Structure of an antigen-binding fragment bound to stem-loop DNA and crystallization of recombinant haemophilus influenzae e(P4) acid phosphatase
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
DNA-1 and 11F8 are anti-ss DNA antibodies derived from autoimmune lupus-prone mice. They are very similar to each other in terms of CDR sequence and preference for binding T-rich ss DNA. G1-17 is an oligonucleotide identified by in vitro selection...
Resource selection and space use of the critically endangered Tuamotu Kingfisher (Todiramphus gambieri)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
I investigated the ecological requirements of the critically endangered Tuamotu Kingfisher (Todiramphus gambieri), with the intent to provide management recommendations that could help prevent its extinction. The species ...
Agroforestry buffer, biomass crop, and grain crop effects on soil quality and soil water use
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Soil degradation, impaired water quality, and reduced soil organic carbon have become major concerns in the management of degraded claypan soils with their associated ecological...
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...
Delineation of critical management areas at plot, field, and watershed scales for claypan soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
and water quality and given rise to non-point source pollutants. The claypan soil region of Missouri has a high runoff potential that increases the possibility of transport of non-point source pollutants to downstream sites. The Agricultural Policy...
Quantifying neonicotinoid concentrations in Missouri wetlands, their driving factors, and the potential effects on the reliant avian community
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
been proposed as indicator taxa as they are reliant on insect food reserves and have recently experienced population declines. Thus, we developed two studies in floodplain wetlands to quantify neonicotinoids in Missouri wetlands and potential effects...
Rhizobacteria associated with glyphosate-resistant soybean (Glycine Max)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The research was conducted to examine the impact of GR soybean treated with glyphosate on rhizobacterial activities involved in IAA production and soil C and N mineralization in different soil management systems; to determine ...
Phytase : anatomy of an invisible win-win technology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
the farmer's knowledge and stated use of phytase using data from a spring 2006 of Missouri and Iowa poultry and livestock farmers. Responses to a number of questions in this survey reveal that knowledge of this win-win innovation is low. It also shows...
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 ...
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 ...
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...
Prairie stream ecology : temporal and spatial patterns of macroinvertebrates
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
patches to enable recolonization of streams after disturbance. Leptophlebia konza Burian was thought to be restricted to its type locality of Konza Prairie, Kansas; however, a population was discovered at Hi Lonesome Prairie in Missouri during an extensive...
Comparing the diversity, geographic distribution, and intraspecific variation of subterranean termites (Reticulitermes: Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) occuring in woodlands and urban environments of Missouri using morphology and 16s mtDNA
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
. In urban environments they feed upon dead wood, and therefore infest and destroy man-made wooden structures. Missouri is considered to have a moderate risk for termite infestations when compared with the states of the southeast part of the country. Despite...
Effects of self-explanation as causal mechanism elicitation methodology on causal reasoning task performance
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
People have always tried to find explanations for how and why things happen to and around them. While understanding causality is fundamental for both science and everyday life, researchers found that people have a multitude ...
