[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...
A simultaneous equation analysis of selected terminal hog markets
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1971)
. These contracts differ depending upon whom the contracting corporation is, but the general purpose of the contracts is to stabilize hog supplies so that the buyers and sellers may operate under less uncertainty, whether the buyer be a feed manufacturer or a packer...

(University of Missouri -- Columbia., 1981)
"This study was undertaken to examine the extent of cholinesterase inhibition and clinical effects of repeated topical application of the organophosphorus insecticide (Ciovap (R)) and the oral administration of phenothiazine ...
Federal crop insurance -- a case study in Audrain County, Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1972)
. In 1971, 62 counties out of 114 counties in Missouri were authorized to write all-risk crop insurance. In these 62 counties, 6,556,774 acres were harvested in the 1971 crop year; but only 168,013 acres, or 2.6 percent, were insured by the Federal Crop...
Behavioral effects of three social conditions of reinforcement on an inpatient token reinforcement system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1975)
behavior, (b) the clarification of the comparative behavioral effects of the numerous social conditions of reinforcement, and (c) the extension of group operant systems to diverse populations within institutional settings. The current research is directed...
Entrainment and transport of coarse stream bed material in a fluviokarst watershed, south-central Missouri : a tracer particle study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
of the longitudinal movement of tracers over a 10-month period indicate that minor amounts (0-13.2%) of coarse bed material in TCC are mobilized by relatively low flows (5-28% of bankfull) that recur somewhat frequently (less than 3.1 years). BCH transports a higher...
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...
Point processes on the complex plane with applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] A point process is a random collection of points from a certain space, and point process models are widely used in areas dealing with spatial data. However, studies of point...
Pulsatile viscous flow in flexible-elastic tubes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1971)
solution to the problem, although there have been many variations on Womersley's original model. The main disadvantage to these solutions is that they are very laborious to apply. The solutions are given in terms of complex Bessel functions and in general...
A feedlot beef cattle production function study with an economic analysis of corn-silage rations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1971)
: 1. To derive the production surface for feedlot beef steers fed various corn and corn-silage rations. 2. To complete an economic analysis which Includess a. Specification of economic optimum rations for various corn and corn-silage price ratios. b...
An in depth evaluation of internal criteria for determining the number of clusters in a data set
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Clustering procedures partition data sets into groups, minimizing the distance within clusters while maximizing the distance between clusters. Clustering can be a powerful tool...
An optical lateral control system for vehicles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1971)
access highways connecting these cities are near capacity. With the traffic volume increasing at a rate of more than 3% per year, the highways are becoming more crowded (2). As a result, the number of traffic accidents is also increasing. Thus, if we...
