(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Within the scholarship of work-life, there are many opportunities for new research, including expanding the voices of men and couples through examining how couples continue to co-construct their concerns. Using Ashcraft ...
Ratiometric techniques to determine fluid viscosity using molecular rotors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Molecular rotors exhibit viscosity-dependent quantum yield, potentially allowing measurements of fluid viscosity in non-mechanical manner. Several diseases are accompanied by blood plasma viscosity changes; therefore, a ...
Degendering and regendering : recomposing masculinities through anti-sexist masculinity projects
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
This is an interview study of anti-sexist men who are engaged in dissident masculinity politics in their everyday lives. I discuss the importance of adopting a cultural analysis that looks at practices and discourse and ...
Role of the Arabidopsis peptide transporter AtOPT6 in heavy metal detoxification and plant-pathogen interaction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
AtOPT6, is a member of oligopeptide transport (OPT) gene family. In Arabidopsis thaliana, there are nine members in the OPT gene family that are thought to be involved in peptide transport. Spacial and temporal expression ...
Management alternatives for urea use in corn and wheat production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Traditionally, urea has been incorporated to avoid losses of N by ammonia volatilization. However, this option is not available when topdressing wheat. The objective of this project is to evaluate several strategies designed ...

Fertilizer effects on soil pH, soil nutrients, and nutrient uptake in swamp white and pin oak seedlings on an alkaline Missouri River bottomland
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
There is growing interest among forest and wildlife managers in the reforestation of bottomlands with mast producing hardwoods in the Lower Missouri River and Mississippi River Alluvial valleys. However, it is common for ...
A study of parametric excitation applied to a MEMS tuning fork gyroscope
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The current MEMS ( gyroscopes which normally use the electro static force to excite the comb drive are faced with the limitations such as low precision, coupling problem, and poor robustness. We propose to use parametric ...
Policy and program incentives and the adoption of agroforestry in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
More landowners in the USA are concerned about management of their lands and natural resources in light of the negative effects of many agricultural practices on the environment. Land conservation program incentives, which ...
The effects of physical activity on adipose tissue metabolism and DNA methylation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
that the increase in abdominal WAT during inactivity occurs even when food intake is restricted to the level of always-sedentary animals. A follow-up study (chapter 3) showed that the increase in WAT is not associated with a decrease in acid oxidation adipocytes...
