Biology and management of cut-leaved Teasel (Dipsacus laciniatus L.) in central Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Cut-leaved teasel is a biennial invasive weed that grows along roadsides and low disturbed areas. This research was to determine growth characteristics, herbicide efficacy, and seed production of teasel. Growth characteristics ...
Estimates of correlation between estrus behavior and estradiol concentrations during estrus
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Estrus traits have economic value in dairy production systems and can potentially be incorporated into genomic selection. Three studies were performed to further understand selection responses. Study one and two explored ...
Estimating Water Quality, Air Quality, and Soil Carbon Benefits of the Conservation Reserve Program
(Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) at the University of Missouri-Columbia, 2007-01)
This report estimates how field and buffer practices affect the amount of soil and nutrients leaving the field.
Paternal effects on pre-implantation embryo development in cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
cells in blastocysts did not differ between sire performance groups. RNA-Seq on 4-cell embryos identified 687, and 1411 genes with increased expression in HP and LP sires, respectively. Genes with increased expression in HP sires were involved in m...
Analysis of radio communication towers subjected to wind, ice and seismic loadings
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The MoDOT radio communication tower network was created in the 1950s and 1960s. There is a need to assess the condition of the towers in the network and also to determine if they are up to date with current codes. A condition ...
Development and evaluation of a site stormwater analysis calculator intended for the State of Missouri utilzing regional best management practices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
The Site Stormwater with Best Management Practices (BMPs) Analysis Calculator was created to be utilized in the State of Missouri for developing or re- developing property. Simplistic and conservative stormwater evaluations utilizing regional...
Development of a four-wheeled robotic platform for autonomous inspection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] There is a significant need of developing advanced robots to mitigate the time-consuming and labor-intensive maintenance and examination of the heat exchanger tubes in power...
Forest adaptation and transition in the eastern united states under climate change : a forest landscape modeling method
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Forest management is rapidly shifting in focus to address the adaptive capacity of forests under uncertain future climates. Managers and researchers often utilize models to proactively develop strategies for forest adaptation ...
Genetic diversity and distribution of the ringed salamander (ambystoma annulatum) across multiple spatial scales
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
that correspond to watershed boundaries. Within each cluster, I found evidence for decreased gene flow in recent generations, possibly due to the extensive timber harvest and land conversion of the CIH post European settlement. Over smaller spatial scales, I found...
Sylview: a visualization system for forest management
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
In the field of forestry, the output of forest growth models provide a wealth of detailed information that can often be difficult to analyze and perceive due to presentation either as plain text summary tables or static ...
Population history at the microscale : craniometrics of the Cayo Santiago macaques
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Being able to understand the effects of relatedness on adult cranial morphology has implications for inferring population histories, and for informing us about the influence of social behaviors on these patterns of population ...
Gene expression profiling of bovine ovarian follicular selection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Lack of, or abnormal, ovarian follicular development is a major factor associated with impaired fertility in mammals. However, development of new treatments is limited by our poor understanding of ovarian follicular ...
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 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...
Comparison of left 4th and 5th intercostal space thoracotomy for open-chest cardiopulmonary resuscitation in dogs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Open-chest cardiopulmonary resuscitation (OC-CPR) is indicated in certain cardiopulmonary arrest situations such as thoracic trauma. Laboratory research and clinical studies in human medicine have established the superiority ...
Assemblage structure and shallow-water habitat use by small-bodied fishes at lower Missouri River sandbars
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Populations of many native big-river fishes have declined since channelization and flow regulation contributed to losses of shallow-water habitat (SWH) on lower Missouri River (LMOR). Existing point and wing-dike sandbars represent a potentially...
