properties of a corn (Zea mays L.) cropping system. The study was conducted at the Elsberry Plant Material Center - USDA, Missouri, USA, with 1) no-till cover crop (NC), 2) conventional till no cover crop (CN), and 3) no-till no cover crop (NN) treatments. A...
Experimental evaluation of highway bridge fingerplates under cyclic loading
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Fingerplate expansion joints are frequently used in bridges to account for large movements in the bridge decks often resulting from thermal expansion or contraction. These fingerplate expansion joints, which are designed ...
Cardiac biomarkers (NT-proBNP and cardiac troponin-I) and point-of-care ultrasound in dogs with cardiac and non-cardiac causes of non-hemorrhagic ascites
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
Background: Non-hemorrhagic ascites (NHA) can be caused by cardiac diseases (cNHA) and non-cardiac diseases (ncNHA). N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), cardiac troponin-I (cTnI) and point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) may differentiate...
Adoption and Uptake Pathway of GM Technology by Chinese Smallholders : Evidence from Bt Cotton Production
(University of Missouri, 2015)
Bt cotton was commercially released in 1997. After this, it was successfully adopted in China, helping Chinese farmers recover their cotton production in the late 1990s. Descriptive statistics and findings from focus group ...
