"Sand dredging is a common sight on the Missouri River. This process is used to collect sand and gravel for construction work. This is done using specialized boats that suck up matter from the bed of the Missouri River to the boat, where...

, and while much of it is disposed of properly, some of it still ends up in the waterways, polluting the water and endangering animals. It's hard to believe that trash can be such a huge problem for a river as long as the Missouri River."--Page 1....

Mussels were found in Missouri in 1991 in the Mississippi River. By 1999 they spread to the Missouri River near Sioux City, Iowa. They have also been found in the lower Meramec River and the Osage River. They are spreading throughout lakes in Missouri too...

were also stocked in various other locations, such as sewage treatment facilities, for the same reasons. The fish escaped these impoundments during flood events, and were introduced into the free-flowing rivers, such as the Missouri River, where...

"Mountain snowmelt is one of the primary sources that feeds the Missouri River, which historically caused significant flooding. After the Missouri River flooded particularly badly in 1943, the government passed the Pick-Sloan Act, which called...

in an area, this plant begins to spread seeds and continues to reach further. The plant most commonly occurs in the eastern U.S., but is also common along the Mississippi River and Missouri River. It is so successful along the Missouri River because...

read up to eight strain gauges and measures 2.4 cm × 1.3 cm × 0.7 cm. The unit is powered from a small Li-polymer battery that can be recharged wirelessly through tissue, making it suitable for implanted applications. The average current...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Out-of-core image techniques provide for interactive visualization, analysis, and processing of extremely large images exceeding primary memory. This requires specialized data...

The rapid development of wireless communications, scalable technology enabling large scale mass production of System-On-Chip boards, and low cost and low power sensors have made wireless sensor networks easy accessible and ...

Studies were conducted on 15 1034 ha landscape blocks to investigate the effects of forest fragmentation and habitat availability on anuran populations. Detections of anurans did not indicate a correlation between the ...

Premature infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are extremely vulnerable, and breast milk is best for the well-being of the infant. Most premature infants, however, are not yet able to suck, so other methods ...

In wireless communication networks, the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) parameters are mostly based on the average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Other parameters such as site selection during call initiation, handoff, relay ...

In this project, an agent-based computer simulation was developed to model the spread of the 1918-1919 influenza pandemic within and among three Aboriginal communities in central Manitoba. Data from model simulations ...

statistically significantly predicted 19.1 % of the variance student reading outcome scores. CRTSE and CRTOE scores were highly correlated, r(68) =. 562, p<.01. Supplementary analyses revealed participants’ rated non-specific scale items higher than items more...

the lifecycle resilience of reinforced concrete river-crossing bridges under seismic, flood-induced scour, and chloride-induced corrosion impacts, including the consideration of a typical scour countermeasure at variable service times. Based on the general...

Marketing and operations researchers approach services with widely divergent paradigms, focusing on different routes to success. These different approaches often cause these researchers to come to opposing conclusions and ...
