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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
A market study of sealed bid competition for Utah public school lunch milk, 1970-1975
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1981)
This study was designed to determine the influence of various economic factors on sealed bid prices and, accordingly, to serve as a guide for setting these factors to obtain a more competitive price. Traditional concepts ...
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 ...
Growth regulation and mitogen binding in established rat ovarian cell lines
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1981)
Factors capable of supplanting serum in the growth stimulation of established rat ovarian cells in serum-free medium were determined. Among the potential mitogens tested, the most potent combinations consisted of low ...
Frederick Buechner : an introduction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1987)
American writer Frederick Buechner has published, since 1950, eleven novels and ten major works of non-fiction. The critical reception of Buechner’s work has been generally problematic; his work has been undervalued, at ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
