We use a stochastic frontier approach to study the effects of political and regulatory institutions on aggregate productivity in 39 countries from 1975 to 1990. We show that technical efficiency is positively related to ...
Time-dependent response of reinforced concrete elements near collapse
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
consisting of 4 and 6 beams were tested at concrete ages of 67 to 543 under sustained loads ranging from 82 percent to 98 percent of the short-term capacity for time periods from 24 to 52 days, with one beam failing under sustained load within 84 minutes. Ten...
Phenotypic and genetic effects of disposition on beef tenderness and quality attributes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Cattle temperament (exit velocity; EV) and steak tenderness (Warner-Bratzler shear force) have been shown to be associated in Bos indicus cattle (Behrends et al., 2009). Both traits potentially provide opportunities for ...
