(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
, and the legislative decision to guarantee a minimum (hold harmless) payment per student to analyze whether funding for Missouri public schools was more equitable than the pre-1993 OSA formula. Specific fiscal years from 1998-99 through 2005-06 were selected...
Conformational stability of some silanes and amines from temperature dependent Infrared spectra of rare as solutions, r₀ structural parameters, ab initio calculations, and vibrational assignments
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-06-12)
calculations with scaled force constants from MP2(full)/6-31G(d) calculations from which the fundamental vibrational frequencies, infrared intensities, Raman activities, depolarization values and infrared band contours were predicted. Barriers to internal...
Effect of temperature on a soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] mutant
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
mutant with dwarf phenotype, and TM-Normal and two other genotypes in response to high temperatures of 38 °C, 40 °C, and a control temperature of 28 °C. The results showed that a mutation might cause TM-Miniature seedlings to be more thermotolerant than...
Chinese urban households' security market participation : does investment knowledge and having a long-term plan help?
(2015)
a long-term financial plan were positively associated with Chinese households' participation in the securities markets. The findings provide insight into the long-term financial security of Chinese households. Given the growing middle class...

Cover crop effects on corn plant water uptake and soil health
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
, are used for soil quality improvement. However, the effects of CC on water use of the following corn (Zea mays L.) crop is not yet studied. Also, CC effects on soil water availability is yet inconclusive. Although CC are believed to play a major role...
Some economic aspects of the farm poultry enterprise

Agroforestry buffer, biomass crop, and grain crop effects on soil quality and soil water use
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
the impacts of perennial vegetation practices and soil depth on soil water dynamics as compared to row crop system; (iv) to evaluate the effects of long-term perennial management and cropping systems, landscape positions, and the distance from the base of a...
On the ability of rocks to conduct heat in the Lithosphere
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
This work focuses on creating a model for the conductive thermal transport properties of rocks using measured thermal diffusivity (D) with the Laser Flash Analysis (LFA) method, which eliminates common errors associated with physical contacts...
Comparing mosquito communities of various patch-matrix landscape combinations in central Missouri, with implications for developing models to forecast abundances of important mosquito taxa
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
-matrix landscape combinations common in five central Missouri counties; 2) evaluate the temporal occurrence of these mosquito taxa; 3) assess relationships between regional weather factors and the occurrence and abundance of the mosquito fauna; and 4) categorize...
Load transfer in reticulated and non-reticulated micropiles from large-scale tests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Using micropiles for slope stabilization is a proven technique but there are many uncertainties with how load is transferred from the soil to the structural elements. A large-scale model was constructed to test model slopes while measuring slope...
Reliability-based analysis of settlements of shallow foundations on cohesionless soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
, and consequently to the settlement estimations. Traditional settlement analysis methodologies do not incorporate a consistent approach to account for the uncertainties and can lead to either costly design by overestimation of the settlement or a risky design...
