(4+3)-cycloaddition chemists of oxidopyridinium ions and related study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
The (4+3)-cycloaddition reaction is a cycloaddition between a 4-atom species and a 3-atom species to form a seven-membered ring. This reaction results in the formation of seven-membered rings. Our research expanded the ...
Modeling the influence of climate and management practices on water quality in Goodwater Creek experimental watershed
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The objective of this study was to determine relationships among weather, runoff, water quality, and best management practice (BMP) implementation in reducing atrazine losses in the 7,250-ha Goodwater Creek Experimental ...
Greenhouse gas emissions and soil microbial activity for selected land use systems in floodplains
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
(saturated, field capacity, and fluctuation) did not affect soil bacterial richness in three selected land management substantially, the greater soil C content and extensive root systems in treed areas could increase the abundance of some microorganisms like...
Roost site selection by Indiana bats (Myotis sodalis) and comparison of foraging habitat selection by morphologically similar bat species in bottomland hardwood ecosystems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] While bottomland hardwoods used to encompass a large portion of the south-central United States, due to clear cutting for agriculture and other purposes, ...
Investigations into the chemistry of protein tyrosine phosphatase redox regulation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Transmission of complex intracellular signals, such as those for glucose uptake or proliferation, is often accomplished through the reversible phosphorylation of specific protein tyrosine residues. This reversible ...
Novel techniques towards improving helical tomotherapy delivery and quality assurance

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] TomoTherapy (TomoTherapy, Inc., Madison, WI), an Image-Guided Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IG-IMRT) modality, has been used to treat a variety ...
The molecules that move us : evaluating potential genetic and molecular determinants of physical activity motivation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
activity, speaks to the notion that we were not designed to be sedentary. That said, physical inactivity remains a major contributor to at least 40 non-communicable diseases, of which heart disease, type-2 diabetes, depression, anxiety, and dementia remain...
Effects of large fires on boreal forests of China : historical reconstruction and future prediction through landscape modeling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Boreal forests of China store about 350 Tg tree biomass carbon, which is approximately 24–31 [percent] of the total forest carbon storage in China, and thus, play an important role in maintain national carbon balance. ...
Three essays on phosphorus runoff and water quality
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
efforts to limit both residential and agricultural nonpoint source pollution. The results could be helpful policy makers to target specific regions to initiate environmental policies and extension efforts for designing educational programs to increase...
Computational studies of three chemical systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
The subject of this dissertation is the use of electronic structure calculations to examine and supplement the experimental observations of three different chemical systems. Both ab initio and DFT methods have been employed. ...
Tales of an 'invisible' life stage : survival and physiology among terrestrial juvenile ambystomatid salamanders
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
The vital rates (e.g., survival, growth, and reproduction) of distinct life stages within a species are known to influence the growth and persistence of populations. As such, studies describing stage-specific vital rates, ...
Microstructural and environmental effects on fretting fatigue
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1977)
One of the primary causes of premature fatigue failures is a phenomenon known as fretting. The research leading to this paper consisted of developing information regarding microstructural and environmental effects on ...
Supplemental irrigation for Missouri and regions of similar rainfall
(University of Missouri, 1945)
"It is the purpose of this bulletin to summarize the possibilities of supplemental irrigation for Missouri and regions of similar rainfall, to adapt successful practices elsewhere to Missouri conditions, to warn against ...

Rheological and morphological evolution of basaltic lava flows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Over 500 million people live in proximity of an active volcano globally. Although lava flows rarely endanger human life, they often destroy critical infrastructure. Advancing our understanding of lava flow dynamics is ...
Modeling of molecular and particulate transport in dry spent nuclear fuel canisters
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
There are two important phenomena associated with the depressurization of a dry spent nuclear fuel canister after the formation of a through-wall pinhole breach. The first phenomenon is the release from the canister of any ...
