Cover crop effects on corn plant water uptake and soil health
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Cover crops (CC), close growing crops that provide soil and seeding protection between periods of normal cash crop production or between trees in ...
Seeing through satire : how contemporary American fiction critiques the world
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] In this dissertation, I argue some contemporary authors intermingle modes of satire and transparency to encourage a twenty-first century reading ...
Optimization of bitterness in chocolate through roasting with analysis of related changes in important bitter compounds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
variance,was created. Chemical and sensory analysis of the roasted chocolate treatments were carried out, followed by in-depth data analysis and interpretation in the context of current chocolate science. Specifically, the aqueous 70% N...

A multi-dimensional investigation into the effects of flooding on the physical, chemical and biotic properties of riparian soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Understanding soil abiotic and biotic influences on ecosystem processes will enhance success of riparian restoration efforts. The goal of this research was to characterize changes in soil chemical and microbial community ...
Load transfer in reticulated and non-reticulated micropiles from large-scale tests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Using micropiles for slope stabilization is a proven technique but there are many uncertainties with how load is transferred from the soil to the structural elements. A large-scale model was constructed to test model slopes ...
Examination of metabolic and regulatory networks of desulfovibrio species
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)
The sulfate-reducing bacteria are a morphologically diverse group of organisms characterized by the ability to couple the enzymatic reduction of sulfate to energy production and growth. This metabolic activity has profound ...
Load transfer in micropiles for slope stabilization from tests of large-scale physical models
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The objective of this work is to provide experimental data to improve prediction of limit loads for micropiles in slope stabilization applications. The experimental data were obtained from tests of 1-g model slopes 8 ft ...

Phosphinimines as potential technetium environmental sensors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Phosphinimines, R₃P=NSiMe₃, undergo hydrolysis to form the phosphiniminiumcation, R₃P=NH₂+, which forms the ion pair [R₃P=NH₂+][X-] in the presence of an anion.Preliminary studies show that in the presence of TcO₄-, ...
Monitoring of an urban level spreader as part of the collaborative adaptive management process
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Irregular flows, such as the high flows caused by stormwater runoff after a rain event are a major cause of stream impairment in urbanized watersheds. The Hinkson Creek CAM (Collaborative Adaptive Management) approach is ...
