A production theory application to modeling Korean beef import demand
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This research assesses the import demand for beef in the Korean market by source of origins including domestically produced beef. An indirect translog ...
Effect of plagioclase crystallization on liquid and magma viscosity in the Anorthite-diopside-dorsterite-quartz system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
SiO2 (CMAS) glasses were synthesized as analogs for dacitic and basaltic lavas. Liquid viscosities were measured between 101 and 1013 Pa s, over the temperature range of approximately 1600 to 700⁰C, using concentric cylinder ...
Mechanisms of clostridial toxin binding and translocation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
% of clostridial species that are highly pathogenic. The seven serotypes of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNTs A-G) and tetanus neurotoxin (TeNT) are the causative agents of the paralytic diseases botulism and tetanus, respectively. Entry of toxins into neurons...
Implementation of a fuzzy rule-based decision support system for the immunohistochemical diagnosis of small B-cell lymphomas
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Integrating the massive amount of new genomic information into medical practice will require new approaches to knowledge management. This need is particularly acute in surgical pathology where the evaluation of diagnostic ...
Reliability-based versus allowable stress design of foundations for the Center for Missouri Studies building
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Uncertainty in design parameters is inherent to the field of geotechnical engineering. Allowable stress design has conventionally been used for foundation design and accounts for uncertainty in geotechnical parameters and ...
A method for the determination of small amounts of chlorine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1919)
Text from page 3: "In this paper, the authors, in determining the amount of occluded barium chloride in barium sulphate precipitated in the usual manner made use of the foregoing method."
Studies of the chemistry of Tröger's base, cyclopentadienones, and 2,1-benzothiazines
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The sequential alkylation of Tröger's base was developed for the synthesis of symmetric dialkylation analogs. The products from this reaction were ...
Normal growth of dairy heifers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
The Federal Office of Farm Management reports (March, 1914) that there are 21,749,651 dairy cows in the United States. Considering the average productive life to be six of seven years, it is evident that 3,000,000 to ...
Investigation of genes involved in somatic embryogenesis and plant-Agrobacterium interactions through transcriptional profiling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Plant genetic engineering relies on the ability to transmit and express cloned DNA sequences in plant cells (transformation) as well as the capacity for the cells carrying this DNA to undergo division and differentiation ...
A combined analytical and experimental approach for prediction of properties of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) parts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a technique used to build rapid prototypes out of thermoplastic materials. Printing technology continues to mature from a rapid prototyping process to a rapid manufacturing technique, ...
Response of insect pest and beneficial species to the timing and severity of dicamba injury in soybean
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
corresponding to 1/10th, 1/100th, 1/1,000th, and 1/10,000th of the labeled used rate (560 g ae ha-1) at either the V3 or R1 stage of growth. In this study, dicamba doses associated with vapor drift resulted in increased visitation to soybean from bean leaf...
Influence of Silane Penetrating Sealer on Deicer Scaling and Absorption of Concrete Highway Pavement
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)
Concrete pavements generally show excellent performance; however, some have
shown premature joint degradation at young age in recent years. There are many causes
of premature deterioration including poor mix designs, ...
Study of the chemistry of 2,1-benzothiazines and toward the total synthesis of elisapterosin B
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Using enantiomerically pure benzothiazines as templates, enantiomerically pure cyclobutanes were prepared. Such compounds are potentially interesting ...
Development of selective high-affinity fluorescent sensors for imaging neurotransmitters and application in cells and tissue
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Herein, we develop a series of selective fluorescent sensors based on a quinolone core designed to image neurotransmitters catecholamines, serotonin and glutamate. Included are the main design strategy, synthesis, spectroscopic ...
Load and resistance factor design of drilled shafts subjected to lateral loading at service limit state
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Since 2007, the American Association of State Highway Administration Officials (AASHTO) has made utilization of Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) mandatory on all federally-funded new bridge projects (AASHTO, 2007). ...
The effects of various planes of nutrition upon the cost of maintenance, reproduction, and development of beef cows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
The frequency with which valuable animals reproduce themselves has always been a factor of economic importance in the pure bred cattle business. Great economic changes during the last few years have made this an important ...
Characterization of resistance to tombusvirus in nicotiana species
