Potential Regional Trade Implications of Adopting Bt Cowpea in West and Central Africa
(AgBioForum, 2006)
This paper used a spatial and temporal price equilibrium model to assess the potential impacts of farmers in West and Central Africa adopting Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp). The results showed that regional cowpea...
Tel Anafa : The 1981 Season
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Museum of Art and Archaeology, 1981)
season of the current series, which has concentrated on the Hellenistic and Roman levels of the tel. Preparatory to final publication, the principal goals of this last season were the verification of certain assumptions on which the restoration...
Psychic costs and factor price equalization
(Southern Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1975-07)
wage differentials among regions and have puzzled over contrary empirical results. It has generally been assumed that labor will flow toward regions paying the highest wage rate. This equilibrating framework has dominated economic thought...
Multi-scale synthesis of historical fire regimes along the south-central US prairie-forest border
(SpringerOpen, 2019)
Background: Along the prairie-forest border in the south-central USA exists one of the most extensive areas of uncut forest in the nation ([greater than]323 750 hectares), providing unique potential for developing multi-century records...
The Variability in Atlantic Ocean Basin Hurricane Occurrence and Intensity as related to ENSO and the North Pacific Oscillation
(National Weather Association, 2000-06)
variation in hurricane intensity by genesis region (i.e. the eastern and western Atlantic Ocean Basins, the Caribbean, and the Gulf of Mexico)....
Climatological features of blocking anticyclones: a study of Northern Hemisphere CCM1 model blocking events in present-day and double CO2 concentration atmospheres
(Springer-Verlag, 1997)
of occurrences, annual variations is size and intensity, and preferred formation regions. A more detailed analysis (i.e., by region and season) revealed some di¤erences between the CCM1 and observed blocking events for characteristics such as mean frequency...
Will Agbiotech Applications Reach Marginalized Farmers? Evidence from Developing Countries
(AgBioForum, 2006)
countries, greater effort is needed to enhance the international exchange of safety and efficacy information, remove the isolation of public research institutions, and overcome barriers to public-private research collaboration....
Using the monthly classification of global SSTs and 500 HPA height to predict temperature and precipitation regimes one to two season in advance for the Mid-Mississippi Region
(National Weather Association, 2008-07)
to the local and regional media as well as the agricultural communities in the mid- Mississippi River Valley. A simple forecast verification scheme was borrowed and used to score the long range forecasts, and skill scores were used to compare and evaluate...

far-IR nebulae around bright central sources....
Spillovers and Crowding Effects in a Mixed Biotech Industry : The Case of Canola
(AgBioForum, 2006)
is consistent with a research clustering effect. The second model, which uses additional data on firm revenue to estimate crowding effects, shows that although private firms tend to crowd one another, public-firm expenditure on basic and applied research creates...
The Columbia, Missouri, Heat Island Experiment (COHIX) and the Influence of a Small City on the Local Climatology
(Missouri Academy of Science, 2004-05)
on the microclimate (temperature and precipitation) of central Missouri. We purchased twenty Radio Shack® digital Max/Min thermometers and ten standard raised-edge rain gauges and these were given to students, staff, and faculty participants who were chosen...
The Climatology of Blocking Anticyclones for the Northern and Southern Hemispheres: Block Intensity as a Diagnostic
(American Meteorological Society, 2002-12)
A 30-yr climatology of blocking events was compiled by stratifying the data into seasonal and three regional categories for both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres using the NCEP-NCAR reanalyses. Several characteristics of blocking anticyclones...
Florida citrus growers' first impressions on genetically modified trees
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2017)
Citrus greening is jeopardizing the Florida citrus industry. A line of research some expect to be the ultimate solution to the disease is developing trees that are resistant to it by using genetic modification. Little, ...
