Impacts of soil management practices on soil fertility in potato-based cropping systems in the Bolivian Andean highlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Due to changes in climate and socioeconomic developments, current soil management practices in the Bolivian Andean Highlands may be increasing soil degradation thereby threatening food security. A study was established in four representative...

, phonon calculation, and mechanical and spectroscopic properties for GaN, C-doped GaN, and Fe-GaN crystals. The parameter values were subsequently used in a TCAD tool to compute trans- port properties and breakdown voltage of GaN, C-doped GaN, and Fe...
Show-me regional profile
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division., 1974)
, and in assessing their strengths, weaknesses, and potentials. It is also hoped that these profiles will fortify the concept of planning and working together on a regional basis. The U.S. Bureau of the Census, with its variety of documents, has served as one...
Manual process productivity measurement : for Pre-registration Department in University of Missouri Healthcare
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
of labor intensity or the index of work load) can be defined. In this study, a simulation tool was used to identify the metrics for productivity in a pre-registration department at an academic health center. Based on the results of the simulation...
Anthropogenic effects on soil physical, chemical, and biological properties in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
were collected after rainfall events from pre-harvest until 2015. The samples were analyzed for AlT; Br-; Ca2+; CL-; DOC (dissolved organic carbon); EC (electrical conductivity); F-; K+; Mg2+; Na+; NH4+; NO2-; NO3-; pH; PO43- SO42-; and TN (total...
Flipping the switch : regulation of proliferation and differentiation in adult muscle stem cells
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
of skeletal muscle is exhausted. The potential of stem cells in regenerative medicine lies in the ability to remove them from their natural niche, inducing them to proliferate in culture and placing functional cells back into a tissue environment. In order...

Isolation, characterization, and diagnosis of murine noroviruses, a newly recognized pathogen of mice
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
norovirus reported to infect research mice. We describe the isolation of 3 novel murine norovirus strains -- NV-2, MNV-3, and MNV-4 -- that caused persistent infections and prolonged fecal shedding in inoculated mice. These findings are markedly different...
Assessing costs and environmental impacts of municipal food waste treatment options in Columbia, Missouri : a decision support tool integrating life cycle analysis and robust optimization
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Many municipal governments currently have goals in place to align with global efforts and policy to reduce greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions and take advantage of waste as a resource for renewable energy and nutrients. To meet specified goals...
The potential of producing bioenergy crops on conservation reserve program land in Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas (MINK Region) to mitigate carbon dioxide emissions : an integrated economics and biological modeling approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
and conservation tillage practices. Results on economic effects of reverting CRP land into traditional crop production show a decline in prices of major U.S. commodities and federal government saving of nearly $ 1.7 billion annually on CRP rental payments. Putting...
Assessing the feasibility and acceptability of a Health Action Process Approach physical activity and sedentary behavior self-guided workbook in rural adults with Type 2 diabetes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Physical inactivity and increased amounts of time spent sedentary pose a significant health risk for adults with Type 2 diabetes (T2DM); increasing physical activity (PA) and reducing sedentary behavior can improve diabetes outcomes. Rural adults...
Novel chemical mechanisms of DNA damage by natural products
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
the molecule's potent cytotoxicity. So we studied the structure of the nucleoside analogue leinamycin -- guanosine by NMR (1D, 2D) and proposed a probable mechanism for its rapid depurination event. It has been shown from earlier studies, that leinamycin does...
Investigations of Mississippi valley-type mineralizing fluids via analytical geochemistry, numerical modeling, and experimental geochemistry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
