Explaining variation in adoption and implementation of anti-corruption policies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Since the negative effects of corruption on the quality of government are becoming more apparent, the anti-corruption industry is expanding. Yet while scholars have developed several anti-corruption policies, political ...
The use of pluripotent stem cells as a model for early human placentation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Throughout gestation, the placenta plays a critical role in ensuring proper development of the fetus. The placenta functions to exchange nutrients, oxygen, and fetal waste...
Theoretical analysis of heat and mass transfer processes in an evaporative cooling system with zeolite desiccant powered by solar energy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Concerns about energy sources depletion and environmental pollution issues have been raised and is a top priority of the global community. Refrigeration machines have been...
Antony's oriental policy until the defeat of the Parthian expedition
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1918)
Text from page 1: "For a comprehensive study of Antony's relations to the Orient, it is necessary to take up in some detail the proconsulship of Gabinius in Syria, for it was as commander of the cavalry that Antony first ...
Relative influence of the sire and dam upon the inheritance of speed in standard trotting horses
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)
Since the study of the transmission of character began, a diversity of opinion has existed and some data have been secured upon the relative influence of sire and dam in the production of offspring. From the limited data ...
Dissecting the genetic basis of carbohydrate partitioning in maize and sugarcane
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
partitioning in maize and sugarcane. These studies establish the foundations for future experiments to determine the genetic architecture controlling carbohydrate partitioning in plants....
Regulation of plant development in Arabidopsis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The development of a complex organism, such as a plant, requires the function of multiple pathways that regulate various aspects of the developmental process. Here pathways...
Alleviation of heat stress with Tasco in dairy cows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The present study determined the impact of Tasco, Ascophyllum nodosum, on heat stress in dairy cows. Thirty-two Holstein cows were utilized in a randomized complete block design, during 63 days in summer 2008. Feed intake, ...
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)
and targets, decisionmakers need data-driven analysis to understand both the costs and environmental impacts of their plans. This study develops a decision support tool applied in Columbia, Missouri, USA, with aims to model the economic and environmental...
Profile, fall semester, 1980

Investigation of rare alleles in maize using the zea synthetic doubled haploid population
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The biology of rare alleles is important to our understanding of genotype-to-phenotype relationships. Understanding the role of rare alleles can aid in the selection...
Reinventing a moral mode : a textual analysis of 21st century "living Lei Fengs" in China Daily
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This study explores how China Daily has extended the collective memory of iconic Chinese role model Lei Feng in articles about so-called "living Lei Fengs" published from 2003...
Developing a modern recycled mix design and automatic pavement monitoring system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
. To this end, the performance of eighteen different dense-graded asphalt mixtures paved in Missouri were investigated. The sections contain a wide range of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and recycled asphalt shingles (RAS), and different types of additives...
Tensile strength, shear strength, and effective stress for unsaturated sand
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
It is generally accepted in geotechnical engineering that non-cohesive materials such as sands exhibit no or negligible tensile strength. However, there is significant evidence that interparticle forces arising from capillary ...
Applied genomics toward targeted improvement of soybean
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
The abundance of genomic data produced by the research community in the last decade has offered an unprecedented view into the variation present in the soybean genome and has been exploited to uncover the genetic architecture ...
Computational studies of gases adsorbed on graphene-like materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Functional Theory. We observe a monotonic increase of the interlayer spacing consistent with experiments only for a model of benzene-1,4-diboronic acid (DBA) molecules bonded covalently to graphene on both sides of the pore at random orientations...
