The variable RS Cassicpeiae (108.1904)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1907)
by Miss Whitney at the Vassar College Observatory, A. N. No. 4050, confirmed the variation and gave a range in brightness of 9.m7 to 10.m4. The following provisional elements, based upon observations made here, were announced in Laws Observatory Bulletin...
Study of the convergence of series in certain orthogonal functions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
In this present paper we will develop some theorems concerning the degree of convergence of certain series, in particular a Fourier's series, a Legendre's series, and a series of Bessel's functions. Before proceeding directly to the proof...
The use of web analytics on an academic library website
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Academic libraries need to evaluate their electronic services in order to ensure their users' satisfaction. Libraries have been using evidence based evaluation traditionally. These practices have their imitations as they are time consuming and rely...
Elementary agriculture for city high schools
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)
The experience of teaching Agriculture in the high school for a number of years has impressed upon the writer the need of a more careful selection of material than is indicated by most of the text book in Elementary Agriculture. From this broad...
A Study of the effect of liming an acid soil on the growth of certain legumes and non-legumes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
A number of investigators have found that applications of lime to an acid soil have in many cases resulted in a depression of crop yields. This effect has been observed especially in connection with pot cultures where various phosphate fertillizers...
The effect of liming an acid soil on the growth of certain legumes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
The experimental work for this thesis was planned to secure information as to the effect of limestone applied to an acid soil (1) on the growth of legumes, (2) on the activities of tuberclue bacteria, and (3) on the amount of nitrogen secured from...
The eclipsing binary TV cassiopeiae
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)
after the procedure described in Law Observatory Bulletin No. 24."--Page 2....
The amount of edible meat in the various cuts from animals of known life histories
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1909)
This series of experiments was undertaken with the thought of studying the composition of the different cuts of meat from the housekeeper's standpoint, to determine what cut of meat will furnish the most edible meat for a given amount of money....
An analysis of the agricultural base and potential in State Economic Area 2b in northeast Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1965)
Important changes have occurred since 1950 in the agriculture of the State Economic Area 2b, a sixteen county area in northeast Missouri. The changes have been induced by broad movements in economic and technological forces affecting the agriculture...
A chemical contribution toward the composition, structure and origin of the crystalline rocks of south-east Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1910)
Text from page 1: "It is the purpose of a study undertaken by Mr. J.A. Gibson, of which this present paper is a part, to obtain complete data on the chemical composition of the rocks of this region, and to trace, if ...
A critical study of the chemical and physical factors involved in cake making
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
There is no specific history as to how and when the first cake was made. However, it is reasonable to suppose that it developed logically from bread making at an early date, when some clever cook found that the addition ...
Characterization of peptides and phage that bind galectin-3 selected from bacteriophage display libraries: a study of the role of galectin-3 in metastasis-associated cancer cell adhesion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
identified peptide antagonists of galectin-3 using combinatorial bacteriophage (phage) display technology. The peptides bound with high affinity to purified galectin-3 protein and to cell surface galectin-3. Experiments with a series of recombinant serially...
Influence of characters of ear and kernel upon the germination of maize
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1912)
of the ear and kernel which have a marked influence upon the yield. This is so universal that we have score cards which set forth the ideal type of ear and give certain values to the different characters. In general, the score cards are alike and all agree...
A shellabration of early life : exploring the taphonomy, diversity, and distribution of small shelly fossils surrounding archaeocyathid reef systems in the Harkless System, Death Valley, NV
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
framework builders and their small shelly fossil (SSF) inhabitants. This study focuses on lower Cambrian (Series 2, Stage 4) SSF assemblages from the Harkless Formation in southern Esmeralda County, Nevada, as a comprehensive systematic and quantitative...
The effects of various planes of nutrition upon the cost of maintenance, reproduction, and development of beef cows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
The frequency with which valuable animals reproduce themselves has always been a factor of economic importance in the pure bred cattle business. Great economic changes during the last few years have made this an important ...
Indexes of the influence of weather on corn yields in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1964)
findings from weather-related studies, (3) to construct weather indexes for the crop reporting districts and the State using the most suitable technique. The initial comparison of techniques was confined to seven counties in Central Missouri. Weather data...
Control of the humus supply of certain important Missouri soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1908)
The soils of Missouri, with very few exceptions, are deficient in humus, and the continuous cropping (to corn especially) which is practiced in many parts of the state is rapidly depleting what humus there is in the soil. In many parts of the state...
A phenomenological study of new adult readers' participation in a community reading program
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
This research presents a phenomenological study of readers who participated in a community reading program. It examines participatory education in the context of a community reading project hosted by a public library. Narrative interviews...
Using theory of reasoned action (TRA) in understanding selection and use of information resources : an information resource selection and use model
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
resources. In order for libraries to provide user-centered services, it is important to examine not only what, but also why information resources are selected and used by users. The present study aims to examine how resource characteristics, library...
