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...
Stand structure development effects on wood quality of Melina (Gmelina arborea roxb.)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
A stem analysis was perform to examines the effects of thinning treatments on Melina (Gmelina arborea) wood quality and tree architecture in the North Coast of Colombia. 27 plots under forest management regimes and age ...
The kinetics of non-catalyzed supercritical water reforming of ethanol
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Agriculturally produced ethanol, a renewable resource, may be reformed noncatalytically into hydrogen by a novel process utilizing supercritical water, which acts synergistically both as a solvent and as a reactant. By utilizing supercritical water...
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...
Fertilizer effects on soil pH, soil nutrients, and nutrient uptake in swamp white and pin oak seedlings on an alkaline Missouri River bottomland
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
planted in a bedded and non-bedded calcareous (pH 8.29) soil in a Missouri River bottomland. Objectives were to evaluate the effects of these fertilizers on seedling foliar nutrient content, soil pH, and soil nutrient concentration at two depths throughout...
Characterization of diverse soybean genotypes for phosphorus uptake and use efficiency
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
was aimed at identifying and characterizing soybean genotypes which contrast in their ability to take up P and in their PUE. Results from pot and field experiments with diverse soybean genotypes, including SoyNAM parents, obsolete cultivars, commercial...
Managerial perceptions and responses to climate change in Missouri state parks and historic sites
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Climate change has been described as one of the greatest, long-term challenges facing modern society. Its impacts range from alteration of ecosystem structure and function...
The impact analysis of structural change in Korean agriculture with respect to the Korean-United States free trade agreement : dynamic simultaneous equation model approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The main objective of this study is the analysis of the impacts of the Korean-United States Free Trade Agreement. On April 2, 2007, Korea and the United States concluded a...
Multi-scale investigations of gray treefrong movements: patterns of migration, dispersal, and gene flow
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
determining microhabitat use. Further, I have demonstrated the effects of matrix composition on the frequency of inter-pond movements and elucidated historical patterns of gene flow across central Missouri. My data indicate that migration through terrestrial...
Creating a zero-waste soy processing system and developing vitamin B12 fortified non-GMO high oleic soy-based products using encapsulation technology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
will be done using maltodextrin as a drying aid. In the next part of the study, microencapsulation of vitamin B12 will be carried out by developing the medium using soymeal along with a drying aid. Using the JMP 14.0.0 Pro version software, research experiments...
Seasonality and elevational migration in an Andean bird community
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Life history strategies of many birds in the Neotropics remain poorly known. In particular, details on the seasonal movements of individuals and populations within the Neotropics remain largely unknown, including short-distance ...
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...
