Dry milling characteristics and polyphenolic contents of adapted colored corn varieties and polyphenol extraction by combining deep eutectic solvents and ultrasound
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
breeding program at the University of Missouri and their milling coproducts were ascertained and compared with a commercial purple corn. With mean large grits yield of 22.98 percent (db), colored varieties had a dominant softer endosperm composition...
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 ...
Proceedings of the Symposium on Advances in Vineyard Pest Management (2010)
(University of Missouri Extension, 2010)
spot, and bunch rot. Grape growers were taught ways to manage grape phylloxera, grape berry moth and Japanese beetles, and warned of emerging viruslike diseases found on some grapevine varieties in Missouri. In addition, a detailed plan for developing...
Forest harvest effects on soil chemical properties and nutrient concentrations in Ozark Highland soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Mixed hardwood systems of the Missouri Ozark Forest Ecosystem Project are harvested using clearcutting (CC) and single-tree selection (STS) regeneration methods. This work indicates possible effects of regeneration method on surface soil nutrient...
CVM news, 2012
(University of Missouri--Columbia. College of Veterinary Medicine, 2012)
2012 compilation of news and events articles published by the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine....
Interspecific interactions between olive trees and grapevines in vineyard agroforestry systems in an arid climate region
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
. This thesis summarizes the existing body of knowledge surrounding vineyard agroforestry systems in an extensive literature review, and also contributes new research about olive tree and wine grape vineyard agroforestry systems in an arid and irrigated grape...
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 ...
Characterization of black walnut (Juglans nigra) cultivars for agroforestry systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
The identification of complementary species combinations will accelerate the expansion of temperate agroforestry. Since the mid-19th century, European timber plantations have taken advantage of the late-leafing habit of ...
Modeling spatio-temporal data using a Bayesian probabilistic cellular automata framework
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
Regularly gridded, or cellular, discrete-valued spatio-temporal data are common in many application areas. Such data can be considered from many perspectives, including deterministic or stochastic cellular automata, where ...
Drainage water management practices affect water quality, soil properties, and crop production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
Several agricultural management practices such as terrace construction, cover crops (CC), drainage water recycling (DWR), free drainage (FD), and 4R nitrogen (N) management can influence water quality, soil properties, and crop production...
Modeling the financial impact of management decisions on loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Located primarily in the southeastern United States, Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) is a variety of Southern yellow pine that is often planted by non-industrial private landowners seeking a beneficial long-term investment ...
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 ...
Hydrodynamic characteristics and capillary-assisted heat transfer enhancement of non-condensing/condensing two-phase flows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
. An experimentally-validated analytical method was also presented for the geometrical correction of the optically-distorted objects in cylindrical tubes that is applicable to geometrical measurements (e.g., liquid-gas interfaces, solid particles, gas bubbles, void...
Tracing cat domestication through population genetics and capturing genotype-by environment interactions in US beef cattle genomic predictions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Cat domestication initiated as a symbiotic relationship between wildcats and the peoples of developing agrarian societies in the Fertile Crescent. To refine the sites of cat domestication, over 1,000 random-bred cats of ...
