Rivers running through : an urban environmental history of the Kansas Cities and the Missouri River
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] An environmental history of Kansas City and an urban history of the Missouri River, this dissertation shows how interconnected the city and the river were through the twentieth...
Understanding the influence of a contextual factor, stigma consciousness: a barrier for underrepresented students in engineering
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
on racial/ethnic stigma consciousness on the indirect effect via engineering self-efficacy. A series of ANOVA and MANOVA were also conducted to determine whether demographic and contextual variables could explain racial/ethnic stigma consciousness, coping...
Materials study supporting thermochemical hydrogen cycle sulfuric acid decomposer design
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
A laboratory scale sulfuric acid decomposer simulator was constructed at the Nuclear Science and Engineering Institute at the University of Missouri- Columbia. The simulator was capable of producing the temperatures and corrosive environments...
A test of differential GPS correction methods at Fort Huachuca, Arizona
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
in differential correction has previously proven unreliable. The effectiveness of base data acquired through use of a second field unit as an on-site base station was compared with the use of CORS. The accuracy of data differentially corrected using base data...
Development and evaluation of a site stormwater analysis calculator intended for the State of Missouri utilzing regional best management practices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
impacts for their proposed development and redevelopment scenarios. The calculator utilizes the precipitation data from all weather stations in the State of Missouri reporting data to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA...
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 ...
Entrainment and transport of coarse stream bed material in a fluviokarst watershed, south-central Missouri : a tracer particle study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Plateau of south-central Missouri, and Bear Cave Hollow (BCH), one of TCC's surface drainage streams, bed load entrainment and transport dynamics of mainly siliciclastic material, was evaluated using hydrological measurements and 670 painted tracer...
Technical response functions for corn -- an economic analysis of nitrogen fertilizer experiments
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1972)
of the three counties where the experiments were located. To avoid the consequences of one set of environmental conditions and to obtain more general results experiments were repeated by the Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station during the period 1961...
Effects of temperature, photoperiod, and substrate on the maturation and reproductive behavior of the Topeka shiner (Notropis topeka)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
photoperiod. The results generally indicated that 31[degrees]C exceeded the optimum temperature. Ovarian histology indicated that spawning had likely occurred in all treatments by the end of the experiment. The frequency of occurrence of reproductive behaviors...
Beyond the border war : student civil rights activism at the University of Kansas and the University of Missouri, 1946-1954
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This dissertation examines post-World War II student civil rights activism at two Midwestern college campuses, the University of Missouri (MU) and the University...
Quantifying suspended sediment loading in a mid-Missouri urban watershed using laser particle diffraction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
/water-quality stations were installed in a nested-scale watershed study design to capture differing land-use type influences on SSC. Mean SSCs were estimated to be 66.0, 70.0, and 86.0 [mu]l/l for the headwater (agricultural), suburban (mixed land-use), and urban sub...
New slip and stress distributions hold implications for the next great earthquake in Cascadia
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Over the past decade, advances in detection of seismic tremor and slow slip have revealed a new spectrum of fault behavior in subduction zones around the world. These phenomena live between the mechanisms of brittle failure ...
