Gene expression profiling of bovine ovarian follicular selection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Lack of, or abnormal, ovarian follicular development is a major factor associated with impaired fertility in mammals. However, development of new treatments is limited by our poor understanding of ovarian follicular ...
Felix convivum : platters and transformations of dining behavior in the Roman world
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Most people in the Roman world used ceramic tableware, despite its absence in iconographical and in literary sources. This observation leads to many ...
Do stock prices influence corporate tax behavior?
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
This study examines how the firm-specific information in stock prices influences corporate tax behavior. Research demonstrates that managers learn from and respond to information contained in stock prices. However, the ...
Coating thickness measurements using pulsed eddy currents
(University of Missouri, 1955)
"The nondestructive measurement of the thickness of one metal coated or clad upon another metal as a base has been studied for the past twenty years or more. If one of the metals is magnetic, the problem is relatively ...
Three essays on the competitiveness of the US corn seed industry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This dissertation provides an analysis of various aspects of the competitivity of the US corn seed industry. In the first essay I develop a price ...
A genetic linkage map of the fungus phycomyces blakesleeanus for gene identification by map-based cloning
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012)
The Mucoromycotina is one of the basal lineages in the fungi, all of which are poorly understood. Mucormycosis is a life threatening infection caused by fungi of the order Mucorales, the most common species of which is ...
Evaluating the financial performance of commercial banks in Iraq under the Corona pandemic using the CAMELS criterion
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2022)
Due to environmental factors such as the Corona pandemic and capital adequacy and liquidity requirements, the financial performance of commercial banks has been poor. Researchers and policymakers are required to focus on ...
Understanding genome composition of eusocial hymenopteran insects
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Genome sequencing of the Western honey bee (Apis mellifera), a model for the biology and evolution of eusocial behavior, has revealed unusual genome compositional characteristics, including a low but heterogeneous GC ...
Transgenerational effects of in utero heat stress on reproduction in pigs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
found between litters born to GHS or GTN females at the University of Missouri Swine Teaching Farm. Female progeny (generation 1; G1) from both GTN and GHS mothers remained on farm and were artificially inseminated at second estrus. During the 8th week...
Effects of low crude protein diets with amino acid supplementation on broiler performance in the starter period
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
A series of experiments were conducted to examine the effects of feeding low crude protein (CP) corn and soybean meal diets with crystalline amino acid supplementation to broilers from 0-3 weeks of age. It was hypothesized ...

Dust formation and evolution around carbon stars
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Evolved intermediate-mass stars with carbon-to-oxygen ratios (C/O) above unity are known as carbon stars. Carbon stars are surrounded by dust shells dominated by carbon (C) and silicon carbide (SiC) grains. These SiC grains ...
Design and construction of helmholtz coil for biomagnetic studies on soybean
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
A Helmholtz coil with a large usable area of uniform field was designed, constructed and characterized, specifically for bioelectric studies. The design and analysis of the coil were carried out through experiments and the ...
Detection of gust fronts using the doppler velocity derived divergence product
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Identifying gust fronts can be essential for situational awareness when developing nowcasts during convective events. In addition to bearing potentially damaging winds, gust fronts also act as forcing mechanisms; influencing ...
