Determinants of Beef and Pork Brand Equity
(2003-11)
A set of consumer-level characteristic demand models were estimated to determine the level of brand equity for pork and beef meat cuts. Results indicate that brand premiums and discounts vary by private, national, and store ...
A systematic framework to improve knowledge management through information technology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Organizations rely on their IT infrastructure to perform on a daily basis, and a constant debate on whether the IT tools used are the appropriate ones to achieve their strategic planning objectives is always present. Many ...
Gas sorption in engineered carbon nanospaces
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
as high-capacity storage materials for natural gas (methane) and molecular hydrogen. The carbons have surface areas of up to 3500 m[2]/g, porosities of up to 0.8. Extensive characterizations of the surface and pore structure of samples were performed...
Crop Basis Patterns in the Presence of Spatial Competition and Government Intervention
(2002-05)
This study analyzes the effect of the Loan Deficiency Payment (LDP) program, established under the Federal Agriculture Improvement Reform (FAIR) act of 1996, on corn and soybean basis pattern patterns in Missouri. Additionally, ...
Polyacrylamide amendment for erosion and runoff control on soils of differing characteristics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
material was packed to a bulk density of 1.3 Mg m[superscript -3] (81 lb ft[superscript -3]) in soil test beds subjected to a 61-mm h[superscript -1] (2.4-in hr[superscript -1]) simulated rainfall with a kinetic energy (KE) of 1.5 kJ m[superscript-2] h...
Laser target triggering of gas switches
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
than 1 mJ of laser energy with both 1064 and 266 nm wavelength laser pulses. Findings will be used in the design of switches for LTD-based pulsed power accelerators....
Assemblage structure and shallow-water habitat use by small-bodied fishes at lower Missouri River sandbars
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
important source of SWH to fishes during early ontogeny within the main channel of LMOR. Small-bodied fishes were sampled using pre-positioned electrofishing devices from 0.0-0.5 m water depths adjacent to four point and four wing-dike sandbars on LMOR...
Middle and late woodland period cultural transmission, residential mobility, and aggregation in the deep South
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
This research attempts to reconstruct the extent of prehistoric human interaction within the lower Chattahoochee-Apalachicola River valley and neighboring Gulf Coast for the period spanning 200 B.C. to A.D. 1000. Using ...
