Swine Manure Management Systems in Missouri (2001)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2001)
Livestock manure is a potential source of surface and groundwater contamination. Modern livestock production, confining herds in smaller spaces, has increased problems associated with disposing and making use of manure. ...
Adoption of nutrient management practices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Off-farm income has recently been incorporated into the analysis of technology adoption, due to its increasing share in total farm household income in the U.S. Previous studies, however, found inconsistent results with ...
Polyacrylamide amendment for erosion and runoff control on soils of differing characteristics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
The use of anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) as a soil amendment is an emerging conservation practice. However, guidelines have not been developed with considerations of soil properties and topographic characteristics. The ...
Tensile strength, shear strength, and effective stress for unsaturated sand
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
It is generally accepted in geotechnical engineering that non-cohesive materials such as sands exhibit no or negligible tensile strength. However, there is significant evidence that interparticle forces arising from capillary ...
Experimental study of localization in sensor networks and design of adaptive localization algorithms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] We design an experimental framework to evaluate localization methods for sensor networks. We use this framework to evaluate three existing localization approaches: Ad...
The role of household environment on health outcomes for female adolescents in Kenya
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
; those between the ages of 20 and 24 comprised nearly half (over 47%) of the sample. This study found a strong association between reported illness and environmental factors in the household. Age and marriage were highly significant factors, producing a...
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 ...
Copper (I) coordination networks synthesized with solid-solid reactions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
The use of solid-solid reactions in the development of one-, two-, and three dimensional Cu(I) coordination networks are discussed. The solid-solid reactions were monitored by a variety of instrumental techniques to achieve ...
An evaluation of pre- and post-timber harvest water quality in low-order streams in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Missouri Department of Conservation's (MDC) best management practices (BMPs) for Regenerative Oak Clear Cutting (ROCC) practice was evaluated on effectiveness to preserve downstream water quality. Fifteen sites, located on MDC lands in Shannon...
Ammonia elimination from protonated nucleobases
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The dediazoniations of the diazonium ion 1 of 4-aminopyrimidine and of the tautomeric cytosinediazonium ions 2 and 3 are facile and result in the formations of cations 4, 5, and 6. The pyrimidine ring-opening of 4, 5 and ...
Computational studies of gases adsorbed on graphene-like materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Nanoporous activated carbons generate interest for their gas storage and separation potential. Generally, adsorbents are assumed rigid, even though they are formed by feeble quasi-2D flakes of graphene. In 2019, Schaeperkoetter ...
Development and application of vegetative buffer width modeling using geographic information systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
of performance could potentially require wider or narrower buffer widths in order to meet certain stormwater management criteria. This method was successfully demonstrated within the LaBarque Creek watershed located southwest of St. Louis, Missouri for three...
Investigation of CO2 capture systems, Lewis acid-base pairs, and oscillating reactions with electronic structure theory and kinetics-based approaches
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
the capture of CO2 by small alkylamines. The quality of that discussion was tested directly with the work described in Chapter 2. The work that led to Chapter 2 was an enormous learning experience; it was amazing to see all the pieces of the complicated multi...
Multi-hazard resilience assessment of river-crossing bridges
(2021)
Bridge structures are required to possess high reliability and robustness against the concurrent effect of extreme loads and environmental attacks. To achieve such interrelated goals, it is necessary to assess the system performance and resilience...
Perceptions of an international branch campus' impact on the Sustainable Development Goals in the Ivory Coast
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
) and the higher education system promoted through their IBC at the University of Ivory Coast (pseudonym). This research was conducted with the intention of determining whether or whether not these initiatives considerably enhance the quality of life for current...
Effects of prescribed fire on forest soil properties in the Ozark Highlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
/Forest Hills Land Type Association in the Black River Basin of southern Missouri. Weathered from Roubidoux sandstone and Gasconade dolomite, soils at the study sites contain large quantities of coarse fragments and reduced nutrient content. In 2015, fire...
