Make it local
(University of Missouri. Extension Division, 1987)
"Editors of most small daily and weekly newspapers say their survival depends on local news. After all, most of their readers can get national news from television or radio networks, national news magazines, or the country's ...
Condition assessment of Kevlar composite materials using Raman spectroscopy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
This thesis presents the results of an investigation of the Raman scattering effects of aging Kevlar composite strands. The goal of this research is to investigate the potential application of Raman spectroscopy as a ...
Agroforestry buffer, biomass crop, and grain crop effects on soil quality and soil water use
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
may avoid soil degradation as well as improve soil and water quality. The objectives of this study were (i) to evaluate the effects of different perennial vegetative management systems and soil depth (10- cm depth increments from the surface to the 40...

A test of differential GPS correction methods at Fort Huachuca, Arizona
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
acquired from an on-site base station showed marked improvement over the use of CORS base data. Accuracy of locally corrected points improved by 75cm and 95cm in two study areas as compared to uncorrected data, while accuracy actually degraded by 28cm and 1...
Biology and management of cut-leaved Teasel (Dipsacus laciniatus L.) in central Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Cut-leaved teasel is a biennial invasive weed that grows along roadsides and low disturbed areas. This research was to determine growth characteristics, herbicide efficacy, and seed production of teasel. Growth characteristics ...
An economic analysis of the agricultural development potential for Southern Honduras
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1975)
The study was conducted in the Valle and Choluteca Districts of Southern Honduras in 1974. The objectives of the study were (1) to identify input-output relationships for selected crops; (2) determine current and potential ...
The role of genetic and phenotypic diversity in maize and its effects on aflatoxin accumulation by the fungus Aspergillus flavus
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Accumulation of the potent carcinogen, aflatoxin, in maize poses a significant health risk to humans and animals. Most commercially grown maize lines are susceptible to infection by the fungus that synthesizes aflatoxin, ...
Electromagnetic effects on soybeans
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
In this study we have exposed different varieties of soybean seeds to electromagnetic (EM) radiation at a frequency other than that of light. The objective was to determine changes in the germination rate, if any, under ...
Site preparation for longleaf pine restoration on hydric sites : stand development and ground flora responses 15 years after planting
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) restoration is an important land management goal throughout the Southeast. On hydric sites within the Atlantic Coastal Plain, restoration may involve site preparation prior to planting ...
First-principle simulation of blast barrier effectiveness for the development of simplified design tools
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Blast barrier walls have been shown to reduce the blast load on structures in most scenarios. Analysis of existing data for blast barrier response ...
