Hydrodynamic characteristics and capillary-assisted heat transfer enhancement of non-condensing/condensing two-phase flows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Interfacial characteristics of two-phase flows were studied through visualization experiments and numerical simulation using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based on the volume-of-fluid (VOF)-continuum surface force (CSF) method...
Nitrogen management strategies to improve corn growth and reduce soil greenhouse gas emissions from claypan soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Adoption of nitrogen (N) management strategies to minimize gaseous N loss from agriculture while maintaining high yield production is increasingly important for an exponentially growing population. Agricultural management on poorly-drained claypan...
Forging a national diet : beef and the political economy of plenty in postwar America
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Few foods items are more associated with the United States than beef yet it was not until the 1950s that Americans ate more beef than any other meat. The triumph of mass beef consumption was not accidental or a preordained ...
Forgotten landmark: the Municipal Auditorium of Kansas City, Missouri
(2013)
The Municipal Auditorium is a grand civic building in downtown Kansas City, Missouri, which encompasses venues for theater, music and athletics. Designed by Gentry, Voskamp, and Neville, and associated architects, Hoit, Price, and Barnes, and built...
Value addition to acid whey from Greek yogurt processing with millets (kodo and proso) for development of nutritious food products
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
The disconnect between massive demand and abundant supply of food has resulted in millions of people suffering from hunger and billion metric tons of food being wasted. Circular food economy could be a solution to the problem, whereby...
Tensile strength, shear strength, and effective stress for unsaturated sand
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
It is generally accepted in geotechnical engineering that non-cohesive materials such as sands exhibit no or negligible tensile strength. However, there is significant evidence that interparticle forces arising from capillary ...
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...
Computational studies of gases adsorbed on graphene-like materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Functional Theory. We observe a monotonic increase of the interlayer spacing consistent with experiments only for a model of benzene-1,4-diboronic acid (DBA) molecules bonded covalently to graphene on both sides of the pore at random orientations...
A GIS protocol for enhancing the selection of agricultural runoff sampling locations and predicting the locations of potential pollutant transport in the upland environment
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
employed by the protocol allow for its use in various geographic regions. The methodology has been performed on sites in Linn County and Boone County, Missouri, and produces results consistent with those expected from other widely accepted methods...
Songs from behind the curtain, an opera in three acts
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-01-25)
Songs from Behind the Curtain is the story of Pascal Baur, a damaged composer
in 1980's Hartford, who, as the musical director of the Hartford Opera Company, is
encoding Soviet messages into his operas. Within the operas ...
Evaluation and development of first order fire effects mortality model predictions for eastern hardwood forests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
The First Order Fire Effects Model (FOFEM) is a useful tool for predicting fire-induced mortality in western coniferous forests. However, it lacks robust models for eastern hardwood species. Managers in the eastern United ...
Sensory analysis of low fat strawberry ice creams prepared with different flavor chemicals and fat mimetics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
. FuraneolTM was perceived more strongly in full-fat ice cream, while cis-3-hexen-1-ol, [alpha]- ionone, [gamma]-undecalactone and ethyl-3-methyl-3-phenylglycidate were perceived more strongly in low-fat ice cream. However, ice creams with Simplesse(R...
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 ...
An assessment of UAV technology and shattercane population dynamics to improve pest management
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) outfitted for pesticide application have the potential to improve application efficiency under conditions challenging for traditional, ground-based equipment. UAV-applied treatments had 21-32 ...
An ecological study of American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius L.) in the Missouri Ozark Highlands: effects of herbivory and harvest, ecological characterization and wild simulated cultivation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Matrix population analysis was used to analyze eight years of demographic data from six American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius L.) populations in east-central Missouri to examine effects of herbivory by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus Zimm...
Wildlife response to spatial and temporal changes in forest habitat
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
A common goal in land-management planning is to describe the relationship between management actions, vegetation and wildlife habitat conditions for large landscapes. Achieving this goal can be challenging because ecological ...
