Upper Shoal Creek Watershed: Water Quality Analysis
(Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) at the University of Missouri-Columbia, 2004-02)
FAPRI, with significant input from the local community, has developed this analysis defining how current agricultural practices in the upper Shoal Creek Watershed affect water quality....
Occupancy modeling of forest carnivores in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
My research used infrared remote cameras, trackplate boxes, and scat transects to survey for carnivores at 53 sites throughout the southern forested region of Missouri. Cameras and track-plates both detected Eastern spotted skunk (Spilogale putorius...
Investigation of transportation innovations for food delivery and truck platoons
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
discusses the novel issue of driver behavior interacting with truck platoons in work zones. This research investigates the effects of education, platoon signage, and the number of platooned trucks using a federated simulator study. The study found...
Avian nest survival and breeding density in cottonwood plantations and native forest fragments in southeast Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
I compared nest survival and breeding density between native bottomland forest and cottonwood (Populus deltoides) plantations over a three-year period for Acadian Flycatcher (Empidonax virescens), Prothonotary Warbler ...
A study of the property rights constraints in US agricultural cooperatives : theory and evidence
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1998)
This research addresses the issue of efficient user-owned and controlled organizational design. Using agricultural cooperatives as an example set of user-owned and controlled institutional arrangements, the economic issue examined is the degree...
Intraguild interactions between native and domestic carnivores in central India
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Bustard Sanctuary, Maharashtra, India and assessed resource selection based on landcover characteristics. Indian foxes chose for grassland habitats at the scale of both landscape and home-range level and avoided human-dominated areas such as agricultural...
The killing of plant tissue by low temperature
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
-soaked appearance, and evaporation from that tissue is much more rapid than from living tissue. In the experiments described in this paper, the killing temperature of plant tissue that kills at relatively high temperature has been reduced whenever the sap density...
Integrating cover crops into crop rotations in upstate Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
"There is an increasing emphasis on management strategies such as reduced tillage, use of cover crops, and implementation of conservation practices (i.e. terraces, no-till, and cropping systems) in Missouri cropping systems. By combining best...
The demography of Atlantic brant (Branta bernicla hrota)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
for greatest understanding of population level processes and to inform prioritization of conservation efforts for Atlantic brant. Future brant research should focus on nutrient dynamics of James Bay staging areas, identifying core breeding areas and quantifying...
An investigation of the perception of factors associated with daily living activities of comprehensive psychiatric rehabilitation consumers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] For the last 60 years, there has been an increasing number of American adults identified as suffering from one or more severe diagnosable mental disorders that reduce...
Multi-scale factors influencing detection, site occupancy and resource use by foraging bats in the Ozark Highlands of Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Conservation of bat populations requires understanding the associations between bats and their use of resources. We used maximum likelihood to estimate probability of site occupancy using acoustic data for ten species of ...
Designing a LANDIS PRO harvest module and examining the effects of temporal resolution on simulation outcomes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
The development and testing of forest landscape models is an ongoing process. This thesis documents a portion of this process working with the LANDIS PRO 7.0 forest landscape model in two parts. In the first chapter I ...
The role of terrrestrial habitat in the population dynamics and conservation of pond-breeding amphibians
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
populations in Missouri.The results of my dissertation research indicate that the quantity and quality of terrestrial habitat available to pond-breeding amphibians can have substantial population level consequences including increased extinction probabilities...
Rheological and morphological evolution of basaltic lava flows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
the following research questions: (1) How does the rheology of active flows evolve during emplacement; and (2) How can we use flow morphology to infer the rheology of inactive flows? ... At Piton de La Fournaise (La R�union, FR DOM), I addressed the longstanding...
Drainage water management practices affect water quality, soil properties, and crop production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
. This dissertation includes results from four studies conducted at the MU Greenley Research Center, Grace Greeley farm, and Ross Jones farm. Long-term, no-till research evaluated the influence of a wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), radish (Raphanus raphanistrum subsp...
