Comparative study of type 2 median crossovers and median u-turns
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Many states use rural expressway median crossovers which provide for separation between the two opposing traffic lanes to manage the direct left turn movements between the expressways and cross roads. As the volume increases on the major road...
The relation of the size of seed to the character of plant produced
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
Text taken from pages 1 and 2 of this thesis: During the past fifty years a number of investigators have reported results on the relative value of heavy and light or large and small seed grain. Each investigator has devised a some what different...
Storage facilities of Missouri country elevators
(University of Missouri., 1958)

Corridors and deer-vehicle collisions along Missouri interstate highways
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
and rural interstates in Missouri (I-29, I-35, I-44, I-49, I-55, I-57, I-64, I-70, I-155, I-170, I-255, I-270, I-435, and I-470). Despite the small number of DVCs on interstates (<15 percent), these sites are high-speed impacts, averaging $6,717 per crash...
Stand structure development effects on wood quality of Melina (Gmelina arborea roxb.)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
of log grade through the harvest cycle shows the highest increments at Cordoba region. Dendrometric variables such as heartwood, sapwood, and diameter and crown height are good estimators of tree volume, taper and branch modeling....
Factors influencing income and production efficiency on Missouri dairy farms, 1955 and 1956
(University of Missouri., 1958)
"The purpose of this project is to study the competitive position of Missouri dairy farms using business records of dairy farmers in order to determine the cost of producing milk on farms of different sizes (economic of scale), and the relationship...
An analysis of livestock marketing patterns in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1960)
"Missouri is fortunate in its strategic location near the heart of the grain belt east of the Great plains cattle producing areas and on the western fringe of concentrated centers of population. A combination of favorable factors have contributed...
Modeling the financial impact of management decisions on loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Located primarily in the southeastern United States, Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) is a variety of Southern yellow pine that is often planted by non-industrial private landowners seeking a beneficial long-term investment ...
A critical study of the chemical and physical factors involved in cake making
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
There is no specific history as to how and when the first cake was made. However, it is reasonable to suppose that it developed logically from bread making at an early date, when some clever cook found that the addition ...
Associations between psychosis risk and emotional distress disorders with cortical surface morphometry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Neuroimaging studies have consistently found structural cortical abnormalities in schizophrenia, especially in structural hubs. However, it is unclear what...
The use of fats in cooking
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)
The cost of food is the all important question at the present time. Our people must be fed. The problem is to discover what available foods will give the most nutritive value at a minimum cost. When we observe that a pound ...
Numerical solutions to the Poisson equation in media surrounding multiple arbitrarily shaped bodies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The dissertation describes a general, efficient, and parallelized approach to solving the Poisson equation in the volume surrounding multiple, arbitrarily shaped bodies. Green...
Nanomechanical property characterization of femoral head materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Orthopedic Implants under long-term physiological loading could produce changes in the surface mechanical properties and possible failure. The knowledge of mechanical properties...
Indexes of the influence of weather on corn yields in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1964)
yields in Missouri. The study was designed (1) to construct and evaluate Indexes of weather using existing techniques in a designated Central Missouri area, (2) to construct and evaluate indexes of weather in a designated area utilising the most recent...
An in depth evaluation of internal criteria for determining the number of clusters in a data set
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Clustering procedures partition data sets into groups, minimizing the distance within clusters while maximizing the distance between clusters. Clustering can be a powerful tool...
