Environmental physiology and shelter engineering with special reference to domestic animals. LX, Vaporization rates in Brown Swiss, Holstein, and Jersey calves during growth at constant 50 degrees and 80 degrees temperatures
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1962)
Design criteria for bottom-withdrawal (lake-cleaning) spillway (1993)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1993)
A pond or lake equipped with a bottom-withdrawal spillway will store the highest-quality water possible for a reservoir in a given location. This is desirable when the reservoir will provide water for municipalities, ...
Noise : the invisible hazard (1997)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1997)
Farm workers experience one of the highest rates of hearing loss among all occupations. This is due in part to the many potential sources of loud noise on the farm: tractors, combines, grinders, choppers, shotguns, conveyors, ...
Electrical Safety for Center Pivot Irrigation Systems (1993)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1993)
Many irrigators have received minor tingles while working around electrical irrigation machinery. Under pressure to keep the system running, they tend to ignore warning signs until serious injury occurs. Two electrical ...
Saving energy with passive systems (1993)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1993)
One of the first ways solar energy was used in agriculture was to modify climatic extremes in cold livestock housing by using passive techniques. Passive techniques are extremely cost effective because they generally add ...
Spray mix calculations (1997)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1997)
Liquid pesticide sprayers must apply the proper amount of a carefully mixed spray solution to be effective in controlling weed and insect pests. This publication describes procedures for determining how much pesticide to ...
Reducing pond seepage (1997)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1997)
Excessive seepage from farm ponds is a serious problem in several areas of Missouri. Seepage can be caused by many conditions, such as highly permeable soils, continuous sand or gravel seams, highly permeable bedrock and ...
On the Energy of Rotating Gravitational Waves
(arXiv, 1996)
A class of solutions of the gravitational field equations describing vacuum spacetimes outside rotating cylindrical sources is presented. A subclass of these solutions corresponds to the exterior gravitational fields of ...
Neutron-diffraction study of the solid layers at the liquid-solid boundary in 4He films adsorbed on graphite
(American Physical Society, 1981)
A neutron scattering study of the structure of 4He films adsorbed on graphite is reported. Diffraction from helium monolayers at a temperature of 1.2 K shows the formation of an incommensurate, triangular-lattice solid ...
Collective Excitations in Ethane Monolayers Adsorbed on Graphite (0001) Surfaces
(American Physical Society, 1984)
Inelastic incoherent neutron spectra below 4.1 THz have been obtained for the √3×4 "herringbone" and √3×√3 "on-end" monolayer phases of ethane adsorbed on graphite basal planes. One-phonon cross sections calculated ...
Effects of Altered Prenatal Hormonal Environment on Expression of Autoimmune Disease in NZB/NZW Mice
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 1996)
F1 hybrid New Zealand Black (NZB) x New Zealand White (NZW) (NZB/NZW) mice spontaneously develop an autoimmune disease analogous to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) . Testosterone exerts a powerful suppressive effect on ...
Economic analysis of coal log pipeline transportation of coal
(Capsule Pipeline Research Center, 1993)
This economic report is a refinement and an update of a 1990 study conducted by Liu and Wu that compares the cost of transporting coal from mines to power plants by coal log pipeline (CPL) with other modes of transportation ...
Design of an Epidemiologic Study of Drinking Water Arsenic Exposure and Skin and Bladder Cancer Risk in a U.S. Population
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 1999)
Ingestion of arsenic-contaminated drinking water is associated with an increased risk of several cancers, including skin and bladder malignancies; but it is not yet clear whether such adverse effects are present at levels ...
The Vicissitudes of Common-Sense Virtue Ethics, Part II: The Heuristic Use of Common Sense
(Kluwer, 1998)
In the first part of this study, I compared the ways in which Aristotle and Michael Slote utilize common sense, meaning the opinions and intuitions of the majority of people or some reference group among them. Both ...
Environmental physiology and shelter engineering with special reference to domestic animals. XXIII, The effect of humidity on insensible weight loss, total vaporized moisture, and surface temperature in cattle
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1953)
Environmental physiology with special reference to domestic animals. V, Influence of temperature, 50 degrees to 105 degrees F., on water consumption in dairy cattle
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1949)
Shri Sayajirao Gaikwad, Maharaja of Baroda: the prime promoter of public libraries
(University of Missouri International Library Center, 1992)
Maharaja Sayajirao III, Gaikwad of Baroda (1863-1939) was inspired by the progress of American public libraries during his visits to this country. He invited William Alanson Borden (1853-1931) to provide similar library ...
On some classes of non-analytic functions of a complex variable
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1909)
The fact, namely, that the analytic functions are a very limited and special class, with the additional fact that there seems to be no reason a priori why many of the theorems concerning analytic functions cannot be extended ...
Corral systems for handling and sorting hogs (1993)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1993)
Construction of semi-confinement feeding floors for swine has increased in recent years. Available plans concentrate on design of the confinement area and feed handling. As producers expand, they need more efficient ways ...
Storing Poultry Litter (1993)
(University of Missouri Extension, 1993)
Missouri turkey and broiler operations accumulate litter in the production buildings during flock cycles. Litter is removed and spread or stockpiled for later application. Minimal cleanout may be undertaken after each ...
