(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...
Estimation of demand parameters : an empirical analysis of consumer behavior in the United States
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1971)
is insufficient for the estimation of a large number of the required parameters. Recent studies of the theory of consumer behavior have provided a number of empirically useful hypotheses concerning the separability of the consumer’s utility functions...
Comparing the diversity, geographic distribution, and intraspecific variation of subterranean termites (Reticulitermes: Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) occuring in woodlands and urban environments of Missouri using morphology and 16s mtDNA
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
. In urban environments they feed upon dead wood, and therefore infest and destroy man-made wooden structures. Missouri is considered to have a moderate risk for termite infestations when compared with the states of the southeast part of the country. Despite...

(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1937)
Preliminary statement: Purpose: The purpose of the study was to ascertain something of the levels of living of farm and village families in a selected area in Southeast Missouri. Particular emphasis is given to the tenure groups: owner, renter...
Milk supply response in Greater Kansas City marketing area
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1964)
The growth of the dairy industry has been an important factor in the agricultural development of the United States. Missouri has shared in this development. The sale of dairy products has contributed nine to thirteen percent of the total income from...
Methods for high-resolution soil-landscape modeling in midwest upland landscapes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
resolution with the combined use of a diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) sensor and several soil electrical conductivity (EC) sensors, 2) model measured or sensor predicted soil profile properties with nonlinear peak functions, and 3) map the parameters...
Spatiotemporal patterns of earthquakes and their implications for earthquake hazards
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
This work focuses on characterizing spatiotemporal patterns of earthquakes, their possible causes, and their implications for seismic hazard assessment. I studied both local and global earthquakes in the view of complex ...
An ecological systems approach to reduce children's encounters with obscenity on the internet
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
This dissertation explores how to reduce children's encounters with obscenity on the Internet. Congress has been trying to shield children from encountering online obscenity and some of Congress' attempts failed because ...
The most favorable temperatures for the cooking of some typical foods
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)
A search through available published material on the subject of the cooking of foods reveals for the most part only recommendations of fairly wide ranges rather than definite limits of temperature for the cooking of specified ...
Part I: The synthesis of chenodeoxycholic acid derived macrocyles and cage compounds. Part II. Sonogashira coupling for the synthesis of well-defined π-conjugated arylene ethynylene oligomers as blue-light-emitting materials
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-01-20)
time that CO2 has been directly introduced to the steroid molecules by organic synthetic method. It also provides a potential methodology to synthesize 14C labeled bile acid derivatives to explore the transport mechanism of hASBT. Secondly, a series...
Local free convection to non-Newtonian fluids from a horizontal, isothermal cylinder
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1972)
The transfer of heat between a body surface and the motionless fluid surrounding it is perhaps one of the most naturally occurring physical phenomena. Undoubtedly interest and speculation regarding this natural or free ...
Place names of St. Louis and Jefferson County
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1939)
confined to relatively small areas. It is the task of the place-name worker to find the significance, large or small, past or present, obvious or concealed, in each and every name...Pages 1-2....
The kinetics of non-catalyzed supercritical water reforming of ethanol
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
point, 374[degrees]C and 22.1 MPa, and exhibits both liquid and gas-like properties and acts a non-polar solvent. Since supercritical water is denser than steam, supercritical water reactors have the potential of being smaller than their catalytic...
Rheological and morphological evolution of basaltic lava flows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
the following research questions: (1) How does the rheology of active flows evolve during emplacement; and (2) How can we use flow morphology to infer the rheology of inactive flows? ... At Piton de La Fournaise (La R�union, FR DOM), I addressed the longstanding...
Essays on money and banking: a search-theoretic approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
periods. The quantitative analysis suggests that the dramatic changes in the money multiplier after 2008 were driven by the introduction of interest on reserves with a low nominal interest rate. In the second chapter, I develop a dynamic general...
Exhaustible resources and technological change in the United States agriculture, 1940-1969
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1973)
regression was employed to estimate relationships between aggregate agricultural output and seven selected inputs: Xlt = total farm labor (persons) at time t X2t = acres of land used at time t X3t = tons of nitrogen at time t X4t = tons of phosphate at time...
Interactions of formamidines with the platelet serotonin uptake system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1981)
chlordimeform inhibited the uptake of 5-HT by rat blood platelets, 2. To determine the relationship between formamidine structure and 5-HT uptake inhibitory potency, 3. To study the mechanism by which formamidines inhibit 5-HT uptake using chlordimeform as a...
