Planting depth within-field soil variability effects on corn stand establishment and yield
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
by changing planting depth, but individual plant performance revealed trends based on growing season, soil texture, and planting depth. On the claypan landscape investigation, stand establishment showed contrasting trends impacted by warm and cool growing...
Melanoma
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2011)
This issue of eMedRef provides information to clinicians on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapeutics of melanoma.
Analysis of the parallel seismic method for foundation reuse
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
The focus of this thesis is the application of the Parallel Seismic method to determine the depths of unknown foundations. The method involves exciting stress waves in the pile foundations from impacts on the superstructure and recording waves...
Performance tests on asphalt mixtures at multiple temperatures and development of pavement temperature maps
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
in the coldest areas, whereas rutting is a pavement damage more characteristic of warmer parts of the country. Relevant literature review has suggested that asphalt materials need to be characterized based on environmental and loading conditions at which mixtures...
Agroforestry buffer, biomass crop, and grain crop effects on soil quality and soil water use
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
the impacts of perennial vegetation practices and soil depth on soil water dynamics as compared to row crop system; (iv) to evaluate the effects of long-term perennial management and cropping systems, landscape positions, and the distance from the base of a...
Experimental investigation of the Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) method for estimating depth of bedrock in Central Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
, the bedrock depth predictions were unreliable with errors as large 58 percent. Therefore, in practice, the HVSR relationship developed in this study should only be used at sites where shale is known to be absent, based on supplemental information. The HVSR...
Assessment of Seismic Hazards along the Northern Gulf of Aqaba
(2014-09-26)
the tectonically active Dead Sea transform fault (DST) that is the source of most of the major historical earthquakes in the region. The largest twentieth century earthquake on the DST, the magnitude Mw 7.2 Nuweiba earthquake of November 22, 1995, caused damage...
Effects of prescribed fire on forest soil properties in the Ozark Highlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
soil bulk density was measured at the 0-10, 10-20, and 20-30 cm depths before fire, and bulk density at the 0-10 cm depth was re-sampled two years post-burn. There was no change in bulk density of the whole soil and the fine soil fraction. Mineral soil...
Characterization of soybean rooting depth in response to different environmental conditions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
root rooting depths and root elongation rates were selected based on greenhouse experiment and grown under rainfed field conditions. The core break method was used to assess root distributions of these genotypes in two years. The main goals...
Assessment of HEC-18 scour equations for bottomless culverts based on Kansas field data
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012)
One of the main causes of bridge failure is scour at the abutments or piers. Scour is
caused by increased velocities of water through bridge openings. Sediment is carried away
from the foundations by high flows causing ...
Impact of Penetrating Sealers and Internally Mixed Hydrophobic Compounds on Durability of Concrete
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)
Durability of concrete is greatly impacted by infiltration of water into its pores.
Utilizing penetrating sealers can help improve the concrete’s durability. Penetrating sealers
come in a variety of forms, but the most ...
Evidence-Based Practice Asthma Education in Primary Care
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
Asthma affects more than 300 million people across the globe. The financial burden
impacts individuals and their families as well as communities and health care systems. Although
asthma education is a fundamental ...
Longitudinal, naturalistic study of training and support for implementation of evidence-based youth mental health practices among community providers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
support in evidence-based practices (EBPs). To address this need, the current study describes the reach and impact of a county-wide youth MH initiative aimed at increasing youths' and families' access to effective youth MH services by providing free EBP...
Estimating at-vessel mortality rates of shortfin mako sharks caught in the US pelagic longline fishery and examining environmental drivers of their depth use in the North Atlantic Ocean
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
sharks in two regions of the US Atlantic pelagic longline fishery, the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) and the Western North Atlantic (WNA), and AVM was found to be higher in the GOM (32.4 percent, 95 percent CI: 29.5 - 35.4 percent) and 25.7 percent (95 percent CI...
Effect of Interactive Education on Self-foot Exams in Type 2 Diabetes
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)
In the United States, 30 million individuals are affected by type 2 diabetes, with all at risk for
complications and decreased quality of life. Diabetic foot ulcers and amputations cost $4.9 billion
annually in the ...
A study of the relation of type and conformation to production in dairy cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)
The subject of dairy type and conformation is a question of vital importance to all breeders and students of dairy cattle. It is a well-known fact that from the standpoint of milk production there is no method of ascertaining ...
Characterization of "t-z" model design parameters for augered cast-in-place piles using field load test data
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-08-24)
With the increasing use of augered cast-in-place piles in new construction, it is important that proper design parameters be incorporated when evaluating pile capacity and performance using reliability-based design methods. This paper focuses...
Brass Performance Practices in the Sixteenth Century
(1989)
This paper will focus on the performance practices
involving the brass instruments in the sixteenth century. The
research involved presents an even greater difficulty. There are
two reasons for this: first, there is ...
