The dissertation traces John Horne Burns's life and career as a novelist and English teacher, from his origins in Andover through his literary success with The Gallery (1947), Lucifer with a Book (1949), and A Cry of ...
Lorentzian warped products and static space-times
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1985)
Let (M, g) be a Lorentzian manifold, (H, h) a Reimannian manifold, and let f: H [right arrow] (0, [infinity symbol] be an arbitarary smooth function. Then the product manifold M x H with Lorentzian metric g = (f[suprscript ...
Some characteristics and environmental sensitivities of taxpayers taking the United States political contribution tax credit during 1979-1982
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1988)
This study was designed to determine characteristics of taxpayers taking the political contribution tax credit from 1979 to 1982. This work is similar to studies on the effectiveness of tax incentives in promoting positive ...
Interaction of organophosphorus insecticide (Ciovap(R)) with phenothiazine anthelmintic in sheep with or without Haemonchus and Trichostrongylus species infection
(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 ...
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. ...
Interactions of formamidines with the platelet serotonin uptake system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1981)
An important aspect of boxicology is the determination of the actions of pesticidal compounds. In addition to providing information on the mechanisms of toxicity such studies also provide knowledge of the physiology and ...
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 ...
Simulation model for entrained bed gasification
(University of Missouri -- Columbia., 1981)
Contrary to impressions that might be gained from the intense interest now expressed in it, coal gasification is not a new or even a particularly novel concept. The technical principles underlying it were well understood ...
Edwin Sutherland and the origins of differential association theory
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1984)
The purpose of this dissertation is to examine thoroughly the origin of Edwin H. Sutherland’s theory of differential association and to show hew it evolved with Sutherland’s development as a criminologist. Comparing ...
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 ...
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 ...
On the steady states and dynamic behavior of two CSTR's in series
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1987)
The mass and energy balances describing transcient behavior of two continuous flow stirred tank reactors in series are written in dimensionless form, for a first order reaction. It is shown that the maximum number of steady ...
Equilibrium and transport properties of polyatomic gases
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1988)
The spherical shell intermolecular potential function was used to represent the properties of pure components and mixtures of gases. Parameters for this function were evaluated using second virial coefficient data and ...
Critique of the political self : criticism of the conceptual adequacy of political culture from the perspective of Plato, Hobbes, Montesquieu, and Kant
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1982)
The last four decades’ national bifurcation in Korea reflects not only the international power struggle between powerful foreign nations but also their ideological conflict. Under the assumption that the internalization ...
Diffusion through porus media in transition region
(University of Missouri -- Columbia., 1981)
Chemical engineering is the design of industrial processes in which raw materials are under physical and/or chemical treatment. Catalysis is very importment in these processes. Therefore, a knowledge of the movement of ...
A numerical study on the rotational motion of an axisymmetric particle in a viscous fluid
(University of Missouri -- Columbia., 1983)
"The motion of a single particle in an inertialess unbounded Newtonian fluid has been studied for more than 100 years. The applications of such problems in industry are: the transport of slurries in pulp processing, the ...
Textural properties of coagulated milk products containing soy protein
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1982)

Wall and inertia corrections to the settling velocity of spheroids
(University of Missouri -- Columbia., 1987)
"Introductory Remarks: There is a great deal of interest in the relative motion of particles at low Reynolds numbers. The stimulus for these studies has ranged from interest in basic fluid mechanics to investigations of ...
Economic analysis of winter vegetable markets in Tunisia
