Laboratory analysis of manure (2000)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2000)
To make efficient use of fertilizer nutrients in manure, nutrient levels must be determined by laboratory analysis. This publication outlines methods for obtaining and interpreting laboratory analyses of manure
Establishment of native plant species for livestock forage in silvopasture systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
the cool season grasses. All remaining forages were no-till drilled each winter prior to the growing season. Environmental (PAR, ambient temperature, soil water content), plant community composition, herbage accumulation, and forage quality data were...
Development and evaluation of a site stormwater analysis calculator intended for the State of Missouri utilzing regional best management practices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
The Site Stormwater with Best Management Practices (BMPs) Analysis Calculator was created to be utilized in the State of Missouri for developing or re- developing property. Simplistic and conservative stormwater evaluations utilizing regional...
Three essays on the economics of pesticide use
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Pesticides primarily benefit humans in terms of protection of food production, prevention of diseases, and weed control, but also potentially harm people and the environment. Given increasing current interest in human health and environmental...
Studies of ruminant digestion, ecology, and evolution
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
This thesis examines ruminant digestion, ecology, and evolution, particularly where they can improve livestock production systems. We performed an experiment that estimated ruminal in situ degradation parameter values of ...
Adoption of nutrient management practices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Off-farm income has recently been incorporated into the analysis of technology adoption, due to its increasing share in total farm household income in the U.S. Previous studies, however, found inconsistent results with ...
Low strength wastewater treatment using emerging anaerobic treatment processes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Anaerobic treatment is a promising and energy saving process for low-strength wastewater treatment. Roles of half saturation constant (Ks) and maximum specific growth rate (umax...
Experimental study of localization in sensor networks and design of adaptive localization algorithms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] We design an experimental framework to evaluate localization methods for sensor networks. We use this framework to evaluate three existing localization approaches: Ad...
Computational studies of gases adsorbed on graphene-like materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Nanoporous activated carbons generate interest for their gas storage and separation potential. Generally, adsorbents are assumed rigid, even though they are formed by feeble quasi-2D flakes of graphene. In 2019, Schaeperkoetter ...
Bioremediation of atrazine and its metabolites using a novel Bacillus thuringiensis spore-based enzyme display system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
metabolites to less toxic metabolite. The environmental risk of applying the B. thuringiensis spore display system in the field was also investigated. Our findings showed that the AtzA-bearing spore exhibited enhanced enzymatic activity and stability and less...
The effects of temperature and admixture handling on lipid emulsion stability in centrally administered veterinary parenteral nutrition (PN) admixtures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
This research centered on veterinary parenteral nutrition (PN) admixtures which are mixtures of amino acids, dextrose, and lipid emulsions designed for the intravenous provision of nutrition to small animal patients. ...
From the lab bench to the fuel tank : development and analysis of novel adsorbents for hydrogen and natural gas storage
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Hydrogen and natural gas offer a promising avenue towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector; however, storage poses a non-trivial challenge, with current systems requiring prohibitively large ...
Mizzou Nursing, 2008 Fall
(University of Missouri -- Columbia. School of Nursing., 2008)
Copper (I) coordination networks synthesized with solid-solid reactions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
The use of solid-solid reactions in the development of one-, two-, and three dimensional Cu(I) coordination networks are discussed. The solid-solid reactions were monitored by a variety of instrumental techniques to achieve ...
An evaluation of pre- and post-timber harvest water quality in low-order streams in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Missouri Department of Conservation's (MDC) best management practices (BMPs) for Regenerative Oak Clear Cutting (ROCC) practice was evaluated on effectiveness to preserve downstream water quality. Fifteen sites, located on MDC lands in Shannon...
Wildlife response to spatial and temporal changes in forest habitat
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
A common goal in land-management planning is to describe the relationship between management actions, vegetation and wildlife habitat conditions for large landscapes. Achieving this goal can be challenging because ecological ...
From service design to delivery : integrating marketing and operations in the service unit
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Marketing and operations researchers approach services with widely divergent paradigms, focusing on different routes to success. These different approaches often cause these researchers to come to opposing conclusions and ...
Purification and characterization of A[beta] and probing the interactions between myricetin and A[beta] using various spectroscopic methods
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Worldwide, millions of people suffer from symptoms of memory loss and confusion associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Mounting evidence suggests a close relationship between...
Ammonia elimination from protonated nucleobases
