Synthesis and reactivity of low-valent uranium and neptunium complexes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
reduced quinone. This represents a rare example of high-valent uranium chemistry as well as a rare example of a neptunium aryloxide complex. In Chapters 2 and 3 the synthesis and characterization of a rare U(III) hydrocarbyl complex, U[[eta]4-Me2NC(H)C6H5]3...
The use of geomorphological and pedological soil characteristics to assess planar borrowing at a Mandan Indian village, North Dakota
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
The Double Ditch State Historic Site is situated in a loess landscape immediately east of the Missouri River near Bismarck, North Dakota. The site was occupied from ca AD 1450 to 1785 by Mandan Indians, Plains Villagers who exhibited a systematic...
Nanomechanical property characterization of femoral head materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Orthopedic Implants under long-term physiological loading could produce changes in the surface mechanical properties and possible failure. The knowledge of mechanical properties...
The use of fats in cooking
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)
The cost of food is the all important question at the present time. Our people must be fed. The problem is to discover what available foods will give the most nutritive value at a minimum cost. When we observe that a pound ...
A simultaneous equation analysis of selected terminal hog markets
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1971)
declined from about thirty percent to approximately eighteen percent, while direct buying and purchases through auction markets have increased. As the volume of hogs traded in terminal markets declines, the protection of consumers' welfare, as well...
An in depth evaluation of internal criteria for determining the number of clusters in a data set
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[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...
Plasticity of soybean (Glycine max (l.) Merrill) root system development under mild water deficit
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
soybean genotypes selected from both domestic and Plant Introduction lines were studied. The results showed substantial genetic diversity in the capacity for increased lateral root development (number and total length of roots produced...
Numerical solutions to the Poisson equation in media surrounding multiple arbitrarily shaped bodies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The dissertation describes a general, efficient, and parallelized approach to solving the Poisson equation in the volume surrounding multiple, arbitrarily shaped bodies. Green...
The kinetics of non-catalyzed supercritical water reforming of ethanol
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
feed rate was varied between 6.4 g/min and 19.7 g/min, the ethanol feed rate was varied between 0.17 g/min and 2.2 g/min, and the pressure was fixed at 24.2 MPa. All ethanol fed was converted into gaseous products: hydrogen, carbon dioxide, methane...
Pluton source varition over two magmatic pulses in the white-inyo range, central-eastern California : implications for paleozoic and mesozoic tectonic reconstructions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This dissertation uses compositions of plutons in the White-Inyo Range (WIR) of central-eastern California, which is an important tectonic boundary as it is the easternmost...
Carbon dioxide adsorption on carbonized cigarette filters
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
filters as carbon precursor and urea as nitrogen source, by varying the urea concentration and carbonization temperature investigating their CO2 adsorption capacities. Through TGA test, the sorbent 12M700C was found to have the largest CO2 capacity....
Sex variability
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1919)
The question of variation has long been of interest to scientists. Since the time of Darwin we find investigators endeavoring to determine which sex is the more variable. In a well known controversy on this subject between ...
Effects of amending a gravel based growing medium with calcined clay on medium physical properties and growth of Gymnocladus dioicus seedlings
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The Missouri Gravel Bed (MGB) is a system that uses pea gravel with 10% sand (v/v) as a root growth medium, allowing bare root plants to be removed from the gravel and planted...
A genetic approach to determine river otter abundance in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
's effects on sport fish populations have sparked controversy. The MDC responded by increasing efforts to monitor river otter populations, using latrine site counts to measure relative abundance across several rivers in Missouri. However, the actual number...
Local free convection to non-Newtonian fluids from a horizontal, isothermal cylinder
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1972)
. These experimental results involved Newtonian fluids, and since that time volumes have been devoted to the subject. Only in recent years has attention been focused on the commonly encountered, yet rheologically more complex, non-Newtonian class of fluid. It is within...
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...
Pulsatile viscous flow in flexible-elastic tubes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1971)
The flow of an incompressible viscous fluid through a circular tube has received considerable attention during the past fifteen years, both for steady flow and for pulsatile flow. The practical application of blood flow ...
