[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Clustering procedures partition data sets into groups, minimizing the distance within clusters while maximizing the distance between clusters. Clustering can be a powerful tool...
Impacts of Precipitation, Land use Land cover and Soil type on the Water Balance of Lake Chad Basin
(2013)
Lake Chad Basin (LCB) has experienced drastic changes in land cover and poor water management practices during the last 50 years. The successive droughts in the 1970s and 1980s resulted in a decrease in surface water and ...

Generation, collection and characterization of nanoparticles and their diffusion in arbitrary tumor and normal tissue geometry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Nanoparticles have unique electronic, optical, mechanical, magnetic and chemical properties that are significantly different from those of the bulk materials. Because of this...
The effect of environment on seed composition of tofu and natto soybean cultivars
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Composition of soybean seeds is important to manufacturers of tofu and natto food products. The effect of environment on seed composition of tofu and natto soybean cultivars was measured in Missouri in 2004 and 2005. The environment was altered...
The Impact of Climate Variability and Land Cover Change on Groundwater Resources in The Niger River Basin
(2021)
The Niger River Basin (NRB) has experienced severe droughts and floods under a significant change of the land use and land cover (LULC) with increasing population over the years. The present study is to understand the ...

Associations between psychosis risk and emotional distress disorders with cortical surface morphometry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Neuroimaging studies have consistently found structural cortical abnormalities in schizophrenia, especially in structural hubs. However, it is unclear what...
Ambulatory assessment of physical pain, emotional distress, and alcohol use
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The available research suggests that many individuals with chronic pain drink alcohol to manage their pain. However, few studies have examined the association of alcohol and pain...
Soil testing in Missouri : a guide for conducting soil tests in Missouri
(2022)
"Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station Bulletin 734, An Explanation of Theory and Methods of Soil Testing by E. R. Graham (1) was published in 1959. It served for years as a guide. In 1977 Extension Circular 923, Soil Testing in Missouri...
Investigation into lowering cement clinker content using available materials
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-08-17)
Reducing cement clinker with mineral addition has been considered an efficient way
of saving energy, lowering CO2 footprint of cement and concrete industries. The trend of
using limestone as mineral addition in cement ...
Toward a common market in residency: international migration and regional integration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
This paper further develops models of regional migration, particularly in continents integrating regionally as it magnifies the importance of immigrant behavior for economists and policy-makers. I outline the history of ...
Flexure shear response in fatigue of fiber reinforced concrete beams with FRP tensile reinforcement
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
of polypropylene fibers by volume, individual compressive tests were performed on both lab-mix and ready mix concrete specimens. In the lab, concrete mixes with 0.0%, 0.5%, and 1.0% by volume, fibrillated polypropylene fibers were produced. Along with these...
Rheological and morphological evolution of basaltic lava flows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
question of how pre-existing topography controls lava flow system structure in volume-limited flows (Soldati et al., accepted). I concluded that a steep slope results in a single, stable channel, whereas a gentle slope results in an unstable, braided...
