Cell identification, verification, and classification using shape analysis techniques
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The use of object-oriented approaches in both the verification of meteorological variables (especially precipitation) and the short-term forecasting ...
Methods for high-resolution soil-landscape modeling in midwest upland landscapes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Traditional soil mapping concepts do not sufficiently address the spatial resolution of some soil management problems. Continuous models of soil profiles and landscapes are needed to move beyond the categorical paradigm ...
Analysis of twenty-five years of heavy rainfall events in the Texas Hill Country
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Forecasting heavy rain events and the area of greatest threat has been a long standing challenge in operational meteorology. This is especially true in certain regions where the physical geography lends itself to the ...
The amount of edible meat in the various cuts from animals of known life histories
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1909)
This series of experiments was undertaken with the thought of studying the composition of the different cuts of meat from the housekeeper's standpoint, to determine what cut of meat will furnish the most edible meat for a ...
Use of green manures & cover crops for the south
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1907)
The problem of restoring the fertility to the worn soils and of maintaining that of the new or fresh soils is perhaps the most serious one with which the farmers of the cotton states are confronted. It is indeed unfortunate ...
The verification of weather forecasts compared to numerical model guidance, climatology, human forecasts and seasonal variations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
The accuracy of weather forecasts has been a topic of discussion for many years, and a simple but useful method for showing forecast accuracy has been an issue for meteorologists over time. My study on the comparison of ...
Relation of lime and magnesium to plant growth in Missouri soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1906)
The relation of lime and magnesium to each other in plant growth is a problem over which the Agronomist and Plant Physiologist have stumbled for some time, and before its solution is finally reached, will likely involve ...
Some factors influencing the germination of corn : a thesis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1908)
One line of agricultural investigation that has been much neglected is that of determining what factors may influence the germination of corn. There has been in fact no direct work done along this line that is available ...
Climatology of atmospheric blocking 1978-2008 : global and hemispheric breakdown, as well as impacts of temperature, and global climate cycles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
An examination of atmospheric blocking from the years 1978-2008 was conducted to explore the impacts of temperature and climate cycles on blocking intensity, blocking duration, and total blocking events on an annual basis. ...
Enhanced rhizodegradation of munitions explosives and degradates by selected native grass species
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
TNT (2,4,6-trinitrotoluene) and RDX (hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine) are the two most widespread explosives in the world. The manufacture, use and disposal of explosives can result in environmental contamination, ...
Effects of veterinary antibiotics on atrazine degradation in soil
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
The release of veterinary antibiotics (VAs) in the environment is concerning because VAs have been linked to the development of antimicrobial resistant bacteria and may influence nutrient cycling and agrochemical degradation. ...
An analysis of northern hemisphere block sizes compared to climatology and seasonal variations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
The goal of the following research was to discover if any trends exist between the size of large-scale, mid-latitude anticyclonic events and seasonal characteristics. A 20-year analysis of North American blocking events ...
Study of the phenomenon of barrenness in corn
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1911)
Barrenness in corn is one of the most commonly observed phenomena exhibited by this prominent cereal, and one of the least understood. Why various, seemingly growthy and hardy stalks of corn fail to produce grain has been ...
A study of the physical and chemical properties of the soil as influenced by cowpea culture
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)
In the past twenty-five years much experimental work has been done with cowpeas, in relation to cultural methods, fertilization, and variety tests, but practically nothing has been written with regard to the direct effect ...
The effect of soil texture, water supply, and nutrient supply upon the root development of maize
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
After summarizing previous experiments pertaining to soil texture, water supply, and nutrient supply on various plants, specifically grains, he details his own experiments on these effects on the root development of maize. ...
The use of dispersion modeling to determine the feasibility of vegetative environmental buffers (VEBS) at controlling odor dispersion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Vegetative environmental buffers (VEBs) have been suggested as a possible odor control technology. They have been found to impact odor plume dispersion and have shown the possibility of being an effective tool for odor ...
Soil surface-seal measurement using high-resolution x-ray computed tomography (HRCT)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Rainfall on bare soil breaks soil aggregates, detaching particles, plugging pores and decreasing porosity in the top few mm of soil. This reduces hydraulic conductivity and increases runoff through a process known as surface ...
Elemental concentration changes in soil and stockpiled tall fescue leaves after liming
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) is the dominant forage in Missouri and grows primarily on acidic soils that possess little plant available phosphorus (P). Little is known about the effects of lime on the elemental ...
Use of slow-release N fertilizer to control nitrogen losses due to spatial and climatic differences in soil moisture conditions and drainage in claypan soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Agricultural soils are a major source of nitrous oxide (N₂O) which has a significant environmental impact on global warming and ozone depletion. However, there is little information on soil N₂O emissions under different ...
A study of lightning flashes attending periods of banded heavy snowfall
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Lighting[sic] flashes associated with 24 banded thundersnow events were analyzed to document their polarity, signal strength, and multiplicity. Radar ...
