The identification of prehistoric Amazonian slash-and-burn cultivation practices using agent-based modeling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The Amazonian Slash-and-Burn Model and the Succession Model, both agentbased models, were developed to help address how much influence prehistoric Amazonian populations practicing slash-and-burn cultivation had on their ...
Genetic architecture and marker-assisted breeding for salt tolerance in soybean
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses that inhibits plant growth and causes seed yield loss in soybean. Although a major gene for salt tolerance on chromosome (Chr.) 3 was mapped, cloned and characterized, it does ...
Processing of synthetic aperture radar data as applied to the characterization of localized deformation features
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Satellite-based Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) has been used by the geoscience community for many years to obtain ground deformation measurements of large-scale spatial features. Researchers have also ...

(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The main objective of this study is the analysis of the impacts of the Korean-United States Free Trade Agreement. On April 2, 2007, Korea and the United States concluded a...
The effects of physical activity on adipose tissue metabolism and DNA methylation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
The increased prevalence of obesity and diabetes threatens both the real and economic health of Western counties. There were two major goals of this dissertation, 1) to determine if in response to inactivity and hyperphagia ...
The validity of morphological features and osteological markers in reconstructing habitual activities
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Bony morphological features have been used to reflect biomechanical behavioral patterns among archaeological populations. Of most recent ones is the anterior femoral curvature (AFC). It has been proposed as a valid indicator ...
A Worldwide bibliography of Elateridae
(Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station University of Missouri-Columbia, 1988)
Local free convection to non-Newtonian fluids from a horizontal, isothermal cylinder
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1972)
The transfer of heat between a body surface and the motionless fluid surrounding it is perhaps one of the most naturally occurring physical phenomena. Undoubtedly interest and speculation regarding this natural or free ...
