The sublethal effects of methoxyfenozide on the field orientation and courtship behavior of Cydia pomonella (Linnaeus) (Lepidoptera: tortricidae)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
The sublethal effects of ecdysone agonist methoxyfenozide on the mating behavior and field orientation of codling moth, Cydia pomonella (Linnaeus), was examined. Five different lure types were placed in the upper canopy ...
A study of parametric instability of eccentrically stiffened rectangular plates
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1974)
-dependent ordinary differential equations, were then expressed in matrix notation. The solution of the resulting matrix equation, which was assumed in the form of a Fourier series, showed that the boundary of the regions of parametric instability could be determined...
A quarterly econometric model of the United States beef sector
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1982)
The United States beef sector has been modeled in many studies, perhaps, because beef represents a large proportion of the consumer food dollar and agriculture’s income. The predictive performance of these models has been, ...
A study of the physical and chemical properties of the soil as influenced by cowpea culture
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)
In the past twenty-five years much experimental work has been done with cowpeas, in relation to cultural methods, fertilization, and variety tests, but practically nothing has been written with regard to the direct effect ...
Four decades of change in an old-growth beech-maple forest in Indiana
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Hoot Woods is a 6.6 ha old-growth beech-maple forest. Fully censused every decade since 1965, the forest is one of the most intensively monitored permanent plot stands in the eastern deciduous forest. Although it is set ...
Use of main channel and shallow-water habitat by larval fishes in the lower Missouri River
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
I developed a series of research objectives organized in a spatial hierarchy to characterize larval fish nursery habitat within the lower Missouri River. Native carpsucker spp./buffalo spp. (Carpiodes spp./Ictiobus spp.) and chub spp. (Macrhybopsis...
Technetium and rhenium schiff base complexes for nuclear medicine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
This dissertation investigates the synthesis of rhenium and technetium Schiff base complexes for potential applications in nuclear medicine. In Chapter 2, a series of mixed ligand Re(III) complexes of the form trans-[Re(PR3)2(tmf2en)]+ were prepared...
Regional site response and uppermost mantle seismic structure of central and eastern united states
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
grid-search algorithm includes the observed V[subscript Sn], V[subscript Pn] and Q[subscript Sn] with the calculated velocities of specific compositional models. The uppermost mantle temperature result, [about]300-500C, beneath the northern mid...
Examining the Impact of Childhood Adverse Experiences on Adulthood Health Related Quality of Life
(2016)
The Purpose of this study was to investigate how traumatic experiences in childhood
impact adulthood Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) among women experiencing
homelessness. HRQoL was determined to be an important ...
The price-quality relationship of lint cotton in five local markets in southeast, Missouri, 1951-1953
(University of Missouri., 1958)
improvements, if any are needed, in the marketing structure."--Page 1-2...
Spatial, temporal, and petrogenetic relationships of basaltic and lamprophyric dikes and sills of the Raton Basin, southern Colorado and northern New Mexico
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Alkali basalts and lamprophyres commonly occur as sheet intrusions along the flanks of continental rifts. The Raton Basin, on the eastern shoulder of the Rio Grande rift, is host...
An investigation of the physical properties of a sintered tungsten-nickel-iron alloy
(University of Missouri--Columbia., 1962)
"The purpose of this investigation was ( 1) to determine the physical properties and characteristics of the M-3000 alloy and its matrix; and (2) to determine the rolling and recrystallization characteristics of the M-3000 alloy. The investigation...
Metamorphism of the Wales Group and Moira Group on Prince of Wales and Dall Islands, southeastern Alaska
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
proposes conditions near 400[degrees]C at 2-4 kbar to nearly 500-550[degrees]C at 10 kbar. These calculated P-T conditions suggest regional metamorphism for the M2 and M3 events.--From public.pdf....
The survival and growth of shortleaf pine systems in the Missouri Ozarks : effects of competition, genetics, and site preparation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
survival and growth rates of planted shortleaf pine relative to artificial and natural hardwoods, identify barriers to regeneration success, and develop tools for individual tree assessment. Data from three long-term studies in southeastern Missouri were...
Regional patterns of presettlement forests in the Boston mountains of northwest Arkansas
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
While diverse, mixed mesophytic forests are primarily found in the Appalachian Highlands, strikingly similar forests are noted as occurring in protected slopes and coves within the Boston Mountains of northwestern Arkansas. This project uses General...
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...
Radiotracers for examining biological functions of plants and microbes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
uptake but had no ncement effect on allocation or zinc seed filling. Carbon metabolism in response to stresses and microbial interaction was also investigated in maize with [11C]CO2 (t [subscript 1/2] = 20.4 m) radiotracer. In association with A...
Pottery production at Fort Hill (27CH85) a seventeenth-century refugee community in northern New England
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This thesis formulates a model for explaining stylistic, functional, and compositional diversity in ceramic artifacts produced during the contact period (A.D. 1590...
Assessing single- and dual-process accounts of recognition memory using hierarchical Bayesian models
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
to assess the veracity of previous claims. The results of this hierarchical modeling suggest that 1) ROC asymmetry, which has served as strong evidence for particular one and two-process model, is not an artifact of averaging, 2) The Yonelinas two...
