(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] As study of the Alexandrian monumental rock-cut tombs in the eastern necropolis of Moustapha Pasha, leads to a re-examination of their artifacts, architectural features...
Neutron diffraction studies on ABO₃ (A=La, Sr, B=Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Mn, Ti) perovskite used in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and double perovskite Ba₂YRu[0.85-subscript]Cu[0.15-subscript]O₆ superconductor
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
and a mixture of 5wt% YBa₂Cu₃O₇₋[delta subscript] and undoped Ba₂YRuO₆ were investigated with the aid of neutron diffraction. The 1:1 B site ordering is observed and long range antiferromagnetic ordering of the Ru sublattice with a type I magnetic...
Mathematical problems from cryobiology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
in the 2- solute case. After defining optimal controls, the question arises whether the predicted continuous optimal control of the extracellular environment affects the hypotheses of the ODE model, namely, perfect stirring inside and outside of the cell...
Nutrients, chlorophyll and bacterial fecal indicators in coves and open water areas of Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Urban development and use of septic tanks in porous soils of Lake of the Ozarks poses a threat to public health via leaching into drinking wells and coves used for swimming. During 2 summers, phosphorus (TP), nitrogen (TN), chlorophyll (Chl), fecal...
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...
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....
Carbon dioxide adsorption on carbonized cigarette filters
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
filters as carbon precursor and urea as nitrogen source, by varying the urea concentration and carbonization temperature investigating their CO2 adsorption capacities. Through TGA test, the sorbent 12M700C was found to have the largest CO2 capacity....
Machine-aided analysis of vote privacy using computationally complete symbolic attacker
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Security protocols employ cryptographic primitives such as encryption and digital signatures to provide security guarantees of confidentiality and authenticity in the presence of malicious attackers. Due to the complexities ...
Alkene-oxo and alkene-alkene coupling on Pt(II)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Tetranuclear Pt(II) oxo-complex [(COD)4Pt4([mu]3-O)2Cl2](BF4)2 (1) (COD = 1,5- cyclooctadiene) was found to readily react with a variety of alkenes (ethylene, norbornene, propylene and cyclopentene). The most significant discovery resulted from...
A shellabration of early life : exploring the taphonomy, diversity, and distribution of small shelly fossils surrounding archaeocyathid reef systems in the Harkless System, Death Valley, NV
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
framework builders and their small shelly fossil (SSF) inhabitants. This study focuses on lower Cambrian (Series 2, Stage 4) SSF assemblages from the Harkless Formation in southern Esmeralda County, Nevada, as a comprehensive systematic and quantitative...
Bayesian cusp regression and linear mixed model
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)

Theoretical and experimental study of an evaporative cooler embedded with parallel plates
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In the current investigation, a theoretical model predicting the temperature variation of ambient air flowing through an evaporative cooler embedded with parallel plates...
Synthesis and reactivity of low-valent uranium and neptunium complexes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
