Pumps and Watering Systems for Managed Beef Grazing (2007)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2007)
, cattle on pasture are usually watered from surface sources in Missouri. Keeping the animals from entering the water source will generally maintain higher water quality and result in better livestock production....
Pumps and Watering Systems for Managed Beef Grazing (2000)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2000)
, cattle on pasture are usually watered from surface sources in Missouri. Keeping the animals from entering the water source will generally maintain higher water quality and result in better livestock production....
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 ...
Polyacrylamide amendment for erosion and runoff control on soils of differing characteristics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
The use of anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) as a soil amendment is an emerging conservation practice. However, guidelines have not been developed with considerations of soil properties and topographic characteristics. The ...
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 ...
Development and application of vegetative buffer width modeling using geographic information systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
of performance could potentially require wider or narrower buffer widths in order to meet certain stormwater management criteria. This method was successfully demonstrated within the LaBarque Creek watershed located southwest of St. Louis, Missouri for three...
A formal evaluation of storm type versus storm motion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
, and subsequently, forecast for motion. This publication focuses on identifying the ambient environmental characteristics typical of several types of severe convective storms. Three types of severe convective storms are examined: supercell, linear, and multicell...
Development of a multispectral sensor for crop canopy temperature measurement
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
The Multispectral System for Imaging of a Crop Canopy (MSICC) that combines a miniature long wavelength infrared (LWIR) camera with a visible camera was developed to capture a field of view and derive a plant specific ...
Arsenic rejection by membrane processes : model development and application
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This study investigated the rejection of arsenic by several nanofiltration and inorganic clay membranes. Laboratory-scale experiments were conducted using both dead...
Undergraduate catalog, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2001-03
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2001)
Developmental programming by xenoestrogens
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Xenoestrogens (XE) are chemicals in the environment that mimic the body's natural steroidal estrogens. Developmental exposure to XE may interfere with normal hormonal signaling...
Development and validation of standardized sampling protocols for assessing freshwater mussel populations in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
step in assessing populations. We surveyed 14 sites in the Meramec River Basin in East-central Missouri to determine the effectiveness of visual sampling methods and to determine the effects of habitat variability on the effectiveness of these methods...
The synthesis and characterization of 1,1'-disubstituted ferrocene imine Schiff base ligand systems for use as potential environmental heavy metal cationic sensors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
through three means: proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). While a working universal heavy metal sensor was not achieved during this research project, it advanced the progress...
High valent uranium dioxo and imido complexes : synthesis and structure
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
. Whereas high oxidation state ions dominate environmental speciation, the corresponding high-valent organometallics are rare. These hexa- and pentavalent ions are often stabilized by the isoelectronic oxo or imido ligands, which result in robust molecular...
An empirical approach to exploring the role of selective incentives in mitigating the free rider problem
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The concept of free riding has been recognized as a challenge facing collective action organizations for centuries. However, the term free riding has been used to describe a range of alternative problematic actions and ...
The culture wars & political polarization in perspective : why polarization and its perturbations are a persistant [i.e., persistent] puzzle in political science
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Political polarization in the American electorate has received a great deal of attention in recent years with most of the research focusing on social issues and their impact on electoral outcomes. However, scant attention ...
