Biomineralizers from the proterozoic to today : assessing taxonomy and paleoecology through the lens of taphonomy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The onset of metazoan predation is presumed to have triggered an evolutionary arms race of prey defenses, including the advent of biomineralization. Escalating biological...
Geostatistical integration of core and well log data for high-resolution reservoir modeling
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-06-01)
-plug porosity data was generated from well-log data with random number generation. The GS model requires basic histograms and variogram models for scaling the computerized tomography (CT) plug data to well log scale as well as integrating the data in a...
The separation of vanadium from crude sodium uranate and conversion of latter into uranium oxide
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)
The experiments here described have resulted in at least four methods that have proven successful for removal of vanadium from the crude urinate, which is obtained on a large scale in the plant of the National Radium Institute.
Some characteristics and environmental sensitivities of taxpayers taking the United States political contribution tax credit during 1979-1982
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1988)
This study was designed to determine characteristics of taxpayers taking the political contribution tax credit from 1979 to 1982. This work is similar to studies on the effectiveness of tax incentives in promoting positive ...
The determination of the lecithans in the tissues and fluids of the animal body
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1905)
The Hoppe-Seyler method not offering a means of separation of the lecithins from the kephalins was not experimentally investigated. In attempting to apply the method of Koch to other tissues than the brain and spinal cord, ...
Analysis of landscape characteristics surrounding deer vehicle accidents in St. Louis County, Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Increased suburbanization of rural landscapes is leading to a greater number of human animal interactions. One of the most dangerous and costly of these interactions is collisions between vehicles and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus...
Pricing and trading practices of country elevators in Missouri
(University of Missouri., 1958)
"The purpose of the study is to obtain information concerning the pricing and trading practices of country grain elevators in Missouri that will be of value to grains producers, elevator operators, and others who are interested in grain marketing...
Effects of pressure and temperature on the yield strength of tantalum and rhenium
(2013)
The effects of pressure and temperature on the yield strength of tantalum and
the effects of pressure on the yield strength of rhenium were investigated using ruby
fluorescence. A new Raman system with a motorized stage ...
Coprolites of the late eocene using virtual paleontology from the Pipestone Springs Main Pocket, Montana
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
volumes and diameters for statistical comparison between the two different size classes of coprolite. In combination with volume renders of the segmented material, we also adopt more traditional methods such as thin-section petrography and scanning...
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 technique for evaluating riparian vegetation change in the tallgrass prairie
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)
North America's tallgrass prairie region is one of the world's most endangered ecosystems. Recent management and research efforts have focused on the effects of anthropogenic change to upland components of the tallgrass ...
Validating the use of machine learning techniques in evaluating additive manufactured elastic materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] As additive manufacturing continues to find widespread use in research and industry and the number of materials suitable for use in additive manufacturing, there is increasing...
Pressure, volume, temperature, and composition properties of liquid n-alkane mixtures at elevated pressures
(University of Missouri--Columbia., 1969)
Irrigation practices and costs in southeastern Missouri - 1959
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1961)
Field crop irrigation is a relatively new production technique in Missouri. Prior to this investigation, only United information was available concerning costs and returns. The research reported here was assigned to determine (1) the costs...
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...
Sex variability
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1919)
The question of variation has long been of interest to scientists. Since the time of Darwin we find investigators endeavoring to determine which sex is the more variable. In a well known controversy on this subject between ...
Simulating the effects of riparian zone delineation and management practices on landscape pattern and timber production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)
to erosion or pollutant discharge. Analyzing the effects of different buffering scenarios upon landscape pattern and timber volume provides forest managers with better tools for deciding the best action to take in balancing timber harvest with the biological...
Space use and resource selection by Eastern spotted skunks in the Ouachita Mountains, Arkansas
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
of western Arkansas. During two years of field work we collected locations at 28-hour intervals for 33 eastern spotted skunks. Using kernel-based utilization distributions and the volume of intersection index analysis, we found significant seasonal...
