A comprehensive web-based platform for multi-omics data-driven phenotype prediction and marker discovery
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
[EMBARGOED UNTIL 5/1/2024] The G2PDeep-v2 server is a comprehensive web-based platform powered by deep learning, providing phenotype prediction and markers discovery. Despite the availability of similar phenotype prediction applications, no web...
A comparison of soil characteristics in relation to success of a restored prairie
(2013)
The Department of Energy's Weldon Spring Site began as an ordinance site and later became a uranium processing facility. Remediation of hazardous waste resulted in an on-site disposal cell and approximately 150 surrounding ...
Sensory analysis of low fat strawberry ice creams prepared with different flavor chemicals and fat mimetics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
. FuraneolTM was perceived more strongly in full-fat ice cream, while cis-3-hexen-1-ol, [alpha]- ionone, [gamma]-undecalactone and ethyl-3-methyl-3-phenylglycidate were perceived more strongly in low-fat ice cream. However, ice creams with Simplesse(R...
Nested association mapping and accuracy of predicting genomic breeding value for agronomic and seed composition traits in three interspecific soybean populations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
, and PI522226). Field tests were conducted in Albany, Columbia, Novelty and Rock Port, Missouri for two years, 2016 and 2017, in an augmented incomplete block design with one replication in 2016 and two replications in 2017. The nested association mapping...
Merging technology development of trapped ion mobility spectrometry quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry with biological investigation of Medicago truncatularoot exudates
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] "New commercial ion mobility instrumentation has the potential to improve current analytical techniques, but developments need to be applicable to real-world problems...
Soil surface-seal measurement using high-resolution x-ray computed tomography (HRCT)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Rainfall on bare soil breaks soil aggregates, detaching particles, plugging pores and decreasing porosity in the top few mm of soil. This reduces hydraulic conductivity and increases runoff through a process known as surface ...
Evaluation of soy hulls as the principal ingredient in a beef cattle receiving ration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Adjusting cattle to grain based diets from predominately forage diets remains one of the production problems facing beef cattle producers. When cattle are introduced to grain based diets they have a tendency to experience ...
Data combining using mixtures of g-priors with application on county-level female breast cancer prevalence
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
scenarios in terms of the theoretical properties including biases, frequentist variances, and mean squared errors. In the first project, data combining of linear models with the classical mixtures of g-priors is investigated. We calculate and compare...
The biosystematics of the Lupinus sparsiflorus complex and allies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1971)
revised by Watson (1873). The next extensive work was that of C. P. Smith from 1917 to 1953 in which he published the names of many new taxa and recombinations. Periodically Smith contributed to various floras, but all of Smith's work was on a...
Tensile strength, shear strength, and effective stress for unsaturated sand
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
It is generally accepted in geotechnical engineering that non-cohesive materials such as sands exhibit no or negligible tensile strength. However, there is significant evidence that interparticle forces arising from capillary ...
An economic analysis of the agricultural development potential for Southern Honduras
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1975)
for various resources r which would provide guidance for making investment decisions; and (3) to derive policy recommendations for the purpose of agricultural development in Southern Honduras. A survey of 449 randomly selected sample farms, including 686...
Determining the efficacy of a biosensor to detect calpastatin, a meat tenderness indicator
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
An instrumental tenderness detection system used at the time of grading to sort beef carcasses on their predicted tenderness would be valuable for the beef industry. A biosensor to accurately predict calpastatin, the ...
A multi-configuration evaluation of the soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) in a mixed land use watershed in the central U.S.A.
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Distributed watershed hydrologic/water quality (H/WQ) models are ubiquitous tools for watershed management. Despite advancements, there remain impediments for end-users. This study presents a practical framework for use ...
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 used in transferring genes...
Evaluating and improving corn nitrogen fertilizer recommendation tools across the U.S. Midwest
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
and environmental impact of these tools, 3) improve N recommendation tools by integrating soil and weather information, and 4) improve N recommendation tools by combing multiple tools. The evaluation was conducted on 49 N response trials that spanned eight states...
Variability of soil hydraulic properties and estimation of plant-available water on claypan-soil landscapes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Soil hydraulic properties and plant-available water (PAW) capacity are critical properties in evaluating land management and soil productivity. This study investigated...
Knowledge discovery with recommenders for big data management in science and engineering communities
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
in networking performance monitoring (e.g., perfSONAR deployments), it is hard to pinpoint the root-cause analysis in a multi-domain context. To solve this problem, we define a "social plane" concept that relies on recommendation schemes to share diagnosis...
Development of an amenable system for site-specific addition to a maize chromosome
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
P and attB sites, which are acted upon by _C31 Integrase. The amendment constructs contain cargo and a promoterless selectable marker which, upon successful recombination with the target site, restores expression of the selectable marker. Successful...
