Recent discussions on environmental issues, such as global climate change, implicates many of the wider processes studied by scholars in the management sciences. As a result, there has been considerable debate regarding the boundary conditions...
Impact of woody biomass production and biopower generation on US forests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
This dissertation presents a study of environmental impact of woody biomass production and consumption on the eastern US forests. The first part is concerned with the impact of the exponential growth in trading of US pelletized wood fibers triggered...
Genome scan in commercial angus cattle for quantitative trait loci influencing growth, carcass, and reproductive traits
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Experimental designs historically used for quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping in cattle have captured a limited number of parental chromosomes and therefore have only detected the few heterozygous QTL within these ...
A custom oligonucleotide microarray analysis as a tool for dissecting soybean-bradyrhizobium japonicum nodule senescence
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Soybean root nodules are symbiotic organs housing Bradyrhizobium japonicum, a soil bacterium that reduces atmospheric nitrogen to ammonium. The bacterium receives carbon...
The synthesis and characterization of 1,1'-disubstituted ferrocene imine Schiff base ligand systems for use as potential environmental heavy metal cationic sensors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
through three means: proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). While a working universal heavy metal sensor was not achieved during this research project, it advanced the progress...
