Basic dental health for older adults
(University of Missouri. Extension Division, 1993)
"Good oral hygiene and dental care is valuable to the health and well-being of older adults. Yet many older people have significant dental problems. Many of these problems could be removed or improved through simple care ...
Heating system maintenance (1993)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1993)
"Having your heating equipment serviced by a reputable heating specialist before the start of each heating season could reduce your fuel bill as much as 10 percent and could save you the discomfort and expense of equipment ...
Validation of X-Ray Fluorescence-Measured Swine Femur Lead Against Atomic Absorption Spectrometry
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2001)
The aim of this study was to apply the technique of 109Cd-based K-shell X-ray fluorescence (XRF) bone lead measurements to swine femurs and to validate the concentrations obtained therefrom against an independent chemical ...
A system for pond water purification
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1993)
"The purpose of this guide is to give information on collecting, storing and treating water from ponds for domestic use. Treated surface water may be the best solution for many Missourians."--First page
Ridge-till tips
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1993)
"Ridge-till, a tillage system involving scalping and planting on ridges built during cultivation of the previous year's crop, usually involves spring-planted row crops grown with a combination of herbicides and at least ...
Determination of trace elements levels in plasma from larvae in the course of baculoviral and bacterial infections by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
While a number of studies have examined the effect of infections on the trace elements status of mammals, not any similar study in insects are found. In this study, we used inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry ...
Determination of total selenium and seleno-amino acids in yeast and aquatic organisms by liquid chromatography and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The primary goal of this dissertation research was to develop methods for routine speciation analysis of selenium in tissues. A method for total selenium using on-line stable isotope dilution analysis with conventional ...
Conformational and Structural Determinations of Substituted Four and Five Membered Rings by Infrared, Raman, and Microwave Spectral Studies
(2014)
Studies of the structure and conformational stabilities of molecules have become
increasingly important due in part to advances in the fields of biochemistry and nanochemistry.
Specifically the conformation of organoamines ...
Understanding genomic evolution and segregation distortion in solanaceae : a COSII linkage map in Nicotiana
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Genetic linkage maps are excellent tools to investigate genomic evolution, genomic structure and quantitative trait loci. In our study, we created comparative linkage maps in a reciprocal cross between Nicotiana longiflora ...
Studies of ruminant digestion, ecology, and evolution
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
This thesis examines ruminant digestion, ecology, and evolution, particularly where they can improve livestock production systems. We performed an experiment that estimated ruminal in situ degradation parameter values of ...
Raman, Infrared and Microwave Spectra, Conformational Stability, R₀ Structural Parameters and Vibrational Assignments of Some Organoamines, Organophosphines, Alcohols And Substituted Four And Five Membered Rings
(2014)
with enthalpy difference relative to Tt for Tg of 79 ± 9 cm⁻¹ (0.9 ± 0.1 kJ/mol); for Gg of 91 ± 26 cm⁻¹ (1.08 ± 0.3 kJ/mol); for Gg' of 135 ± 21 cm⁻¹ (1.61 ± 0.2 kJ/mol); for Gt of 143 ± 11 cm⁻¹ (1.71 ± 0.1 kJ/mol). For 2-cyanoethylamine, the enthalpy...
Adsorption of water vapor by selected containment aerosols : chlorides and cement dust
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The macroscopic adsorption isotherms of water vapor on selected containment aerosols of a nuclear reactor such as cesium iodide, cesium chloride, ...
Genetic and nutritional effects on reproduction in lactating dairy cows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Good reproductive performance is a prerequisite for profitable pasture-based seasonal calving systems of milk production. The objective of this dissertation was to elucidate the physiological mechanisms contributing to ...
Inflationary Finance in a Simple Voting Model
(Department of Economics, 2001)
This paper is an attempt at answering the somewhat counterfactual question: if monetary policy was to be decided in the arena of public voting (that is not by independent central banks), then what kind of monetary policies ...
Missouri crop performance, 1993 : Winter wheat
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1993)
The objective of the Missouri Winter Wheat Performance Tests is to provide wheat growers in Missouri with a reliable, unbiased, up-to-date source of information that will permit valid comparisons among improved wheat ...
Mass and Metallicity of Five X-Ray-bright Galaxy Groups
(American Astronomical Society, 1999)
We present ASCA X-ray observations of a sample of Ðve groups selected from a cross-correlation of the ROSAT All-Sky Survey with the White et al. optical catalog of groups. These X-rayÈbright groups significantly increase ...
Arsenic adsorption onto iron-chitosan composite from drinking water
