Cotton and maize primary root growth responses to water deficit : comparative physiological and metabolic analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and maize (Zea mays L.) are important economic crops that can suffer significant yield loss under drought. Cotton and maize root systems have fundamentally different architectures, in addition to cotton being a...
Analysis and design of reinforced concrete wall systems for blast
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
/prestressed concrete and insulated tilt-up concrete sandwich panels for exterior walls is common practice. These forms of construction provide a thermally efficient and high-mass wall that enhances the energy efficiency and blast resistance of the building making...
Chemical modifications to produce soy-based polyols
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
for further reaction to form polyols in a batch reactor. Two different heat polymerization approaches were studied: non-catalyzed and catalyzed soybean oil using as catalyst. A continuous flow reactor was designed to evaluate and compare with the batch reactor...
Biotic interactions in the fossil record: an investigation on the patterns of predation and parasitism of Plio-Pleistocene bivalves from the Nashua Formation of Florida
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
representing 34 genera among 21 families. Traces indicative of predatory drill holes were the dominant trace type (7.7 percent; n=154) followed by trematode-induced pits and igloo-like structures (2.2 percent; n=45) and polydorid-induced traces (1.7 percent; n...
Two brief treatments based on dialectical behavior therapy for binge eating across diagnoses and thresholds : results from a preliminary randomized dismantling study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
for stepped care and avenues for future research, including replication with a larger sample, further dismantling (e.g., DBT vs. behavior chain analysis; DBT vs. mindful eating), and comparison with other available treatments (e.g., treatment as usual; CBT...
Passive representation and the client-bureaucrat relationship: communication and demand inducement in the patient-provider relationship
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The ways that passive representation could produce substantive benefits for the clients of a bureaucracy irrespective of active representation are an understudied aspect of the theory of representative bureaucracy. Further, the use of data...
Increasing land and forage utilization by Missouri cow/calf operations using silvopasture practices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
times during the two-year period. It was determined that a silvopasture practice can in fact be productive under grazing pressure if managed correctly. Samples of cool season grasses, warm season grasses, and legumes were collected at similar maturities...
