Roadway effects on the hydrologic regime of temporary wetlands in the Missouri River floodplain in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
on the hydrologic regime of temporary wetland basins within the agricultural landscape of the Missouri River floodplain from Hartsburg to Independence, Missouri. This study is part of a larger existing research project designed by the Missouri Department...
Cotton seed and cotton-seed products as feeds for live stock
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
The purpose of this work was to get together the results of the different experiments with cotton seed and cotton seed products in order that comparisons might be made of the feeding values of the different products with each other and with other...
The surface tension of soap solutions and their emulsifying power
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1919)
"In this work, surface tensions of solutions of sodium palmitate and of sodium stearate in contact with air have been determined. These surface tensions were found to increase with decrease in the concentration of the ...
Response of natural and artificial pin oak reproduction to mid- and understory removal in a bottomland hardwood forest
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
bottomland forest sites in southeastern Missouri. The mid- and understory removal treatment increased the amount of photosynthetically active radiation reaching the understory from 3 percent of full sunlight to 16 percent of full sunlight. This increase...
Power in the garden : exploring the lives of Missouri farm women and their vegetable gardens during the Great Depression
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Today, when fresh, canned, and frozen vegetables are plentiful and taken for granted, the home vegetable garden is regarded as something between a hobby and a luxury. But in the Great Depression of the 1930s, the household ...
A test of differential GPS correction methods at Fort Huachuca, Arizona
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
in differential correction has previously proven unreliable. The effectiveness of base data acquired through use of a second field unit as an on-site base station was compared with the use of CORS. The accuracy of data differentially corrected using base data...
ENSO and PDO related variability in seasonal range prediction for the Bolivian Altiplano region in South America
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
This study uses the methodology of some experiences in seasonal range prediction related to El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) in North America. Previous studies (e.g Garreaud and Aceituno 2001; Vuille...
Silage investigation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)
questions that do not seem to be fully and satisfactorily answered. A series of experiments were carried on by the Dairy Department of the Missouri Agricultural College during the winters of 1913-1914 and 1914-1915. The work for 1913-1914 was carried on by D...
Silage investigation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
Abstract derived from the Introduction and Literature sections of the thesis: Ensilage as defined by Webster is the material as it appears while being put into the silo. Immediately after the material is stored it begins ...
The amount of edible meat in the various cuts from animals of known life histories
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1909)
This series of experiments was undertaken with the thought of studying the composition of the different cuts of meat from the housekeeper's standpoint, to determine what cut of meat will furnish the most edible meat for a given amount of money....
Establishing pin oak reproduction in bottomland forests in southeastern Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
In pin oak (Quercus palustris Muenchh.) bottomland forests in southeast Missouri, we revisited clearcuts, shelterwood harvests, and controls within the Mingo Basin. Seventeen years later, we found significant changes, in both the change in basal...
Trade barriers to grain cooperatives in exporting
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1986)
The objective of this study was to determine if there were any barriers to grain cooperatives in exporting. Barriers are obstacles associated with the structure of the market. Data compiled to determine if any barriers ...
Quantifying suspended sediment loading in a mid-Missouri urban watershed using laser particle diffraction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
/water-quality stations were installed in a nested-scale watershed study design to capture differing land-use type influences on SSC. Mean SSCs were estimated to be 66.0, 70.0, and 86.0 [mu]l/l for the headwater (agricultural), suburban (mixed land-use), and urban sub...
