Characterization of pigment-protein complexes in the cyanobacterium Anacystis Nidulans R2
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1987)
Intrinsic membrane proteins associated with photosynthetic electron transfer have highly-conserved analogs in both cyanobacteria and chloroplasts. However, the protein complexes required for light-harvesting are quite ...
Relative motion of spheroids at low Reynolds number
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1987)
of the atmosphere, where the temperature is usually below 0 °C, condensation around a single solid particle occurs [1]. Ice crystals form around dust particles while water drops form around the hygroscopic particle. Initially raindrops continue to grow...
The effect of heat processing conditions upon cholesterol content of a restructured pork/soy hull product
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1988)
The effect of convective heat processing upon cholesterol and cholesterol oxides in a restructured pork/soy hull model system was studied. Thirty different time-temperatures relationships were studied. Quadratic equations ...
Trade barriers to grain cooperatives in exporting
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1986)
The objective of this study was to determine if there were any barriers to grain cooperatives in exporting. Barriers are obstacles associated with the structure of the market. Data compiled to determine if any barriers ...

(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1984)
"THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVES OF LINKAGE DESIGN: The four design objectives most generally encountered when designing a linkage are: Objective 1: Kinematic, a linkage is geometrically designed to meet kinematic objectives such ...
Characteristics of pre-rigor processed beef
(University of Missouri -- Columbia., 1981)
"During the last 25 years, the total production of beef and beef products in the U.S. has markedly increased. Most of this increase has been in the form of ground beef and ground beef products (Sink, 1980). In 1970, 20 ...
Development and evaluation of pattern recognition habitat models for the ruffed grouse, gray squirrel, and fox squirrel in Missouri
(University of Missouri -- Columbia., 1987)
Pattern recognition (PATREC) models are single-species models that use habitat characteristics to arrive at an estimation of population abundance. Currently, personnel of the Mark Twain National Forest in Missouri are using ...
Shape optimization for beam structural design
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1988)
"Optimization is concerned with achieving the best outcome of a given objective while satisfying certain restrictions. The central purpose of structural analysis is to predict the behavior of known structural configurations ...
Assessment of behavioral, neurochemical and developmental effects in developing rats following in utero exposure to non-teratogenic levels of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1984)
The safe or non-teratogenic levels following prenatal exposure of animals to chlorophenoxy herbicides are currently based on offspring survival, growth and absence of anatomical defects or overt neurological impairment. ...
A quarterly econometric model of the United States beef sector
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1982)
The United States beef sector has been modeled in many studies, perhaps, because beef represents a large proportion of the consumer food dollar and agriculture’s income. The predictive performance of these models has been, ...
OPEC as a non-state actor : formation and dynamics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1982)
This dissertation analyzes the factors which have promoted the formation of OPEC and the dynamics of its confrontation with the multinational oil companies (MNOCs). It analyzes the rise of OPEC from the perspective of the ...
Yeast mutants containing elevated methionine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1983)
Yeasts are deficient in methionine which restricts the nutritive value of the protein. The objective of this research was to produce a methionine-rich mutant. Mutants of Candida tropical is ATCC 1369, Candida tropica!is ...
Uncertainty and the microfoundations of supply response : some theoretical considerations and an empirical application in the U.S. corn market
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1987)
This study has examined how a micro-level decision model which incorporates uncertainty can be reconciled with observed market behavior. Conditions under which a firm-market correspondence exists in a deterministic environment ...
Economic analysis of winter vegetable markets in Tunisia
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1985)
The rapid development of the non-traditional winter vegetable industry in Tunisia has resulted frequently in domestic market saturation and depressed prices. Frequent complaints suggest that the existing pricing system has ...
