Effect of plagioclase crystallization on liquid and magma viscosity in the Anorthite-diopside-dorsterite-quartz system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
SiO2 (CMAS) glasses were synthesized as analogs for dacitic and basaltic lavas. Liquid viscosities were measured between 101 and 1013 Pa s, over the temperature range of approximately 1600 to 700⁰C, using concentric cylinder and parallel plate...
Effects of amending a gravel based growing medium with calcined clay on medium physical properties and growth of Gymnocladus dioicus seedlings
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The Missouri Gravel Bed (MGB) is a system that uses pea gravel with 10% sand (v/v) as a root growth medium, allowing bare root plants to be removed from the gravel and planted...
The use of fats in cooking
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)
The cost of food is the all important question at the present time. Our people must be fed. The problem is to discover what available foods will give the most nutritive value at a minimum cost. When we observe that a pound ...
An inventory control model for fertilizer retailers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1975)
Introduction and literature review: The demand for fertilizer is highly seasonal in nature with peak demand periods in the spring and again in the fall. In contrast, fertilizer is manufactured year-round in order to take ...
Local free convection to non-Newtonian fluids from a horizontal, isothermal cylinder
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1972)
. These experimental results involved Newtonian fluids, and since that time volumes have been devoted to the subject. Only in recent years has attention been focused on the commonly encountered, yet rheologically more complex, non-Newtonian class of fluid. It is within...
Nanomechanical property characterization of femoral head materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Orthopedic Implants under long-term physiological loading could produce changes in the surface mechanical properties and possible failure. The knowledge of mechanical properties...
Ligands for the sigma receptor and the mu-opioid receptor
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The sigma receptor is a unique receptor family with two subtypes: sigma-1 and sigma-2. In order to conduct structure-activity relationship studies (SAR), a series of specific 1-phenylpropyl-4-benzylpiperidine and 1-phenylpropyl-4- benzylpiperazine...
Associations between psychosis risk and emotional distress disorders with cortical surface morphometry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Neuroimaging studies have consistently found structural cortical abnormalities in schizophrenia, especially in structural hubs. However, it is unclear what...
Impacts of municipal wastewater effluent on seed banks, chemistry, and microorganisms of soils excavated from wetland impoundments designated for wildlife
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
To evaluate the effects of municipal wastewater effluent (WWE) and Missouri River water (MOR) as irrigation sources on soil chemistry, seed banks, and microorganisms, a field study was conducted in conjunction with a set of greenhouse studies...
Generation, collection and characterization of nanoparticles and their diffusion in arbitrary tumor and normal tissue geometry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Nanoparticles have unique electronic, optical, mechanical, magnetic and chemical properties that are significantly different from those of the bulk materials. Because of this...
The most favorable temperatures for the cooking of some typical foods
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)
A search through available published material on the subject of the cooking of foods reveals for the most part only recommendations of fairly wide ranges rather than definite limits of temperature for the cooking of specified ...
Development and evaluation of a site stormwater analysis calculator intended for the State of Missouri utilzing regional best management practices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
The Site Stormwater with Best Management Practices (BMPs) Analysis Calculator was created to be utilized in the State of Missouri for developing or re- developing property. Simplistic and conservative stormwater evaluations utilizing regional...
Pressure, volume, temperature, and composition properties of liquid n-alkane mixtures at elevated pressures

Development of Pentablock Copolymer Based Formulations for the Sustained Delivery of Protein Therapeutics in the Treatment of Posterior Segment Ocular Diseases
(2013)
(TB) (PCL-PEG-PCL, B-A-B) and PB (PLA-PCL-PEG-PCL-PLA (C-B-A-B-C) and PEG-PCL-PLA-PCL-PEG (A-B-C-B-A)) copolymers based thermosensitive gelling polymers. We have observed distinct effect of block arrangement and molecular weights of block copolymers...
Use of main channel and shallow-water habitat by larval fishes in the lower Missouri River
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
or equal to] 5 cm/s. Silver/bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix/nobilus) exhibited no selection based on water depth or current velocity. Chub spp. selected depths between 20-50 cm and areas 2-3 m from the waters edge. The larval fish assemblage...
Pulsatile viscous flow in flexible-elastic tubes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1971)
The flow of an incompressible viscous fluid through a circular tube has received considerable attention during the past fifteen years, both for steady flow and for pulsatile flow. The practical application of blood flow ...
Relative influence of the sire and dam upon the inheritance of speed in standard trotting horses
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)
