Investigation into lowering cement clinker content using available materials
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-08-17)
Reducing cement clinker with mineral addition has been considered an efficient way
of saving energy, lowering CO2 footprint of cement and concrete industries. The trend of
using limestone as mineral addition in cement ...
Between-row mower design for weed control in organically grown no-till soybeans
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
included 1) pre-plant tillage + cultivation; 2) pre-plant tillage + mowing for weed control; 3) organic no-till using cover crops + mowing for weed control; and 4) organic no-till using cover crops + no subsequent weed control. Weed control treatments were...
Bed degradation of the lower Missouri River
(2013-06-04)
The phenomenon of bed degradation can be due to a multiplicity of causes, but ultimately reflects a change in either the sediment input or sediment transport capacity of a system. Causes for the accelerated rate of degradation of the lower Missouri...
Multiple potential well structure in inertial electrostatic confinement devices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)
