Global bifurcation and stability of solitary waves in two-layer water
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
The present work concerns two mathematical problems on wave in a stratified body of water governed by the incompressible Euler equations. In the first part, we present a large-amplitude existence theory for two-dimensional solitary waves by means...
Cover crop effects on corn plant water uptake and soil health
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
, are used for soil quality improvement. However, the effects of CC on water use of the following corn (Zea mays L.) crop is not yet studied. Also, CC effects on soil water availability is yet inconclusive. Although CC are believed to play a major role...
A therapist survey of evidence-based practices in publicly funded youth mental health
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
, few studies have examined use of specific treatment strategies, whether evidence-based or not, in these settings. In a statewide survey of therapists providing youth MH care funded by Medicaid and the State Child Health Insurance Program (S-CHIP), 780...
Anisotropic organic materials : ferroelectric crystals and spin-polarized radicals
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadiene is analyzed with various methods. Toward quasienantiomeric non-linear crystals, 1- methyl-1,3,6-triphenyl-7-(E-2-phenylpropenyl)-1,2-dihydronaphthalene is probed in molecular interactions, synthesis, and chiral separation. In Chapter...
Meretites' Faience Ushebtis: An Analysis and Determination of their Production in a Late Period or Ptolemaic Workshop
(2010)
The hundreds of faience shabtis in an individual Late Period burial demanded a significant production effort within a workshop. Petrie's discovery of thousands of molds for small faience objects in Amarna (1891-92) and Memphis (1908-13) led...
