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...

Investigation upon the nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and ash content of three beef animals, with special study upon the forms of sulfur
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)
This thesis explores the chemical composition of beef cattle, with special attention given to nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and ash content. A review of previous research is provided as well as a description of an experiment carried out...
Winter bird densities and eastern wood-pewee breeding demography across a savanna-woodland-forest gradient in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
and woodland is needed to inform management. Our objective was to determine densities of common winter migrants and resident birds in savannas, woodlands, and non-managed forests in the Missouri Ozark Highlands. We estimated detection probabilities...
Effects of dormant season soil flooding and soil temperature on pin oak (Quercus palustris) seedlings
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
. During soil flooding, root mass was significantly less in flooded seedlings than those that were not flooded. However, following drainage this difference was no longer present. By the end of the experiment, seedlings that received flooding exhibited...
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...

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 ...
Characterization of diverse soybean genotypes for phosphorus uptake and use efficiency
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
