MU Extension District Option Manual (2014)
(University of Missouri--Columbia Extension Division, 2014)
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 ...
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...
Evaluating and improving corn nitrogen fertilizer recommendation tools across the U.S. Midwest
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Determining which corn (Zea mays L.) nitrogen (N) recommendation tools best predict the economically optimal N rate (EONR) would be valuable for maximizing profits and minimizing environmental consequences. The objectives ...
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...
Effects of SI administration staffing and support on SI program outcomes in higher education
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Supplemental Instruction (SI) is an internationally recognized learning assistance program used in higher education to support traditionally challenging classes by offering regularly scheduled, peer-led, group study sessions ...
Development of an amenable system for site-specific addition to a maize chromosome
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Currently, transgenic maize is produced by random integration of a transgenes into the plant. This works for single genes, but not as well for multiple traits. Identifying plants that contain several transgenes becomes a ...
Comparative analysis of aquatic insect, amphipod, and isopod community composition along environmental gradients in rheocrene spring systems of Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Spring systems in Missouri harbor a unique biota and provide critical initial discharge from subterranean aquifers to streams. However, little research has been conducted on the crenobiology or ecology in these systems. In this study, aquatic insect...

Party power in the U.S. house : discharge petitions, agenda control, and conditional party government
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
In the study of legislatures, the effect of parties on legislative organization and behavior is generally considered under the broad precepts of two party-based theories: conditional party government theory (CPG) and party ...
Four essays in empirical corporate finance and financial markets : social captial, corporate risk-taking, external financing, and financial market development
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
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...
Exploring elementary student energy literacy outcomes in the outdoor classroom : a comparative study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Environmental issues such as global warming, air and water pollution, and excessive consumption of fossil fuels are the challenging problems that endanger the future of our planet and, consequently, humankind. These problems ...
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 relationship between high school sport participation and subsequent health behaviors of college young adults
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Researchers have gathered irrefutable evidence substantiating that the increase in childhood obesity rates is primarily due to environmental and lifestyle factors such as (a...
