphs with symbols and images. This study focuses on 186 Christian tomb mosaics from ...
Simulation algorithms for fractal radiation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This thesis presents a method to analyze a series of structures, referred to as fractals, that radiate electromagnetic waves. The fractal series are components of the so...
Dedications in clay : terracotta figurines in early Iron Age Greece (c. 1100-700 BCE)
