First quantitative trait loci detected for bearing habit and nut quality traits in eastern black walnut (Juglans nigra L.)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
. First, literature is reviewed related to the initial selection efforts and foundation of the eastern black walnut breeding program at the University of Missouri Center for Agroforestry, while also examining advances in genetics, metabolomics...
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...
Regeneration of soil microbial, physical, and chemical properties in restored bottomland hardwood forest wetlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
(WRP)] was initiated with the goal of reducing the loss of wetlands and restoring wetlands previously converted to agricultural land use. Despite the importance of preserving and restoring wetlands, the benefits of wetland restoration have not been well...
Faculty diversity and the starting salaries of business students
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
The purpose of this study was to understand if undergraduate business students' experience in a collegiate learning environment that includes interaction with a racially diverse faculty allows them to realize higher starting ...
Enhancing efficacy, performance, and applicability of additive food manufacturing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
changes (e.g., shape morphing, color change) of a 3D-printed product after exposure to a stimulus (e.g., pH change, water, heat). Successful adoption of this novel AM technology needs substantial work in selecting appropriate materials, creating...
The influence of host genetics, virome, and gut microbiota transfer methods in mouse model reproducibility
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Gut microbiome (GM), the complex community that combines all bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi located in the gut of human or animal, plays a significant role in host health and disease. Animal model are widely used ...
Nanofibrillation of lignocellulosic biomass into lignin-containing nanocellulose for 3D printing and antimicrobial applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Lignin-containing nanocellulose (LNC) has become an emerging subcategory of nanocellulose. Compared toedtraditional pure nanocellulose, LNC contains lignin and hemicellulose that are not fully removed from original ...
Involvement of aberrant chromosome architecture and locus-specific vulnerability to DNA methylation epimutations in bovine large offspring syndrome
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
and transcriptome project in which samples from LOS and BWS will be analyzed together to further shed light into the etiology of these syndromes, knowledge that will equally help Agriculture and Biomedicine. I anticipate submitting this manuscript for peer review...
Physical and sensory analysis of soy-based ice cream formulated with high oleic low linolenic soybean oil
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Due to increased health awareness of dietary fats, consumers are demanding products with healthier oils. A diet high in oleic acid, a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid, has been linked to a reduced risk of coronary heart ...
Top-soil root architecture characteristics of obsolete and modern soybean cultivars and shoot and seed nutrient contents
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI--COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Soybean (Glycine max Merr.) is one of the most important cash crops worldwide. It is widely used to produce oil and protein for food and animal feed. Soybean grain...
Statistical methods to deflect allele specific expression, alterations of allele specific expression and differential expression
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology has facilitated the recent development of RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), which is a novel mapping and quantifying method for transcriptomes. By RNA-seq, one can measure ...
Essays on machine learning applications in economics : causal inference and prediction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
in the curriculum adoption application. As an extension to the existing studies on how curriculum materials affect student achievement, my work compares the results of DML, kernel matching, and ordinary least squares (OLS). In my study, the DML estimators avoid...
Monitoring of an urban level spreader as part of the collaborative adaptive management process
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Irregular flows, such as the high flows caused by stormwater runoff after a rain event are a major cause of stream impairment in urbanized watersheds. The Hinkson Creek CAM (Collaborative Adaptive Management) approach is ...
