A test of differential GPS correction methods at Fort Huachuca, Arizona
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
acquired from an on-site base station showed marked improvement over the use of CORS base data. Accuracy of locally corrected points improved by 75cm and 95cm in two study areas as compared to uncorrected data, while accuracy actually degraded by 28cm and 1...
Three essays on biofuel policies and aggregate supply curve
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
show that RenovaBio can cause 7.2 percent of GHG abatement with an annual average compliance cost of R$ 36.3 billion. Total compliance costs are reduced if CBIO compliance targets are relaxed or there is good progress reducing biofuel carbon intensities...
Three essays on phosphorus runoff and water quality
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Water pollution caused by nutrients, and the resulting eutrophication, have increased over time. This water pollution is increasingly caused by non-point source pollution, both...
The effect of age and condition on the mineral composition of the ash of the bovine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
and in most cases incomplete. Furthermore, a great deal of the data as presented by various investigators cannot be compared because of lack of uniformity in reporting results as well as in the selection of samples for analysis. Forbes in his bulletin on "The...
Investigation upon the nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and ash content of three beef animals, with special study upon the forms of sulfur
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)
This thesis explores the chemical composition of beef cattle, with special attention given to nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and ash content. A review of previous research is provided as well as a description of an experiment carried out...
Habitat use and home range of American bitterns (Botuarus lentiginosus) and monitoring of inconspicuous marsh birds in northwest Minnesota
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
), Pied-billed Grebes (Podilymbus podiceps), Soras (Porzana carolina), and Virginia Rails (Rallus limicola)) is needed to inform conservation and management actions. My research, from 1999 - 2002, examined breeding habitat use and home range of American...
Pottery production at Fort Hill (27CH85) a seventeenth-century refugee community in northern New England
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This thesis formulates a model for explaining stylistic, functional, and compositional diversity in ceramic artifacts produced during the contact period (A.D. 1590...
Hydrodynamic characteristics and capillary-assisted heat transfer enhancement of non-condensing/condensing two-phase flows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Interfacial characteristics of two-phase flows were studied through visualization experiments and numerical simulation using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based on the volume-of-fluid (VOF)-continuum surface force (CSF) method...
Development and validation of standardized sampling protocols for assessing freshwater mussel populations in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
step in assessing populations. We surveyed 14 sites in the Meramec River Basin in East-central Missouri to determine the effectiveness of visual sampling methods and to determine the effects of habitat variability on the effectiveness of these methods...
Amphibian metamorphosis and juvenile terrestrial performance following chronic cadmium exposure in the aquatic environment
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
degradation and amphibian declines. Manipulative experiments were conducted to investigate the performance (i.e., growth, survival) of amphibians that metamorphose from chemically-contaminated aquatic breeding sites. The heavy metal cadmium (Cd) was selected...
