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...
Liming in Missouri in the 20th century
(University of Missouri--Columbia, Agricultural Experiment Station, 2003)
The following are objectives of this publication ... Provide a condensed history of liming research and practices in Missouri ... Summarize the methods in use at the end of the Twentieth Century to estimate the need for liming material ... Sumarize...
Mesoporous iron oxide energetic composites with slow burn rate, sustained pressure and reduced ESD sensitivity for propellant applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The objective of this thesis is to synthesize a slow burning nanoenergetic formulation of mesoporous iron oxide with sustainable pressure characteristics and reduced electrostatic discharge ignition sensitivity. The choice ...
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....
An evaluation of pre- and post-timber harvest water quality in low-order streams in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Missouri Department of Conservation's (MDC) best management practices (BMPs) for Regenerative Oak Clear Cutting (ROCC) practice was evaluated on effectiveness to preserve downstream water quality. Fifteen sites, located on MDC lands in Shannon...
Top-soil root architecture characteristics of obsolete and modern soybean cultivars and shoot and seed nutrient contents
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI--COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Soybean (Glycine max Merr.) is one of the most important cash crops worldwide. It is widely used to produce oil and protein for food and animal feed. Soybean grain...
Upper Shoal Creek Watershed: Water Quality Analysis
(Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) at the University of Missouri-Columbia, 2004-02)
FAPRI, with significant input from the local community, has developed this analysis defining how current agricultural practices in the upper Shoal Creek Watershed affect water quality.
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 ...
Occupancy modeling of forest carnivores in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
My research used infrared remote cameras, trackplate boxes, and scat transects to survey for carnivores at 53 sites throughout the southern forested region of Missouri. Cameras and track-plates both detected Eastern spotted skunk (Spilogale putorius...
Interference with biologic transmission of Anaplasma marginale by targeting the tick-pathogen interface
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Ticks are globally renowned vectors for numerous zoonoses. Ixodid ticks transmit a variety of viral, bacterial, and protozoan pathogens to their vertebrate hosts. Because of the expansion of the geographic ranges of both ...
Pre-harvest water quality of ephemeral streams in Missouri Ozark forests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) developed a best management practice that leaves a riparian buffer next to streams to reduce the possibility of water quality degradation. The purpose of this study is to quantify water quality in upland...
Statistical and simulation methods for evaluating stationary and mobile work zone impacts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
when traffic volumes are under 1400 veh/hr/ln, and preferably under 1000 veh/hr/ln, due to the drastic increase in the number of conflicts. In addition, three data driven models were developed to predict traffic speed inside a MWZ: a linear regression...
Flow and heat transfer properties of Mono Craters rhyolites : effects of temperature, water content, and crystallinity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
The nature of volcanic processes, including rate of magma ascent, exsolution of volatiles, eruption style, and flow distance, is highly dependent on the viscosity of the associated magma and its ability to transfer heat. ...
Wildlife response to spatial and temporal changes in forest habitat
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
A common goal in land-management planning is to describe the relationship between management actions, vegetation and wildlife habitat conditions for large landscapes. Achieving this goal can be challenging because ecological ...
Evaluation of fecal glucocorticoid metabolite assays for short-term stressors and validation for stress monitoring in African herbivores
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
During stressful periods, glucocorticoid production is increased. Glucocorticoid metabolites are found in blood, urine and feces. Our first goal was to determine if fecal glucocorticoid metabolite (FGM) measurements are a ...
